	Idols (South Africa) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Idols is a television show on the South African television network M-Net, based on the popular British show Pop Idol.
		As of 19 November, Mara Louw-Thomson, one of the Idols judges, has decided not to continue her contract between herself and Mnet as a judge due to harsh criticism received on the official message board regarding racism and favouritism.
		Viewer outrage ensued following the elimination of Nhlanhla Mwelse after it was revealed that the 4 judges had a 49% leverage to the total weekly votes and that this happened since the start of the semi finals.

	Kill Yr Idols: Nelson Mandela
		The smiling countenance of South Africa's former President is a familiar figure at the kind of "Man of the Century" award gigs frequented by the staff of Adequacy.org.
		It's a source of grim joy to the still overwhelmingly racist white minority population of South Africa that the country is in a hell of a state, and has got worse under ANC rule.
		The problems in South Africa are mainly Mandela's fault, but the problem is that he was too little of a socialist, not too much.

		Idols is based on the phenomenally successful UK version known as Pop Idols.

		Idols is a nation-wide search for South Africa’s next solo superstar, offering one young hopeful the kind of opportunity wannabes have, until now, only dreamed of.

		But once Idols is over, she admits that she'll miss the luxurious lifestyle she's enjoyed over the past few months, but even moreso, she'll miss all the wonderful people she's worked with.
		Acknowledging the emphasis on the "rags-to-riches" aspect of her story, she says that tales of her background tend to be exaggerated, and that she had two wonderful parents, a good and loving household, and emphasizes that while their lifestyle may not have been a luxurious one, they never struggled and always had what they needed.
		If she wins Idols (and possibly even if she doesn't) she plans on moving to Johannesburg to further pursue her career and build a good life for both her and her son.

		Beyond upping their stakes and their positions, they are unanimous in saying that Idols is a fantastic opportunity: that it affords one the chance to pursue one’s dream in a highly publicised arena in which chances of getting ''noticed'' are unparalleled.
		Moreover, all are quick to agree that it’s an unbelievable experience in which you get to meet people from around the country, and that it’s a whole lot of fun.
