WHEELS AND MEALS

SOUTH Africa’s former darling couple, Rachel and Siya Kolisi, are doing their eie ding and getting loads of support from their fans.

The pair announced their divorce last October and have been sharing their single lives on social media.

And the Springbok rugby team captain Siya and the mother of his two children had their fans whooping and hyped up this weekend.

Rachel showed off her brand-new set of wheels and it’s a major upgrade from her borrowed “Betsy”.

The mom of two announced on Friday night that she’s now part of the Jetour South Africa family.

Jetour is a Chinese SUV brand that officially launched in Mzansi in September 2024.

The partnership marks an exciting new chapter for Rachel, who just weeks ago shared a funny and heartfelt moment with her followers when she introduced her temporary car, a Toyota Yaris she nicknamed “Betsy.”

In a since-deleted Instagram post, she opened up about the experience of navigating life’s ups and downs, saying: “Life has a funny way of humbling you just when you think you’ve got it all figured out. 

“One day you’re riding high, the next you’re asking a friend to borrow their spare car and googling ‘how to parallel park a Yaris with dignity’.”

In the past, Rachel has been spotted in a Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover. 

Sharing a photo of herself with the new vehicle, she wrote: “Very excited and very grateful to be a part of the @jetour_south_africa family! Thank you @lmgsportsmanagement!”

Meanwhile, Springbok captain Siya brought down the house in Cape Town on Friday when he did a quick pitstop at a local eatery to get a takeaway.

One person, who posted a short video clip, said Mzansi’s favourite captain asked what he should order and a man suggested the chicken schnitzel bagel.
In the end, he got that and a bagel dog.

Kolisi and the Boks are innie Kaap to start their preparation for Saturday’s highly-anticipated clash, against the Barbarians for the first time on SA soil. He’s likely to be spotted more around town by his big fans.
