After a long and keen contest, Berry has been crowned winner of the 17th season of the reality show Idols SA.
If one were to look back from the time of the auditions, one may say she edged away thousands of contestants before finally getting the nod of the judges and voters yesterday Sunday at the season’s finale.
A week prior, she and Karabo had stunned viewers with their performances on the circuit. Even the judges commended their performances, which ultimately led to both of them heading to the finals.
A BERRY spectacular evening #IdolsSA fam! Thank you for treating it with the utmost KARABO (care) and enthusiasm 💙. You could've been anywhere in the world, but you chose to spend your Sunday night with us! Look out for ALL of Season 17's highlights in the link below

Berry, 30, wept for joy when show host ProVerb announced that she was the winner of the 17th season of the show. The win was particularly symbolic for her because it’s been over two decades of honing her talent and hoping she’d one day be celebrated on the big stage.
Her win makes her an instant millionaire. She’s also entitled to other prizes, including musical equipment from Yamaha, a Renault Kiger, R100k fashion vouchers from Truworths, a Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 on the Vodacom network, and a Bachelor of Business Administration bursary valued at over R260 000 from Regenesys Business School.
BERRIES all across Mzansi & Africa 🍓🌍, here’s a special message for you from YOUR #IdolsSA, Season 17 winner, #IdolsSABerry! 💙🙌
To think that part of the 12MILLION+ VOTES received were from you, for her, is just heartwarming.
