Social media sensation Zuki Lamani is setting the record straight after rumours swirled linking her to the high-profile breakup between South Africa’s beloved couple, Rachel and Siya Kolisi.
The Cape Town influencer found herself in the spotlight once again, and this time, not for her fashion posts or beauty tips, but for the divorce drama involving the rugby superstar and his wife.
Lamani first shot to fame in 2018 when she posted about meeting Siya Kolisi, the freshly appointed first black captain of the Springboks and, as she’d gushed at the time, her “celebrity crush.” In the viral snaps, Zuki and Siya shared a friendly half-embrace, with Zuki captioning one post with, “That Kolisi glow,” leaving followers wondering just how close the two had become.
As news of the Kolisi split spread, social media went into overdrive, with some users speculating that Zuki might have had a hand in the breakup. On a recent Instagram Live, Zuki addressed the elephant in the room head-on. When one bold follower asked, “Is it true that you are the one who made Rachel divorce Siya?” Zuki didn’t hold back. A visibly irritated Zuki fired back with a few choice words, saying, “Come up with an answer, and that’s going to be your answer. Do whatever!”
Memes started pouring in, with one user joking, “Zuki on her way to comfort Siya during this difficult time.” Another one said: “Phakama Zuki! It’s time for you to fetch that Kolisi glow. Siya is a free agent.” And in perhaps the cheekiest take, one fan suggested, “Zuki is ready to make the most of the ‘transfer window!’”
Flashback to 2018, when Zuki’s posts about meeting Siya Kolisi became the talk of social media. In one candid moment, Zuki claimed that Siya had cheekily said “dammit” as she snapped a photo. She even shared how Siya had offered to take some photos of her with her phone, adding fuel to the rumour mill. The light-hearted posts, however, struck a nerve with Siya’s then-wife, Rachel, who reportedly left a not-so-subtle comment under the now-infamous Instagram photos, leading fans to speculate about a potential rivalry.
