The setting was as sleek as the man himself as Kolisi chose the prestigious Cape Grace Hotel for the photoshoot, perfectly blending classic elegance with a modern fit.

He exclaimed, "What a touch," as he marvelled at the impeccable craftsmanship and precision of the garments, giving credit to Mashego’s keen eye for detail.

With a collaboration that dates back to 2025, the renowned designer is no stranger to working with sports royalty. Previously, rugby star Makazole Mapimpi was seen sporting some Relevance For Men garments, a move that saw him officially make his entry into fashion content creation.

Before him, retired footballer Teko Modise modelled some RFM pieces himself, and like Mashego's top celebrity clients, the former Bafana Bafana player showcased the brand's appeal among some of the country's biggest stars.

Siya's look serves as proof that he can transition from the field to the runway with ease, receiving rave reactions from fans and fashionistas alike.
