Farrier
David, the oldest contestant on Survivor South Africa to date, is not your average 'old toppie'. He shoes race horses and show horses for a living – a job he's done since his army days - which were a long time ago.
He has never been married, has no kids and has never consumed alcohol or smoked cigarettes. David is a fun-loving motor-mouth with an odd sense of humour.
You'd never say so at first glance, but he loves meditation and reading and prefers books about History and Neurology.
David's plan is to protect the young ladies and to show the others that an old man is not a liability for the tribe. His biggest fear is being voted off simply because of his age.
