Renewed!
The final notes of Idols Season 14 are still ringing in the air and already the call for new voices has begun.
Mzansi Magic has confirmed a 15th season for 2019 and the audition dates and venues have been finalised.
If you'd like to enter the new season, this is what you need to know:
Who can audition?
Anyone who is a South African citizen between the ages of 16 and 30 may enter. Minors must have written consent signed by a parent or guardian. Singers who auditioned in previous seasons are allowed to re-enter, but not anyone from a previous Top 10.
