Supporters of Idols twins march over ‘rigged’ votes

[Jopie Fourie]

Angry supporters of departed Idols SA twins Viggy and Virginia Qwabe have planned a march to today’s show at the SA State Theatre in Pretoria.

Trouble has been brewing on the Idols main stage following Viggy’s untimely exit from the competition after Virginia was booted from the competition last week.

City Press has learnt that fans of the twins were demanding that Idols SA release the votes publicly.

“Since the start of the competition, we’ve spent a fortune trying to save the twins. We opened several WhatsApp groups and spent more than R50 000 every week on both of them. We want independent auditors to re-audit the votes,” claims someone close to the Qwabe family.

Three independent sources who spoke to City Press this week claimed that the twins were leading with votes since the top 10 was announced and that Virginia’s elimination came as a shock.

“I am adamant that the votes were rigged and that they sacrificed one twin for Nolo to win. If Nolo doesn’t win, Sneziey Msomi might win this competition. Watch this space,” claimed someone who has been following Idols since it started.

... and here I was thinking people has to vote for the best singing talent. Not spending R50k a week and forcing people to vote for someone specific. The only vote rigging here in my opinion is the family who started the groups and forced people to vote to manipulate the outcome of the competition.

Some people just can't handle the fact that other people are better than them. So the outcome may be fabricated, have they forgotten that they live in africa where corruption is a way of life !?

Hahahah, so they are saying the voting is rigged, but admit to manipulating the vote themselves. Classic South Africa

Idols still exists?!?

Did their parents win an originality award for naming twins with essentially the same name? Viggy and Virginia, ffs come on, try just a little bit harder!

I doubt 10 people can cause that much destruction and mayhem...Let them march!

Why would anyone want to win idols? A few years back there was a new dinky shopping center that opened in Kyalami and they had one of the idol winners singing in the car park during the opening with about 3 people watching - I felt soo bad for whoever it was.

Like religion, believing in the idols voting system requires faith.
