Idols SA finale: Here's how it went down

And it's a wrap. 

See you for season 13!

Noma closes the show with a performance of her single. 

Noma is so overwhelmed she can't even speak.

Yassss!

We finally have a female winner!

And the winner of Idols SA season 12 is Noma!

Only 50 000 votes seperate Noma and Thami. 

ProVerb has the results in his hand.

Waiting for the winner to be announced like...

Gareth just gave his last words of wisdom.

We'll miss you too G!

We're on the edge of our seat.

Noma's single hit number 16 and Thami's single hit number 1 on iTunes. 

14 million votes were cast this week.

We're minutes away from hearing who South Africa has voted for.

And the crowd goes wild for Thami.

You can't go wrong with a Stevie Wonder song!

The Idols awards...

Remember when Jack Parow was a guest judge?

A well deserving Wooden Mic winner! 

The Wooden Mic countdown!

This performance by the Top 10 though.

Remember Siyakha?

What could Somizi be up to back stage?

This song is such a throwback with Zola!

Those prizes are sweet!

Joking!

What a beautiful performance by Karabo.

Randall was the only judge brave enough to predict who he thinks will win.

His bet is on Noma. 

Awww Randall thanked Gareth for all their years together on the show.
