Buhle Madlala

Buhle Madlala is a contestant from Survivor South Africa: Champions.

After being nominated as one of the weakest Utara members by her tribe captain Mark Fish, Buhle proceeded to redeem herself by helping to score two clutch challenge wins for her tribe. Despite this, Buhle remained in the minority for much of the game, though she managed to position herself as a number for Graham Jenneker's Rugrats Alliance in the early merge. Still, Buhle scrapped her way into the endgame and won yet another two crucial Immunity Challenges, including one at the Double Elimination and the Final Immunity Challenge. However, at Final Tribal Council, Buhle's previous concerns that the Utara votes would be split between herself and Sivu Xabanisa proved to be true, and she lost to Graham in a 5-3-2 plurality jury vote.
