“Congratulations to Berry and Karabo for making it to the finals,” said M-Net director of local entertainment channels Nomsa Philiso.

Performing on the Idols SA stage was not Berry’s first time, she competed in Season 6 of the competition in 2010 and reached the top 30 before being discarded.

Judge Unathi Nkayi remarked that she was an inspiration to those who doubted themselves often because of this fact.
