People used to ask me why I’m always the one at clinic with the baby. ❤️
Here’s why: Her mom is at university right now, building something bigger for our family. She’s in lecture halls, writing tests, chasing a degree. And while she’s doing that, someone has to make sure our daughter’s Road to Health booklet gets filled, that the vaccines happen on time, that she’s safe and warm.
So that someone is me.
I sit on this wooden bench with her asleep on my chest, her little pink onesie all bunched up, clinic card in my hand. I used to think fatherhood was about providing from far away. Now I know it’s about showing up close. It’s the questions I ask the nurse. It’s learning which way she likes to be held. It’s being the calm when she cries.
And here’s what I want every father reading this to hear:
Your child doesn’t need you to be rich. They don’t need you to have all the answers. They need your arms. They need you to know their clinic dates. They need you to love them without making it complicated.
While her mom studies for all of us, I get the privilege of loving her through every fever, every vaccine, every quiet moment on this bench.
Brothers, step up. Hold your babies. Learn the clinic schedule. Change the nappy. Sing off-key. Love them loudly.

Congratulations on South Africa’s iconic Garden Route being ranked as the world’s best road trip. Stretching along the country’s southern coast, this breathtaking route is renowned for its unique blend of ocean vistas, lush forests and vibrant communities.
My Dad’s WhatsApp got hacked and the person was urgently asking for R5000 into a Capitec account. Checked the banking details and it’s a Capitec verified account. So please @CapitecBankSA how do you help and deal with this?
We plan, but God decides. So lift your head. Stop looking down.
God didn’t call you to be liked, He called you to be light!
And light, by its very nature, makes darkness uncomfortable. So if you’ve been feeling stretched or misunderstood… maybe it’s because you’re shining exactly where you’re meant to.
Remember, when God’s favor rests on your life, no one can stop it. No devil in hell. No human here on earth.

I respect and appreciate the emotional work our generation is trying to do. But I also can’t ignore what I see. We, and by extension the children born out of us are far more emotionally fragile than the generation that raised us.
We collapse at the slightest inconvenience, strife, or disappointment. Every discomfort feels like a crisis.
Our parents endured things that would send most of us straight into shutdown mode, yet they still showed up, built families, went to work, and kept households standing often with very little or no language for feelings, but an abundance of grit.
So yes, healing matters. Emotional awareness matters. But so does resilience. And in that department, we pale in comparison.
I salute the die-hard, stubborn, unglamorous, vok-vok makunyiwe resilience of our parents’ generation.
Let’s build our resilience asseblief. Life favours the resilient.
Having lived with depression, anxiety and ADHD for as long as I can remember, people often ask me for one piece of advice. I always say, I am no psychiatrist or psychologist and therefore I do not qualify to offer any advice however if I were to be cornered to pick one area I feel one should pay particular attention to, it would be finances. Not because money cures mental illness, but because financial stress multiplies everything you are already battling.
If you learn to live within the limitations of your pocket , avoid unnecessary debt and say, NO I can’t afford that right now, your stress levels drop, your brain breathes, and you free up the strength to deal with the inevitable emotional chaos of these debilitating conditions.
Money is not the cause of mental illness, and being financially stable doesn’t exempt anyone. But, to be honest with you, financial pressure intensifies depression, it heightens anxiety and sends ADHD into overdrive.
Financial ‘hygiene’ won’t fix everything, but it will stabilise you. Sometimes that stability is enough to help you fight the rest.
