Santoni Engelbrecht - Bio
SurvivorSA 8 logo  SA: Immunity Island bio

Official SurvivorSA: Immunity Island bio, from News24.com (5/2/21):

"For online business owner Santoni Engelbrecht (39) from Strand, it's a case of '4th time's the charm,' as she finally got her wish of becoming a SurvivorSA castaway after three previous attempts. 'I love the dynamics of the show and always wanted to enter. I'm such a  "non-Survivor-looking person" and I wanted to show people that anything is possible if you put your mind to it,' she says."
