Divorce proceedings between Rachel and Siya Kolisi are likely in full swing, and that means dividing up their assets – if they’re married in community of property.

The Springboks captain and his partner of over a decade announced their marriage split last week to the shock of many South Africans.

 

 

 

But how will they part ways when it comes to their family home?

HOW MANY HOUSES DO SIYA AND RACHEL KOLISI OWN?
According to unconfirmed claims, Rachel and Siya Kolisi have two family homes – in Cape Town and Durban, where the rugby player played for the Stormers and the Sharks, respectively.

The couple – who have two children and have adopted Siya’s two younger siblings – also briefly lived in France.

In an Instagram post in September, Rachel revealed that the family had moved four times in 18 months!

RACHEL TO GET HALF?
If Rachel and Siya Kolisi are indeed married in community of property, then the Springbok WAG could be entitled to half of his assets and liabilities, as well as decisions on child custody matters.

Siya – who is reportedly worth over R35 million – has multiple income streams and assets, including properties, vehicles, investments, and even cash.

INSIDE THE KOLISI KZN FAMILY MANSION
After living in France for a year, Siya Kolisi has moved back into his Ballito home in KwaZulu-Natal. It’s unclear where Rachel and the rest of the family are based.

The house is situated in a leafy green estate with views overlooking a nature reserve.

In pics posted on their Instagram account, the Kolisis have given the public a look inside their double-story home, which has a natural colour scheme, large windows, and solid oak furniture.

Rachel has candidly revealed her readiness for divorce, shedding light on her tumultuous marriage with Springbok captain Siya Kolisi. Following their recent announcement, speculation has flooded social media, with many fans expressing shock over the breakup of this once-beloved couple.

 

 

 

 

 

 
INSIDE THE KOLISI MARRIAGE: THE TWO SIDES TO SIYA
In a revealing video from the documentary Rise: The Siya Kolisi Story, Rachel Kolisi opened up about her struggles with her husband’s “two sides.” “It’s like there were two other people. It was Siya, and then there was a horrible Siya. I was full on ready for a divorce. I was done, done, done,” she shared. This stark admission highlights the internal conflicts that plagued their eight-year marriage.

Siya’s documentary footage also exposes his past struggles, including heavy drinking and reckless behaviour. In his book, he acknowledges the turning point in 2019 when Rachel urged him to seek mentorship from Ben Schoeman, who confronted him about his lifestyle: “Siya, you drink a lot, you fool around with women, you go to strip clubs. You post on social media about your faith in Christ, but you’re lying to yourself and everyone else.”

Rachel and Siya Kolisi’s relationship began at a dinner party in Stellenbosch in 2012 and culminated in their wedding on August 13, 2016. Over the years, the couple became a symbol of unity and strength, but they also faced challenges. In a recent interview, Siya admitted, “I had to go to marriage counselling because I couldn’t give everything to my wife; because my heart was so hard and I didn’t know how to speak.”

SOCIAL MEDIA DIVIDED: TEAM RACHEL VS. TEAM SIYA
Reactions to the divorce have polarised fans online, with many choosing sides. Comments ranged from those supporting Rachel’s candidness to those questioning Siya’s innocence. One user remarked, “‘Horrible Siya’… that’s harsh. You can never blame one person when a marriage fails.” Others defended Siya, suggesting that Rachel’s revelations came too late.

Amid the turmoil, Rachel Kolisi took to social media to express gratitude for the support she has received. “This is so hard. I have genuinely been overwhelmed by kindness and love, and I’m so grateful. Fully committed to my healing journey. Peace is my portion,” she wrote, showcasing her resilience during this challenging time.

THE KOLISIS: JOURNEY OF LOVE AND LEARNING
In their joint statement, the couple acknowledged their growth apart, saying, “We’ve grown apart, and our journey has taken us in different directions. We’ll always cherish the memories and lessons shared.” Their story, which began with passion and promise, serves as a reminder of the complexities of love and the importance of individual growth.

As Rachel and Siya move forward, the public will continue to watch their journeys unfold, hoping for healing and peace for both parties.

Is the new president or his wife South African?

There are pockets of Xhosa people in different parts of Botswana. My Grandma’s young sister married in a Xhosa speaking village in Botswana. I have Xhosa relatives here & in SA.”

Boko holds a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree from the University of Botswana and a Master of Laws (LLM) from Harvard Law School, where he specialised in constitutional and human rights law.

Boko’s wife was born and raised in Lobatse; a town known for its historic significance in Botswana. She also studied law and earned her degree at the University of Botswana.
