About Father’s Day
Father figures are important in the South African culture and South Africa joins the rest of the world in commemorating Father’s Day each year. The history of Father’s Day dates back to the early 1900s and it is credited to Sonora Smart Dodd of Washington, whose father was a civil war veteran and raised her and her five siblings following the death of their mother at childbirth. President Richard Nixon of the USA declared the 3rd Sunday of June as Father’s Day in the US and Father’s Day commemorations have since spread across to other countries.
