National rugby captain Siya Kolisi showed his love and appreciation to the women from his hometown, Zwide in the Eastern Cape, who gave him food as a child when his family didn’t have any.
The rugby star took it upon himself to give back to the women during the Covid-19 lockdown by giving them food parcels that would feed their families for an entire month.
Taking to Instagram to share the moment, Siya wrote: “As a young boy some days we didn’t have food at home. And I would go from house to house with an empty cup asking for maize meal, beans anything that would feed my family and I for the night.” The 28-year-old has come a long way from being a boy from Zwide with a dream of becoming a world-renowned rugby player.
