Khanya Mkangisa and Mpande Buthelezi become the final team to be eliminated on #TIOT8

Khanya Mkangisa and Mpande Buthelezi

In the last elimination of the season, Khanya Mkangisa and Mpande Buthelezi (#TeamWhite) are the latest duo who had to say goodbye to the Maldives, and, to their shot at the R1 million prize.

#TeamWhite are no strangers to elimination challenges and have surprised competitors and fans alike on numerous occasions throughout the season as they’ve come out on top every elimination challenge they found themselves in. In the final elimination challenge which aired last night, they unfortunately could not keep up the momentum. This makes them the fifth team to be eliminated, leaving Nay Maps & Rudi Witkowsky (#TeamYellow) and Brendan Peyper & Lisanne Lazarus (#TeamRed) to go head to head in next weeks’ big finale of #TIOT8.

To find out who walks away with that coveted R1 million prize, tune in to the Tropika Island of Treasure season 8 finale on SABC3 at 19:30 on Monday 30 April 2018.

Q&A with Khanya Mkangisa and Mpande Buthelezi shortly after being eliminated:

What did you learn most about yourself throughout the competition?

Khanya Mkangisa: My time on Tropika Island of Treasure was incredible and it gave me the opportunity to physically see what I have always known to be true about myself. I learnt that I am strong and that I can endure anything. It was an experience I will never forget.

Mpande Buthelezi: I learnt that perseverance goes a long way. Something that surprised me the most was the determination I (and my partner) had. #TeamWhite were in quite a few elimination challenges throughout the season, but we fought hard and made it through them all – until now!

Where do you think you could have improved?

Khanya Mkangisa: It was no secret that #TeamWhite were the underdogs and no one expected us to get this far in the competition. Although we did well, there is always room for improvement. I probably could’ve been more patient with my partner and handled situations better under pressure.

Mpande Buthelezi: I definitely could have improved on my communication skills. When I was busy with a challenge and in an intense mode of focus, I didn’t communicate much (especially as much as I should have); I just kept quiet and got on with the challenge at hand. But I’ve started working on that.
