Somizi Mhlongo, Announced as a Judge of The Masked Singer SA

-

 


Somizi Mhlongo is among the people who had been chosen to be the judges on the South African version of the international top-secrete musical game show, The Masked Singer South Africa. 




The news broke just a week ago and Mhlongo has expressed excitement in being appointed as one of the people who will be judging the celebrity contestants disguised in head-to-toe costumes. In the judge panel, the media personality will be joined by J Something, Skhumba Hlophe and Sithelo Shozi with Mpho Popps being the host of the guessing game show. 

This is not the first international show Somizi has taken a role of being a judge on as you may recall. In 2015, he joined the Idols SA as a judge alongside Unathi Msengana, Rendals Abrahams, and Gareth Cliff on the eleventh season of the music competition show. In 2021, he was given time off from the show after domestic abuse claims surfaced levelled against him by his now ex-husband, Mogale Motauing. 

The show will see 16 stars compete in a singing competition wearing costumes that conceal their identity. In each episode, the contestant with the lowest of votes gets to be eliminated and their identity is revealed. 

The show will premiere on Saturday, 3 June 2023, at 06:30pm on S3. And it is produced by Anele Mdoda through her production company in partnership with S3 and Primedia Group.

MK Party Growing, SA LGBT+ Should Worry

-

The South African queer community is so relaxed while a political party of a former statesman who has publicly demonstrated his strong dislike of the community is growing exponentially.  This does not come as a surprise though as the community is often ignorant on political issues that could potentially affect their lives. This was in full display when the National Health Insurance Bill was in the process of being signed into law. There were no vocal voices from this community publicly expressing how the passing of the bill could improve the access of healthcare services for our people. And that is happening again with the stalling of the Hate Crimes and Hate Speech Bill. Our people are quite and not making noise even one equivalent to a scream of a mouse.  We are simple not bothered.  Here are the reason why as an LGBTQIA+ person living in South Africa you should be a bit worried about the growth of the MK Party; Former President Jacob Zuma disapproves of our community. ...
