David de Wet is a contestant from Survivor South Africa: Champions.

David was targeted by his tribemates for much of the game, but managed to survive several Tribal Councils despite being on the chopping block. Following the tribe switch, David managed to survive by becoming a number for the Utara Alliance. After the merge, David reintegrated with the Rugrats and flew under-the-radar all the way to the final four. Realizing he stood no shot with the jury, he offered himself to be voted out, but Buhle Madlala had different plans and forced a tie between him and Sivu Xabanisa. David then lost the following fire-making challenge and became the final member of the jury.

David is Survivor SA's oldest contestant to date – but he's not your average 'old toppie'. The 53 year-old motor-mouth, who shoes race horses and show horses for a living, is a teetotaller who loves Goth music. David, who has never been married, is also an avid reader, favouring books about History and Neurology.
