Nozi talks about the lessons she learnt on Idols SA
Being in a singing competition is not a walk in the park. It takes a lot of strength and courage to sign up and work through the eliminations and the hard work.
Nozi said the show taught her to be selfless and to work hard. She added that one of the many challenges she had to overcome was working with other contestants and competing with them. She added:
"I learnt how to conduct yourself as an artist and a human being. How to respond to questions, and how to speak. I have learnt to work with a lot of people, and at the same time, I am competing with them. I have also learnt to put others first before myself."

Why him?" He deserved it. He is an amazing person, he worked hard to be where he is, and his win is my win. He is like my older brother, his win is my win."
