The top two contestants, Karabo Mogane
and Mmatema Moremi have embarked on a nationwide tour before the live finale of
the 11th season of Idols
on M-Net and Mzansi Magic that will again set a new voting record on Sunday.
The vote tally on Sunday, as the latest
season of the singing reality competition show draws to a close, will again
shatter two records: the one for the overall number of votes cast over the
whole season, as well as the number of votes for the final week of the show.
Idols has already
been renewed for a 12th season in 2016 on M-Net (DStv 101) and
Mzansi Magic (DStv 161) and will next year see some competition on M-Net itself
in the form of The Voice South Africa
which starts in January and will look to steal some of the Idols voting success,
viewer interest and buzz.
For now all the attention is on the live
finale of Idols happening on Sunday
at Carnival City with all tickets for the massive venue already sold out.
As in previous years, the last two
contestants have embarked in a whirlwind publicity tour to drum up support and
votes with nationwide appearances, media interviews and performances.
Karabo Mogane (24) and Mmatema Moremi
(23) are flying to Cape Town today where they will start their next round of
media interviews, personal appearances and performances after they land at the
Cape Town International airport at 18:10.
Both will perform in Cape Town at Canal
Walk at Century City on Wednesday at 15:00, after which they jet off to Durban
and land at Durban's King Shaka International airport at 22:00 on Wednesday
night. On Thursday they will perform at The Workshop in Durban at 13:00.
In-between the two will do radio
interviews on stations like KFM, East Coast Radio, Gagasi 995 FM and Vuma 103
FM.
