Rachel Kolisi steps down as CEO of the Kolisi Foundation, embraces new journey! The Kolisi Foundation, founded by Siya and Rachel Kolisi in March 2020, has been a beacon of hope for addressing inequality in South Africa. However, following her split from Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, it appears that Rachel is stepping down from her role as the foundation’s CEO.
Rachel Kolisi’s Departure Confirmed
The news of Rachel’s departure was first shared on social media by the Justice Desk, an anti-gender-based violence (GBV) non-governmental organisation (NGO), on Friday, 28 February.
In their heartfelt post, Justice Desk expressed gratitude for Rachel’s contributions and bid her a warm farewell:
“We were saddened to hear that she will no longer be CEO of the Kolisi Foundation, but we know she will continue to do incredible things.”
Rachel herself subtly confirmed the news by removing ‘CEO of Kolisi Foundation’ from her Instagram bio. Her updated bio now reads: “Student, Mom, Speaker, and Director.”

While Rachel has not made an official statement about why she is stepping down, fans speculate that this marks a new chapter in her personal and professional life.
A New Chapter: Fitness and Healing
Since announcing her split from Siya, Rachel has been open about her healing journey, regularly sharing updates with her followers.
One of her latest projects is a 21-day fitness challenge, which she described as “simple, easy, and super effective.”
Rachel partnered with Jeff Fitness, a company that offers remote exercise guidance via its app. The fitness challenge is set to kick off on 10 March and aims to empower women through exercise.
She revealed that the inspiration behind this challenge came from women who have reached out to her sharing their stories of “heartbreak, loss, devastation, and disparity.”
“Almost always, they ask: where did you start your healing journey…? It was here. Exercising,” Rachel wrote in an Instagram caption.
A Symbol of Strength and Resilience
In the lead-up to the launch of her fitness challenge, Rachel shared a video of herself in training mode and later stunned fans with her appearance on the cover of Women’s Health magazine.
The magazine cover was seen as a symbolic moment for Rachel, reflecting her strength, resilience, and commitment to personal growth.

Throughout this transition, Rachel has received an outpouring of support from fans who appreciate her honesty and openness about the challenges she has faced.
Many took to the comments section of her social media posts to commend her for embracing change and prioritizing self-care.
While she may no longer be leading the Kolisi Foundation, Rachel remains a prominent public figure dedicated to inspiring and empowering others.
As she steps into this new chapter, it’s clear that Rachel Kolisi’s journey is far from over—she’s just getting started.
