Businesswoman Rachel Kolisi is gushing with pride after helping her eldest daughter Liphelo Madlingozi with her first matric dance.

A beaming Rachel shared a video of Liphelo’s grand reveal of her dress on TikTok. Rachel stands beside a white Mercedes Benz and opens her arms as she kneels awaiting Liphelo’s entrance.

The 17-year-old then appears dressed in a black boob tube dress with a daring slit. In one of her Instagram Stories, Rachel revealed that her stylist Gina Berret of Style Rotate was assisting with Liphelo’s matric dance look.

Rachel’s video has already amassed 1 million views on TikTok, with many praising the relationship between Rachel and Liphelo.

Shiemzah said: “Oh mama Rachel, she looked beautiful. Congratulations mama and Phelo. ♥️♥️♥️May God bless your bond forever”.

Lerato wadi Dubai scent said: “Ooooh Rachel ❤️❤️❤️🥺🥺🥺 this is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen on the internet today ❤️”

Azlyn said: “U guys are gorgeous 🥰 beautiful phelo. Hope u didn’t fall 🥺and had a great night🥰”

In a separate video, Liphelo and Rachel discuss the big night, expectations, not wanting to fall and Rachel wanting to cry. 

“Phelo’s about to go to her first ever matric dance,” begins Rachel as she fake cries in the video.

The businesswoman and her estranged husband Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, adopted his younger siblings Liphelo and Liyema. In October last year, Rachel and Siya announced that they would be getting divorced and remain committed partners in raising their children.
