A study on absent fathers at the University of Johannesburg found that South Africa has an exceptionally high number of absent fathers with approximately half of the children in the country living without daily contact with their fathers.

And 20% only have contact with their biological father twice a week. As we celebrate Fathers day today, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Patrick Godana of Sonke Gender Justice to unpack the role of fathers and how society benefits from present fathers
