"I can't put into words how I feel right now, but I can put it in song," said the singer.
Idols made sure the stage with lit and Mzansi got to see performances from the likes of Black Coffee, AKA, DJ Tira and Kwesta.
The hashtags #Yanga and #IdolsSA have dominated timelines since the start of the competition. And, by the looks of it, it isn't going to end anytime soon.
