In May 2018
Siya Kolisi was named commander of the Springboks, the main dark test skipper
in the group's 128-year history. His appointment was recognized worldwide as a
pivotal moment in South African history.
The next year he left a mark on the
world again when he drove his group to triumph in the 2019 World Cup, beating
England in the last to turn into the first black captain of a World Cup-winning
side.
The publisher explained: “Kolisi’s life story will tell the extraordinary tale of a young boy from an impoverished township on the Eastern Cape who went on to guide the Springboks to their first World Cup final in 12 years and lift Rugby Union’s greatest prize. Born to teenage parents, Kolisi was raised by his grandmother after the death of his mother when he was just 15.”
“Aged 12 he won a rugby scholarship to a prestigious local school, despite speaking no English on arrival. A decade later Kolisi led his team to victory on the world stage in one of the most inspirational success stories in the sport’s history. Kolisi’s story is one of stoicism, unification, and self-belief.”

Siya Kolisi Said
“There are so many parts of my story that haven’t been told and I feel it’s the perfect time to share these with the hope of inspiring and motivating anyone who has ever faced adversity. It was so important to me that my story was told from my account and with the right publishing group. I’m thrilled to partner with HarperCollins on a creative project that we can both be proud of.”
Malcolm added: “It is an immense personal and professional privilege to be working on this publication. Siya Kolisi has not simply won a Rugby World Cup, but proven to future generations that anything is possible.”
