Enhle Mbali and Rachel Kolisi's divorces compared

Social media was buzzing after Springbok Captain Siya Kolisi's ex-wife, Rachel Kolisi, shared a picture showing the downgrade from a top-of-the-range Mercedes-Benz to a Toyota Yaris. Rachel has been open about life after divorce and the changes in her life.

Fans sympathised with Rachel, with a user with the handle @hlovo suggesting that her ex-husband, Siya Kolisi, must buy her a new Mercedes-Benz and a house as part of their divorce settlement. While some fans showed love and support to Rachel, some people accused them of double standards because Enhle Mbali was dragged for posting about her divorce.

"As much as you are not wrong for what you are saying but it baffles me how black men will always shame black women for wanting spousal support, but suddenly understand that spousal support is needed when white women are involved."
