Three new participants leave their daily lives to go through a series of frustrating and thrilling challenges to find out more about themselves. Nini Mabe is a confident Tswana woman who grew up on the dusty streets of Mafikeng with a close-knit family of 11 children. Conrad Potgieter is a streetwise survivor who has never had support from his family. Jan Tieties is from the disadvantaged traditional San, born in the Kalahari and has spent all his nomad life there.
