Congratulations Musa !!

The 6000 seater auditorium of the NG church in Moreleta Park in Pretoria erupted when the "gentle giant" from Witbank beat the "Ben 10" from Graskop to become the ninth winner of SA Idols in an all-male finale. Musa Sukwene emerged victorious and become the second black male to win the once white dominated show on Mnet.

Musa Sukwene won - according to M-Net with a narrow margin of just over 1 000 votes - over runner-up Brendan Ledwaba (19) from Graskop, also in Mpumalanga.

Sukwene's prizes included a recording contract with Universal Music SA, a Ford Fiesta, R60000 for state-of-the-art musical instruments, a scooter and clothing vouchers worth R30000.

He will also release a four-track digital mini-album exclusively for Samsung customers "within the next week", according to judge Randall Abrahams.

But a full debut album won't come before February. 

 

Plans for season 10 are already underway. 

 

Welcome to the industry, Musa !!
