Is Johannesburg ready for the judges’ honesty? Even gentle Somizi Mhlongo tells a contestant, “Don’t ever sing again,” in this dramatic final round of auditions where the judges face a fake Idols winner, a famous horseracing commentator and a contestant that frightens Mhlonogo.  

With 53 Golden Tickets already handed out across the rest of the country this season, will the City of Gold have what it takes to best the other provinces?

Find out on Sunday, 2 August when Idols SA airs M-Net, channel 101 on DStv, or on Mzansi Magic, channel 161 on DStv, at 17:00. The auditions will once again be played on the Idols SA Extra channel, channel 199 on DStv, from the time the show's end credits roll.
