PLUS: Princess Charlene says goodbye to South Africa

We're one step closer to finding out who will be crowned the winner of Idols SA season 17, and the singing competition has made history with an all-female top three. The votes are in, and it's between Karabo, Berry and S'22 Kile. One thing is for sure; it's going to be a close one! Who will it be?

Karabo Mathe from Hebron in the North-West, Berry (Berenike Trytsman) from Cape Town and S'22 Kile (S'thuthukile Langa) from Pietermaritzburg make history as the first-ever Idols SA all-female top three. 
 

It's also the first time that two of the top three contestants are returnees to the Idols SA stage: Berry and Karabo both had a previous journey with Idols SA but were eliminated before they managed to reach the stage of the weekly Sunday live shows.
 

On Sunday night, Kevin Maduna from Soweto got eliminated after receiving the least votes out of the 8 million cast last week.
 

The top three contestants are flying to Cape Town this week and will spend the week in the Mother City where they will be recording their first singles with Kalawa Jazmee Records before returning to Johannesburg for Sunday's next live show.


On Sunday 14 November, DStv subscribers will find out which two contestants will be competing in the Idols SA season finale on 21 November
