Rugby fans will not see the Springboks and Kolisi on television

The South African Broadcasting Corporation has announced that they will not show the eagerly anticipated match between the Springboks and the British and Irish Lions.

In a statement released on Friday, SABC revealed that it would "not be possible due to rights restrictions imposed by SuperSport". The statement reads:

"The public should be aware that Springbok matches are defined as national sporting events by ICASA and that free-to-air broadcasters are mandated by the regulator to make these events available.”.

Kolisi reads a bedtime story to his kids

In other recent stories on Kolisi, Briefly News wrote that Kolisi is a great dad and he has shown Mzansi the way again after he shared a video of himself reading a bedtime story to Keziah.

There were two videos, the first one was of Keziah "reading" a story with Nicolas. It was a cute moment and made even more adorable when the large South African rugby player squealed peekaboo in a high pitched voice.

Bedtime story turns into Bible sermon

The second video was more serious, Siya took the opportunity to read a Bible story about Jesus meeting children and explaining that the Kingdom of Heaven is full of children. He reminded his children that love, kindness and spending time with people was the most important.
