THE RUGBY STAR’S SIBLINGS AND MOM
Siya, Liyema and Liphelo share a mother, who tragically passed away. Liyema and Liphelo’s father also tragically passed away. They were then left bouncing from orphanages to foster homes. Siya had found his siblings in 2012, according to The Guardian. However, he could only adopt them in 2014.
“I had to go through a legal process, which I started after that holiday. It took about 18 months, but I finally legally adopted them,” he said to The Guardian.
Back in 2021, Siya expressed that he feels for his siblings who didn’t get to spend as much time with their mom as he did. This was in a sweet Mother’s Day post he penned for his mom.
“We miss you! I miss you ! I feel for my siblings who never got to spend as much time as I did with you, especially my sister. I love telling her all about you but it still doesn’t do you justice. I love you I hope we are making you happy and proud,” he wrote.
“Your smile and sense of humour Always lit up the room . Your love and kindness just filled my heart up ! I’ll never forget when you use to parade me around when I had my school uniform and telling everyone unmntanam ufunda etown and uyakhumsha 😂 love you always Phakama,” he continued.
