Who is the current South African rugby captain?

Siyamthanda Kolisi OIG, (born 16 June 1991) is a South African professional rugby union player who currently captains the South African national team and also the Cell C Sharks.

This summer the Springboks took another step forwards when they appointed their first black captain, Siya Kolisi. Chiliboy Ralepelle had led South Africa in a midweek game against a World XI in 2006 but Kolisi is the first to do it in a full Test. When Rassie Erasmus announced the appointment, the Springbok coach said Kolisi’s blackness was incidental. But it was also inescapable.

The very next day Desmond Tutu came out of his retirement from public life to talk about it. “The appointment,” Tutu said, “is a wonderful achievement that makes us walk very tall. It speaks to the hope we felt 24 years ago that we were developing a special society in which the cream would rise to the top regardless of colour or class.” He added, in Afrikaans: “Thank you, Rassie, for your wise decision.”
