June is a month where we get to celebrate and honour fathers who are doing amazingly well raising their kids and serving as father figures to others close and far from them.

It is a common thing for children to find themselves in similar career paths as their parents due to the talent that genetically got passed on to them or as a result of how much they look up to them.South Africa has quite a few young celebrities who just like their parents have followed a career path in the limelight.In celebration of father’s, we feature five male celebrities whose fathers are popular brands.

Recently, Pastors Inno and Phindulo Sadiki celebrated their 13-year wedding anniversary. Actress Sthoko from Skeem Saam is constantly thankful to God for her long marriage to her husband and the kids they have.

The Skeem Saam actress shared a clip from their wedding day when they were celebrating their 13th anniversary. She wrote: “22-year-old me and 27-year-old husband in 2010.

In another separate post, Innocent Chipa Sadiki expressed how she found her “happily ever after.” She took to her Instagram account and wrote, “13 years married today. Cheers to the guy I love most in the whole wide world! Thank you, Lord, for our love. I’m blessed to have found my forever yena. I love you, Bubu. To many more years of crazy love,” she wrote. The actress and her husband are pastors in real life. Most of their time is spent doing God’s work. In 2023, the two announced that Innocent would head one of the church’s new branches after she was appointed senior pastor.

Even though Innocent always believed she was “called to lead,” she said that appointment caught her off guard, according to TshisaLIVE.Ezoic“It’s difficult to answer this question because I have no doubt God has called me, but to lead a church is different for me. God took me by surprise. When I said I’m available to be used by Him, I didn’t know He would take it this far. However, I understand the assignment very well. I’m here on earth for a deeper purpose, my life is in His hands. So where He leads me, I will follow,” said Innocent.
