Siya Kolisi is on the list of the most influential people in the world by Time 100.
Siya Kolisi, the captain of the Springboks, who has won two Rugby World Cups, was included in TIME Magazine’s selection of the 100 most important people of 2024 on Wednesday.
Kolisi was named an “innovator” by TIME Magazine, joining a select group of worldwide athletes who have made a significant influence on the world stage in the last 12 months.
Kolisi won the hearts of millions when Springboks defeated the All Blacks 12-11 in the Rugby World Cup final in Paris, making him only the second man to captain his nation to consecutive championships.
On his Instagram feed, Kolisi expressed his thanks for the recognition.
“Being named to the 2024 #TIME100 list is an incredible honour, one that deeply humbles me. It’s a profound responsibility to stand alongside individuals who dedicate their lives to enriching others. This recognition isn’t just for me; it reflects the numerous individuals and communities who have poured into me and shaped me to be person I am and am becoming. I’m grateful to @time for highlighting the importance of compassion and service in our world. I look forward to getting my hands on the TIME100 issue when it’s released on Friday.”
