Nozi first entered Idols SA in 2016 but did not make it beyond the first cut. This year she is back on a mission and is looking forward to proving her talent. 

After almost giving up on her dream, she says her mum has been a big part of encouraging her to give the competition another go.

Nozi says viewers can expect “joy and excellence” when she hits the stage. She plans to set the stage alight, and hopes that the viewers will resonate with her performances. She is looking forward to the live shows. “I’m excited for SA to get to know me.” 

Like her musical heroes, former American Idol contestants Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia, she hopes for the competition to catapult her to the top.
