The Masked Singer South Africa returns with spectacular masks hiding Mzanzi megastars

Meet Diamond and Cheetah – two more magnificent creatures competing on The Masked Singer South Africa Season 2

Saturday, 6 April, is a massive day on S3 (formerly known as SABC 3). That’s when the much-anticipated second season of the fun-filled television singing contest The Masked Singer South Africa kicks off with a song and dance.

To date, Primedia Studios and production company Rose and Oaks Media have lifted the lid on three of the 16 costumed characters concealing A-list stars. After performing on stage in spectacular sing-offs and sharing some clues about their identity, the show’s coveted Golden Mask Trophy awaits the celebrity who manages to stay anonymous right until the end.

Fans of the show already know that a suave Giraffe will stick out its long neck to rise above the competition. Furthermore, it has been revealed that Gold and Tortoise are ready to conquer The Masked Singer South Africa stage.

However, Gold will not be the only high-carat star polished to perfection for this zany singing competition. Usually, they make a fine jewellery pair, but in The Masked Singer South Africa Season 2, the precious metal will have to outshine the world’s most popular gemstone, Diamond.

Besides these mined masked treasures, all kinds of creatures from the animal kingdom will be vying for The Masked Singer South Africa crown, and the cat is out of the bag: Cheetah is up for the chase to the finishing line.

Still, the question remains: how much speed is needed to stay anonymous? Will Cheetah deceive the detective panel with lightning-fast moves, or will slow Tortoise keep some difficult clues to crack under its shell?

The Masked Singer South Africa’s dazzling yet quirky outfits were designed and manufactured by the talented team of Hollywood Costumes.

Owner Heidi du Toit says:

“Each Mask is unique, eye-catching and was made with painstaking attention to detail.”

Diamond comprises hundreds of smaller diamond-shaped sewn items as part of the overall gemstone shape, and Cheetah’s flowing mane was made from soft human hair.

One can’t help but wonder who will be behind these masks.

The first season winner, Lollipop, turned out to be singer-songwriter Holley Rey, while runner-up Rhino was unmasked as Kurt Darren. The other household names hiding in masks were Mmusi Maimane, Victor Matfield, Doctor Khumalo, Bongani Bingwa, Devi Sankaree Govender, Jason Goliath, David Kau, Zozibini Tunzi, Maps Maponyana, Abdul Khoza, Zikhona Sodlaka, Shekhinah, Makhadzi and The Lazy Makoti.

While the 16 new masks are gearing up for their debut on The Masked Singer South Africa, last season’s masks have hit the road for a swan song at malls across the country. Capetonians can catch them at Primedia Land at the Blue Route Mall between 3 and 7 April.

Mpho Popps reprises his role as The Masked Singer South Africa’s charming host, and on detective duty, you’ll find four distinguished super-sleuths J’Something from Micasa, Somizi Mhlongo, Skhumba Hlophe and Sithelo Shozi.

During the show, millions of The Masked Singer South Africa fans nationwide will be entertained by the supercool “Men in Black“, who assist the Masks in acting out mysterious snippets of their celebrity lives. And, in line with the magnitude of such a singing contest, the show will again be brought to homes across Mzansi in association with Andolex®, South Africa’s No. 1 brand for sore mouths and throats.

The premiere episode of The Masked Singer South Africa will be screened on Saturday, 6 April 2024 at 18:30 on S3 (formerly known as SABC 3) with rebroadcasts on SABC 1 on Thursdays at 21:00, as well as on S3 on Fridays at 22:00.
