A snap shared on Twitter by a user with the Twitter handle @_SonOfMars shows the statue versions of President Ramaphosa and Kolisi moments after the Springboks won the rugby world cup.
"Cryingggggg. Yall don't see the president at all," Son of Mars captioned the snap.

Briefly News also reported that Dolly Parton has said no to a statue in her honour. The legendary US singer took to social media recently to share a statement where she addressed the Tennessee legislature.
The state legislature was considering a bill to erect a statue of the music icon on the Capitol grounds. The star declined the offer due to the ongoing pandemic. In the statement she posted on Twitter on Thursday, 18 February, Dolly said:
"I am honoured and humbled by their intention but I have asked the leaders of the state legislature to remove the bill from any and all consideration. Given all that is going on in the world, I don't think putting me on a pedestal is appropriate at this time."
