Former South African idols judge Unathi Nkayi, recently took to her social media where she posted an image of herself in sportswear which caused a stir as many of her fans thought that she might be making a comeback on the small screens soon.
The singer and media personality stated in her post that she was shooting a new show after a year of not being on screen.
“I don’t train this hard all year but only intensify before major events in my life. I’ve truly enjoyed the rest of not being on TV for a year, which hasn’t happened since 2010.
“Now that it’s shooting season again to do it for focus, strength and confidence. Thank you my friend,” she wrote.

Unathi cancelled some of her gigs, after being fired from Kaya FM in November last year. This happened after her dispute with Sizwe Dhlomo who she allegedly accused of verbal abusive and unprofessional conduct, .
The revamping of the judging panel for season 18 of Idols SA saw her being axed after being with the show for 10 seasons.
Recalling her journey on the show, Unathi penned a heart-warming post of gratitude.
“I can never thank you enough Anneke, for making that call asking me to join the Idols family. Gav and Prozza thank you for trusting me with such a great responsibility. One that would form part of the narrative and soundtrack of our souls as a people. You changed my life and that of my family.“Thank you to each and every one of you for pushing me to be the very best version of myself every Sunday for 11 years.” she wrote.
Unathi has since managed to redeem herself when she joined radio station Star FM to host a weekday show from 3pm to 6pm alongside Justin Toerien on the All-Star Drive.
