This week, Idols South Africa kicked off its 17th season with a bang! It’s remained one of the most popular shows in South African television history and this week, guest judge Prince Kaybee joined the judges, Randall Abrahams, Somizi Mhlongo and Unathi Nkayi for the first judges’ auditions.
Golden tickets were dished out, and more contestants marked a spot for themselves to attend Theatre Week.
The new season comes hot off the heels of a successful entry period which took place on line as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. In fact, over 10 000 people entered online during the first week of the call to enter period.
