Celeb cousins: Robot Boii and Khanyi Mbau’s ‘Masked Singer’ family secret revealed
Robot Boii and Khanyi Mbau transformed their family bond into pure television enchantment.
The Masked Singer South Africa, season three, concluded with a touching family revelation. Actresses Khanyi Mbau and Robot Boii, cousins in real life, were unmasked as Chopsticks and Mosquito respectively. Chopsticks, the runner-up, was identified as multi-talented media personality Mzwakhe "Mzi" Mbuli Jr., while Mosquito turned out to be Bontle Modiselle.
Robot Boii, who went by Mzi Jr., expressed that donning the character was liberating, allowing him anonymity to explore a different side of himself. Khanyi Mbau, however, was familiar with her cousin, claiming she could recognize him anywhere and was thrilled when she heard him perform Sisqo’s Thong Song. Robot Boii's commitment to the Mosquito character was evident, even rehearsing offstage to master the character's movements.
Despite not winning, Mbau was proud of Robot Boii's second-place finish, though she expressed disappointment in Spotty's victory. Mbau's brother, Lasizwe (Sushi), also took part in the show, adding another layer to the family's involvement in the competition.
