All Episodes 2006 - 2022

Tribal Council was difficult for Rana, but Jacinda was excited that her game had finally began. The atmosphere over at Aguila was positive, where their food and shelter situation was more stable. Brigitte and Sam were identified as a duo as Aguila noticed how close the two were getting since the beginning.

Danielle's switch at the previous Tribal Council surprised Aguila when she arrived at their camp on Day 13, where she explained that Sanele's evacuation led to her arrival. Her swap sparked life in Brigitte's game, as she and the tribe were getting alienated by Nico's personality around camp. Rana hoped that Danielle left with an understanding, hoping that her swap will benefit them all at the merge.

The final four Survivors battle it out for a place in the final two and the announcement of the winner comes in a live show broadcast from M-Net's studio's in Gauteng.

This season we head to Santa Carolina, an island off the coast of Mozambique in East Africa that was also called Paradise Island, now a deserted paradise.

Following a terrible start in Survivor South Africa: Santa Carolina Episode 1, Chibudu is already two people down. First, Christina lasted one whole night before deciding it was too hard, so she made up a lame excuse and quit. Then, following his challenge injury, Garth was voted out because he was barely able to walk. To make matters worse, they seem to have their next in line already picked out, having decided their “leader” Craig is useless.

Not that anybody liked him before, but the talk of Craig being useless is resurfacing. In his effort to prove he’s useful, he breaks their hook while fishing.

Gys feels threatened by Hein, who then decides to go off on his own to catch them some fish. He manages to catch 5 fish for them for breakfast. All of a sudden, their treatment of him becomes much more warm.

Timbila finds it awkward to have gotten rid of someone else other than Darren. They all say they’re mad at him because of what he said at tribal council. As if they liked him before.

Each tribe must select an ambassador to capture an opposing tribemate, who will be part of their tribe from that point forward. That person will be granted immunity for the next tribal council. They will also be able to obtain an item of value from the other team.

Nico is passing out parchments. Everybody must rate everybody else on a scale of 1-10. Afterward, they will get on stumps based on how they are ranked.

There are still two tribes, and it does not seem as if Chibudu will be doing anything to change it. It’s rare we see any tribe get Pagonged, so there’s always a chance. But if they just roll over, they may as well just leave now.

Kaseran’s not too heart broken that Louw is gone. It allows him to step up. This doesn’t sit too well with ProVerb, who views his attitude as if he’s trying to take over.

The question becomes: if Gys does go home, what are they going to eat? In the meantime, Kaseran is catching crabs, while ProVerb will try his hand at fishing.

The Live Reunion hosted in South Africa with the cast, excluding Jub Jub due to a criminal case laid upon him while the season was airing, where the winner was announced. It was revealed that the public's jury vote was awarded to Ashley. It was not enough, as GiGi was crowned Ultimate Survivor in a 6-3 vote.

The game began with the Celebrity and the Pleb castaways banished to their respective islands by Maldivian officials. There were 9 Celebrities and 10 Plebs, both groups unaware of the other's existence in the game. Settling into the conditions on their islands, the Celebrities and the Plebs were taken to reward and immunity challenges respectively, still unaware of the other challenge or group partaking in the game.

The Final Tribal Council commenced immediately following the events of the previous episode. Hykie and Letshego were given an opportunity to give opening statements to the jury.

The season was filmed in the islands amidst the South China Sea. The castaways were 20 regular citizens of South Africa, led by two team captains, former Springbok rugby captain, Corné Krige and former Bafana Bafana player, Mark Fish. The team captains compete in all the team challenges, involve themselves in tribal life, and take part in Tribal Council. However, they cannot be voted out of the game, and they cannot vote at Tribal Council. On Day 27 the team captains alongside the Jury vote for the castaway they believe is the Ultimate Survivor and the R1 million grand prize. The team captains also play for a separate prize of R500,000.00 decided by the South African public.

Tribal Council looms for the losers of the immunity challenge. The tribe captains receive private and confidential letters.

As the captains and their tribes adjust to the extreme weather conditions and lack of food, alliances are formed and betrayed. A surprise visitor could give the teams a huge advantage.

As food supplies start to run low, emotions are running high and tempers flare. A crucial error lands a tribe member in trouble at Tribal Council.

A surprise twist is announced and a broken promise has the castaways scrambling. A cricketing legend joins the captains and the tribes for the reward challenge.

Jonty Rhodes joins the game with a box of goodies for one lucky Tribe.

A Storm is coming as the two Tribes find out that there will be a Tribe shuffle.

When the Seletan tribe discovers who was voted out of Utara's last tribal council, they seek revenge. Another blindside surprises the tribes.

The Castaways battle it out for a reward that promises to refresh them. Two Sports presenters, Carol Tshabalala and Derek Alberts, lend their voices to the game.

The big day has finally arrived - the tribes are merging. But what will happen to the captains? Corné and Mark are in for a big surprise; one that could be a game-changer for the castaways.

The individual game kicks off and pre-merge alliances are under threat. At Tribal Council, the castaways are shocked to learn of the Salvation Cup and the captains' new roles. But, an even bigger revelation awaits them.

Betrayal and conflict plague the Juara tribe in the South China Sea. A single castaway's decision could destroy one of the strongest alliances and change the course of the game.

The sneaky Castaways have tasted the thrill of executing well-plotted blindsides and now they're unstoppable. They're amped to make even bolder moves in this week's Episode, but when host Nico Panagio announces at the Immunity Challenge that there will be a twist at Tribal Council, they have to reconsider their next moves.

The Contestants can smell the R1 Million prize now and they'll do anything to get their hands on it. Alliances aren't worth the handshakes that cemented them and the lies are getting bigger, bolder, and glossier.

They're hungry, tired, dirty and obsessed with becoming South Africa's new Ultimate Survivor -- and just the thought of jumping into a disgusting, foul-smelling mud pit to win a reward is something they'd rather not deal with. But once the remaining six Castaways find out what awaits the winner of this Challenge, they're more motivated than ever before.

The remaining five Survivors are experiencing the meaning of the word 'hunger' like never before. At last week's Tribal Council, ousted Altaaf took revenge by emptying his bag of rice in the fire, but it's not only the lack of food in their bellies that's leading to desperate measures. Also, this week, Captains Mark Fish and Corne Krige will also be duelling for the Salvation Cup for the last time. The outcome of this duel is extremely important for Sivu and Buhle, who know that they should use the winning Captain's right to annul one vote. They also realise that playing their secret Hidden Immunity Idol at the wrong time could be disastrous.

In the final four does a promise still carry any weight? Can a promise be broken or will fire decide the fate.

Buhle, Graham, and Sivu reflected on the game on the last day before attending the Final Tribal Council. The jury admonished Graham's lack of owning his game, due to the fact he orchestrated blindsides of two of his closest allies (Moyra and Altaaf) and for his loss of control of the game at the last two Tribal Councils to Buhle and Sivu.

After Neil's blindside, Tom furiously told off Palesa, Josie, Vusi and Ace when they celebrated by the campfire. The morning after, Tom expressed his desire to get rid of Ace for flipping on the Big 5 alliance as soon as possible. At Mindanao, PK's paranoia of an all-woman's alliance led by Jeanne and Stacey-Lee was getting on the nerves of Tevin, leaving the two women feeling on the bottom when they felt that Marthunis should there instead.

The previous Tribal Council revealed to Werner and the majority alliance that Toni had finally realized that the original Mindanao alliance is dead, and that her days are numbered without flipping people from the majority. However, the alliance still wanted Toni and PK out, with Tom as a back-up plan. Annalize was threatened by Jeanne's performances at Tribal Council despite her lack of strategic gameplay.

Jeanne came from behind to win her second immunity challenge, and the opportunity to vote out a jury member at Tribal Council. She tried to figure out whether Tom's role as social pariah throughout the game would be better to face than Annalize's favourable relationships with the entire jury.

The 13 remaining players are merged into a single tribe, Manumalo.

Despite the close vote at Tribal Council, spirits are high over allegiances in the new Manumalo.

Seipei's social game throught the camp is becoming apparent to Laetitia and Rob.

Frustrations run high with the original Laumei members, and Dante resigns himself to save his strength for the immunity challenge.
