For most of the voting France seemed like a sure thing for victory. However, with the last 7 juries not awarding France a single point but in stead putting their support behind South Africa, the African country strolled past their European opponent and claimed their second victory in Global Music. France settled for the silver, with United States taking the bronze and Mexico and Liechtenstein rounding out the top 5.

South Africa made their debut in GM/32, but did not reach the final until GM/38 and the top 10 until GM/48. Following 3 consecutive non-qualifications, South Africa quit the contest after GM/57 and didn't return until GM/73, when they finished towards the bottom of the scoreboard in the final. However, in the following edition, they rised from the ashes and took home their first medal, when Nádine won the bronze. Interestingly, they then decided to stay home for a few editions, before making a triumphant comeback with their first victory in GM/78, as Velile and Safri Duo soared to the top of the scoreboard. More top 10 results followed and South Africa came close to more gold, settling for the silver in GM/125 and /136 with Connell Cruise and Troye Sivan respectively, and now BlackByrd and Craig Hinds brings the contest back to South Africa! The southernmost African nation has now participated 76 times, reaching 34 finals, finishing in the top 10 on 12 occasions, taking home 5 medals including 2 of gold. José Mora took over the South African delegation in GM/115 and can now finally call himself a champion! Well done South Africa, BlackByrd, Craig and José Mora!
