"How blessed am I to be broken into alignment."
A third one went:
"How blessed am I to be alone long enough to meet myself."
Other pictures in the carousel were of her with her children and sister-in-law, swimmer Tatjana Smith.
The post's caption was innocent enough for it to pass as a regular post, but the photos under it told the story of a healing person. She wrote:
"First few moments of 2026 ❤️."

Fans react to the post
As Rachel shared her candid thoughts, reactions poured in from across Mzansi.
While many expressed admiration for her grace and strength, others highlighted the need for empathy for both her and Siya as they step into new beginnings.

"You will rise again, my friend. Stronger and more firmly. God is anchored than ever! Hold on tight. Some days are very bad. Then comes the better days and everything that is beautiful."
@justcruizinsouthafrica commented:
"God's grace and love are so evident in your life, Rachel❤️."
@precious___mm recommended a book for Rachel's healing journey, writing:
"Hello @rachelkolisi. Please look out for this book. It's my favourite and I love it for all generations. It's a gift to humanity in our time: Becoming Supernatural by Dr Joe Dispenza. You will absolutely love it. I promise you."
@phoenixwanderer said:
"This is so raw, powerful, full of resilience, strength and moving."
Another user, @mpho.siko, veered off the positivity lane, stating:
"At some point we have to be honest. Siya Kolisi is a loser who abandoned his family. Certainly not heroic."
@ronald.johnson said:
"Wishing both you and Siya more grace and healing."
Rachel Kolisi retains Siya's surname
Amid their public split and Siya's new public relationship, Rachel Kolisi has not reverted to her Smith Surname.
This move has raised a national conversation: why is Rachel still using the Kolisi surname? Is it legal, emotional, or strategic?
Many in Mzansi speculated that she retains the surname for the sake of her children with Siya, while others saw it as a business move, stating "Rachel Kolisi" was now a household brand in Mzansi.
