“He taught us manners, patience, kindness, and hardwork. He inspired us to cook. A man cooking back in 1987 was a novelty. A man washing his wife's clothes back then was unheard of. We met him when we were in our early teenage years, today we are in our mid and late 40's. He is still with his wife, mom, and living out this thing called life,” said Xolani.

He also commented on how aspirational the humour his step dad and mom shared.

“He came at a point when Sanele Majola (Sanele) and I were desperate for a father figure. Siyanda Ntanzi was lucky because he was born into this stability. Bab' Ray successfully moulded us into men you see and celebrate today,” he said.

He also joked about how laidback his parents were about meeting his girlfriends.

“A stepfather is a father, not a substitute. A stepfather is not half a man. A stepfather is a man and father with vision. Bab' Ray raised his blended family well, 5 boys and 1 girl, “ said a grateful Xolani.

Online users shared their loving message on the post:

Thobeka Conco said:
