Idols SA is one of the biggest reality shows in South Africa, and it has a massive following. The show made its debut twenty years ago, and it aims to discover singing talents in South Africa. However, many famous singers today were discovered on Idols SA, and they are making waves in the music industry today.<\/p>\n

Qwabe Twins<\/h4>\n
First on our list is the Qwabe twins<\/a> (Viggy and Virginia Qwabe). They become famous for their mouthwatering performances on Idols SA season 15. Since their first performance on Idols, fans were confident they would win the show because of their signature voices. However, things took an unexpected turn when Virginia was eliminated. Viggy left the show twenty-four hours later due to bullying and rigging allegations.<\/p>\n

Despite the Qwabe twins not making it to the finals, they got signed by Afrotainment Records owned by DJ Tira. Ever since they started working with DJ Tira,<\/a> the Qwabe twins have been releasing hit songs after hits. Their career is at its peak, and the Q twins won two local music awards.<\/p>\n
Mmatema Moremi<\/h4>\n

However, that was not the end of her career; Universal Music South Africa signed Mmatema. She soon left the label to start a career in gospel music under Mmatema Moremi’s media productions. As of 2022, the gospel singer is making waves in the gospel music industry, making her one of the best gospel musicians.<\/p>\n
