Fans entered the draw for the XUV300 by voting for their favourite contestant which in turn would win the KUV100. Fans were also able to get 10 additional entries by visiting a Mahindra dealership and test drive one of the vehicles on offer. During the season finale, it was announced that Rob Bentele, who was named Sole Survivor also won the Mahindra KUV100 NXT K8 as the Fan Favourite.<\/p>\n<p>The winner which managed to beat fan favourite finalists, Jacques Burger and Nicole Capper continued to say, \u201cThe KUV100 is a representation of the fans\u2019 love, and that I will always treasure. On a more subtle note, this car is durable and rugged, which I believe is symbolic of how I played the game,\u201d Rob Bentele, Survivor SA winner and Fan Favourite winner.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-226516\" src=\"https:\/\/albertonrecord.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2019\/09\/lrm_export_115568813556877_20190913_004312856.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Also in attendance was Gauteng based student, Kyle Roberts, which drove away in the XUV300 W8 after only entering the competition twice. \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe my luck. I am a huge fan of Survivor and who knows, maybe someday I can also enter. But for now, my first order of business is to sell my old car!\u201d Kyle Roberts.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIn South Africa\u2019s crowded vehicle market with over 50 brands and thousands of options available, Mahindra has had to earn the trust and custom of South African buyers.

It is that spirit of the challenge that we see in all the contestants of Survivor South Africa and that has made it one of the three top shows in South African prime time,\u201d Rajesh Gupta, CEO of Mahindra South Africa.<\/p>\n<div class=\"stream-item stream-item-below-post-content\">\n<div class='tenancy_slot tenancy_slot_1 jannah_ad' style='display: none;' data-query-id='401bddae582477b6822b7ea311510155'><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2019 season finale of the popular show, Survivor, saw contestant and season winner Rob Bentele and Fan Favourite competition winner, Kyle Roberts, drive away in new Mahindra vehicles. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8257,"featured_media":218195,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hasGravity":false,"cxt_article_byline":"Autodealer","cxt_disable_google_ads":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31423],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-218194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-motoring"],"amp_enabled":true,"category_labels":{"Category":"Motoring","SubCategory":"Bikes"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8257"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218194"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218194\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
