Shortly after winning season 8 of South African Idols, Durbanite Khaya
Mthethwa was appalled to find out that his runner-up and friend Melissa
was booed before her performance at the final show of Idols 2012. “If I
was in the audience I would have been very disappointed” said Khaya who
walked away with half a million Rands and a brand new Ford Fiesta,
ironically the same colour that he used in his music video for his
latest single, “Move”. The Joyous Celebration singer also praised the
Port Elizabeth born contestant saying she worked hard to get this far in
the competition and gave him a run for his money. Khaya
also dismissed claims that he was head hunted by the show to be the
first black winner and he believed he won on merit because if he
couldn’t sing, then the viewers wouldn’t have voted.
While we wait for Khaya’s album, Melissa will also be going to studio
and is said to be working on a dance album after the end of this season
while planning to explore her acting skills. This has been the
most successful Idols show in all 8 seasons with more than 3 million
votes counted for the finale alone.
Congratulations to Khaya and well done to Melissa for getting that runner-up prize of 100k from KFC.
