"Listen, it felt as if I was in primary school again. I enjoyed it so much," Shekhinah said about her experience on the show. "It felt like I was back in the theatre. Thank you for bringing me that nostalgia vibe."
Before she was unmasked, Shekhinah gave clues that her life was saved by a couple when they adopted her and friend Kyle Deutsch who helped start her career with the hit single, Back to The Beach. She also revealed that she was eliminated from the top 6 on Idols SA.
Her exit comes as the competition intensifies with only six contestants - Tree, Elephant, Lollipop, Rhino, Fox, and Lion - still in the running to claim victory.
Last week, Makhadzi was unmasked as Sunflower.
Zozibini Tunzi was also previously unmasked as Robot, Devi Sankaree Govender as Watermelon, Mmusi Maimane as Warrior, David Kau as Hippo, Bongani Bingwa as Banana, Doctor Khumalo as Soccer Ball, Victor Matfield as Rooster and The Lazy Makoti as Zebra.
