Khaya Mthethwa from Durban made KZN very proud tonight when he became the eighth South African to win South African Idols!

Almost 3 million South Africans voted in the past week in the hottest Idols contest in many years.

Even before the big moment when Khaya took the title, the Idols Season 8 Finalé was a spectacular live show, starting with a guest appearance by South Africa’s “zef” rapper Jack Parow. The star-studded show also included a performance by Zakes Bantwini and the guys of the Season 8 Top 10, Toya Delazy with the girls, last season’s winner Dave van Vuuren, and Freshlyground, singing their latest single, “Take Me To The Dance”.

Khaya will start working on his album with Universal Music within the next couple of weeks and his first single, “Move”, which he debuted in the Top 2 Spectacular last week, is already getting airplay.
