Cape Town — South African rugby captain, Siya Kolisi, found the funny side of comedian Mpho Popps’ new comedy-skit featuring his lookalike.
Mpho took to his X account and uploaded two images and a video – one of him posing with Siya, and another alongside the lookalike.
In the video, Mpho was presenting a parody news broadcast where he introduced “Seeya Koleesi” to his viewers. Mpho joked about “Seeya” losing weight after all the stress of the Springboks’ one-point victories and also joked about his time in France.
“After two world cups vs before two world cups. Sjoe! We have come far shem Captain my captain cc @SiyaKolisi“
Siya found the humour in the skit and said: “Mpho Popps, Hayi, you got me good.” on his Instagram.

Siya and the rest of the family were enjoying some downtime as they enjoyed a holiday in the US, and while he was there, he spent some time with philanthropist and businessman, Vincent Mai. Siya was the benefactor of Vincent Mai Bursary, which allowed Siya to attend Grey High School in PE, The Citizen reported.
He uploaded a picture of himself and Rachel alongside Vincent and his wife, as the two couples attended an NBA game in Brooklyn.
