Rachel Kolisi shows her support for hubby Siya and the Springboks

Rachel Kolisi and the rest of the Kolisi family are settling in nicely to life in Paris and Rachel has been showing her support for hubby Siya and the Springboks by soaking up the sun.

The Kolisi family have been in France for nearly a month and, after getting the tourist and sightseeing duties out the way, they are now living like locals.

They moved to France for Siya’s big move to French rugby club Racing 92, whom he is set to join after the World Cup which is currently being held in France.

Since then, Rachel has taken to her Instagram to give fans an update on the family and their current situation. Their children, Nicholas and Keziah, just finished their first week of school last week, which she described as a “living in a tornado”.

“Guys. Wowzer. We made it through first week of school. Mostly feel like I’m living in a tornado, but everyone is good and healthy!”

For some downtime after the difficult week, Rachel decided to soak up the rays and hit the beach, sporting a South African flag bikini, while the children enjoyed the white sand and cool waters.

In what proved to be a great end to the weekend, the family watched Siya lead the Springboks out for their first game of the Rugby World Cup as they defeated Scotland 18-3 on Sunday evening.

How South Africa’s Kwaito pioneers built a blueprint for generations of artists
