South African actress and TV personality Ntando Duma said she was looking for a tenacious person to join her on the beautiful island of Curaçao.
“I need someone who is determined and refuses to give up when handed a challenge,” Duma said.
The actress said she was also looking for someone reliable and someone who is able to look at challenges from a different perspective.
“My potential team mate must be ready to face the unexpected, and should be someone who can see the ‘big picture’. That way, I know my team mate and I will be in it to win it no matter what the challenges throw at us,” said Duma.
Meanwhile, actor Kay Sibiya said he’s being strategic in what he’s looking for in his Tropika Island of Treasure teammate.
“My ideal team mate is someone who has a combination of being physically and mentally fit because both of these aspects are needed to win that R1 million prize money. It’s about the long game which is more psychological than physical so I need someone patient and witty. I also want to have fun so someone with an amazing sense of humour wouldn’t hurt either,” he said.

Finally, actress and singer Simphiwe Ngema said she was looking for someone who is physically fit to help her cruise her way to the R1 million grand prize.
“There are a lot of physical challenges on Tropika Island of Treasure so having someone who is strong on my team will definitely help me get ahead in those challenges. Mental challenges are very likely in #TIOT9 so I would need someone on my side who thinks quickly and is able to come up with solutions in a relatively short amount of time – and not crack under the pressure,” Ngema said.
