Idols SA's Yanga has a very different plan with her R1m prize money!

Johannesburg –  Season 14 winner of Idols, Yanga Sobetwa (17) has big plans for her life that includes going into entertainment law, getting her PhD in music, opening her own production company, and starting a music academy – but first she's going to "freeze" her R1m winnings, work on releasing her debut album with Gallo and go on tour.

In the record-breaking 14th season of the show produced by [sic] Entertainment that once again saw huge ratings on M-Net's Mzansi Magic channel on Sunday nights and again shattered the voting-record with more than 142 million overall votes cast, Yanga as the youngest contestant this season, faced off against Thato Makape as the oldest.

The young woman from Delft, who lives close to the 13th season's winner Paxton Fielies – went on to clinch the title on Sunday night in front of a a packed audience at Carnival City in the live broadcast.

"I'm a girl from locations – very simple – and I feel I don't deserve to be here at all. I did nothing to deserve to be here but I feel really blessed that people feel that I deserve to be here. And I feel really privileged and really blessed and it's really humbling," said Yanga Sobetwa at the Idols finale post-show press conference on Sunday night.

Channel24 asked her what made her click with Thato.

"Thato and I weren't so close at the beginning of the competition but as Idols continued and we both worked together on the duets and everything, I got to know him more and we both shared about our lives, and it's been nice he's a great guy and he deserves to be where he is now."

Asked about her plans and what's next she said "I'm planning to continue with my studies. I am a book girl. I have so many skills and dreams that I want to fulfill, like entertainment law. I'm planning on freezing the money for up to a year and to just live off the gig money and possible sponsorship."

"My 10 year plan that I've set up before Idols is that I'd like to have a PhD degree in music, and I'd like to open my own production company and a music academy as well – that’s what I definitely still want to do," said Yanga.

"I've always had a vision for myself. My vision is to bring teenagers closer to God through music, so it's been the vision before Idols and it doesn't have to change now. So gospel all the way and gospel pop".

Channel24 asked Yanga what her family has meant to her during the competition and how it felt bringing them with her into this new TV and entertainment industry that she has now become part of.

"I went to the audition and I was alone with my big sister and my dad," she explains.

"They're were very supportive from the get-go. And then as the competition went on, I ended up in the Top 16, then my mom came into play as well and she was like 'This is actually working!'. And every Sunday when I saw them in the crowd I felt like my heart was melting because not many 17-year old get to make their parents proud."

"The other day I saw my parents in a photo in the newspaper and my dad was smiling. And I felt my heart just melting and I cried. I feel really humbled to have been in Idols as a competition because my parents are really proud."
