Fans loved the couple
After Thapelo Morena’s pictures with his wife trended, some fans called the Bafana’s Siya and Rachel Kolisi showing them love.
@chiefcebo_ “This is the family structure we are encouraging our players to follow instead of spending money on hoes and alcohol. Establish a stable family structure and remain faithful. Fruits will show on the field too.”
@undercovard “This should be normalised in SA, maybe it will inspire other players, family priorities”
@Nolofy “We need to see more of this. It can’t only be for Rugby and Cricket. Even when a Soccer player’s wife gives birth, there is never any mention of that, but when a Rugby player is a new dad, it’s all over the News. Pollock’s new dad status is fed to us like wildfire”
