SIYA AND RACHEL KOLISI’S KIDS ATTEND SCHOOL IN SOUTH AFRICA
Siya Kolisi’s wife, Rachel Kolisi revealed that their two children – Nicholas (9) and Keziah (6), have started school in South Africa, while they are on holiday from school in Paris, France. Rachel revealed that while her family is in South Africa, while the Springboks play, her kids are doing a few weeks of school. Take a look…
“First day of school in SA! Europe has their summer holidays now (8 weeks). So we’re doing a few weeks of school while we’re home ❤️,” she captioned the post.
The Kolisi family moved to Paris, France in August 2023. This was just ahead of the Rugby World Cup in 2023, when Siya led the Springboks to defeat the All Blacks and become double Rugby World Cup champions in October. The reason for the Kolisi family moving to France was because Siya joined Paris-based rugby team Racing92.
Before joining Racing92, Siya played for The Sharks. So, he and his family lived in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. The Springboks lost against Ireland this past weekend at Hollywoodbets Kings Park on Saturday 13 July. Next, the Springboks will clash against Portugal in Bloemfontein this Saturday 20 July.
FANS WEIGH IN
