Thabiso Mokhethi on how he supported his daughter Thabisa

Speaking exclusively to Briefly News, the actor attributed his daughter's impressive success to several things, including him being a present dad. He said:

"I believe that I supported Thabisa throughout her journey by being a present dad from day 1 when I found her first primary school. I have driven Thabisa every morning to school and after school. I was present at every assembly and sporting activity. So I believe that before they even got to Matric, the support began with me being a present father."

He added:

"And then how I supported her when it comes to matric is that I suspended all her house chores, they were taken over by her siblings and what they couldn’t do I did so that she was under no pressure and she had to focus on the important tasks such as studying and revising, also ensuring that she got enough rest, and Thabisa loves a good sleep. So we created an environment that allowed her to create her own schedule.

"Thabisa and I also prayed together, asking God to open her mind and help her retain the information she was receiving."

Thabiso Mokheti advised parents whose children are preparing for their Matric exams. He said:

"And to the parents for their children writing their matric this season, I would say start reminding them now that they shouldn’t only study next year, but should be revising everything they are studying now so that when study time comes, they won’t try to cram anything, but they would revise what they studied throughout the year."

Social media users shared hearty congratulatory messages to Thabisa for making her father and family proud. Many also wished the young star well in her future endeavours.
