Fathers have three important roles they play in the upbringing of their children and these are the protector, provider and disciplinarian roles.
A father protects his children from the dangers inside the home and also violent community, he provides for his children although nowadays we have a two-parent family, he is the one expected to bring home the bacon. Also a father plays a disciplinarian role in order to have their children have a bright future.
Fathers are the backbone of the families and society, and their contribution cannot be overstated said NetOne Group Chief Executive Officer Engineer Raphael Mushanawani on the Father’s Day Braai event held for the NetOne’s Father’s Day Digital Campaign winners in Harare recently.
NetOne had a Digital Father’s Day Campaign held on their corporate social media platforms Facebook and Twitter where customers were asked to write about their fathers.
Six winners were randomly picked from the Facebook while Twitter stories from more than 100 people who participated in the campaign.
“We would like to especially thank you for your support, and for taking part in the NetOne Digital Father’s Day Campaign held on our Corporate social media platforms (Facebook & Twitter), congratulations to all the winners!
“This has facilitated an opportunity for us to foster lasting relations and memories. Your support for the NetOne brand is truly humbling and valued. Stay connected on the network,” Mushanawani told the winners.
Engineer Mushanawani said fathers must be emulated for the roles they play in shaping the lives of their children.
“At NetOne, we understand the importance of family and the role that fathers play in shaping the lives of their children and society as a whole.
They are our first teachers, our role models, and our pillars of strength. They inspire us to be the best version of ourselves and to strive for greatness in everything that we do,” said Mushanawani.
“As we celebrate Father’s Day, I would like to express my gratitude to all the fathers who endeavour to provide for their families and create a better future for their children. Your love, guidance, and unwavering support are truly invaluable. As you transform the lives of your families, you transform communities too!” he added.
NetOne, while understanding that work demands sometimes make it challenging to balance family commitments, provides employees with flexible and family-friendly conditions of service to ensure that their employees have the support they need to succeed both at work and at home.
