Idols South Africa Season 3 voting results
Idols South Africa 3 was a competition held from August to November in 2005. The voting results were released on 1 December 2005.
M-Net has followed up on its promise to release voting details for Idols 2005, which saw 11 contestants fall by the wayside and eventually revealed Karin Kortjé as the winner. Over 10 million votes were cast this season, making Idols III the most successful in 2005. M-Net has also released the audited voting numbers after previous seasons of the competition, in exactly the same fashion. The results which appear below are based on votes received from the public via SMS, IVR and on the Idols website, together with the judges’ rankings. The judges ranked the contestants directly after the show on a Sunday, long before 18:35 on Mondays, when the public voting lines closed.
Carl Fischer, Head of Local Productions at M-Net believes that this information will put a variety of rumours regarding the voting - generated by a minority of viewers - to rest. “We can confirm that winner Karin topped the public voting throughout the Top 12 phase of the competition, justifying her position as winner of Idols III,” he says. The statistics for the competition from the Group phase, through to the Final, appear below. Each contestant’s number of votes is represented by a percentage of the total, with the total number of votes received for each voting period reflected in the total for each week.[1]
Votes were accepted via a 08622777+ phone number, voting of the contestant name via SMS to 33676 & finally an online voting option via the official website. During the semi finals, the top 2 vote getters advanced to the finals.
It is not sure if the release factored the 49% leverage of the judges' votes or are viewer votes only.

Ayanda Mpama, Jamie-Lee Blokdyk, Bonolo Molosiwa & Veronique De Lange were explicitly by the judges to advance to the finals of the competition, this was minutes after the Group 4 results.
