Thembinkosi Mthembu celebrates fatherhood

Ahead of Father's Day on 15 June 2025, Thembinkosi Mthembu showed love to his dad and other present fathers with the help of men's fashion brand, POLITIX.

Taking to his Instagram page, the award-winning actor, admired for his role in Shaka iLembe, shared pictures with his dad wearing clothes from the premium Australian brand and reflected on his journey of fatherhood:
