According to Times Live, Siya Foundation CEO and the flanker’s wife, Rachel, said the couple is living their dream to help the people of Mzansi.

“Hunger is a much bigger problem in South Africa than many people realise. It is worse in winter when people cannot grow their own food. When Siya and I set up the foundation in 2020, we wanted to focus on food security, education, sport and gender-based violence.”
