Rachel Kolisi – the former partner of Springboks captain Siya Kolisi – has shared a heartbreaking video on social media amid her high-profile divorce.
The mother-of-two announced her separation last October and has been navigating life as a single parent ever since.
RACHEL KOLISI CRIES, HAS ANXIETY ATTACK IN EMOTIONAL VIDEO
In a TikTok video, Rachel Kolisi revealed her fragile state of mind as she navigates co-parenting with her ex, Siya Kolisi.
“In the process of getting a divorce. And today was the first time my kids flew to see their dad without me. It was hard”, she posted.
The video clip saw Rachel whisk her two children, including Siya’s sister Liphelo, off to the airport. They then joined their dad in Gqeberha, where the Springboks are playing this weekend.
In several moments during the day, Rachel Kolisi broke down in tears and even experienced an “anxiety attack”.
Later, Rachel decided to book a mini-getaway for herself and her grandmother to uplift her spirits.

SIYA’S TURN WITH THE KIDS
While Siya Kolisi will not be playing this weekend in the Springboks clash against Italy in Gqeberha, he has used the time to bond with his children and his sister.
Siya has been showing his loved ones around his home province, as well as the Zwide township, where he was born.
He’s also taken them on a trip to visit his old primary school, Emsengeni Primary School, which he funds through his Kolisi Foundation, which he co-founded with his ex-partner, Rachel, in 2019.
DO YOU THINK SIYA AND RACHEL KOLISI MADE THE RIGHT DECISION TO SPLIT?
