From tandem cycling, to ice-cream and burger dates, and simply just spending time together, our celebrity dads shared a glimpse into their precious moments with their bundle of joy in celebration of Father's Day. 

This year marks Siya Kolisi's first Father's Day as a single dad, and he shared his weekend with his children alongside his colleague and friend Cheslin Kolbe.

Sizwe Alakine, who has two children with his ex-wife, Mosa Moeketsi, and twin daughters with radio personality LootLove, also took to his timeline to share his moments with his children. 

I prayed countless times for a Father's Day like this. To be surrounded by the pure uncut love of my children. Together. Aaaah man. What a feeling. Ngiyabonga Mdali,” he captioned the post.

Soccer star Sphiwe Given Msimango celebrated his first Father's Day after welcoming his first child in May. 

Happy 1st Father’s Day to the love of my life ... You are the epitome of what a real dad is. Watching you become a father has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Your patience, love and guidance inspire me every day. You make this journey so easy and I’m so grateful for all you do for us. We love you,” Sphiwe's wife Bontle wrote to him in a joint Instagram post. 

Other celebs went on to pen heartfelt notes to the fathers in their lives.
