Father’s Day is celebrated in South Africa on the third Sunday of June. It is an important day for fathers and their families, as it gives them a chance to spend quality time together and celebrate the unique bond between father and child.
It’s a day where we take the time to acknowledge and thank our fathers for all they do for us, as well as celebrate their lives and contributions to society. It’s also a day when we can learn more about our fathers and their backgrounds, and celebrate them as individuals!
In South Africa, Father’s Day is not just about celebrating our own fathers—it’s also a day to honor all fathers in the country. This includes stepfathers, grandfathers, uncles, adoptive fathers, etc. Many people will choose to spend time with these other father figures in addition to spending time with their biological father(s).
How to Celebrate the Fathers Day
There are many ways to celebrate Father’s Day in South Africa. The most common way is with a family dinner at home or at a restaurant. Other popular activities include taking dad out for a round of golf or treating him to his favorite meal at a restaurant he loves.
It’s also common for children to make gifts for their dads using things like paper plates covered with paint and decorated with glitter or stickers. Some other ways kids can show their love are writing letters or poems or drawing pictures.
South Africans also take part in an annual “Father’s Day Walk” on this day, which raises money for charity while allowing families an opportunity to spend some time together outside of the house.
The most popular way to celebrate Father’s Day in South Africa is with a picnic or barbecue. It’s important to remember that although it’s a celebration of fathers and fatherhood, you should treat this day like any other holiday: with family and friends!
A special way to celebrate Father’s Day
It’s time to celebrate the men in our lives—the ones who we love, who love us back, and who are always there for us, no matter what. They’re the ones that make us feel safe, and they’re the ones that we can be ourselves around.
