Afro Daddy

Afro Daddy Terence Mentor is probably the most well-known South African daddy blogger. His two boys, born eighteen months apart, are often the inspiration behind his witty YouTube videos and blog posts. Terence has explained that the purpose of Afro Daddy is to celebrate the 'duality of parenting' - the fantastic, wonderful moments of parenthood, as well as the screaming awful ones. And, that's exactly what he does in his blog, as he embraces all the highs and the lows of being a 21st century parent.
