Challenges[]
Challenge: Spinning Tops[1]
Three tribe members will sit on an individual spindle. A fourth tribe member will pull on a rope wrapped around their first tribemate's spindle and run until the rope is uncoiled, after which they will run back and sit on a fourth spindle. Once the rope is unspooled, it will unhide a number on the body of the spindle. The tribe member whose spindle was unspooled will memorize that number, pull the rope on the second tribemate's spindle, and race to a puzzle board at the end, where they will input the number they have memorized. This repeats until all four spindles have been unspooled. The fourth tribe member will then cross a balance beam, paying attention to the mathematical symbols on the beam. They will relay the symbols to the first tribe member, who will solve an equation based on the memorized numbers. The first person to solve the equation wins for their tribe.
Reward: Luxury Items.
Winner: Goma
Challenge: Recall the Feast[2]
The contestants will answer a series of trivia questions pertaining to the Maldives, past challenges, their fellow contestants, and general facts about Survivor South Africa. If a contestant answers a question correctly, they will slot a rung into their ladder, which they will climb up four stories of a tower. There are fewer positions than contestants on each successive story, so only the first few contestants to place a set number of rungs can move on. The first person to reach the top story wins.
Winner: Letshego Moshoeu

Final Words[]
Simon |
“ | I'm feeling pretty disappointed, but I understand at the same time. If I was in their position, I would've done the same move. Um, I have to respect it. If they hadn't had taken me out right now, I would have come back and bitten them hard. So, it was the right move, I would've made it, and I respect it. | ” |
