In 2023, Kolisi led the Springboks to a record fourth Rugby World Cup title, with the team becoming only the second one to retain the trophy after winning the title in 2019.

The list includes people that the magazine believes"most changed the stories that define the past year".

In a write-up on Kolisi, South African comedian Trevor Noah said the Springbok captain was"the embodiment of hope during a time in which many South Africans find it hard to hold on to any," referring to life in South Africa after the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing energy crisis, and the country's political strife.

"Through his wisdom and humility, Siya has taught us what a powerful captain should be: someone who serves and inspires those he leads. And for him to lead a team in a historically white sport, to be loved and adored by fans of all races, is an immense achievement," Noah wrote.
