Cape Town – Former child star, television presenter and musician Sipho “Psyfo” Ngwenya has been revealed as the celebrity behind Clock on the latest episode of The Masked Singer South Africa season three on SABC 2.
The episode featured four contestants – Sushi, Clock, Spinach and Pineapple.
Clock opened the show by taking on Sushi with a performance of I Like to Move It from the animated film Madagascar.
Before the performance, Clock’s clue package referred to being “among the young elite”, being a lifelong student and unexpectedly finding fame.
The panel of detectives – J’Something, Somizi Mhlongo, Sithelo Shozi and Skhumba Hlophe struggled to identify the celebrity behind the mask.

J’Something guessed singer Zoë Modiga, while Somizi initially suggested Khanyi Mbau before changing his guess to content creator Tumi Stopnonsons. Sithelo named actor Sandile Mahlangu, while Skhumba guessed either Hezekiél Sepeng or Caster Semenya.
Following the audience and panel vote, Sushi advanced to the next round, leaving Clock to face Pineapple in the danger zone. Pineapple was saved, resulting in Clock’s elimination.
For their final guesses, J’Something chose comedian Dillan Oliphant, Somizi remained with Tumi Stopnonsons, Sithelo selected singer Ciza Nciza after also considering Esona Maphumulo, and Skhumba guessed DJ Kabza De Small.
None of the detectives correctly identified Clock.
The mask was then removed to reveal Sipho “Psyfo” Ngwenya.
Speaking to host Mpho Popps after his unmasking, Ngwenya said he was “a huge fan of the show”.
He also explained that he chose to perform I Like to Move It because it is his son’s favourite song.
