Mohale still keen for marriage amid Siya and Rachel’s divorce
Despite Rachel and Siya Kolisi announcing the end of their marriage, Mohale Motaung says he would still like to give marriage another try.
Mohale Motaung has revealed that he would still like to get married amid Mzansi’s much-loved couple Rachel and Siya Kolisi announcing the end of their eight-year marriage on Wednesday.
MOHALE IS READY TO GIVE MARRIAGE ANOTHER TRY
The actor and influencer who got married to media personality Somizi Mhlongo in 2019 and got divorced in 2023, shared on X that he still wishes to get married. This follows the announcement of the separation of Rachel and Siya Kolisi, the first family of the Springboks.
The couple’s divorce broke many hearts and sparked an intense online debate about the merits of marriage.
Mohale replied to an X user who asked if his followers were still interested in marriage. He shared a clip from Khumbulekhaya, which featured Rosalia, who appeared on the show after her sister had written to it to help them reconcile.
In the video, Rosalie can be heard saying “ha monate jwang,” which means “so sweet,” implying that he still wants to get married.
