WATCH: Jesse Clegg remembers his father in song on what would've been Johnny Clegg's 72nd birthday
Jesse sang Johnny Clegg & Juluka and Sipho Mchunu's Inkunzi Ayihlabi Ngokumisa, as he wished his father a posthumous happy birthday. A week before the rest of the country celebrates their dads on Father's Day, singer-songwriter Jesse Clegg paid tribute to his father, singer Johnny Clegg, on what would've been his 72nd birthday. Doing his rendition of Johnny Clegg & Juluka and Sipho Mchunu's Inkunzi Ayihlabi Ngokumisa, Jesse wished his father a posthumous happy birthday. Happy birthday Dad. A song for you. This is a beautiful old Juluka song that I've listened to since I was a child. It's always felt like a lullaby to me and brings me home – to you, to our family, to all we've lost and still hold close. Rest easy Dad, we miss you ❤️ — Jesse Clegg (@Jesse_Clegg) June 7, 2025 'This is a beautiful old Juluka song that I've listened to since I was a child. It's always felt like a lullaby to me and brings me home – to you, to our family, to all we've lost and still hold close. Rest easy Dad, we miss you,' wrote Jesse. The ditty is part of Johnny Clegg & Juluka and Sipho Mchunu's Universal Men album, which was released in 1979—about nine years before the now 36-year-old Jesse was born. Clegg died at the age of 66 in 2019 after losing a four-year battle with pancreatic cancer. ALSO READ: Johnny Clegg: Rebel, intellectual, musician Clegg legacy alive and well Jesse has previously spoken about how emotional he gets when performing his father's songs, particularly Cruel Crazy Beautiful World, a song that Clegg wrote for him. Earlier this year, Jesse was in New York, where he performed a tribute show to his father, featuring artists from around the world and South Africa, at the Gramercy Theatre. 'It was just so beautiful because I got to play Carnegie Hall in November last year and that was my show and then I got to come back three months later to play my dad's songs… It just felt like there was this beautiful relay race happening between me and my dad in New York,' said Jesse, speaking on Kfm 94.5. ALSO READ: Family ties held together Dstv Delicious Festival despite Janet's unavailability Delicious memories Last year, at the 11th edition of the DSTV Delicious Festival, Jesse performed his father's classics such as Impi and Scatterlings of Africa. Jessie, who does English pop music, fittingly sang his father's ditties that are steeped in Maskandi guitar riffs and sounds, which was appreciated by the crowd. This was part of the festival's 30 Years of Creative Freedom tribute show, sponsored by the National Department of Sport, Arts, and Culture—a celebration of South Africa's democracy. Selema Writes, who is the nephew of Hugh Masekela, performed his uncle's biggest songs. Selema, who is also a rapper, belted out his uncle's classic Stimela and rapped on the song. Before Selema took the stage, the band, particularly the horn section, poignantly performed Masekela's Grazing In The Grass, which showcased Masekela's unique style of playing the trumpet. The children of late powerful singer, Sibongile Khumalo, Ayanda Khumalo and her brother Tshepo Mngoma, paid tribute to their mother with renditions of Thando's Groove. Ayanda beautifully sang the song; you would've thought it was Sibongile herself belting it out. The siblings also performed their mother's Mayihlome.

Hooked on fishing, fatherhood and family
As Father's Day approaches, families everywhere prepare to honour the men who have shaped their lives. This year, we highlight a special bond between 13-year-old Teran Fowkes and his father, Colin, of Impala Park, whose shared love of fishing has turned into a cherished family tradition and a deeper connection between father and son. For Colin and Teran, Father's Day isn't about extravagant gifts or fancy dinners, it's about time spent together. 'It's a special day for us. We just spend time, talk, and do what we love,' said Teran. Their favourite shared pastime is fishing. Teran first picked up a rod in November 2024, and since then, the cherished moments by the water have become their way of further building their connection. 'That's really when the bond grew stronger. Now, we try to go fishing every month. It's become a family thing, something we look forward to,' Colin said. As a father of two, Colin speaks openly about the joys and challenges of parenthood. One of his proudest moments, he says, is seeing Teran grow into someone who knows who he is and sticks to it. 'He's not easily influenced by peer pressure. He's got his own flow, his own identity and that's something I admire,' said Colin. Also Read: Make Father's Day unforgettable Reflecting on his own upbringing, Teran highlighted the life lessons his father passed on, lessons he hopes to instill in his family one day. 'Self-control, being there for your family, valuing education, showing gratitude, respect, and co-operation, those are the things I will teach them,' he said. When asked how their relationship has evolved as Teran gets older, Colin smiled. 'He's always been a daddy's boy. Watching him grow, seeing him develop his own interests and personality is amazing.' This Father's Day will be a special one. The duo is heading out to Vaal Dam for their first ever Father's Day fishing trip. 'It's our first time celebrating it like this, and we're really excited,' they said. Colin's philosophy on fatherhood is grounded in balance. 'You can't really control your children. Your role is to guide them, prepare them for the real world, and let them make mistakes. That's how they learn.' As for the legacy he hopes to leave behind? 'I want him to be strong and true to himself , to follow his own ideas, not just mine. If he can carry that forward, I'll know I did my job as a father.'
