Cape Town – Media personalities and Idols SA judges Somizi Mhlongo and Thembi Seete got Twitter abuzz when they exchanged heated words on-screen on Sunday.
In the video clips widely shared on social media, Somizi and Thembi can be seen both raising voices at each, as the show ends.
“You have been talking over me and making the same mistakes over and over again, I have been doing this for eight years and I know better,” Somizi can be heard saying in the video.
On the other hand, Thembi can be heard saying: “I’m not a guest here, I am a judge and I am here to stay ngingumama wala ekhaya (I am the woman of this house)”.

I am almost certain that the anticipated upcoming Thembi & Somizi fight is all just a play or an act but ofcourse #IdolsSA needs as much publicity to increase viewers, so hence their marketing strategy?
