Springbok captain Siya Kolisi recently swapped the rugby field for a café counter, serving matcha to surprised customers at Nice to Matcha in Cape Town.

This unexpected appearance has since gone viral on TikTok, showcasing Kolisi's support for local businesses and his friendly personality.

A TikTok video posted by user Jess Daruvala captures the moment Kolisi, donning a casual demeanour, stands behind the counter preparing matcha drinks.

When Daruvala playfully asks if this is his new side hustle, Kolisi casually responds with a warm smile, stating, "I'm just supporting my friend."

Kolisi’s always been known for being super down-to-earth, and this just proves it even more.

Plus, Nice to Matcha is already a pretty popular spot in Cape Town, famous for its speciality matcha drinks, so this little cameo definitely put them in the spotlight even more.

But this time, he took it to the next level by actually stepping behind the counter.

Kolisi's involvement not only highlights his down-to-earth nature but also emphasises the importance of supporting local businesses.

Kolisi is often spotted engaging with his fans off the field.
