Synopsis

Siya Kolisi, the captain of South Africa’s national rugby team, is an example of the power of hope and persistence. Here, in moving detail, he discusses his childhood growing up in the small impoverished township of Zwide, and how he overcame the challenges presented to him and embarked on the extraordinary journey that led to captaining the Springboks to World Cup glory. Grounded by his family, he acknowledges the responsibility that comes with being a father, husband and sportsperson, while advocating for equality and diversity on a broader scale. Kolisi’s story is an inspiring reminder to take the opportunities presented to you, and to stay positive no matter what hurdles life throws in your way.
