Places in the final of
SA's Got Talent are filling up fast, after another two contestants were put through to the Final 6 on Tuesday night after competing in the second semi-final.
The public vote went to hearing impaired dancer Darren Rajbal from Durban, who produced a funky routine framed by multiple big screens of him dancing.
The judges' choice came down to eight-year-old singer Cleo Filander from Vereeniging and the father/son music combo of Daniel Petersen and Daniel Petersen III (the Little Drummer Boy with the retro hairband).
Once again it was conveniently split down the middle, with
Randall casting the deciding vote this time around. He chose Cleo, who became the fourth finalist in the Top 6 and who will now get a chance to compete for a quarter of a million rand.
Darren and Cleo join
beat boxer George Avakian and guitarist Louwtjie Rothman in the final on Thursday night, with a chance of winning the R250,000 prize.
Tuesday night's second semi-final was the end of the road for 13-year-old ventriloquist Adino Trapani & Astro the Dinosaur from Johannesburg; dance group Show Stopaz from Johannesburg; magicians Soccer Mania from Khayelitsha in Cape Town and singing group Umbumbano from Port Shepstone.
The battle for the last two places in the grand finale continues on Wednesday night when the final seven semi-finalists compete in the third semi-final.
Wednesday night’s show features dogs dancing freestyle, girls dancing hip hop, children dancing contemporary, a juggler, a singer, a homemade “keke” horn as well as a man singing to win back the love of his life.
They are: Julian Hepburn, Louis Cason, Ingrid & Yvonne & Dogs; Cadence; Willem & Louis van der Merwe, Gregory Mabusela and Kalon Badenhorst.
