‘Black fathers’: Angry fans fume over Siya Kolisi’s absence during family fire scare

Does the Springboks captain Siya Kolisi not care for his family?

Recently, Siya Kolisi faced harsh trolling online. Critics claimed he ignored his family during a recent fire scare. His ex-wife and children were reportedly near danger, yet Siya posted from Anfield, celebrating Liverpool’s win. Fans were quick to call him out, accusing him of insensitivity.

But context matters. Siya was on duty with the Sharks at the United Rugby Championship. He had limited control over his schedule or location. Moreover, his history speaks louder than a single post. Siya once rescued his siblings from an orphanage, raising them as his own.

He supports his children’s milestones, birthdays, and events. He’s present even when physically away. Social media shows only seconds of a full day. Judging Siya on a single post is unfair. His lifelong record of commitment to his family tells a different story. Siya Kolisi remains a symbol of strength, responsibility, and family love, even in challenging times.

What fans say

After Rachel posted an update on the fire scares, her fans trolled the Springboks captain Siya Kolisi for not protecting his family.

@Pilani “WHERE IS SIYA IN ALL THIS.BLACK FATHERS ARE …HOLES SOMETIMES”

@neziwe alleta “Yho Siya mfondini yinto ubuzoyithini I was not so worried too much because I know u&Asakhe you are good in praying 🙏

@Pilanis “Where is Siya, does he care?”

However, some fans defended him citing their divorce and that he can not be there all the time.

@Heather De Beer “They are no longer a couple! What Siya is doing has got nothing to do with what and where Rachel is. Really people get a life!”

@Ntokozo Mkhize ” don’t brandish black people,at any point,brandish whoever or whatever you want,but please,no disrespecting black people,or people of any color for that matter. If you want to know where Siya is,search for him yourself. The world has disrespected us for centuries,so please sit this one out,and we are not black,but different shades of brown . Next time think before you write.”
