Following his departure from the show on Saturday, Thando reflects on his time on Idols SA, the nuggest of wisdom he is keeping for his career, as well as hints of his future plans.

Usher is the moment and sticking to the love theme that Thando devours week in and week out, he handled ‘Caught Up’ with the utmost gentleness while fighting with fire vocals.

When it comes to love songs, Thando stays in his elements. And when his turn to unleash his own rendition of a timeless classic by Grammy award winning icon, Lionel Richie, Thando stepped up his game.

Idols SA's latest episode was a rollercoaster of emotions as Thando bid farewell, leaving only six contenders to battle it out for the throne.
