Controversial fight of Somizi and Thembi Seete on camera

Idols SA has been filled with a lot of drama lately. A month ago, a video of Thembi and Somizi fighting on camera went viral, and the two exchanged harsh words. The misunderstanding sparked after Somizi told Thembi that she had repeatedly made the same mistake and wasn’t listening to him. Thembi replies to Somizi that she is also a judge, free to make any decisions, and doesn’t owe him an explanation. Somizi got angry that Thembi was talking back at him, yet he was her senior.

However, the fight turned out to be a joke. Somizi and Thembi made that video in an intelligent way to make Idols SA viewers glued to their screens as they will be curious about the show’s next episode.
