Season chronology |
Survivor South Africa: Panama is the first season of the South African reality television show Survivor South Africa , based on the international reality game show franchise Survivor . It was filmed in Panama, featuring 14 castaways competing for the grand prize of R1,000,000 prize. The season premiered on M-Net on 3 September 2006, with a live finale and reunion on November 26, 2006, where Vanessa Marawa was crowned South Africa's first Sole Survivor over Jacinda Louw by a vote of 3–2. The season was hosted by Mark Bayly, and co-produced by Endemol South Africa, and Strix (The production company that produced Expedition Robinson for Sweden).
The second season of the show, titled Survivor South Africa: Malaysia , was filmed and aired in 2007.
After the tribes merged, the first four castaways voted out of Burba were unknowingly exiled to Deadman's Island, where they would compete in a challenge for two of them to re-enter the game on Day 25 and the two to lose would be the first and second members of the jury. The twist is similar to Purgatory in Australian Survivor: Blood v. Water .
The 14 castaways were divided into two predetermined tribes of seven, the blue Aguila (Spanish for Eagle) and the red Rana (Spanish for Frog). However, due to a medical evacuation on Day 12, a voted out castaway from Rana was spared eliminated and swapped over to Aguila. Day 17 saw the remaining 7 castaways merged into the yellow Burba tribe.

The game began with two tribes of seven: Aguila and Rana. Aguila proved to be the stronger tribe initially until Sam clashed with the tribe's provider, Mzi, and two fellow tribe members quit and were medically evacuated from the game respectively. Whereas the Rana tribe struggled to find their footing until Jacinda took control with Gareth and Lezel. A medical evacuation from the Aguila tribe on Day 12 saw Rana outsider, Danielle, survive being voted out by inheriting Sanele's torch; joining Aguila as a result. However, Aguila lost their physical strength over Rana when Sanele was evacuated, which forced them to vote out Danielle and, longtime Aguila outsider, Nico, before entering the merge in the minority.
On Day 17, the Final 7 players merged to form Burba. With Jacinda leading the votes, and Gareth winning Immunity challenges, the Rana 4 alliance successfully voted out the Aguila minority. When the only Rana 4 remained, Jacinda and Gareth betrayed close ally, Lezel, to keep a physically weaker Zayn for the Final 3 Immunity challenge. However, unbeknownst to the Final 3, throughout the merge the first 4 castaways voted out of Burba were exiled to Deadman's Island. They were exiled there until Day 25 where Mzi and Vanessa, two close Aguila allies, outlasted Brigitte and Lezel to re-enter the game. Upon their return, Jacinda decided to flip on Gareth with the help of the returnees. After voting out Gareth for being a physical threat, the new Final 4 competed in two challenges to determine the Final 2 of the Season. Vanessa won the first seat on Day 28, which saw Zayn lose and enter the jury. While Jacinda beat Mzi in a lengthy challenge on Day 29 to secure the second seat next to Vanessa that night at Final Tribal Council.
The Final Tribal Council saw Jacinda confronted with leading and then betraying the very same alliance she created, while Vanessa's reserved presence thorough the season was scrutinized in relation to her ally's, Mzi, active role as Aguila and Burba's food provider. In the end, the jury appreciated Vanessa's perseverance throughout the season over Jacinda's strategic leadership, making Vanessa the first South African Sole Survivor in a 3–2 final vote.

1 | 1 | "Episode 1" | Day 1-3 | September 3, 2006 | |
Arriving in the Pearl Islands for a media briefing, 14 South Africans were divided into two tribes of 7 (Aguila in Blue and Rana in Red) and were marooned immediately in Panama.
During the challenge Rana started raiding the local village's fire station for supplies while searching for their fuel, giving Aguila a lead that they couldn't recover from. The win allowed for Aguila to have a steady shelter and fire before night. Delayed because of water conditions, Rana only arrived at Lost Island in the middle of the night, having to search for their supply chest in the dark, and without a stable temporary shelter. Sam and Mzi worked to lead Aguila through building the shelter, and using their supplies to catch fish, respectively. Mzi's efforts to provide food eventually won the tribe over, catching fish for Aguila after the Immunity challenge. Over at Rana, despite the long first night, the tribe generally worked well together in order set up their camp.
Returning from the Immunity challenge, Jacinda and Lezel felt adamant that Danielle's demeanor around camp was detrimental to the tribe to the point where everyone told her she was going to be voted out. However, Don started feeling fatigued by the island life, separating himself socially during the day before tribal council, while Danielle worked around camp. At Tribal Council, the tribe spoke about how they were adapting to island life, but needed to build unity in the tribe. While discussing about the Immunity Challenge loss, Don felt that Rana should have had a man leading instead of Jacinda. In the end, Rana were split between tribe loyalty and tribe strength, with Jacinda, Gareth, and Zayn sparing Danielle to vote out an unwell Don. | |||||
2 | 2 | "Episode 2" | Day 4-6 | September 10, 2006 | |
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.
Aguila dominated in the reward challenge, however, the celebration was short-lived while they struggled to make fire in the rain. Tensions flared with Sam losing his temper at Mzi while they were building the fire. Jude and Vanessa stepped in to put de-escalate Sam, which left him stunned at the sudden shift against him. Morale in Rana sunk after the third loss, despite giving themselves time to strategize before challenges, but they came to a consensus to elect Jacinda as their leader to organize themselves for future challenges. Their woes continued the next morning as the tribe woke up to sand flea infestation due to their shelter's location on their island.
Deciding that Zayn should pull Rana's cannon from the front once they hit the beach stretch, they managed to overtake Aguila on the beach to win their first challenge and Immunity. Their search for food slightly improved as well when Ncumisa discovered fallen fruit for the tribe on Day 6. Returning to camp, Sam felt that his temper had put a target on his back, so he tried to rally an alliance with Brigitte, Jude, and Nico to target Vanessa for challenge strength. However, Jude and Mzi saw through the duo's scheming. While Jude wanted to target Brigitte, Mzi had noticed how unified Rana was at the Immunity challenge. At Tribal Council, Mzi and Sam spoke about the rifts in Aguila, with Sam expressing how vulnerable he was after the fire-making incident. With calls for tribe unity from the majority, Aguila voted Sam to split him up from Brigitte, and to rebuild tribe morale. | |||||
3 | 3 | "Episode 3" | Day 7-8 | September 17, 2006 | |
The mood in Aguila rose as the tribe's decision to keep Mzi for his role as food provider over the combatant Sam saw tribe morale return to normal. While Rana were starving as they still struggled to make fire after a week in the game.
After losing two members in the early stages of the challenge, Sanele outpaced Gareth in the final round to win the Mosquito Net and Utility Knife for Aguila. However, the following day, Sanele and Mzi were dealing with injuries from the challenge, with the atmosphere around Aguila sinking as finding food became harder to do on their island. Frustrated after yet another loss, Rana held a meeting to debrief about the challenge. Lezel questioned Jacinda on why she was chosen to sit out, despite having experience running on sand back in South Africa, over a stockier Zayn. More misfortune arose for the tribe when the high tide took over their camp, despite Ncumisa's prior warnings. Knowing that she was on the outs of Jacinda's developing majority, Ncumisa tried to use her own bonds with Jacinda's ally, Lezel, to connect better with Gareth to protect herself if Rana lost the Immunity challenge.
Returning from a narrow loss, Jude's health started to worry the Aguila tribe as their food shortage worsened, while Sanele's injured shoulder left him concerned about future challenges ahead. Unable to decide who to vote out, Jude approached the tribe and volunteered to be voted out to preserve the tribe's strength. This resignation left Aguila unsure about what would happen at Tribal Council if Jude were to quit instead of being voted out. Attending Tribal Council, both Brigitte and Nico affirmed to Mark that Aguila felt reunited after Sam was voted out. However, Mzi implied to Mark that while the tribe was unified, there was someone who had volunteered to be voted out willingly. When Mark questioned the tribe about this development, Jude revealed to the host that she felt that her health was deteriorating quickly due to the food shortage on their island, and asked to be voted out to preserve Aguila's strength. With her admission to leave aired, Mark allowed Jude say her goodbyes and leave Tribal Council to return home. After Jude left, Mark informed Aguila that they still had to vote at Tribal Council despite her exit. Without having time to consult, Aguila blindsided Nico in a unanimous vote against him. After the vote was revealed though, Mark informed Aguila that since Jude had already left the game that evening, no-one else would leave tonight. Rather, at the next Tribal Council he attends, Nico would have a penalty vote against him as punishment for receiving the majority of tonight's vote. Stunned by the outcome of the vote, Nico returned to camp alongside the rest of the remaining Aguila. | |||||
4 | 4 | "Episode 4" | Day 9-10 | September 24, 2006 | |
Nico returned to camp furious that he was nearly voted out unanimously by the tribe, despite Aguila having no time to strategize after Jude's exit at Tribal Council. Rana's living situation continued to worsen as they were unable to make fire nine days into the game, with the women working hard to lift Gareth's morale to remain in the game.
Mzi and Nico managed to earn a large bottle of rice for Aguila; while Gareth and Lezel secured fire in the form of flint for Rana's treasure hunt, lifting their spirits immensely with their first cooked meal in over a week.
Aguila managed to take over Rana during the puzzle and won back Immunity to level the numbers again. However, returning to camp, Sanele's worsening shoulder became more real as his main ally, Mzi felt that he needed to reach out to a grudge-holding Nico, if Sanele couldn't start recovering for challenges. Ncumisa saw the writing on the wall, as Danielle had managed to build trust with Jacinda much more easily than she had. However, Lezel herself was undecided whether to align with the Rana leader and Gareth, or stick with Ncumisa and Zayn, whom she trusted more. At Tribal Council, the entire tribe praised Jacinda's leadership, reflecting that the vote came down to the relationships formed since their last Tribal Council. In the end, Lezel decided to work alongside Jacinda's leadership, and helped vote Ncumisa out of the game. | |||||
5 | 5 | "Episode 5" | Day 11-12 | October 1, 2006 | |
Zayn was left blindsided by the vote, leaving Gareth concerned as he expressed that he'd flip on Rana if given the opportunity as he had no loyalties in the tribe. While Nico kept clashing with the rest of Aguila, after Brigitte had stolen his cigarettes to keep focus on him. Mzi had lost the tribe's fishing hook, but managed to fashion a makeshift hook from one of the women's accessories to maintain his role as food provider.
After being told that they nearly had the answer in the first round, Rana were left frustrated and bickering among themselves after yet another challenge loss. With their camp life woes continuing as the sand flies and crabs under their shelter continued to attack them in their shelter. After staying up all night in pain due to his persistent shoulder injury, Day 12 saw Sanele be evacuated from the Aguila beach by the Medical team to assess his arm. An unconvinced Aguila were weary of his return to the tribe. Sanele's evacuation left Mzi to consider the possibility of aligning with Nico, despite his eccentric behavior clashing with the women on Aguila.
Lezel struggled for Rana, only managing to enter her tribe's chambers shortly before Aguila managed to escape and win the challenge. Leaving Rana devastated and frustrated that they couldn't even beat a demoralized Aguila. Returning to their beach, Lezel, despite feeling responsible for the loss, approached Gareth about finally voting out Danielle. As she wanted to keep her trio with Gareth and Jacinda intact. At tribal council, Mark questioned Rana about Jacinda's leadership given their challenge record, but the entire tribe backed Jacinda's adaptable role for the tribe. In the vote, Lezel managed to keep her friend, Zayn, over Danielle. However, as Danielle had her torch extinguished, Mark summoned Sanele to Tribal Council. Reminding the tribe that Sanele had been medically evacuated that morning, Mark informed Rana that Sanele had been officially pulled from the game; creating a unique situation where he was out, yet his torch remained lit. Mark instructed Danielle to drop her buff, and claim Sanele's and his torch. Because of his evacuation, the person voted out at this Tribal Council would take his place in the game; leaving a stunned Rana watching a relieved Danielle leave Tribal Council to join an unsuspecting Aguila. | |||||
6 | 6 | "Episode 6" | Day 13-14 | October 8, 2006 | |
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.
With Nico's motivation throughout the challenge, and a strategic timeout, Aguila caught up an exhausted Zayn to win reward, with Danielle feeling vindicated for the blindside that Gareth and Lezel did to her. Yet another loss exasperated Gareth's frustrations with Rana's lack of competitive spirit in challenges. Both Nico and Mzi started to notice how quickly Danielle was gravitating towards Brigitte and Vanessa, causing concerns of Aguila remaining intact for the merge.
The win left Zayn relieved, as he was aware that he was outside of the trio leading Rana, while Nico was left concerned that Aguila were going to keep Danielle over him. Mzi approached Brigitte about keeping Nico over Danielle in fear of losing another Immunity challenge before the merge, but Brigitte and Danielle noted Nico's lack of trust in Aguila. Vanessa was left undecided as she wanted to work with the women while maintaining numbers, but worried that if Mzi was the only man left, the tribe will lose more challenges before merge. At Tribal Council, Nico informed Mark that he felt the tribe never discussed strategy about Tribal Council to him. While Danielle acknowledged that she couldn't step into Sanele's shoes after his evacuation; she wanted to put her best foot forward for the Aguila tribe moving on. Despite receiving a penalty vote from the Tribal Council where Jude quit the game, Nico managed to survive Tribal Council where Brigitte and Vanessa chose original tribal loyalties over a new ally; finishing what Rana started by sending Danielle home. |
