JOHANNESBURG – In what was an intense and highly entertaining SA’s Got Talent finale at the Soweto Theatre on Sunday November 9, Tholwana Mohale (14) walked away as the winner of this year’s competition.
All six acts competing for the grand prize of R250 000 and the title of being Mzansi’s most talented, came out in full force on the night. The top six acts were narrowed down to the final three contestants which consisted of Tholwana Mohale from Steinkopf, Freeze Frame from Kempton Park and Joe Fredericks from Brakpan.
