TIME Magazine announced that Springbok captain Siya Kolisi has been recognised as one of the 100 Most Influential People of 2024.

, the 100-year-old American news magazine unveiled its annual list on Wednesday. Kolisi’s narrative, spanning from the hardships of the Zwide township to Rugby World Cup victory in 2019, initially caught the sporting world’s eye four years ago. Yet, it’s his humility, philanthropic efforts beyond the field, and his recent captaincy leading the Springboks to a record fourth World Cup title that have propelled him to global icon status.

Trevor Noah, an Emmy-award-winning comedian and fellow South African, authored Kolisi’s entry for TIME Magazine. The publication highlighted that ‘ has been the embodiment of hope during a time in which many South Africans find it hard to hold on to any.’ ‘It’s a profound responsibility to stand alongside individuals who dedicate their lives to enriching others.’
