Cape Town — Rachel Kolisi has shared that their family is complete again, with Siya’s two siblings joining them in France for the festive season.
Rachel took to Instagram to show the big reunion when she uploaded a photo dump of family selfies that included herself, Siya, their kids Nicholas and Keziah, as well as Siya’s siblings — Liyema and Liphelo. The pictures were noticeable in that the family all wore matching PJs too.
“Reunited for the holidays! ❤️. And my heart is full again. It’s going to be our first white and cold Christmas! In a time where there is such devastation in the world, I’m remembering how incredibly privileged, and blessed we are,” she wrote.

For the last four months, the Kolisi family has resided in Paris and has smoothly adapted to their fresh environment and residence.
The children are comfortably attending school, and Siya has been making waves as a key player for his new club, Raving 92.
Siya and his siblings share a mother, who unfortunately passed away in 2009. Liyema and Liphelo bounced around orphanages to foster homes for years before Siya and Rachel were financially stable enough to adopt them in 2014, The South African reported.
“My little sister didn’t know me. She had been crawling when I last saw her. I told the woman taking care of them that I was going to take them for December holidays that year, which I did. But afterwards I said I can’t send them back,” he said,
“I had to go through a legal process, which I started after that holiday. It took about 18 months, but I finally legally adopted them,” he continued.
