I am a content creator and I dream big. What is important about this project is that it will employ people in the industry. I am talking about camera people, lighting, sound, make-up and styling.

VERY BIG ON FAMILY' Mdoda said The Masked Singer reminded her of her radio show, Breakfast Club, on 947.

I am very big on family and I come from a big family. I remember when we still had shows like Mind Your Language and Small Talk on television. Those two shows brought us together and it did not matter whether my mother or my sister was moody.

When it was time for those shows we sat together and laughed. I just want to bring those family moments back. We hope to also broadcast in one of the Nguni languages because it is a big audience.
