The actress also shared that being on The Masked Singer SA was fun and felt like one of those musical theatre productions.

"When Anele Mdoda called me, I knew I had to say yes. I was also familiar with the international version of the show and despite my demanding work schedule, I knew I had to be a part of the first season.
