Johannesburg – Fans of South African TV personality, Somizi Mhlongo, were left perplexed after Mzansi Magic talent show Idols SA announced that he would be replaced by a line up of guest judges.
Fans of the show and Somizi took to social media and voiced their concerns, saying the show would become ‘too boring’ without the star.
