Thembelani Majozi defended Kolisi on Facebook: “Judging by the way he looks, I think he is free. Everyone knows marriage is like a prison. He has done it all and has beautiful children. Let Siya live his life. That Speedo has a South African flag. He definitely wore it on purpose and the purpose revealed itself. So what.”

Others echoed similar sentiments, appreciating Kolisi’s happiness:

• Thulani Ndwandwe: “You can see on his face he’s been longing to do that for a very long time.”
• Ntsako Valoi: “He’s doing what single men do.”
• Lesetsa Daniel Mello: “He’s a free man since he’s out of marriage.”

Concerns and Criticisms

However, not everyone viewed Kolisi’s behavior positively. Some expressed concern that his actions might detract from his responsibilities.

Matt Makhabela interpreted the gesture as a cry for help: “This is a cry for help. The guy is really stressed about his divorce. Stress and depression can make one act crazy sometimes. He realised he messed up.”

Zee Ngcambu shared on Facebook: “I am OK about him being free, but being free also comes with responsibilities of the brand you carry. Hope he remains disciplined and focused. We have seen too many here going south when there is not a supportive woman on their side. I wish him strength in dealing with the divorce. Maybe he is using any opportunity given to process everything because it is not an easy one.”

A Gesture of Gratitude

Kolisi expressed his gratitude to fans after the victory against Scotland, acknowledging the support from South Africans who travelled to Edinburgh.

“To all the South Africans who came out, thank you so much. It was great to see you in the streets of Edinburgh. We are nothing without you. Wherever we are in the world, you make sure you are there,” Kolisi said.
