One of the most popular and successful talent-searching reality series in Mzansi is called Idols SA. The objective of the show is to find up-and-coming musicians and then help them mature into successful professionals through training and mentoring.
The administration of Idols SA typically provides a big prize package consisting of cash, vehicles, electronic devices, and tokens in an effort to pique viewers’ interest in the reality talent program. Idols South Africa has been under fire from Mzansi for generating winners who aren’t talented enough to have a promising career and will instead become stars on TikTok.
Here is what happened to the Qwabe Twins after Idols
Mzansi makes fun of Idols South Africa for spawning pointless stars.
The insults were aroused when Mzansi compared the show’s season 18 participants to the one from season 16. Idols South Africa winners, according to Mzansi, are “useless stars” who are not making waves in the entertainment industry. This is in contrast to the Qwabe Twins, who did not win the competition but are now super stars.
The analogies did not end with Qwabe Twins, but Mzansi also referenced Mmatema Moremi, who captured the hearts of many during her reign as an Idols SA participant in season 11. Moremi was never victorious, but she went on to become a well-known gospel singer. Even though they were unable to win the competition, many of the Idols South Africa finalists are already making waves in the entertainment industry with their beautiful singing.
On the other side, there are real vocalists like Yanga Sobetwa, who was the champion on Idols SA season 14, and her career stopped there without losing her own compositions. Rumours have it that Yanga is struggling to make ends meet, and the medal from Idols SA is not clearing her debts. She has recently become a Tik Tok sensation despite having fewer than 120.000 followers.
The Qwabe Twins, often known as Viggy and Virginia, were catapulted into the public eye after participating in the 15th season of Idols South Africa. After putting on delicious performances each time they were on stage, the twins were eventually split up to sing solo songs, which brought the level of competition down to a more appropriate level.
Their separation did not badly effect them as they maintained bringing fantasy to the stage. Things took an unexpected turn, though, when Virginia was removed from the competition for the top five spots. After twenty-four hours, Viggy withdrew from the competition owing to allegations of bullying and vote rigging on the part of the other contestants.
The Qwabe twins were unable to go to the finals, but they did receive a stroke of good luck when they were signed to a record deal with Afrotainment Records, which is owned by DJ Tira. After getting signed by DJ Tira, a singer who has won multiple awards for his work in the music industry, the Qwabe twins produced their first song, Hamba, which quickly became a popular tune.
Since the identical twins got it big in the music world, they have been producing hit after hit after hit ever since. In just the first three years of their career, they have already won two awards and been nominated for a further two awards. This is despite the fact that they are currently at the pinnacle of their career.
