Yanga Sobetwa, who is only 17-years-old snatched victory to become the winner of Season 14 title.
Yanga, who becomes the second consecutive teenage girl from the Western Cape to win the title after last year’s Paxton, becomes an instant millionaire thanks to a staggeringly awesome prize package that includes a record deal, car and a myriad of other glamorous prizes.
Her runner-up, Thato, gave her a warm congratulatory hug and thanked Mzansi for the immerse support. And what support South Africa has shown, with a season record of 142 million votes, surpassing the targeted 100 million that Proverb had set in the beginning of the season.
After gruelling months of sweat, blood and tears, tonight was a two-hour celebration of a great season that saw some of the youngest contestants on the Idols stage in a while.
The finale show pulled out all the stops to bring Mzansi Magic viewers and the full house at Carnival City’s Big Top Arena a music spectacular. There were pyrotechnics, motorbikes, a jungle feel, protests, a riot of colour and a glimpse of an Africa reimagined.
Last season’s victor, Paxton, served sass with her spicy single, Angifuni, which has been blowing up on YouTube with over a million views and counting.
The two finalists debuted the videos for their first original singles, featuring various Ford cars. They also performed their Showstopper week songs and collaborated on the duet, Dusk till Dawn by Zayn and Sia.
