Survivor South Africa: Island of Secrets is the seventh season of Survivor South Africa. This season saw the introduction of the eponymous Island of Secrets, a variant of Exile Island that bestowed game-changing powers to its visitors. The season generally proceeded in a straightforward manner, with one player, Rob Bentele, controlling the entire post-merge game with little effective resistance. Despite this, the cast of fiery personalities provided the kindling for much tension, with many of the in-game conflicts centred around the brash temperament of Danté De Villiers, the ostracism of Jacques Burger at the final eight, and the criticism directed at the majority alliance's sanctimonious gameplay. In the end, Rob defeated his allies Nicole Capper and Durão Mariano in a 6-4-0 jury vote to become the seventh Sole Survivor.
