Zuki Lamani trends amid Rachel and Siya Kolisi’s divorce announcement
Social media users are saying that it’s influencer Zuki Lamani’s "time to shine" after Rachel and Siya Kolisi announced their divorce. Here’s why…

Zuki Lamani, the Cape Town influencer who was once criticized by Rachel Kolisi for being “thirsty” towards her spouse Siya, is trending following the shocking announcement of their divorce.
The pair has announced their split after eight years of marriage.
In 2018, the student went viral with her posts about meeting the rugby star, whom she said was her “celebrity crush.” Their meeting occurred shortly after Siya was announced as the first black Springbok captain.
ZUKI LAMANI TRENDS AMID SIYA AND RACHEL KOLISI’S DIVORCE.
On Tuesday, October 22, Siya and Rachel Kolisi revealed their separation and imminent divorce.
The pair married in 2016 and has two children, Nicholas and Keziah. Rachel also became the mother of Siya’s orphaned siblings, Liyema and Liphelo.
Although the news shocked South Africans, social media quickly exploded with opinion on what went wrong. Many X users mentioned Zuki Lamani, who Rachel herself criticized.

WHAT HAS SHE SAID IN PREVIOUS POSTS?
Zuki Lamani shared photos of her meeting with the great rugby player on Instagram in 2018. In the photo, the half-embracing couple gaze and smiles at each other.
“That Kolisi glow,” Zuki enthused about the married Springbok. In another, Zuku said Siya flirted back.
She captioned one Instagram Story: “So ubaby (Siya Kolisi) said ‘dammit’ as I was taking these pics. Then offered to snap photos of me with my phone while I was doing the session.”
The photos rapidly became viral, but for the wrong reasons. Zuki, who stated that Siya was her famous obsession, was implicitly labeled “thirsty” by his wife Rachel in a remark on the page.
