Under the bright lights of the Stade de France, Siya Kolisi made history. Earning his 100th cap for South Africa and cementing his place among rugby’s greatest icons. From the dusty township of Zwide to lifting two Rugby World Cups, Kolisi’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.
Twelve years after his debut, the Springbok captain joined legends like John Smit, Bryan Habana, and Victor Matfield in the elite 100-cap club. But for Kolisi, this milestone was more than just a number, it was a tribute to his roots. “It starts with my community in Zwide,” he reflected. “They raised me, taught me, and gave me strength."
Kolisi’s story is one of courage, faith, and resilience. Once doubted and questioned for his place and leadership, he proved his worth through sheer performance and heart. Under the guidance of Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber, he grew from a promising player into an inspiring world leader.
Beyond the game, Kolisi uses his platform to drive real change through the Kolisi Foundation, tackling poverty and gender-based violence.
From township streets to rugby immortality, Siya Kolisi’s 100th Test isn’t just a celebration of sport, it’s a story of hope, unity, and the unbreakable South African spirit.
