While dads stepping up is becoming more of a norm, it is still something new, especially in Mzansi and is truly commendable.

In related news, Briefly News reported that BI Phakathi, South Africa's faceless philanthropist, helped a dedicated loving father give his family a Christmas. The footage of the touching moment is heartbreaking but so fulfilling.

The festive season comes with a lot of financial pressure, especially for parents who want to give their children the world. It is soul-destroying for any parent to tell their child no when other children around them are getting gifts.
