After New Zealand triumphed 33-16 in Johannesburg last Saturday, the hosts cannot afford to lose if they are to retain any hope of winning the four-match series.
Springboks head coach Rassie Erasmus left it late before confirming that inspirational skipper Kolisi would feature following his recovery from a hamstring injury.
Pieter-Steph du Toit had been provisionally announced as captain, with the flanker set to make his 100th Test appearance in Cape Town.
Kolisi is one of four changes to the South Africa XV, with fellow two-time World Cup winner Handre Pollard recalled at fly-half, while Ethan Hooker and Cobus Reinach start at wing and scrum-half respectively.
The four players to drop out are injured duo Cheslin Kolbe and Grant Williams, Paul de Villiers and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, who struggled at fly-half in the first Test.
New Zealand capitalised on the 24-year-old's difficult afternoon and ran in five tries at Ellis Park, with prolific wing Will Jordan crossing twice to take his Test tally to 53.
Fellow wing Josh Moorby also scored a try but drops out of the XV, as Leroy Carter steps up.
Head coach Dave Rennie has made two further changes, with George Bower and Simon Parker replacing forwards Ethan de Groot and Josh Lord, who are both still undergoing Head Injury Assessment (HIA) protocols.
The All Blacks are playing at DHL Stadium for just the second time, having lost the previous meeting here 18-12 in 2024, but have a good record against South Africa in Cape Town, winning on seven of their 11 visits.
