Springbok rugby captain Siya Kolisi has made a name for himself on the rugby pitch with his heroic and hard-hitting performances. Off the field, Kolisi is fast earning a reputation for his humility, kindness and generosity. The Rugby World Cup winner regularly gives back to the less fortunate through his Siya Kolisi Foundation and recently visited the informal settlement of Joe Slovo in Cape Town.
Kolisi and his team were delivering food parcels to the impoverished community when one of the residents offered him a bowl of food. Rather than refuse the offer or pretend and stash the food away, Kolisi warmly embraced it and enjoyed the meal right there. An iconic photo of the Bok captain sitting down on the ground to eat was captured and went viral via social media. Andile Human shared the below post via Facebook.
