CELESTE NTULI CREEPS OUT OF TORTOISE’S SHELL ON ‘MASKED SINGER SOUTH AFRICA’
On the second episode of Masked Singer South Africa, Tortoise battled Giraffe and Diamond was up against Mielie. Unfortunately, Tortoise entered the danger zone while Diamond out dazzled her in the final note. The detectives J’Something, Somizi Mhlongo, Sithelo Shozi and Skhumba Hlophe all then took a crack at who Tortoise may have been.
Skhumba guessed that Tortoise might be Thandiswa Mazwai, Thembi Seete or even Sophie Ndaba. Sithelo’s gut feeling was that Tortoise was a childhood star or someone whose career took off quickly. She guessedHulisani Ravele, Tumi Morake or Thuso Mbedu. While J’Something thought Tortoise was Ayanda Thabethe.
Media personality Somizi hit the nail on the head when he guessed that Tortoise was comedian Celeste Ntuli. This comes after actress Nthati Moshesh was unmasked as Springbok on the first episode of the second season of Masked Singer South Africa.
ALL THE CLUES WERE THERE?
The mysterious case of Tortoise started with a a clip in an all-pink salon, where the show’s Men and Women in Black pampered the confident turtle girl. Between the powder-puffing, toenail-buffing, and exchanging a seemingly useless hair straightening iron for a hair dryer, Tortoise shared some vague snippets about herself.
“I might still be a little slower than most, but my career isn’t,” Tortoise revealed. She also mentioned that she misplaced an essential gadget while travelling abroad, which almost ruined her entire holiday. Furthermore, she changed career paths and counted meeting her favourite entertainer of all time as a highlight among her many different life experiences.
At the end, she explained some of the clues. The comedian lost an iPhone and a boyfriend abroad; luckily, the phone returned. The famous entertainer she met was multiple award-winning international actor and comedian Dave Chapelle.
“I’m a comedian and love making people laugh. Also an actress. But this made me feel like I’m a character and a singer,” she said after expressing her disappointment for not being apart of Masked Singer South Africa season one.
