Performing for the first time on home turf, Idols contender Khaya Mthethwa said he was surprised and overwhelmed by the crowd\u2019s response at the Durban Day concert yesterday. <\/p>\n
Mthethwa got the crowd of thousands going crazy by performing Earth Wind and Fire\u2019s September, Keri Hilson\u2019s Knock You Down and R Kelly\u2019s The World\u2019s Greatest, the songs that won him the hearts of millions of Idols viewers. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am just so overwhelmed by the love the Durban people have shown me,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Mthethwa, of Durban North, has been away from home for three months while taking part in the Idols competition. He described the first month as tough, but said he had eased into the change. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere is something about Durban that makes me smile; we have a very beautiful city and I\u2019ve missed it,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI wouldn\u2019t have got this far in the competition had it not been for the support of my family and the whole of Durban <\/p>\n
\u201cI just have to keep on reinventing and pushing myself,\u201d said Mthethwa. <\/p>\n
