Not only did the Top two smash all previous weekly voting records; this season also made
Idols SA history with an astonishing grand total of 78.8-million votes, surpassing last season’s previous record of 24.3-million.
Mogane, who was told by
Idols SA judge Somizi Mhlongo at his very first audition that he had a ‘dishwashing-water personality’, walks off with an array of prizes that includes a recording contract from Universal Music South Africa.
For the first time ever, the new Idols winner’s record will also be available within two weeks of the final, in time to land up in Christmas stockings across the country.
