Official M-Net SurvivorSA: Philippines bio (May, 2018):
"PK is a mining technician who viewers will recognise because of his signature South African flag that he carries with him at all times. PK is in great physical shape due to his experience as an MMA fighter but underneath this competitive appearance is a player who is a strategic thinker too.
If analytical thinking is his strength, PK also admits that his biggest weakness in the gruelling game of Survivor will be his tendency to overthink things. With paranoia being a common feature for Survivor players across the board, how will someone like PK be able to overcome this?"
Official SurvivorSA: Return of the Outcasts M-Net bio (6/5/22):
"Ambitious, driven mining engineer PK Phetoe has been living and working in Lephalale in Limpopo for the past two years. He grew up in Mafikeng and lived with his mother in Centurion for most of his teenage and young adult life.
PK has ambitions of starting his own mining consultancy company one day. He also wants to contribute to society and give something back. His job requires him to problem solve, adapt, and prioritise his actions to optimise outcomes – skills he wants to bring to the game of Survivor.
Having originally thought Survivor SA was all about playing a strong physical game, his experience taught him the importance of the social side, which he splits into two parts: social for friendship and loyalty for political gain. Aiming to make people feel more comfortable around him this time, he’ll be looking to trust sooner to allow relationships to mature, to allow him to build a stronger alliance, earlier in the game. "
