With just a month to go until the premiere of The Masked Singer South Africa, fans on social media are already trying to speculate who is behind the mask.
Media personality Anele Mdoda’s production company Rose And Oaks Media partnered with Primedia to produce the local version of the internationally loved show.
Anele recently tweeted a video teaser and showed appreciation to the show’s host, comedian Mpho Popps.
“Just over a month away before TV takes on the wild side of life. @maskedsingerza is about to drop and this post is a @mphopopps appreciation post.”
