While several rugby players haven’t resided permanently in the province they’ve represented – Duane Vermeulen and Schalk Brits stayed in the Cape while playing for the Bulls – it appears the Kolisis have elected to do the “long distance” thing for the remainder of 2021 at least.
Rachel Kolisi took to her Instagram account on Wednesday to confirm that “We’ll be @siya_kolisi_the_bear & @sharksrugby number 1 supporters from Cape Town for the next 10 months. ???????? Pray for me ????????????
Rachel Kolisi and three of the couple’s children were all photographed wearing Sharks caps, colours and/or tops.
The Kolisis married in 2016 and have two children together: son Nicholas and daughter Keziah.
Since 2014, Siya Kolisi’s half-siblings, Liyema and Liphelo, children of his mother who died in 2009, have been part of the Kolisi household.
