Okkert Brits is a contestant from Survivor South Africa: Santa Carolina.

As the strongest member of the Chibudu tribe, Okkert was unparalleled in physical challenges, which formed the basis of a heated rivalry with Timbila's leader Louw Venter. After helping Chibudu overcome a steep numerical disadvantage, Okkert's tribe entered the merge even in numbers with the former Timbilas. Despite losing the numbers at the first post-merge Tribal Council, Okkert was saved due to Izak Davel honoring his promise not to target him first. However, Okkert's number eventually came up when he was eliminated at his next Tribal Council due to his imposing status as a challenge threat.
