The Masked Singer SA

The television reality show, The Masked Singer, with broadcasts in over 50 countries, is top of pop for audiences across the globe. In the United States, it is one of the most-watched reality competition shows. Today, the show, based on the South Korean Masked Singer, is an international phenomenon. And we have localized this international format for South Africa.

Comedian and TV personality Mpho Popps is our host of the show and will be joined by a panel of celebrity detectives consisting of J. Something of MiCasa fame, Somizi Mhlongo, Sithelo Shozi and Funny Man Skhumba. 

In every episode celebrated, personalities and entertainment superstars sing well-known songs while bejewelled in full-body costumes and masks to hide their identities. The flamboyant masks and costumes have personalities of their own and invite as much commentary as the performances themselves do. A celebrity panel of detectives must guess who is behind the mask. The studio audience is a rich component of the show, voting together with the celebrity detectives for their favourite performance. At the end of the show, the least popular performers are eliminated, but not before the mask is removed to reveal their identity.

Open up to new worlds of music and competitions, and catch The Masked Singer SA on S3, every Saturday at 18:30.
