In a heartwarming display of family support and life lessons, philanthropist Rachel Kolisi recently went viral after sharing a poignant moment involving Siya Kolisi's sister, Liphelo Madlingozi. The clip captures the young adult navigating her feelings about a budget exercise for the year 2026, and her reaction sparked quite the conversation online.
Despite her ongoing divorce from the Springbok captain, Rachel maintains a strong bond with Siya's family and is keen on empowering the next generation. On January 9, 2026, Rachel posted a TikTok video where she engaged with 18-year-old Phelo, asking how she felt about their budgeting session.
To Rachel's surprise, Phelo's disappointment was palpable as she confessed:
"It's not enough money."
The budget in question reportedly fell short of her previous monthly earnings, a reality that left the teenager feeling overwhelmed. Rachel, however, emphasized the importance of this financial exercise, stating:
"We're preparing her for adulthood because it's important to run your own budget and have a plan."

One commenter, @elsjebh, praised Rachel's efforts, saying:
"You are teaching her how to budget, well done. It's called life skills."
Others chimed in, sharing personal anecdotes about their own financial experiences. @estervanster remarked:
"I wish I had a budget as a teen, yoh. My parents don't even know how I got through university."
Support continued to pour in for Rachel's initiative, with @aakifahabrahams_ emphasizing:
"This is so important to do; so many adults in South Africa are financially illiterate."
Even with the criticisms, some fans humorously sided with Phelo, like @babykamva, who joked:
"I’m on Phelo’s side."
