Dad blogging has taken off in South Africa in recent years, as parents of every kind have called on the quirky wisdom of fathers to help them through the many challenges of raising tiny humans. Whether you are a parent or not, as we head deeper into 2019, the wise musings of dads could be exactly what you need to make it through. So, we have dug around the blogosphere to find the cream of crop for you. Here are our top daddy bloggers to follow this year. 

The Good, The Bad and The Daddy

Matthew Savides, AKA The Daddy, started his blog shortly after the birth of his daughter in 2016. He writes comical reviews on children’s cartoons, advice columns for new dads and incredibly honest accounts of the mistakes he has made as a first time parent. If your child is a devoted fan of the Teletubbies or Peppa Pig, this blog should be your go-to. Matthew also writes for TimesLIVE, Times Select and occasionally the Sunday Times.

Don Dinnematin is father to a three-year-old daughter and another on the way. He is also the creator of the #IncludeDads initiative. The campaign aims to have “Moms and Tots” parking signs at shopping centres changed to include dads. Over and above this, Don is a brand ambassador for #CarSeatFullStop, helping to raise awareness of the importance of car seats.

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.
