RACHEL AND SIYA KOLISI LEGALLY ADOPTED HIS SIBLINGS

Siya has two half-siblings Liyema and Liphelo. The siblings were reportedly left bouncing from orphanages to foster homes after their mother and father passed away. Siya and Rachel officially adopted his siblings in 2014, when they were financially stable enough to do so.

Siya reportedly found his siblings in foster care in Zwide – a township in Gqeberha. Siya explained that when he went to see his siblings, his sister didn’t know him.

“My little sister didn’t know me. She had been crawling when I last saw her. I told the woman taking care of them that I was going to take them for December holidays that year, which I did. But afterwards I said I can’t send them back,” he said according to reports.

“I had to go through a legal process, which I started after that holiday. It took about 18 months, but I finally legally adopted them,” he continued.

It’s been 12 years since Rachel and Siya adopted Liyema and Liphelo. Back in 2024, Rachel reflected on it being 10 years with the brother and sister duo.

“While celebrating Liphelo’s birthday last week, and having all 4 kids home for the weekend, we reflected on the fact that almost to the day, 10 years ago, Liphelo and Liyema came to spend a week with us in Cape Town to see that they were comfortable to make the move and come stay with us forever,” she wrote.

“I was 24 years old Nic was 3 months old, Liphelo had just turned 7 and Liyema 12. 10 years, of the greatest gift God could have ever given me,” she continued.
