What made this party so special was the fact that Amani wanted to dress up for his party and he found his inspiration in the captain of the Springboks, Siya Kolisi.
Captain Kolisi came across the post and even reshared it on his own personal Instagram and was so impressed with the little man's costume.

But we reckon that it would be pretty great if they were all has humble, kind, and genuine as Mr Kolisi.
It's actually no surprise that Amani wanted to honour him in this way.
