Zamagambu Memela “Xae”

Zamagambu Memela, also known as Xae, is a South African singer from Pinetown, Durban.

She was a contestant on Idols SA Season 14 in 2018 where she finished in 7th position.

Xae is the first contestant in the history of Idols SA to get her Golden Ticket autographed by a Judge. That is a pretty impressive feat when one considers how tough simply scoring four yeses tends to be.

Xae says winning Idols South Africa would make all her dreams come true.
