The mystery is back and it’s louder than ever. The sensational third season of The Masked Singer South Africa premieres Saturday, 4 July at 19:00 on its new home SABC 2with 16 A-list celebrities set to set the stage alight, all hiding behind elaborate costumes. 

While viewers wait with bated breath to see which stars will fool the show’s sharp-eyed detective panel Somizi Mhlongo, J’Something, Sithelo Shozi and Skhumba. The producers have lifted the lid on the first batch of Masks for Season 3. 

Meet the first 8 Masks turning up the heat:

Leopard

Leopard doesn’t blend into the background. Cool under pressure and bursting with confidence, this big cat knows how to make a grand entrance and get a crowd roaring. 

Spotty

Like Leopard, Spotty thrives in the spotlight. The friendly, playful, cuddly pooch turns every appearance into an event and has a habit of bouncing straight into hearts. 

Mosquito

Creates a buzz everywhere, anywhere. This impossible-to-ignore, high-flying entertainer is bold, brilliant and built to keep all eyes on stage. 

Lady Monster

Don’t be fooled by the name. This lovable creature lives life at full volume, with a big personality, serious va-va-voom and a track record for stealing the show. 

Spinach

Spinach doesn’t veg out when things get controversial. Instead, this green giant turns over a new leaf, proves people wrong, keeps growing and says it as it is. 

Pineapple

On the sweeter side, Pineapple lets the music do the talking. Warm-hearted, friendly and full of personality, this fruit’s voice has fans swooning. 

Protea

Representing Mzansi’s national flower, Protea stands tall, elegant and stylish. Strong, impossible to overlook and full of resilience and pride. 

Koeksister

Another Mzansi icon. Koeksister’s personality is difficult to untangle and that’s exactly how they like it. Golden, clever with a comeback and always keeping people guessing. 

Clues, chaos, and comedy

In The Masked Singer SA Season 3, every detail matters. Clues are hidden in the Masks costumes, song choices, movement and interactions. Miss a second and you might miss the answer. 

Mpho Popps returns as the witty host leading the investigation with a lineup of familiar famous faces popping in as guest detectives across the season.
