Zavion Kotze is a contestant from Survivor South Africa: Champions.
Standing out as Selatan's most impressive challenge performer, Zavion started the game with a close bond with his tribe captain Corné Krige and what he believed was a solid majority alliance. However, he was blindsided at his first Tribal Council and had to scramble to regain his footing. After being roped into the Rugrats Alliance, Zavion cruised into the endgame on the backs of his strength in Immunity Challenges and position in the core of the majority alliance, despite being identified as a physical threat. At the final five, Zavion's false sense of security allowed the Utara outsiders Buhle Madlala and Sivu Xabanisa to blindside him with an idol play.
