The Springboks superstar was frequently praised as a devoted spouse to Rachel. Netizens crowded the comment area of a video of Siya Kolisi, allegedly just before his divorce.
Libho Geza, winner of Love Island South Africa, released a video of Siya at Nelson Mandela University. He rapped along to ProKid’s Uthini Ngo’s song with the lyrics “Free my boys,” which sparked a social media craze.
The video closes with Siya receiving pats on the back in a group embrace and swinging his arm around a young woman. Libho confirmed in the comments that he planned to release the video on October 12, 2024, stating in his description that he should have posted it “on the day it was taken”.
