Craig Lucas wins M-Net’s The Voice South Africa!
Coach Kahn Morbee produces the show’s number one singer two years in a row
The viewing public has chosen 23-year old Craig Lucas from Elsies River as the winner of The Voice South Africa
season 2. The announcement was made at the end of this week’s
showstopper
grand finale which was broadcast live on M-Net and M-Net City from the
Mosaiek Teatro in Fairland, Johannesburg. With Craig’s victory,
Parlotones front man Kahn Morbee also clinched the title of winning
coach for the second year in a row.
More than 1.6 million votes – an all-time record for
The Voice SA – were cast in the dramatic final week of voting
during which seven incredible singers competed for the show’s grand
prize. In the end, Craig beat versatile vocalist and runner-up Josh
Ansley (31) as well as Samantha Leonard (24), Caroline
Grace Brussow (31), PJ Pretorius (26), Fatman (41) and Luke Lovemore
(23).
Craig, who was one of the audience favourites right from the start, made his first foray into singing on stage with his soulful
The Voice SA Blind Audition of “House of The Rising Sun”. While
music has always been his passion he first had to keep his promise to
his mother – to complete his studies. The new Voice of South Africa now
holds an honours degree in Finance from the
University of Cape Town. During each round of the competition Craig
wowed the audience with his unique interpretations of popular songs,
demonstrating why coach Kahn called him “the love child of John Legend
and Freddy Mercury”.
On top
of nabbing a coveted record deal from Universal Music South Africa,
Craig walked off with the following fabulous prizes from
The Voice SA sponsors:
·
R250 000 in cash from dialdirect;
·
From
Samsung, a Gear S3 smart watch, a Galaxy S8 smart phone, a Gear VR, a
360 camera, a Gear iconiX set and a 65 inch KS9500 SUHD TV;
·
A Subaru Impreza 2.0 Premium CVT;
·
R100 000 of fashion from Truworths.

The Voice SA and these stats will be made available to the public later this week.
