The great news for contestants this year is that everyone will have a chance to audition. All eligible hopefuls from all corners of our country will be able to partake in the auditions.
“Firstly, we need to ensure that we follow Covid-19 protocols and health and safety requirements. So, obviously, having thousands of contestants in queues would put everyone at risk, so now with online-only auditions, we have eliminated the risk.
The second reason is that we want to reduce the barrier to entry on Idols. In the past some great singers may not have been able to make it to the big city auditions, the new online system ensures everyone has an equal opportunity to enter no matter where they live in South Africa. We are very excited to see the new talents we may find, from contestants who have not been able to make it to the audition cities in the past.”
