  "account": "Lasizwe Dambuza was identified as Sushi on The Masked Singer South Africa Season 3's latest episode. After facing the Danger Zone against Gogga, Lasizwe was unmasked. Somizi Mhlongo was the only detective to correctly guess Lasizwe before his reveal. This correct identification moved him one step closer to winning the Golden Ear trophy, given to the detective who identifies the most celebrities. During his time on the show, Lasizwe performed songs like Outkast's Hey Ya!, Mandoza's Nkalakatha, and Babes Wodumo's Umngan'wami. Clue packages revealed his career in content creation and radio/television. Possible identities included Okay Wasabi, Cheslin Kolbe, Primo Baloyi, Bongani Khumalo, and Dr Musa Mthombeni. The clue game ended with Somizi correctly guessing Lasizwe's identity, citing his distinctive walk and YouTube references.",
