As South Africa marks Father’s Day on Sunday, several local celebrities are paying tribute to the fathers and father figures who have shaped their lives.
From heartfelt messages of gratitude to reflections on complicated family bonds, their stories highlight the enduring impact of fatherhood.
Jacaranda FM breakfast host Martin Bester says this year’s Father’s Day is particularly special as he gets to spend time with his father, who lives in the Great Karoo in the Eastern Cape.
“I don’t get to see my dad as often as I’d like to, but this year I’m very lucky because I get to spend some time with him ahead of Father’s Day,” Bester says.
He describes his father as an active man who still runs his pub and enjoys regular fishing trips to the coast.
