Unathi replaces Mara Louw on Idols!

Radio star Unathi Msenenga has been confirmed as a new Idols judge for season 7 of the TV show.  She will be joining Randall Abrahams, shock jock Gareth Cliff and various celebrity guest judges when the auditions kick off in Cape Town on Saturday 12 Febuary!

M-Net executive producer and director Gavin Wratten said: "It is a world-wide trend in the franchise to shuffle the judging panel around to ensure that the programme does not become formulaic and stale." Oh… right… so, the shuffle has nothing to do with Mara's drunken on-air episode, or  the former Idols judge's opinion that the show is racist then.

Who would you rather watch on Idols?
