Springbok captain Siya Kolisi is proving that he is a man of many talents.
The award-winning sportsman is not just good with a rugby ball and keeping his social media followers entertained with quirky captions, but now he might be good at acting too.
Siya stars in MultiChoice’s latest commercial for the DStv Explora Ultra in which he rounds up some of his fellow celebrity friends for what could only be described as putting together the perfect squad for a bank heist. Think “Money Heist” or “Oceans 12”.
In the commercial, Siya calls ‘friends’ like celebrity chef Siba Mtongana, actress Michelle Botes, Brad Binder and even English former professional footballer and television and radio personality, Ian Wright who he calls “bra Ian”.
