Welheminah "Vel" Bodiba is a contestant from Survivor South Africa: Champions.
Despite being a strategically passive player, Vel enjoyed a strong alliance with Buhle Madlala and Solly Mathiba while on the Utara tribe. Though her trio was on the outside of the Utara majority, she was saved by a tribe switch which allowed her to bond with the Selatan majority alliance. Vel's game proceeded smoothly until Solly was blindsided by the Selatans. Without any tangible relationships with the majority, Vel was taken out at the Double Elimination.
