In 2018, Kolisi made history by becoming the first black player to captain the Springboks in a Test match. His leadership was pivotal in South Africa’s triumph at the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan, where they defeated England 32–12 in the final, marking the nation’s third World Cup win. Kolisi’s captaincy was lauded for uniting a diverse team and inspiring a nation.
Beyond the field, Kolisi’s commitment to social issues is evident through the Kolisi Foundation, established in 2020 with his wife, Rachel. The foundation focuses on addressing inequality in South Africa, tackling issues like gender-based violence, food insecurity, and education, particularly in under-resourced areas such as Zwide.
