Altaaf Sheik (29)
SAAF Helicopter Pilot
Altaaf, born and bred in Durban, always wanted to be a helicopter pilot and made his big dream come true by joining the SAAF.
His other passion is sport - and on that front, became the first Indian person to play rugby for the SAAF. The fast full-back and wing also completed the Air Force's survival course with flying colours.
Despite sporting a flashy smile, Altaaf professes to have a bad temper. Will he be able to stay calm? He also doesn't eat fish, which doesn't bode well for him on a desolate island!
