Mzansi has taken to social media to celebrate the cancellation of Idols SA as they argued that it was long overdue.

Viewers had got weary of the music show, with some even calling the show to be canned countless times. Tweeps argued that Idols SA should not have been renewed for season 19 in the first place.

@DARKUndisputed;

Thank God, what a useless show. They must also cancel Big Brother

Siyabonga it’s been long overdue yooo

@Rudy1mkn;

Our prayers have been answered

Finally someone had to pull the plug. This show was becoming more about the the judges than the contestants, most viewers stopped watching based on the judges panel. I last followed this show the season which was won by Khaya or Musa.

@DindyMandie;

Finally the 19th season is not necessary they can leave it as is.

@Jabu_Mcdonald;

With this one I am not sad but happy and disappointed by how it became pointless because majority of the winners just disappear and never make it after the show.

Mzansi has already started suggesting shows they reckon should replace Idols SA. Viewers want South Africa Got Talent, Clash of the Choirs, and Coca-Cola pop stars to return back to the screens.
