The Idols SA 2022 (Season 18) Top 9 contestants have been revealed today on Sunday 18 September 2022 during episode 10 of the season.

Last Sunday, September 11, 2022, during episode 9 of Idols SA Season 18, the Top 10 contestants performed songs from Spotify’s “Soulful Sundays” playlist.

The lights were closed, your votes are ready and your decision was made.

Your Top 10 contestants gave you Soul but only nine contestants won your support and your votes have made the cut this Sunday.

The Idols SA 2022 Top 9 contestants are; Noxolo, Kabelo, Mpilwenhle, Ceejay, Tesmin-Robyn, Ty Loner, Nozi, Thapelo and Zee.

Unfortunately, Lerato Matsabu’s journey on Idols SA Season 18 came to an end as she couldn’t secure enough votes from the voting public to push her into the Top 9.

We are sad to say goodbye, however, we wish Lerato all the best in her future endeavors.
