Tropika Island of Treasure is returning for a 10th season to SABC3 with Anga Makubalo as the host and a set of returning celebrity contestants in an "All Stars" season, similar to M-Net's upcoming 9th season of Survivor South Africa.
Tropika Island of Treasure: All Stars, an advertiser-funded production (AFP) from Clover once again produced by Cardova Productions, had a media launch event last week in Hyde Park, Johannesburg.
Anga Makubalo, also known as NaakMusiq, will be the host of the new season of Tropika Island of Treasure: All Stars that will film in mid-2022 with a likely broadcast date on SABC3 between September and December.
He won the 7th season which was set in the Seychelles. "Bringing back a past winner returning as the host is a smooth way to celebrate the past winners of the show," says Miantha Roux, Clover beverages marketing manager, in a statement.
"We are excited to be bringing back Tropika Island of Treasure after a year-long Covid-19 hiatus. This 10th season we hope will be smoother than any other with a celebration consisting of returning All Star contestants taking their dreams once again to paradise."
Anga Makubalo also recorded the new theme song for the 10th season, and it will be released soon as a download.
"I'm really looking forward to hosting this All Stars season. Tropika Island of Treasure has had incredible hosts in the past and I can only be excited to be part of that tapestry in the celebration of 10 seasons," says Anga Makubalo.
"Most of all, I'm excited to observe the All Stars celebrities and new contestants that will feature in this new season, competing to unlock the treasure."
Tropika Island of Treasure: All Stars is currently waiting for entries with people who can send an audition video on whatsapp to 082 857 8054 in April and May.
During the second phase between September to December 2022, Tropika Island of Treasure: All Stars will be broadcast on SABC3 with 9 celebrities and the chosen contestants competing in a series of captivating challenges somewhere on an island.
"The show will be bigger and better, and we promise our viewers and consumers adrenaline-filled fun and entertainment with nail-biting and exciting challenges," says Barbara George,
Tropika senior brand manager.
