The world\u2019s greatest game returns to M-Net on Monday 18 July with plenty of familiar faces as 20 former Castaways return to right wrongs on Survivor South Africa: Return of the Outcasts<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in the game are a mixture of strategists, schemers, risk-takers and record-breakers from five previous Survivor South Africa<\/em> seasons who\u2019ll do anything to avoid having their torches snuffed for a second time, over a bumper four episodes a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t an \u2018All Stars\u2019 season \u2013 in fact, it\u2019s a totally unique concept,\u201d says Executive & Creative Producer Leroux Botha. \u201cAll of the Castaways returning to the game this season have demons to lay to rest, with the added challenge of everyone knowing exactly how everyone else played their game, before\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M-Net\u2019sSenior Manager: Marketing and PR, Shireez Latiefsays that the four episode per week schedule will give Survivor SA superfans the chance to feast on what is set to be some stellar game play. \u201cHaving four hours a week to explore the full intricacy of the game is going to lay bare every machination,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s also a great way for newcomers to the magic of Survivor SA<\/em> to get to know these returning Castaways and appreciate why they\u2019re such masters of the game\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are your 20 returning outcasts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name:<\/strong> Chappies Chapman
Previous Season: <\/strong>Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island (S8)
Age:<\/strong> 31
Hometown:<\/strong> Centurion
Job Description:<\/strong> Entrepreneur<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Chappies is \u2018addicted to growth\u2019 and has a strong strive to improve in all aspects of his life, most notably in fitness, which he takes very seriously. He lives in Centurion with his wife and son and is involved in various online businesses, real estate and in the motivational speaking space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since becoming a father, Chappies has a renewed lease on life and is in constant pursuit of purpose. He is calmer and more at peace than before, partly due to his son\u2019s arrival \u2013 but also because no longer feels the need to prove his worth as a Survivor player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From his previous experience, he learnt to think before he speaks, to avoid alienating people. That was his pattern at the start of his season \u2013 which ultimately put him on the back foot because he couldn\u2019t reconcile with them when he needed to work with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name: <\/strong>Dant\u00e9 de Villiers
Previous Season: <\/strong>Survivor South Africa: Island of Secrets (S7)
Age: <\/strong>31
Hometown: <\/strong>Dwarskersbos
Job Description:<\/strong> Podcaster<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Loner Dant\u00e9 has travelled the world, living in Thailand and Israel \u2013 but has now returned home to the Cape West Coast, where he grew up. The outdoorsy ocean lover believes he can provide for his tribe and excel in the physical challenges \u2013 putting him in a winning position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having previously owned and operated a coffee shop in Velddrif, he now hosts a podcast dedicated to interesting outlier personalities who are making a difference in the world, however big or small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his previous season, he felt like he didn\u2019t have the words to convince people to believe him. That meant he struggled to befriend other Castaways, putting him on the back foot and forcing him to play a defensive game. This time, he\u2019ll be looking to give himself more personal time and space in the early mornings, so that he can recharge to participate more in the social game at camp, during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name: <\/strong>Dino Paulo
Previous Season: <\/strong>Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island (S8)
Age: <\/strong>31
Hometown: <\/strong>Johannesburg
Job Description:<\/strong> Live Escape Game Owner<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Charming and likeable Dino\u2019s infectious, child-like enthusiasm belies a powerful tenacity. He has been in a relationship with his lawyer girlfriend – now fianc\u00e9 – Kirsten for 11 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An escape game franchise co-owner, he was forced to pivot during lockdown like so many South Africans and successfully took the concept online. His work is a perfect match for his competitive nature, which has also made him the perfect team player in sports like soccer and rowing \u2013 while skydiving fuels his insatiable need for adrenaline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From his previous Survivor experience, he has learned to rely more on his game knowledge and instinct and to curb his paranoia. He feels that since he has nothing to lose, there\u2019s less pressure on him this time around \u2013 so he\u2019ll be playing with more freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name:<\/strong> Felix Godlo
Previous Season:<\/strong> Survivor South Africa: Island of Secrets (S7)
Age:<\/strong> 32
Hometown:<\/strong> Pretoria
Job Description:<\/strong> Key Account Manager<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A proud Xhosa man from a very traditional family, Felix is married with two children and is devoted to being a good father and role model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A natural leader and great sportsperson, his mission in life is to succeed to provide for his family and make them proud of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having been humbled by his early exit in his previous season, he did a lot of introspection and has grown, personally. He feels that he had a strategy for the game but didn\u2019t execute it because he wasn\u2019t in the right state of mind to play the game. Suppressing his natural leadership instincts led to him growing frustrated and acting out of character \u2013 so this time he\u2019s aiming to communicate better and working on connecting with his fellow Castaways on a deeper level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name: <\/strong>Killarney Jones
Previous Season:<\/strong> Survivor South Africa: Champions (S5)
Age: <\/strong>51
Hometown: <\/strong>Johannesburg
Job Description:<\/strong> Martial Artist<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Killarney has competed in martial arts internationally from a young age and has black belts in various disciplines. She’s climbed Kilimanjaro and has a degree in Fine Arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She grew up in a tight-knit family who travelled extensively throughout Africa. Killarney is tough & talkative, determined & dedicated and will fight to the bitter end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she competed in her previous season, she didn\u2019t understand the game well and expected to power through on the back of her physical prowess \u2013 and was duly brought down by her neglect of the social and strategic aspects of the game. This time around, she understands the concept better and will still be looking to compete physically but will be bringing a softer touch to the social side of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name: <\/strong>Marian de Vos
Previous Season: <\/strong>Survivor South Africa: Champions (S5)
Age: <\/strong>32
Hometown: <\/strong>Cape Town
Job Description:<\/strong> Fashion Buyer<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Marian studied Fashion at the College of Fashion Design in Cape Town and now works as a buyer in the retail industry. She grew up in a big family and is the youngest of 5 siblings<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marian is probably the biggest Survivor fan in South Africa. She\u2019s followed each season closely and has been a particularly vocal commentator about the show, online. She knows the game inside and out, but still struggled on her season when the addition of Captains put her off her game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite that, she still made her mark on the game as Survivor SA\u2019s first true female villain \u2013 confident that she had a better grasp of the game than her fellow castaways and was more astute than them. Her biggest challenge this season will be adapting to the way the game has changed in the 8 years since she played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name: <\/strong>Meryl Szolkiewicz
Previous Season: <\/strong>Survivor South Africa: Island of Secrets (S7)
Age: <\/strong>31
Hometown:<\/strong> Centurion
Job Description:<\/strong> Holistic Movement Coach<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Meryl studied toward a musical theatre degree and started her career as a musician and performer, but that fell away after she met and married her husband, and they had their three sons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She saw her chance to appear on her season of Survivor SA as a chance to hit the reset button \u2013 which she duly did, rediscovering her strength and a newfound joy that has permeated all aspects of her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is a big Survivor fan but understood after her season that she is not the biggest \u2013 despite Survivor being an institution in her household. This time around, she\u2019s looking to play a more rooted game, be careful with her empathetic nature \u2013 and just have fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name:<\/strong> Palesa Tau
Previous Season: <\/strong>Survivor South Africa: Philippines (S6)
Age:<\/strong> 31
Hometown: <\/strong>Johannesburg
Job Description:<\/strong> Radio Presenter \/ Producer<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Palesa works as a radio presenter and producer, hosting her own health talk show and is also a voice-over artist. She comes from a close-knit family and spends a lot of time with her sister and mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her appearance on Survivor South Africa: Philippines boosted her confidence personally and professionally, seeing her nominated for a number of radio industry awards over the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palesa came into her season of Survivor South Africa without much knowledge of the game \u2013 with no pre-determined strategy, preferring to play instinctively. This time around, she\u2019s aiming to be more social and try to be more intentional and proactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name:<\/strong> Phil Dickson
Previous Season:<\/strong> Survivor SA: Champions (S5)
Age:<\/strong> 40
Hometown:<\/strong> Johannesburg
Job Description:<\/strong> Risk Assessment Manager<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Phil is a firefighter and paramedic, originally from KZN, but now working as a fire risk assessment manager in Johannesburg. He has two young children with his wife. Before graduating in the Top 5 of his firefighting class, Phil lived in the USA for a while, where he was part of a popular church band. He counts fishing, running, and training among his hobbies and studied game theory to prepare for Survivor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phil is a likeable guy with a mischievous streak. Although he is now a dedicated husband and father, he still resembles that naughty trickster he was more than a decade ago in Survivor SA: Champions.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phil says that you cannot compare the Survivor game of S5 to the current version of it. He feels that on previous seasons, the Castaways had a lot to learn about game play \u2013 which meant he was unprepared for the game and struggled at first to adapt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name: <\/strong>Pinty Nkanjeni
Previous Season: <\/strong>Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island (S8)
Age:<\/strong> 30
Hometown:<\/strong> Cape Town
Job Description:<\/strong> Yacht Crew Member<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Pinty grew up in the small rural town of Hogsback in the Eastern Cape, a magical town in the Amathole Mountains. After leaving school at 15, she moved to Cape Town and built herself up from scratch, receiving a scholarship to study UX design as well as getting her Divemaster certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After her work as a Rope Access Technician was interrupted by lockdown, she got involved with a NPO that aims to unite hospitality businesses with healthcare workers at the frontline of the fight against Covid-19 to help them stay closer to where they are working \u2013 work in which she has found a lot of meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She feels she has grown a lot in the few months since her season of Survivor, growing more self-aware and identifying and addressing her character flaws. She had a strong work ethic around camp and was equally valuable in challenges, but her lack of social finesse and confrontational behaviour tripped up her game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name:<\/strong> PK Phetoe
Previous Season: <\/strong>Survivor South Africa: Philippines (S6)
Age:<\/strong> 29
Hometown: <\/strong>Lephalale
Job Description:<\/strong> Mining Engineer<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Ambitious, driven mining engineer PK has been living and working in Lephalale in Limpopo for the past 2 years. He grew up in Mafikeng and lived with his mother in Centurion most of his teenage and young adult life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PK has ambitions of starting his own mining consultancy company one day. He also wants to contribute to society and give something back. His job requires him to problem solve, adapt, and prioritize his actions to optimize outcomes. \u2013 skills he wants to bring to the game of Survivor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having originally thought Survivor was all about playing a strong physical game, his experience taught him the importance of the social side, which he splits into two parts: social for friendship and loyalty for political gain. Aiming to make people feel more comfortable around him this time, he\u2019ll be looking to trust sooner to allow relationships to mature, to allow him to build a stronger alliance, earlier in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name:<\/strong> Seamus Lind Holmes
Season:<\/strong> Survivor South Africa: Philippines (S6)
Age:<\/strong> 29
Hometown:<\/strong> Durban
Job Description:<\/strong> Sales Manager<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Seamus is a Durbanite who works as the regional Sales Manager of a commercial trucking equipment company. He channels his competitive nature into excelling at endurance sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is a massive Survivor fan – he has researched the game, strategies, heroes, villains, and the game\u2019s evolution over the years. He watches Survivor religiously with his mother and sees this as a big bonding experience for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding that he played too hard, too fast in the Philippines, which meant he didn\u2019t pay enough attention to his tribemates and how they were approaching the game. Seamus feels he has matured tremendously since his season and is in a far better mental space than before. With a second shot, he is determined to play the biggest game Survivor has ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name:<\/strong> Shane Hattingh
Previous Season: <\/strong>Survivor South Africa: Champions (S5)
Age: <\/strong>50
Hometown: <\/strong>Cape Town
Job Description:<\/strong> Set Decorator<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Shane has lived a very interesting, colourful, sometimes dangerous life. He has spent several years working in military counterintelligence, been a shoe designer, an outdoor advertising salesman, worked in the Art department in the film industry and is currently a set dresser on an international reality show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has four children and admires their independence, critical thinking, rejection of societal norms and labels and proudly lists their achievements. He despises injustice, social prejudice, racism and exploitation of the vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having felt in control of the game in his season, he became complacent and allowed himself to get played. Losing out and being blindsided with idols in his pocket was a massive blow \u2013 and a mistake he won\u2019t make again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name: <\/strong>Shona MacDonald
Previous Season:<\/strong> Survivor South Africa: Champions (S5)
Age: <\/strong>33
Hometown: <\/strong>Cape Town
Job Description:<\/strong> Entrepreneur<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Shona is a successful, self-starting entrepreneur with a lingerie and swimwear brand she has been running for the last couple of years. She is also developing a new dating app and has been accepted to take this further at a tech incubator in South America this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She successfully pitched her business idea on Shark Tank and secured the investment she needed to boost her business when 3 of the 5 Sharks offered her capital. She is very proud of this moment, as she feels like she was seen as a strong, confident businesswoman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shona wants to make a difference in the world and advocates for body-positivity, independence and flying the South African flag. She feels it is her purpose and study to contribute to SA, its economy, and its people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During her previous season, she was overwhelmed and struggled to make connections, with her self-awareness and insecurity taking over. Despite her strengths as a social player, being called out by her captain as a weak physical player set her game back in a way that she found she couldn\u2019t come back from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name:<\/strong> Steffi Brink
Previous Season:<\/strong> Survivor South Africa: Island of Secrets (S7)
Age: <\/strong>30
Hometown:<\/strong> Johannesburg
Job Description:<\/strong> Fitness Coach & Model<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Steffi is a former \u2018beauty queen\u2019 – but she\u2019s not your typical pageant princess. A self-proclaimed \u2018jock\u2019, he has a long history of excelling in the sporting arena, too, making her a formidable Castaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After her appearance on Survivor South Africa: Island of Secrets<\/em>, Steffi was called up to a training camp with the \u2018Blitzbokkies\u2019 \u2013 the SA Women\u2019s 7\u2019s Rugby team \u2013 but seriously injured her knee and had a long road to recovery<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s learned her lesson from her season and will be working harder on the social side of her game, this time around. She also struggled with the scrutiny of Tribal Council and so has worked hard on speaking up when she believes she needs to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name: <\/strong>Tania Copeland
Previous Season:<\/strong> Survivor South Africa: Island of Secrets (S7)
Age:<\/strong> 53
Hometown:<\/strong> Paternoster
Job Description:<\/strong> Retired<\/p>\n\n\n

Colourful Tania lives life on her own terms. Born in South Africa before relocating to the UK \u2013 and then returning when she was 21 \u2013 the now-retired business owner lives a quiet life on the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An avid rock-climber, she doesn\u2019t let society\u2019s rules and restrictions constrain her any less than she does, gravity. She has a strong bond with her children \u2013 3 biological and some fostered \u2013 and her five dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She learnt a lot about herself and the game of Survivor in her season and is thrilled to get the chance to implement those learnings now. Whereas she spent a lot of time off on her own looking for Idols before, she plans to now spend more time with her tribemates. Tania is determined to win by aligning herself with the strong players and making herself valuable \u2013 at camp and as a vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He says he lives and loves life, considering himself something of a Renaisssance man and jack of all trades who enjoy the simple things in life. Tejan is in the best physical shape of his life and has trained hard for this moment to return to Survivor. He has a black belt in karate, a final brown in kickboxing and did some cage fighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He took pride in his status as one of Survivor SA\u2019s early villains, getting a lot of validation from being part of the world\u2019s greatest game. He\u2019s accepted his \u2018Survivor Conniver\u2019 nickname and embraced the fact that his play made him a Castaway to be reckoned with. He\u2019ll be keeping a keen eye out to see who he can trust \u2013 but doesn\u2019t plan to give his trust away cheaply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tevin had already won the \u2018Mr. India South Africa\u2019 title when he was 18 and was a presenter on Eastern Mosaic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a misguided social media post in the lead up to the Survivor South Africa: Philippines<\/em> season finale saw him personally and professionally ostracised, he retreated to do some serious introspection and has matured since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He and his Mom have watched Survivor together since he was 7 \u2013 he calls himself a \u2018Survivor Encyclopaedia\u2019.

Marketing Manager Thoriso is the single mother of a son named Bulumko, meaning \u2018wisdom\u2019 in Xhosa. His name is a reflection of the high regard in which she holds education and the application of intellect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As much as she\u2019s a huge Survivor fan, her main aim for entering the game is to win the Sole Survivor\u2019s prize money, to improve her financial situation. Last time around, she felt she had the \u2018moves\u2019 but not the social currency, playing herself out of the game. Now, she\u2019s looking to play a more social game – even if it means pretending to like people. Thoriso says that meeting people who were smarter than her was a huge blow to her ego, which led to plenty of introspection \u2013 the lessons from which she\u2019s bringing back to the game at her second attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She feels she made too many emotional choices in her season, rather than listening to her gut.
