Noleen "Pinty" Nkanjeni is a contestant from Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island and Survivor South Africa: Return of the Outcasts.
During her short time on Immunity Island, Pinty was the head of one of two warring alliances on the Vuna tribe, but her abrasive personality pushed away potential allies, leading to her self-inflicted blindside on Day 6.
Pinty's short fuse persisted into Return of the Outcasts, where her personality once again aggravated her tribemates, and her habit of hoarding food became the catalyst for numerous quarrels both on her original Yontau tribe and on her new Masu tribe. Unable to overlook her indiscretions, the original Masu members neutralized the Yontaus' numerical advantage and swung Killarney Jones onto their side to blindside Pinty.

Freelancer Noleen Nkanjeni (30), better known as 'Pinty', loves learning how to do new things and to go beyond her limits. "That's why I like to think of myself as a 'Janet of all trades' who knows a little more than just a little about many different things," says Pinty. "Meeting new people and having meaningful, honest interactions is one of my favourite things".
Name: Pinty Nkanjeni
Previous season: Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island S8
Age: 30
Hometown: Cape Town
Pinty Nkanjeni grew up in the small rural town of Hogsback in the Eastern Cape, a magical town in the Amathole Mountains. After leaving school at 15, she moved to Cape Town and built herself up from scratch, receiving a scholarship to study UX design as well as getting a divemaster certification.
After her work as a Rope Access Technician was interrupted by lockdown, she got involved with a non-profit organisation that aims to unite hospitality businesses with healthcare workers at the frontline of the fight against Covid-19 to help them stay closer to where they are working – work in which she has found a lot of meaning.
She feels she has grown a lot in the few months since her season of Survivor SA, growing more self-aware and identifying and addressing her character flaws. She had a strong work ethic around camp and was equally valuable in challenges, but her lack of social finesse and confrontational behaviour tripped up her game.[1]Survivor South Africa[]
