Idols SA 2018 winner Yanga Sobetwa has taken a brave decision to focus on her craft and put her studies on hold.

The star has been hard at work on new music and her hectic schedule has made it difficult for her to write her matric exams this year, she shares.

“I tried doing matric full time the first six months this year, my fellow Rhodians are my witnesses, I missed alot of classes because I was working on my album"

The season 14 star, who captured Mzansi’s hearts on the show, released her debut album Promised Land.

“ I felt like I failed whereas I did not I just needed more time than normal full time students” she wrote in part. 

Yanga will write her exams in June and Dec next year.
