Lungelo

Age: 28

Hometown: Johannesburg (based in Roodepoort).

After her sister sent through Lungi’s Idols SA audition video on her behalf, she realised that it was now or never. “If I don’t do it now, I’ll never do it. I’ll never know where this road could have led to,” she says.

Her musical talent began showing around age three when she would belt out Whitney Houston, resulting in her mother supporting her journey throughout.

Describing herself as complex and esoteric, musically Lungi looks up to Letta Mbulu, Kelly Khumalo, Lalah Hathaway, and Beyoncé. Season 8’s Shekhinah, season 14’s Yanga and season 15’s Xola stand out to her the most.

Music is healing for Lungi, and she hopes to use her voice to facilitate healing in others. What can we expect her to bring to the Idols SA stage? She says: “Expect a show. Expect something beautiful and something honest … When I stand and sing, I am living in my full purpose.”
