“You have no choice but to be a super star,” says Somizi just a few minutes before Paxton was announced as Idols SA season 13 winner.
17-year old Paxton Fielies becomes the youngest winner in the history of the South African Idols competition.
After a gruelling competition and a record breaking season with nearly 100 million votes cast, the winner of Idols SA season 13 Paxton takes home the big prize of over one million rand.
Congratulations to Paxton!
