"Ahhhh Dlangamandla!
To the best dad in the entire Universe
I have so many stories to tell about my dad but today I'll tell you this one. Once my dad tried to call me and I was busy so I missed his call.
He called my chaperone and then proceeded to call my boss at the time, the director of Miss South Africa
At this point so many people are blowing up my phone so I stop to return his call because now I'm panicking thinking something must have gone wrong at home
I call him and he says "MamTolo, I just wanted to check if you got the joke I sent you on whatsapp" You guys, he was calling me for the 3rd time that day.
You should have seen how I ran out of that studio to call him back thinking it was a matter of life and death.
And it's not even just me, he does this to all of my sisters and keeps the same energy! To be fair though he's returning the favor.
When I was a kid, I used to keep a container of 50cent coins reserved specially for him.
He worked far in the big city (Cape Town) so whenever I got a distinction and a star for a test I would run so fast to the public phones to call
him to tell him about how I had made top 3 in my 4th grade class. I loved to hear the pride in his voice just as much as I still do now.
Happy Father's Day Tolo! Vumba lempongo liyanuka"
