Liyema, the younger brother of Springboks captain Siya Kolisi, penned a touching birthday tribute to Rachel Kolisi on her birthday.
SIYA KOLISI’S BROTHER PENS BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE TO RACHEL
Rachel Kolisi celebrated her 35th birthday on 21 January. This marks Rachel’s first birthday since she announced her split from Springboks captain Siya Kolisi in October 2021. Siya’s younger brother, who he shares a mom with, penned a touching birthday tribute to Rachel via an Instagram Story on 21 January.
Liyema expressed that Rachel has been a mother figure to him and that he loved her so much. Take a look…
“Words can not express how grateful I am to have you as a mother figure in my life. I love you so much, may God bless you with many more years and to many more memories @rachelkolisi,” he wrote.

Siya and Rachel have two kids together – Nicholas (10) and Keziah (7). The pair had also adopted Siya’s two siblings Liyema and Liphelo when they were younger.
RACHEL MAINTAINS STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH SIYA’S SIBLINGS DESPITE DIVORCE
While Siya and Rachel may have split, the mom of two has still maintained a good relationship with the Springbok captain’s siblings. In their joint statement announcing their divorce, the pair affirmed that they are staying committed to raising their kids with the love they have always known and this possibly included Liyema and Liphelo – as the pair had adopted them when they were younger.
“This decision comes from a place of love, respect and understanding that this is the best path forward for both of us. While our relationship as a couple is changing, we remain great friends and committed partners in raising our children with the same love and care they’ve always known,” read the statement.
In December, Rachel took Siya’s sister Liphelo on her family vacation to Sydney, Australia. Ahead of the vacation, she revealed that Liyema could not join because he has started working and did not have leave.
