Do you still have a piece of your wedding cake?? We want a slice! 

For years, Rachel Kolisi stood at the centre of one of South Africa’s most powerful sporting stories. As the wife of Siya Kolisi, the captain who led the South Africa national rugby union team to global glory at the 2019 Rugby World Cup and again at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, she became what many called the “First Lady of South African rugby.”

But Rachel Kolisi was never just standing on the sidelines. Through charity work, public advocacy and the work of the Kolisi Foundation, she became a voice in her own right, visible, outspoken and deeply involved in the social impact work surrounding the Springbok story.

Then, last year, the story that had captured the imagination of a nation shifted. The end of one of the most high-profile relationships in South African sport sent shockwaves through fans who had followed their journey for years. Now, Rachel Kolisi is telling her side of the story.

In her memoir, Falling Forward, she opens up about life inside that global spotlight,  the pressure, the expectations, the personal cost of living a life watched by millions, and the strength it takes to rebuild when everything changes.

This isn’t just the story of a rugby family the world admired. It’s the story of a woman stepping forward, on her own terms, after the world thought it already knew the ending.

Rachel Kolisi Breaks Her Silence: The Story Behind Falling Forward

Yesterday on Anele and The Club, Anele told us about a random DM she received from a listener. It was a voice note from a woman asking for help with snacks and drinks for a baseball game.

The problem? Anele gets so many DMs that she completely forgot who sent it. So the team played the voice note on air and turned it into a full-on investigation to find the mystery woman behind the message. Listeners jumped in to help, messages started pouring in… and before long, we found her. Her name is Nicole.

Not only did Nicole come forward, but the story didn’t end there. Listeners, friends of the show, and some generous people stepped up and offered to donate snacks and drinks to help out.

What started as a random DM has now turned into a proper community moment, with people rallying together to make sure Nicole’s baseball crew is sorted.

Naledi, lives in a two-bedroom apartment where one wall is shared with her neighbour. Her neighbour has recently had a baby, and the infant cries throughout the night, leaving Naledi struggling to get proper rest. She’s wondering whether it would be insensitive to ask her neighbour to switch bedrooms to reduce the noise.

It’s a delicate situation, balancing consideration for a new parent with the need for personal rest and well-being. Listeners are invited to weigh in; what would they do in Naledi’s position?
