Springboks Captain Siya Kolisi Building Relationship With Absentee Father

Springboks captain Siya Kolisi has revealed he now has his priority set on building a strong relationship with his dad, Fezakele Kolisi, no matter the duration it takes.

The star took to his Instagram account to share two photos as he is currently in his hometown in Port Elizabeth. One of the photos he shared was on the beach and the other was with his dad who he indicated he wanted to strengthen his relationship. In a very lengthy caption, the Springbok captain wrote:

“I slept with a light heart phezolo because i had a much needed deep conversation with my father. I’m not sure about the relationship between time and healing, but I now know that in time we can grow the courage we need in order to take the first steps towards healing.”

He also mentioned that his relationship with his dad was important to him and he would keep fighting for it. Sia did not have a relationship with his dad, he lived with his grandmother at the age of 15 after his mom passed on. The star has since brought his dad back into his life and even got him a ticket at the 2019 Rugby World Cup final which he led the Springboks to win.
