Rachel Kolisi is not changing her surname, and she made that clear with a single, perfectly timed caption. Rachel shared a cheeky nod to the public conversation around whether she would drop the Kolisi name following her split from Springbok captain Siyamthanda Kolisi. She tagged her wellness platform @fallingforward__ in the caption and announced she was heading to the Eastern Cape.
The author and wellness advocate posted a casual, self-recorded video while travelling through an airport terminal, suitcase in tow. The on-screen text read:
"First name. Last name. Same same. 😎😂"
Rachel's caption says it all
The vlog-style clip struck a nerve with followers who have watched Rachel Kolisi navigate life in the public eye since her divorce. Rather than address the surname debate head-on, she chose humour, and Mzansi was here for every second of it.
