After their post trended, the country was in disbelief and they went wild on social media. Content creators picked up their cameras to express their shock. Ikho, a funny digital creator, floored everyone when he brought Xhosa people into the chat.

The gent played a concerned older woman who discussed ways to fix the Kolisi marriage. She called her friend as she headed out to a meeting with Rachel and Siya to convince them to make up:

Mzansi reacts to Rachel and Siya Kolisi's divorce

A relationship expert, Paula Quinsee, highlighted that No one signs up for a relationship expecting to be cheated on. Still, the reality is that it does happen., and it can be soul-destroying to the person being cheated on as well as cause lots of damage to the people around them:

“When a relationship reaches the end of the road, several clear indicators show up long before we get to that tipping point.”

These are some of the signs to look out for:

Communication breakdown – when a couple is emotionally distant, conversations become purely functional and transactional. Arguments start to occur more frequently or are avoided altogether as one or both partners stop engaging and shut down or checkout.

Decreased intimacy - physical affection and intimacy decreases or disappear altogether, and in some cases partners may even begin sleeping in separate rooms or find reasons to avoid each other.

5 emotional statements by 'healing' Rachel Kolisi as she returns to social media amid divorce

Emotional withdrawal— one or both partners may feel distant, and the relationship can deteriorate to the point where they become more like roommates than a couple because they stop sharing their personal feelings, goals, or even simple daily updates of what’s going on in their respective worlds.

Resentment and contempt – when negative emotions replace affection, this can often lead to criticism, sarcasm, and arguments, resulting in a build-up of resentment to the point where it's difficult to see or even remember positive aspects of the relationship.

Plans that exclude their partner - when someone is consistently making plans without including their partner, it’s often a sign of emotional detachment and creating a life outside the relationship and separate to their partner.

Social media users were floored by the foolery and commented:
