Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Springbok captain Siya Kolisi has been included in the list for 100 most influential people in the world by respected publication TIME magazine.<\/p>\n

Kolisi, who now plays for Racing 92 in France and led the Boks to World Cup glory for the second time in succession last year, is one of the most recognisable sports personalities in the world. Kolisi’s entry in the magazine’s prestigious TIME100 list was written by South African comedian and former host of the Daily Show in the US Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t really separate South Africa\u2019s history from rugby. Nelson Mandela once offered rugby as an olive branch between opposing sides of the country, so there\u2019s an immense amount of pride when it comes to the sport. It\u2019s like the connective tissue of the nation,\u201d Noah wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cSiya Kolisi, as the captain of the national rugby team, is right at the centre. He\u2019s been the embodiment of hope during a time in which many South Africans find it hard to hold on to any.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough political strife, an energy crisis, and the effects of Covid-19, Siya has made rugby into something more than just a competition. His multiple victories \u2014 the country\u2019s victories \u2014 have meant so much.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough his wisdom and humility, Siya has taught us what a powerful captain should be: someone who serves and inspires those he leads. And for him to lead a team in a historically white sport, to be loved and adored by fans of all races, is an immense achievement.<\/p>\n

\u201cSiya is an incessant warrior on the field, but he\u2019s also a doting dad, a loving husband, and a great friend. He\u2019s given so much to a nation of 62 million people. I hope he\u2019s been savouring every moment of his success.\u201d<\/p>\n
