He captioned the pic: “@rachelkolisi wenza kakhulu [is doing a lot], honestly we wouldn’t be where we are as a family without you! Thank you, Mariri.”

In a separate post, Siya shared a “then vs. now” post of Rachel. In the first picture taken a decade ago, Rachel is posing with the Boks captain who returned from his own initiation process. The current pic saw Rachel posing alongside Liyema.

“Only Nic is missing now,” he captioned the pic, referring to his first-born son.

And just like Siya Kolisi, his followers were quick to heap praise on Rachel.

Dee_xaba: “She’s a real one.”
