The video spread fast, and Mzansi could not get enough of what they saw.

A bond that runs deep

Liphelo is no stranger to the Kolisi family spotlight. Rachel and Siya took her and her brother Liyema in around 2014, and she has been part of their world ever since.

The two have shared plenty of memorable moments together over the years, from birthday tributes to fun family videos that Mzansi has always loved seeing.

Liphelo recently hit a big milestone too, celebrating her matric dance, which only added to how much people have watched her grow up in this family.

So when she came over for lunch with friends, it was not just any visit. It was family doing what family does.
