The finale of Clash of the Choirs South Africa season four is coming to an end this Sunday. As the finale approaches KwaZulu-Natal’s team Ntencane and Western Cape’s team Vusi Nova, will battle it out for the number one spot and the prize money.
After a seven-year hiatus, Clash of the Choirs South Africa made a return for season four, with Mzansi Magic hosting the auditions in all nine provinces in South Africa.
The reality singing competition is based on the international format devised by Swedish singer Caroline af Ugglas and produced locally by Endemol South Africa.
Seven celebrity choirmasters have been coaching the choirs and preparing them for their battle to secure a spot in the top three to go into the final live show.
The winning choir will receive a grand prize of R1 million and a generous donation to a charity of the winner’s choice.
In the road to the finale, KZN’s Team Ntencane continued their winning streak, claiming victory with another outstanding performance.
Surprise exit of Limpopo, Mpumalanga
In a surprising twist, the competition bid farewell to both Limpopo’s Team HLE and Mpumalanga’s Team Khanyisa in a dramatic double elimination, while Western Cape’s Team Vusi Nova celebrated their return with a strong performance.
The choirs were given the challenge of performing songs that showcase the vocal abilities of leading artists, allowing individual talents within the choirs to shine.
For the third consecutive week, KZN’s Team Ntencane were the winners, wowing the judges and audience with their rendition of Daniel Caesar’s Best Part featuring H.E.R.
The eliminations of Limpopo’s Team HLE and Mpumalanga’s Team Khanyisa, both performing without their choirmasters, came as a shock.
Team HLE’s rendition of Luther Vandross’s Power of Love received mixed feedback. Team Khanyisa also faced similar challenges. Their take on Buhlebendalo’s Nyamazane left Dr Tumi feeling they had lost their essence, while Zwai expressed disappointment in their seriousness, and Buhlebendalo pointed out a clumsy start to their performance.
Western Cape’s Team Vusi Nova made their triumphant comeback with Lloyiso’s Intliziyo featuring Langa Mavuso.
The Clash of the Choirs SA finale will take place this Sunday at 6 pm on Mzansi Magic.
