Taking to X, the official Masked Singer SA account marked the moment with a playful nudge to fans, writing on X: “Keeping a secret is a superpower for a talkative person 😂”
Mzansi did not quite expect Psyfo to be the face that showed when the mask fell off:
“We had no clue. Great to have @SIDWELL_N gracing an entertainment show.”
“Ya no, I must just accept that I don’t know celebrities like that #MaskedSingerSA.”
“Wow, Psyfo? It was a tough one.”
“Nagana fam yoh, I am shook.”
One fan felt the show did not fully capture the depth of Ngwenya’s journey. @Motiv88r wrote: “The show missed a chance to support the audience and judges better. Psyfo was a child star @Yotv. Recently completed an MBA, New dad, moved from being a talent in media to being a leader, etc. He was undersold.”
The Masked Singer SAairs on SABC 2, with repeat broadcasts on SABC 1 every Thursday at 21:00. New episodes are also uploaded on Netflix.
