Siya calls to wear purple this Friday in support GBVF campaign
The Star
|November 19, 2025
SPRINGBOKS captain, Siya Kolisi, recently urged fans to wear purple on Friday, November 21, in support of the nationwide shutdown in protest against gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF) in South Africa.
On a trending video posted by @ QuilterNations on X, Kolisi shared that instead of wearing the usual green in support of the Springboks team, fans should rather wear purple to show support.
"And to the people at home, thank you for supporting us and wearing green every Friday. I know we have a big femicide in our country with gender-based violence.
"Next week Friday, you know women are in trouble and kids are in trouble and next week Friday - everybody normally wears green, but now I think we can change for purple.
"Purple next week Friday to stand with our women," Kolisi shared.
