Shekhinah from Durban was particularly nervous to face the Idols Judges this year, fearing that she let them down last year when she flaked out at Sun City.

“I can’t even explain to you how apologetic I’m feeling,” she assured Randall Abrahams in Auditions.

“This year I’m doing it all the way,” she promised. And so far she has kept her promise – “You’re already going to be a household name and it’s only been a couple of episodes!” a gushing Gareth Cliff praised her during this year’s Hell Week at Sun City.
