M-Net channel head Pierre Cloete assured the media at the press conference that the votes were checked and rechecked numerous times, specifically because of how small the difference was between votes for each finalist.
Van Vuuren thanked South Africa for the support, saying: "I can't wait to show you music from the soul."
