A nationwide talent search will kick off on 7 June for participants in The X Factor South Africa, which begins airing on SABC1 in September 2014.
The international reality show format has done exceptionally well in other markets, producing stars such as Leona Lewis, James Arthur and pop singing sensation, One Direction. The South African version is produced by Rapid Blue productions, which is licensing the show from FremantleMedia Ltd and SimcoLtd.
Zandile Nkonyeni, Head of PR: SABC TV Channels says, The X Factor has set the benchmark in finding worldwide superstars over the years. The decision of SABC1 presenting this show is informed by the insight that our viewers and South Africans at large have an overwhelming goal to showcase their extraordinary talents for their aspiration to mega-stardom. SABC1 is therefore a natural home for The X Factor South Africa, reaffirming once again that SABC1 is the entertainment authority within the TV landscape. So if you know that you have that indefinable something of superstar quality (the X Factor), now is your chance to show SA what you ve got.
The winning act on The X Factor South Africa will receive R300, 000 and a Sony Music recording contract.
Open auditions will begin in Durban on 7 June and continue in the following cities:
Bloemfontein: 11 June, Bloemfontein Civic Centre
Cape Town: 14, 15 June, Athlone Stadium
Polokwane: 18 June, Peter Mokaba Stadium
Johannesburg: 21, 22 June, the Pyramid Venue
Nelspruit: 25 June, Mbombela Stadium
Pietermaritzburg, 28 June, the Royal Show Grounds
