A video clip of a lady talking about Khaya Mthethwa was shared on social media. In the video shared on social media, the lady is heard saying Khaya’s music is good but Khaya Mthethwa can’t sing. When she is asked to explain further what she is saying because there is no way that Khaya could have won Idols SA if he was a bad singer. She then said Khaya won the Idols before he can even enter the competition, and there is a possibility that he was called to participate. She says Khaya won the competition on the first day when they saw him on Idols.
