Pineapple consistently delivered some of the biggest performances on The Masked Singer South Africa, leaving the Super Detectives guessing about the identity behind the mask.

While J’Something, Somizi and Sithelo Shozi all mentioned Brenden Praise’s name at different points, it was Sithelo who ultimately got it right.

After performing songs across pop, R&B, EDM and amapiano, Pineapple found himself in the Danger Zone alongside Chopsticks and Gogga. Gogga was saved by the judges, leaving Pineapple and Chopsticks to battle for a place in the semi-final. Pineapple ultimately received the fewest votes and was unmasked.

The clues pointed towards Brenden’s music career, faith, upbringing and even his time on Idols South Africa. Other clues included golden trophies, coffee, travelling, a cross and a football boot.

The football clue revealed one of the more surprising parts of Brenden’s story: at 13, he attended trials with Kaizer Chiefs but was overlooked after failing to produce his birth certificate.

In the end, Sithelo correctly identified the soulful singer, former Idols South Africa runner-up, Grammy nominee, producer and entrepreneur as the man behind the Pineapple mask.
