Did you know?  

Father’s Day began with a daughter’s love. In 1910, Sonora Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington, wanted to honour her dad — a Civil War veteran who raised six children alone. Her heartfelt idea sparked a tradition now celebrated worldwide! While Mother’s Day caught on quicker, Father’s Day officially became a U.S. holiday only in 1972. So, on Father’s Day, as you fire up the braai or share a hug, remember: this day was born from love, respect, and one extraordinary dad. #HappyFathersDay!
