They will join The X Factor SA's presenter Andile Ncube who was announced at the beginning of last month.
The X Factor South Africa will start on SABC1 on Saturday 6 September at 18:00 on SABC1.
It remains to be see whether South African viewers will be able to keep up and have as big an appetite for multiple TV talent shows running concurrently on South African television and which of these shows will be able to not only grab viewers' interest but manage to maintain it.
Besides the first season of The X Factor SA on Saturdays on SABC1, there will be Idols X on M-Net and Mzansi Magic (DStv 161) on Sundays at 17:30, and SA's Got Talent's 5th season on e.tv and those judges making their "X'es" also starting in September - a lot of homework for viewers, and TV critics.
The X Factor SA, produced by Rapid Blue, will unspool over the course of 15 weeks on SABC1, starting on 6 September and ending with a live finale in Durban on 13 December.
The winner receives a Sony Music Entertainment contract and R300 000 as a cash prize.
"This is a launch pad for somebody with talent but you also have to have the ambition, the work ethic and everything else," says Maijang Mpherwane, SABC1 channel head.
