Rachel Kolisi – the former wife of Springboks captain Siya Kolisi – is finally smiling again after sharing her raw and emotional journey amid a divorce.
The philanthropist and social media influencer split from her rugby husband six months ago in a bombshell announcement.
Since then, both Rachel and Siya have unfollowed each other on social media and are now navigating life as single parents.
RACHEL KOLISI FINALLY SMILING AGAIN
In a TikTok video, Rachel Kolisi shared an update on her state of mind amid her divorce from Siya Kolisi.
In a clip, the mom-of-two appeared happy and smiling as she looked into the camera. The words: “I’m happily discovering a newness in me that is very, very beautiful,” flashed across the screen.
Under the post, Rachel liked comments that read…
“Thank you, Lord that you heal the brokenhearted. Thank you for leaving your peace with her and restoring what has been taken from her.”
“She is clothed in strength and dignity and laughs without fear of the future.”
“You are brave, strong, and loved!”
AT ODDS WITH FOUNDATION?
Rachel Kolisi is no doubt on a new path, one that possibly involves her branching out from the Kolisi Foundation, which she co-founded with then-husband Siya Kolisi in 2019.
However, her departure from the charity organisation was not on the best terms.
In papers filed with the CCMA, Rachel revealed that she had stepped down from her role as CEO in April after the foundation made her position “intolerable.”
The papers claim that Rachel Kolisi “resigned because the employer acted unfairly and made continued employment intolerable.”
She is seeking “reinstatement and/or compensation.”
