AUDITIONS for the new season of music reality show Idols
SA 13 have started.
Cape Town, Pretoria and Durban have already tried their luck and
this weekend, it’s Joburg’s turn to shine.
Aspiring musicians around Joburg will get a chance to fight for the
golden ticket at the auditions to be held tomorrow at Carnival City, Ekurhuleni.
Mzansi Magic’s head of reality shows, Sphumelele Sibeko, has
promised some exciting on-site revelations as part of the revamped show.
“It’s a known fact that one of our long-time judges, Gareth Cliff,
has vacated his seat. Now what everybody wants to know is: who is going to be
filling that fourth seat at the judges’ table?
“Well, wonder no more. We have lined up an exciting array of guest
judges that we are sure our viewers will be thrilled with,” said Sibeko.
Joburg will be treated to the sight of the beautiful and talented
Kelly Khumalo on the fourth chair. Kelly is no stranger to Idols.
She was a mentor as well as a duet partner last year.
“As for Durban and Pretoria, we are keeping mum on who will be
guest judges there.
“But rest assured South Africa, the buzz and suspense will be worth
it.”
) Entry is free and open to all Mzansi citizens between 16 and 30
years old on the date of their first audition.
