Immunity Island bio Official SurvivorSA: Immunity Island bio, from News24.com (5/2/21):
"Aftercare teacher Paul Cupido (29) from Johannesburg, describes himself as 'single, very single,' and thinks of himself as a kind and loving person, with a spontaneously positive outlook on life. 'I'm someone who's always up for a challenge – spiritually, mentally and physically and someone who often puts others before himself,' he says. He entered SurvivorSA because he wanted to be part of a social experiment, but also because he was craving a new adventure and a bit of excitement in his life."
