Afrikaans icon Bobby van Jaarsveld unmasked as Mielie on Masked Singer SA
We knew we'd heard those smooth vocals before...
Bongani Bingwa chats to Bobby Van Jaarsveld, AKA 'The Mielie'.
Listen below.
Season two of The Masked Singer SA is heating up.
Much to the audience's dismay, the top eight battle saw Mielie eliminated.
But, while we were sad to see him go, everyone was on the edge of their seats trying to find out who the famous face was behind the yellow mask.
Guesses ranged from Danny K to Christopher Jafta and even Dr Smile, but in the end, it was iconic Afrikaans singer and actor Bobby Van Jaarsveld.
Shoutout to Detective J Something for hitting the nail on the head!
“It was really stressful at the beginning, but as soon as you put on the mask the world changes. You put on the mask and you become a different character.”
- Bobby Van Jaarsveld
“You try to do dance moves that I never do and will never do in my life actually and try to be weird for them not to figure me out.”
- Bobby Van Jaarsveld
