Female fans crush on single Siya Kolisi after Rachel's crying post

Siya Kolisi has attracted a flurry of attention from female admirers after the Springboks returned to his hometown of Gqeberha. The captain of the South African rugby team is newly single after splitting from his former wife, Rachel Kolisi, last October. Although the Springbok captain sat out the game against Italy over an injury 'niggle', Siya Kolisi kept himself busy in the lead up to the game by spending time with friends and family in his hometown of Gqeberha. On matchday, Siya brought out the Webb Ellis trophy for the crowd gathered at the Nelson Mandela Stadium. In pictures posted on the Springboks' social media account, Siya was seen getting a lot of love from his hometown fans, including his female ones. One image saw a fan hold up a handwritten poster that read: 'Hey Siya, I only came to C ya. #crush'. In the image were several beautiful ladies who smiled in a selfie taken by him. Meanwhile, Siya Kolisi's TikTok video of him happily dancing in public has attracted mixed views after his former wife, Rachel Kolisi, posted her own video of her crying amid an anxiety attack. Rachel shared an emotional post about going through a divorce and the difficulties in co-parenting. At several points, the former Springbok WAG burst into tears. @siyakolisi There's no place like home 🕺🏾 I love being in GQ! #southafrica #gqeberha ♬ iWalk Ye Phara (feat. Moonchild Sanelly, K.O & Zulu Mkhathini) – DJ Maphorisa & DJ Raybel While many sympathised with Rachel, others didn't believe her emotional state should influence her ex, Siya. @vickeydouglas283: 'So he must cry because she is crying? Guys, life is not a Nigerian movie' @nozipee: 'I'm happy he's not showing the world what it wants to see….. heal in private. They wanna see you crash out so bad' @thembisil.e: 'Argh man, he's just living his life'. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .

Will Andile Mpisane play for mom's new soccer club?

Andile Mpisane has fueled rumours he may advance his soccer career at eSwatini club, Mbalane Highlanders, which his mother, MaMkhize – real name Shauwn Mkhize – was recently named president of. The move comes months after the businesswoman's South African club, Royal AM, was expelled from the PSL amid her R40 million SARS tax evasion scandal. Although the club has adopted many elements of Royal AM, MaMkhize does not own the Swati counterpart. Over the weekend, MaMkhize confirmed that she was the new president of Mbalane Highlanders FC, which had been rebranded Mbalande Highlanders AM FC. The inclusion of the word 'AM' – Andilie Mpisane's initials – fuelled rumours that her son may be more than just a supporter of the football club. Andile and his wife Tamia accompanied MaMkhize to the club's announcement, with the former even cutting the ribbon to the 'new and improved' team. Andile Mpisane stoked the flames by reposting a clip of the announcement on his Instagram Story with his football catchphrase 'Expensive 10'. The number 10 was Andile's football jersey number at Royal AM, where he was both a player and a chairman. Rumours that Andile Mpisane may have a starring role in Mbalane Highlanders AM FC, possibly thanks to his mother, comes as no surprise. In 2023, MaMkhize defended her 'talented' son's soccer abilities. Speaking to Andile Ncube on his Metro FM show, Sports Night Amplified, the businesswoman insinuated that her luxury car-collecting son deserved a spot on the squad. Will former Royal AM chairman and player Andile Mpisane make a football comeback? Images via Instagram: @andilempisane10 MaMkhize also revealed that Andile had played for Amazulu during his development stage. She said: 'He wouldn't have entered AmaZulu if he didnt have talent. They only look for talent. 'He would have grown. Maybe he would have been an AmaZulu player'. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .

Afropop star Mthunzi set to light up Sunday Loving at Lumo Lounge

Afropop sensation Mthunzi is set to bring his soulful vocals and infectious energy to the Sunday Loving experience at Lumo Lounge & Living in Ruimsig, Roodepoort, on Sunday. Best known for his collaboration with Kabza De Small on the chart-topping EP Isimo, Njabulo 'Mthunzi' Ndimande has carved out a space as one of the most compelling voices in the South African music scene. The project raked in more than 40-million streams across digital platforms, with the standout hit Imithandazo becoming a global fan favourite. In an interview, Mthunzi reflected on his musical journey and how his passion was sparked at an early age. 'I started singing when I was just three years old. My mom noticed my love for music early on and has supported me ever since,' said the artist, who hails from Hammarsdale in KwaZulu-Natal. The Sunday Loving event promises fans an intimate night of live music and vibes. Organisers say Mthunzi's performance will be a key highlight. Lucky Mpilo of Lumo Lounge told TshisaLIVE: 'We are excited to have a mega artist such as Mthunzi in our establishment. His fans are in for a treat. It's going to be the best Sunday for our patrons.' With his blend of heartfelt lyrics and genre-blurring sound, Mthunzi's set is expected to be nothing short of magical.
