The 10th season of Tropika Island of Treasure: All Stars on SABC3 is once again heading to the Seychelles with the competitors who will once again be staying in the Constance Ephelia beachside resort on the Mahé island.
Anga Makubalo is the host with the new "all-stars" season of the advertiser-funded production (AFP) from Clover, once again produced by Cardova Productions, which has a set of returning celebrity contestants, paired with 18 South Africans who have been chosen out of the entries received to be on the show.
Island of Treasure used the Seychelles for the 7th season in which Anga Makubalo, known as NaakMusiq, won.
For the upcoming 10th season the celebrity contestants are Kelly Khumalo, Nay Maps, Sashi Naaido, Brendan Peyper, Maurice Paige, Roxy Louw, Jonathan Boynton-Lee, Karlien van Jaarsveld and Khanya Mkangisa.
Eighteen contestants have been announced, including the 27-year old fitness trainer Simphiwe; model and middle-weight boxer Tayne; Lerecia; model and actor Dain; the international model scout and trainer Bianca; Olympic athlete Alyssa; actor Zweli Dube; content creator Sria and journalism graduate Melo.
Also included are fitness fanatic Jae; model Ruan; third-year law student Taryl; model Neena; fitness junkie Liardus; and Shonisani who has two masters degrees. The contestants also include the former pro-rugby player turned private trainer Ofentse Boloko; boot camp instructor Lenani; and fitness content creator Beuton.
The new 10th season is expected to debut on SABC3 in September in which contestants take part in various stamina, mental, time and skills-based challenges for the chance to win R1 million.
