WHAT DID SHE SAY ABOUT SPRINGBOK CAPTAIN?
In 2018, Zuki Lamani posted pictures of her meeting the star rugby player on her Instagram account. In the pic, the half-embracing duo stares and smiles at each other.
“That Kolisi glow,” Zuki gushed over the married Springbok. In another, Zuku claimed that Siya had flirted back.
She captioned one IG Story: “So ubaby (Siya Kolisi) said ‘dammit’ when I was taking these shots. Then offered to take pictures of me with my phone while I do the shoot”.

The pics quickly went viral but for all the wrong reasons. Zuki – who admitted that Siya was her celebrity crush – was indirectly labelled “thirsty” by his wife Rachel, who left a comment under the post.
