When you are doing well, more likely than not, your name gets mentioned out there – you get shoutouts, like South Africa’s rugby captain Siya Kolisi has just gotten.
The South African was given a shoutout at the National Basketball Association (NBA). Looking back, it was a much-deserved recognition, as the Springbok’s captain has led his team to World Cup victory twice. His leadership and other qualities were recognised not just at home but abroad as well.
Siya’s name and image were plastered on Giant screens. The moment when South Africa won against New Zealand in the recently concluded Rugby World Cup was also captured, with the South African joining his teammates to celebrate the symbolic win.
At some point, he could be seen holding and celebrating with the cup. The post celebrating Siya resonated with many South Africans, who joined in celebrating one of their own and his achievement on the rugby field. You can check out the post below.
By the way, the latest wave of support from the NBA comes amid similar waves of appreciation for the captain back home. One thing most people never cease talking about in relation to him are his charisma and leadership qualities.
