Known for his prowess on the rugby field, Kolisi took a break from the sports spotlight to show that his talents extend far beyond athleticism – he's got 'moves like Jagger'!
The charismatic Rugby World Cup winner made waves on social media as he shared snippets from his trip, capturing the hearts of his followers.
His Instagram posts chronicled not only the wedding festivities but also his adventures in the vibrant Andes nation.
From the first step off the plane to stepping onto the dance floor, Kolisi immersed himself in all that Peru has to offer.
'@majo.byla ❤️ @nic_holton91 so excited to share this day with you 🇵🇪 🇿🇦,' he captioned the picture with the newlyweds, embodying the spirit of camaraderie and celebration.
But it was his dance showcase that truly turned heads with an infectious energy that even a hundred push-ups couldn't rival.
The wedding, nestled in the stunning landscapes of Peru, served up not only a feast of love but a backdrop fit for a postcard.
Kolisi was seen breaking it down on the dance floor, an exuberant fusion of rhythmic flair and a hint of South African swag – it's what made it all the more charming.
As clips of his enthusiastic moves went viral, there was no question: the man is not just an inspirational captain but an entertainer too!
While the wedding was undoubtedly a highlight of Kolisi's trip, he also seized the opportunity to explore the enchanting sights of Peru.
Clad in a striking grey poncho, he revelled in local life, playing football with locals – a heart-warming display of sport transcending any barriers.
In moments captured on camera, he could be seen striking a pose alongside a woman in traditional clothing, holding a baby goat that surely would have melted even the coldest of hearts. Talk about delightful!
Showing his commitment to embracing local culture, Kolisi took some time during his adventures to learn some phrases in Español.
'🇵🇪❤️ 🦙 my Spanish sounds very Xhosa but we Vamos 😂,' he confessed in a post.
It's clear that his journey was not just a visit; it was a vibrant exchange of cultures and experiences.
Peru, known for its rich history, diverse culture, and majestic landscapes, provided the perfect backdrop for Kolisi's South African spirit to thrive.
With jaw-dropping sights like the iconic Machu Picchu and the lush Amazon rainforest, it's no wonder that tourists flock to this remarkable destination, one where the blend of ancient and modern creates an irresistible charm.
With Peru described as 'a truly enriching travel experience' and judging by Kolisi's escapades, he certainly soaked up all the cultural richness the country had to offer.

McLaren extend their lead, But Verstappen steals the spotlight
Obakeng Meletse | Published 8 hours ago McLaren's dominance of the 2025 Formula One season is quickly becoming the norm, as the Woking-based outfit stretched their lead in both championships once again. But despite Oscar Piastri's commanding fifth win of the season handing him a ten-point lead at the top of the world drivers' championship, it was Max Verstappen who stole the headlines after a controversial end to the Spanish Grand Prix. Piastri now leads the standings with 186 points, closely followed by teammate Lando Norris on 176. The pair have consistently outpaced the field this season, leaving only Verstappen (137 points) as a distant challenger — though his hopes took a serious hit in Barcelona. Verstappen's race unravelled late after a collision with George Russell earned him a 10-second penalty, demoting him to 10th place. The Red Bull driver had already expressed frustration with his tyre strategy — concerns that proved justified when the race resumed on lap 64 of 66 following a late safety car. Struggling for grip on hard tyres, Verstappen was quickly overtaken by Charles Leclerc for third place. Moments later, Russell attempted a move on the Dutchman into Turn 1, leading to contact. Verstappen was instructed by his team to yield the position, and although he appeared to comply, he slowed erratically and made contact with Russell again — a move that seemed deliberate. Though both cars escaped major damage, the incident raised eyebrows. Verstappen's aggressive defense and controversial retaliation arguably warranted a harsher penalty. That he still finished in the points despite such conduct left many questioning whether the punishment fit the offense. Charles Leclerc produced another standout performance for Ferrari, finishing third despite being outqualified by teammate Lewis Hamilton for just the second time this season. It marked Leclerc's third podium of 2025, while Hamilton continues to chase his first. While Ferrari may lack outright pace compared to McLaren and Mercedes, Leclerc has consistently delivered strong results. He's made fewer mistakes, extracted more from the car, and has been a key factor in Ferrari holding second in the Constructors' Championship — just six points clear of a resurgent Mercedes team. Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, brings immense experience and pedigree to Ferrari. But so far, it's Leclerc who's set the standard, quietly proving himself as the team's true leader. Few rookies have turned heads this season like Isack Hadjar. Alongside fellow debutant Kimi Antonelli, Hadjar has impressed with his maturity and pace — despite a difficult debut that saw him crash out in Australia. Since then, Hadjar has bounced back with resilience, collecting 21 points and outperforming teammate Yuki Tsunoda, who continues to struggle with the unpredictable RB16. Tsunoda's inconsistency has only strengthened the case for Hadjar, who now finds himself in contention for a more prominent role within the Red Bull system. At just 20-years old, Hadjar is not only showing promise — he's making a strong argument for a future seat at the senior team. With McLaren surging ahead, Verstappen under scrutiny, Ferrari balancing internal dynamics, and fresh talent rising through the ranks, the 2025 season is far from decided. As the paddock heads to Canada next, the pressure is mounting — and every point will matter.

Kaizer Chiefs: Zlatan's club loses SA wonderkid to Naturena
Kaizer Chiefs have pulled off a quiet but significant coup by bringing back gifted teenage midfielder Steven Mendes from Hammarby Fotboll in Sweden. The 17-year-old, who left Naturena last year to join the academy of the Allsvenskan side, has returned to South Africa and is set to rejoin Chiefs' DStv Diski Challenge squad. According to iDiski Times , Mendes made an early impact in Sweden, adjusting well to life in Stockholm and impressing with his sharp technical skills. But now, the youngster is back where it all began, ready to continue his development in a Nedbank Cup-winning Chiefs environment. Hammarby IF, steeped in tradition and based in the heart of Stockholm, are one-time Swedish champions and five-time Svenska Cupen finalists. With Zlatan Ibrahimović holding a 23.5% ownership stake, the club has enjoyed global attention and rising expectations. Despite the prestige and opportunity, Mendes has opted for a return to South African football. His time in Europe has sharpened his talent, but home soil now offers the platform to shine brighter. Known for his technical ability and powerful shooting, Mendes has built a reputation for scoring 'anything but ordinary' goals. 'Those who have watched Mendes in action describe his goals as anything but ordinary,' notes a source, underlining the excitement surrounding his return. Back at Chiefs, the midfielder is expected to be a key figure in the Diski Challenge squad, who recently lifted the title for the first time since the reserve league's inception. With the South African national team preparing for U17 and U20 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Mendes will aim to catch the selectors' eyes once more. His European experience gives him an edge, and Chiefs will hope to mould him into a future first-team star. Is this a good move for Kaizer Chiefs and Mendes?

Mamelodi Sundowns to hijack Kaizer Chiefs target in transfer twist
Mamelodi Sundowns are wasting no time preparing for the 2025/2026 season, with the club setting their sights on Stellenbosch FC's standout defender, Fawaaz Basadien. While they've confirmed they won't dip into the special transfer window, closing on 10 June, for the FIFA Club World Cup, the league champions are already making decisive moves behind the scenes. According to Soccer Laduma , Sundowns have surged ahead of rivals Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates in the race to secure Basadien's signature. The left-back, recently crowned Stellenbosch's Player of the Season, currently features in the national squad for friendlies against Tanzania and Mozambique. A source suggests he's now 'open to a new challenge, with Gauteng calling his name.' Basadien's experience with Stellenbosch FC and Bafana Bafana makes him a valuable asset for Sundowns. His exposure to continental competition positions him as an ideal reinforcement for coach Miguel Cardoso, who is aiming to lead the club back to CAF dominance. 'Sundowns want Basadien,' confirmed a source. 'He's gained continental experience and fits what they need. Chiefs still think they have a chance, but what I'm hearing is that Fawaaz will join Sundowns.' The pursuit signals Sundowns' intent to strengthen their squad with proven local talent, especially as they aim to build momentum after the Club World Cup. With Basadien potentially arriving at Chloorkop, changes are expected in Sundowns' defensive line-up. Terrence Mashego is reportedly on his way out, despite news about the club triggering a contract extension clause. Stellenbosch FC have shown strong interest in the left-back, intensifying speculation around his future. 'So you saw the reports of Sundowns triggering (Terrence) Mashego's contract,' the source added. 'Also they got Divine Lunga, (Aubrey) Modiba, and the boy from Sekhukhune United (Asekho Tiwani). Now they want Basadien, where will he play?' While some clubs scramble during the short transfer window, Sundowns are operating with quiet efficiency. Their early moves hint at a broader strategy to solidify their dominance in South African football and prepare for another strong continental campaign. Their ability to attract a player of Basadien's calibre, while fending off Soweto giants, underlines their continued pulling power. If the deal is completed post-Club World Cup, it could prove one of the defining transfers of the upcoming season. Should Basadien go to Mamelodi Sundowns with all the competition in his position?
