“Idols SA” judge Unathi Nkayi defended her comments on the show Sunday after a social media user called her.
This comes after Unathi was criticized for being “unfair” to contestant Zama Khumalo.
The only surviving woman in the competition, Zama, performed Boom Shaka’s “Thobela”.
While Somizi Mhlongo-Motuang loved her voice, she felt she had fallen short of her performance.
“Vocally you killed him, he was fresh, young and current,” he said, with Randall Abrahams agreeing with him.
Unathi added that viewers needed a lot more from her if they wanted to go further in the competition.
She redeemed herself in the second half of the show, however, with the backing of the Mzansi Gay Choir, she performed Beyoncé’s “Sweet Dreams”.
Both Randall and Unathi praised her for her performance, and Somizi said it was a beautiful performance.
While Twitter users expressed that they felt the judges were looking for problems with Zama’s performance, one Instagram user criticized Unathi.
Loyiso Thomas commented on an image that Unathi uploaded to the social media platform in which he poses on the stage of “Idols SA”.
“You are unfair to Zama sis Unathi, with respect,” commented the user.
Within minutes, the radio personality and the singer responded to the comment, defending themselves.
“I was lying about Thembi standing respectfully! Please do not do it. I’m really not in the mood. I hope you wrote this on the other judge’s pages because we all felt and said the same with respect, ”Unathi replied.
