Between laughs, he invited Ezeli to visit South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>The star power didn\u2019t stop there. Two-time Grammy Award winner Tyla was also in attendance, flying the South African flag high on the global stage. And among the crowd were global leaders including Barack Obama and Michelle Obama<\/p>\n<p>For Siya it was about the experience. South Africa\u2019s captain, leader and icon simply enjoying the moment like a kid in a candy store? That might have been the best highlight of all.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h6><em>Sources: Various Linked Above\u00a0<\/em><\/h6>\n<h6><em>Don\u2019t ever miss the Good Things.
