Rachel Kolisi’s Toyota Yaris Turns Heads and Hearts

Rachel Kolisi, ex-wife of Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, has made headlines for swapping her luxury ride for the humble charm of a Toyota Yaris.

Known for her down-to-earth style, the 35-year-old mother of two has embraced life’s curveballs with her signature humour and grace.

In an Instagram post shared last Friday, 30 May, Rachel offered a light-hearted look into her current lifestyle, sharing how she now drives an older Toyota Yaris affectionately nicknamed “Betsy”.

Once used to cruising in Mercedes-Benzes and Land Rovers, she’s proven you don’t need luxury to live with style – just a sense of humour.

“Life has a funny way of humbling you just when you think you’ve got it all figured out. One day you’re riding high, the next you’re asking a friend to borrow their spare car and Googling ‘how to parallel park a Yaris with dignity’,” she said jokingly in the now-deleted post.

Since announcing her split from Siya last year, Rachel has faced personal challenges with resilience. The car switch has sparked online conversations, with some supporters cheering her on, and others questioning the support she’s receiving from Siya.

Yet her clear-eyed humour and honesty resonate with many who admire her strength.

Rachel’s journey from high-profile sports personality spouse to a more relatable, grounded version of herself is a reminder that sometimes the best stories involve a little Yaris named “Betsy” and a lot of personal strength.
