Idols within rights to ditch contestant

WIN FASHION TICKETS

IDOLS and M-Net were entitled to exclude Siyakha Tshayela, from the Top 16 round of the show, according to the high court in Joburg.

Tshayela had approached the court with an urgent application on Saturday night to allow her to take part in the round yesterday, despite not complying with a rule of the competition, namely that she be able to sign an exclusive recording deal with a label identified by Idols.

Since her court application failed, she will not be allowed to continue as a contestant. Tshayela signed the Idols agreement in February despite having a contract with a recording company which is in place until 2019. She tried unsuccessfully to cancel the contract but was unable to do so in time.

The judge ruled that Tshayela had made a misrepresentation in the agreement she signed with Idols, and that had entitled Idols to end her participation. Idols wished Tshayela well. – Staff Reporter FASHION lovers will from tomorrow be spoilt for choice when SA Fashion Week showcases the Autumn Winter 2017 season items by top designers and impressive newcomers.
