Siya Kolisi’s wife Rachel was the most trending topic online this week, and all because she shared an emoji.
The picture of a cup and straw - which apparently means “thirsty” or “lus” in Twitterland - was posted in response to a photo posted by Zuki Lamani with Rachel’s Springbok captain husband.
In the picture, the young fan, who calls herself an “Instagram influencer” is fawning and star-struck at the attentions of the rugby star, who is being his friendly and smiling self.
She also shared some snaps with captions referring to Siya as “ubaby” and “The Kolisi Glow”.

Innocent or not, social media went berserk over the pictures and Rachel’s emoji, with some calling her jealous and insecure, and others defending her.
While some accused Siya of being a player. No, the other kind.
@Stephy_Leong tweeted: “wow i am finished at this Rachel Kolisi story. Homegirl needs to realize she is not married to Mindlos from the corner shop... a whole captain of the SA rugby team, that comes with stalkers and admirers and many other things.[sic]”

@NalediMashishi tweeted: “I don’t understand Rachel Kolisi. She has the ring, the house, the kids, all of but she’s acting insecure over a fan photo? No man.”
Rachel is no stranger to drama.
She slammed a fan for calling her husband after calling him her “type”.
Rachel said: “He’s not ‘a type’. He’s a married man responsible for 4 children... Just a side note. I’ve been there for all the good times. But I’ve also been there for ALL the bad times. Respect my relationship and woman to woman. Respect me [sic].”
