WHY RACHEL KOLISI RETURNED TO SOUTH AFRICA
So, why was Rachel in South Africa after her family relocated to Paris? The Springboks first lady was in town for a Finding the Light Foundation event at the Artscape Theatre Centre in Cape Town, in support of The Kolisi Foundation. She reunited with Siya’s two siblings – Liyema and Liphelo at the event.
Siya and Rachel founded The Kolisi Foundation in March 2020. The vision of the foundation is to change the stories of inequality in South Africa, to see thriving communities.
The Kolisi family moved to Paris, France in 2023. Rachel and the kids moved to the scenic city in August 2023. While Siya moved after he led the Springboks to win the Rugby World Cup on 28 October 2023. Siya then joined Paris-based rugby team Racing 92. The family of four now lives in Paris, but they do occasionally make trips back home to South Africa.
The Kolisi’s lived in Durban, South Africa before they left to Paris. Before then, Rachel and the kids lived in Cape Town along with Siya’s two siblings – Liyema and Liphelo. Siya hails from Zwide, a township in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape.
