Season 2
ONE Gospel's Shine talent search is back. Join new Shine presenter Fezile Makhanya as he travels to four regions across South Africa to find the ultimate winner.
He is joined by new judges Liesl Penniken from Jamali, actor Tshepo Maseko and former Gospel Gold presenter Steven Molakeng.
The first eight episodes of the show feature the community auditions and show all the joy, drama, tears and praise that happen at such emotive events.
The auditions kicked off in Mamelodi, Pretoria on 4 August and the crew traveled to Soweto, Durban and finally Cape Town.
The regional episodes also feature the most beautiful sights and sounds from across the region giving viewers at home an opportunity to explore and discover our beautiful country from the comfort of their homes.
In the final episodes we follow the nine finalists on their journey of self-discovery as they compete for the grand prize: a two-record album deal and the chance to shine.
The judges choose two finalists from each region - eight in total - plus a wild card contestant who travels to the ONE Gospel studios in Johannesburg to participate in the knockout rounds.
Every Sunday perfomers need to impress judges and the studio to stay in the competition.
Finalists are eliminated at the end of each episode and in the final episode, judges and the studio audience vote for the overall winner.
