‘Singing was the most daunting part’: Tumi Morake on her ‘Masked Singer South Africa’ experience

Comedian and television presenter Tumi Morake was unveiled as Koeksister on The Masked Singer South Africa Season 3's latest episode. The masked contestant competed for a spot in the subsequent round, performing Rihanna's Don't Stop the Music. The detective panel struggled to guess her identity, with Somizi and Sithelo Shozi correctly identifying Morake, while guest detective Zwai Bala and Skhumba suggested other names.

Morake's clues provided insights into her background and career. Her clues described her upbringing in the Free State and referred to herself as "the perfect combination of the dough and syrup." The clues also included cupcakes with drama and comedy masks and the SABC logo, upon which she tossed a piece of cake.

During an earlier episode, guest detective Jason Goliath identified Morake from her clues, asking her about her role models. She mentioned learning about love at home, moonwalking through life, and truth disguised as laughter. Morake's proudest moment was graduating the same year as FIFA World Cup 2010, which Somizi and Sithelo Shozi connected to her identity.
