A heartwarming highlight came at the end of their getaway when Rachel gave her sister-in-law, Liphelo – Siya Kolisi’s younger sister – her first driving lesson. The moment, filled with laughter, encouragement, and the occasional gasp, became a memorable rite of passage for Liphelo.

Rachel’s gentle guidance and patient support as Liphelo took the wheel for the first time showed a close family bond that resonated with Rachel’s followers, many of whom were touched by this intimate family milestone.

The Kolisis have been at the centre of media attention since Rachel and Siya’s unexpected separation announcement, which left fans wondering about the reasons behind South Africa’s beloved couple’s split.
