Season chronology | |
This season featured 20 contestants being led by two of South Africa's sporting champions while competing for 27 days. The champions joining the 20 contestants were former Springbok rugby captain Corné Krige and former Bafana Bafana player Mark Fish. As tribe captains, they drafted the two initial tribes, competed in all the team challenges pre-merge, involved themselves in tribal life, and attended Tribal Council. However, they could not vote or be voted for at Tribal Council. Once the tribes merged, the Champions were removed from the islands and placed on the jury, where they must compete in duels for the Salvation Cup, which the winning captain can use to negate a single vote at Tribal Council. The captains attended the final Tribal Council and cast a vote for the Ultimate Survivor. The champions also competed for a separate prize of R 500,000 Rand, as decided by a vote from the South African viewing audience.
On May 18, 2014, Graham Jenneker was voted the "Ultimate Survivor" in a 5-3-2 jury vote over runner-up Buhle Madlala and 2nd runner-up Sivu Xabanisa. It was also announced that Corné Krige was the winning captain after eight weeks of public voting.
