Basetsana recalls how Siya Kolisi encouraged her hospitalized son, who has a strong interest in sports.
“Last year, our son Nathi who was in grade 11 was playing soccer and just as he was scoring a goal he tore his ACL. He loves his sport and is brilliant at it, whether it’s soccer, basketball, rugby, athletics. He was gutted, I was inconsolable,” she wrote.
“The prognosis was that he would not be able to be back on the sporting field for 10 months, so basically he has not been able to play sports during his matric year.”
Basetsana spoke to the Rugby player’s wife, Rachel Kolisi, and her wish was honored.
“I asked @rachelkolisi to ask @siyakolisi to send him a message of encouragement. In less than a day Nathi received the message and it helped him dig deep into his resolve to face this challenge head on. That’s the measure of the man that is our Captain and thank you once again, Rachel. You both are one of a kind. Blessings to your family,” she wrote.
