SIYA KOLISI

By Jeremy Daniel

Siya Kolisi recently led the Springboks to victory against England in the
final of the 2020 Rugby World Cup in Japan, and brought the Webb Ellis
Cup home. It was no doubt the crowning glory of an incredible journey
that began on the impoverished streets of Zwide, a township outside
Port Elizabeth. As the first black South African to captain a Springbok
rugby team, Kolisi's remarkable story is unique and deserves to be
heard.

His mother was a teenager when he was born. She left him in the care
of his grandmother who brought him up until she died (in his arms)
when Siya was ten. He found love and acceptance playing junior rugby
with the African Bombers club until his talent was spotted by the
prestigious Grey High School who offered Siya a full scholarship that
changed his life. He adapted well to the posh private school, but it was
on the rugby field where he excelled. Siya was rewarded with a call-up
to join the SA schools’ team and a contract to join the Western Province
rugby union.

Author Jeremy Daniel tracks Siya’s journey from running wild on the
streets of Zwide, through some crucial games in high school, into the
Western Province rugby set-up and his fight to become Springbok
captain. He goes deep inside the systems that identify junior talent, the
characters who shaped his journey and the moments where he showed
who he really was.

Siya never forgot where he came from, and ultimately adopted his
mother’s other two children after she died when he was in high school.
His life has not been without controversy, and his marriage to a fiery
young white woman was a lightning rod for racial politics. But he is a
shining beacon of hope for South Africa, he is massively popular and
there is a huge appetite from the public to know about his life and to
support him as World Cup winning Springbok captain. Roast Chicken R120.00 Bunny Chow ¼ ½

and loathed by the school’s headmistress. On the other hand, her kind and generous teacher, Miss Honey,
thinks she is a brilliant academic genius. Matilda has a number of excellent schemes in her head to teach
her nasty parents and headmistress a lesson. Whilst Matilda is the novel’s central character, many readers Free Delivery 060 804 4120 / 011 466 9931
will be drawn to the larger-than-life, extrovert, humourous and strangely likeable headmistress, Miss
Trunchbull. Her unique reprimands to the children, with phrases such as ‘blithering idiot’ and ‘stagnant
cesspool’ will leave you in stitches. Kyalami Downs Shopping Centre • Level 4
