Nothing Unites Like a Common Enemy is the season premiere of Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island.

Challenges

• Reward/Immunity
• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: One for All
The castaways would have two minutes to grab as many items as possible and return them to their mat. Additionally, two Immunity Necklaces, one for each tribe, would be available for castaways to collect, granting them immunity at their first Tribal Council. Additionally, a Tribe Advantage was hidden amongst the items, allowing the finder's tribe to earn additional supplies.
Reward: Items collected during the challenge; the tribe that holds the Tribe Advantage will also receive a sleeping bag, mosquito net, a foam mattress, a blow-up mattress, axe, and switch-blade knife (Renier Louwrens found the Tribe Advantage, earning Zamba the additional supplies.)
Immunity Winner(s): Dino Paulo (Vuna's necklace went unclaimed.)

Challenge: Fired Up
Each tribe would nominate one member of their tribe to represent them in the challenge. The two castaways would compete in a fire-making competition. The first castaway to create a fire high enough burn their rope, raising their flag, wins.
Reward: Fire-making kit and dry wood.
Winner: Vuna

Challenge: Great Escape Run
Five members from each tribe will individually race into the water to retrieve a set of rope rungs tied to one of five buoys. Once they have all of the rungs, two members of the tribe will use them to create a ladder to the first level of an elevated structure. Once all members are up on the first level, one member will need to solve a rope puzzle, releasing more rungs, allowing them to create a ladder to the second level. On the top of the structure, two members will need to solve a puzzle. The first tribe to complete their puzzle wins.
Winner: Vuna (sent Thoriso M-Afrika to Immunity Island)

Voting Confessionals

Anela's confessional was shown during Jason's final words.

Jason “ (voting against Qieän) Qieän girl, um, it pains me to write your name, but a name needs to be written down and I really hope we can be friends after this. ” Amy “ (voting against Jason) Jason, I'm so sorry. You're such a nice guy and I really wanted to get to know you a bit better, but unfortunately I think you put a target on my back at some point so, um, this is my vote for you. ” Marisha “ (voting against Jason) Jason, I'm very sorry. ” Nicole “ (voting against Jason) This is not an easy vote. I'm sorry Jason. I hope we can laugh about this one day over a piece of chocolate mousse cake. ” Shaun “ (voting against Qieän) Unfortunately, it's either you or me tonight, um, and I'd rather stay in the game. I'm so sorry. ” Anela “ (voting against Jason) You played it a little bit too hard and too fast too quickly for me and unfortunately I couldn't follow you down that rabbit hole. ” Qiean “ (voting against Jason) You said that you trusted Shaun so you trust me. That is such a lie. ” Renier “ (voting against Jason) I gave it my best shot, but it wasn't enough. I'm not good at going home. Swinging trying. ” Dino “ (voting against Jason) You've been way too calm this Tribal Council considering the amount of information that's been going around. My gut has been saying you aren't the one going home, but I'm writing your name down anyway cause I've got to put my vote to somewhere. Um, but I have absolutely no idea what's going on. It's a little cradle beside the sea. For all I know, it could still be me, it could even be Nico. Um, but, um, yeah, you're a great guy otherwise and, uh, yeah. ”

Final Words

	Jason	“	I am gutted, honestly, I am gutted because I expected myself to go a bit further, but obviously my tribe saw a threat. Seeing my name on that parchment is so scary because you think you're going in with a certain idea and plan and it turns out differently. If I could replay the last 3 days differently, I would've not gone searching for as much information as I could because at the end of the day, that did burn my fingers and it sucks, but it was an amazing adventure.	”
