The season was won by dog act Adrian Stoica and Hurricane, with magician Anna DeGuzman finishing second, and dance group Murmuration placing third. [1]

Production

On March 3, 2023, it was announced that the entire main cast from the previous season would return for the new season. [2] On March 30, 2023, it was announced that the season would premiere on May 30, 2023. [3]

Season overview

For the first time in the show's history, the audience used the Golden Buzzer for Mzansi Youth Choir. This occurrence follows the sixteenth season of Britain's Got Talent to use this addition. [4]

Just like the previous season, during the final qualifying round results show on September 20, an Instant Save vote was held for viewers to send a final wildcard into the finals. The four acts included in this vote were acts that were eliminated in the live shows, with each act selected by one of the judges; Mandel selected Avantgardey, Klum selected Herwan Legaillard, Vergara selected Gabriel Henrique, and Cowell selected Chioma & the Atlanta Drum Academy. Avantgardey ultimately won the public vote, taking the last spot in the season's finals.
