• A TikTok content creator stopped Springbok captain Siya Kolisi in his car and asked what he does for a living
• The question startled Siya, who quickly answered, cutting the interview short and driving away
• Some members of the online community thought Siya looked annoyed, while others understood his reaction

A local content creator approached Rugby World Cup champion Siya Kolisi and, rather amusingly, asked what he does for a living. The post sparked a wide range of opinions about how Siya responded.

Siya Kolisi asked what he does for a living

TikTok user Li Zuma, who uses the handle @lwandizuma and posts content asking people what they do for work, struck gold when he spotted Siya driving down the road in his luxury whip, a Mercedes-Benz GLS 450d 4Matic, which costs roughly R2 million.

Stopping Siya in the middle of the street, Li boldly addressed Siya and asked what he does for a living. After hearing the question, the Sharks player asked, "What?" which prompted Li to repeat the question.

Siya responded to the question, saying:

"I'm a rugby player."

Unfortunately for Li, the interview was cut short as Siya noted there were motorists behind him, and he drove away.

@nokwandzile shared their thoughts about Siya's reaction:

"I don't think he was annoyed by the question, rather that he's on the road and doesn't want to cause traffic because he is famous. I respect that."

@veevee_happy had a different opinion and wrote:

"Siya is so chilled, and I love that you asked him stupid questions, and he is unbothered."

@ut7f7fuf7f7f noted in the comment section:

"Wow, Siya is so humble. Even though you startled him, he was so kind."

@nandiimhlongo said to the content creator:

"He was genuinely shocked that you asked what he does for a living."

@mphencwane1 wrote to the guy:

"You asked the wrong question, bro."

@prosper.mthembu also felt the interaction should have gone differently:

"You had an opportunity to ask a question or say something meaningful, but you decided to be a content creator."
