Online platform, MyNorthernCapeTV, has cast its impressive photography and videography initiative of Father Figure into the open by targeting a scenic out-of-studio location. The potency of this laudable move paid off handsomely amid more than expected daddies having shown up with their kids for some captured special moment at the popular and discerning Galeshewe eatery, Fusions Gardens. The event which was held past Sunday was aimed at celebrating fatherhood, encouraging networking and shared parental experiences amongst fathers.
Head honcho of MyNorthernCapeTV Motheo Seleke says their target was set on 10 fathers but managed to draw 16. “Our previous editions were studio based and now the success we have had with this outside studio photo and videography setting has encouraged us to stage more. It has been an encouraging experience and we are pleased to have contributed in curtailing the often spoken about negative narrative regarding irresponsible and unloving fathers.”

“The father figure initiative is great. There are not many platforms where dads can get together with their children and other dads in a social environment. It also has huge growth potential as it allows for the extension of friendship over a good meal from the safety of Fusions Gardens. Children are easy at making friends, so you bring your kid along and as father figures we learn from them how to make friends,” enchanted popular Kimberley resident Kurt Speelman who had brought his two sons along.
Seleke added that staging the event at a natural location such as Fusions Gardens was aimed at giving support to the father figure in Moses Mahumapelo who is the owner-cum-chef, promoting the establishment and exploiting its simplistic beauty that is adorned with natural plants and other greenery
