EDUCATING OUR KIDS WE CAN never stop talking about the importance of education. We see day in and day out why it’s vital to send our kids to school and try to give them their best chance after they’ve finished matric. But we also know that being able to send your child to a tertiary institution is just an impossible dream for many. The #FeesMustFall movement has brought home quite clearly – and in many ways quite painfully – how difficult it is for children who aren’t born into wealth to be able to afford to study for a few years. Even with bursaries – which often don’t cover the full amount – there’s the cost of travelling, stationery, books, data, food and a whole host of other hidden little…

BUDGET BUYS GET THE MOST OUT OF IT Eau de parfum (EDP) is more expensive than eau de toilette (EDT), but it’s definitely worth it. The intensity of the fragrance means it lingers longer and you’d need fewer reapplications. Use less EDP or EDT by layering the scent with more affordable versions of the same fragrance, like body spray or lotion. An EDT is a better idea for work because you don’t want your fragrance to overwhelm your colleagues. A smaller size costs less, but you get more bang for your buck if you buy a larger size – the price difference is often not proportional. Ask in store if your fave fragrance is refillable or if you can return the empty bottle for a discount on your next purchase.…

‘His behaviour makes it very clear that he doesn’t appreciate you or value your relationship‘ Q HE ABUSES ME I’ve been with my partner for 15 years, we have two kids and I’m pregnant again. He paid lobola but we never wed. Every time we argue he always blames me and slaps me. The last time he hit me I laid a charge against him. He got really angry and said it’s over between us. He has a girlfriend and has been sleeping in the lounge for the past three months. I still love and miss him, even though he’s hurt me. I need him so much during this pregnancy. Please help. FM, E-MAIL A Wanting and longing for him are different to actually needing him. Do you really believe…

YOU’RE getting tension headaches almost every day, feeling tired all the time and there’s a nagging ache in your lower back. You realise it’s probably all due to stress, but how can you stop stressing when there’s so much to stress about? Between work, the kids and the bills, your to-do list never gets shorter. In some instances, your stress levels even cause anxiety that may bring about heart palpitations and concentration problems, because you feel like your mind is in a million places at once. There’s no doubt about it; chronic stress can mess with your body and mind – as insurers well know. Over the past few years long-term insurers have received more claims for stress-related illnesses – such as heart conditions, chronic back pain and mental illnesses…

Recreational shopping is the shortest distance between two points: you and broke – VICTORIA MORAN, AMERICAN WRITER SPAR Many retailers offer discounts or special offers to people over the age of 60. The amount you save might be small, but every bit helps. Offers vary from store to store. Most Spar supermarkets are franchises, which means each franchise owner decides whether to offer a discount or not . Certain Spar shops offer 5 % discount to pensioners on Tuesdays, but it’s the exception rather than the rule. Check with the Spar in your area. MAKRO AND BUILDERS You can apply for a pensioner’s card at Makro with which you can get 5 % discount every Tuesday on food products (including meat, groceries, fruit and vegetables) and up to 10 %…

HUGH MASEKELA NO BORDERS R119* Bra Hugh’s first album in five years – and his 44th overall – is one of his finest. At 78, this jazz icon is showing no sign of slowing down. The 15-track record features stellar contributions from hotshots such as Kunle Ayo (guitar), Seun Idowu (keyboard), Oliver Mtukudzi (vocals), and Tendai Sam Mataure (drums). The album features multiple genres from maskandi to Congolese kwassa kwassa. Highlights include Heaven in You featuring Mi Casa’s J’Something. THANDISWA BELEDE R119* Thandiswa Mazwai’s third solo album is also her first one in seven years. Belede is named after the singer’s late mother, a woman Thandiswa says was the first rebel she knew, and features reworkings of anti-apartheid songs – which the singer says remain relevant as they ask provocative,…

HE’S one of Mzansi’s finest actors, a sought-after model and most women’s Man Crush Monday. But ask Daniel Hadebe what makes him the proudest of all and you’ll be shocked to learn it’s not career-related. The role he cherishes most is being a father to his teenage son – and he has dedicated his life to being a better parent than his own father. On the surface, Daniel (38) lives a charmed life: He’s an old hand in the TV and movie industry and has starred in films such as District 9, Invictus, Dredd and Happiness is a Four-Letter Word. His most recent small-screen role was playing multi-faceted, well-groomed thug Titus on e.tv’s award-winning telenovela Gold Diggers. But reaching a point where he can pick and choose his roles hasn’t…

A MOTHER’S LOVE ON MOTHER’S Day we celebrated our mothers for the significant roles they play in our lives – a role that can’t be played by anyone else, a warm and heartfelt role. Indeed a mother is a natural inspiration, a gift from God and the perfect symbol of love. For mothers who lose children it’s a pain and grief no one should have to know. I imagine how they think about their children’s smiles, what they could be doing or what they would be saying. Thinking about this, I realised these women are still mothers. Nothing can break the bond between a mother and child, not even death. And your children know you’re always their mothers and they love you and they’re in a better place than this…

ARE they or aren’t they still dating? That’s the question on people’s lips after DJ Zinhle abruptly stopped posting loved-up social media snaps of the man she affectionately introduced to the world as “Mr Bond”. She first posted a cryptic photo of his hand along with an expensive watch eight months ago, hinting at a new romance. And as their relationship blossomed the celebrity DJ peppered her Instagram account with pictures of her stylish suitor. When we identified the mystery man as Richards Bay-born businessman Brendon Naidoo last year, Zinhle told us she was in a “very happy space”. But just when it seemed he was healing her broken heart, Brendon (32) was arrested for fraud – and Zinhle (33) hasn’t mentioned him since. Sources close to her say she…

THIRD, third, second and now champions! Gavin Hunt couldn’t be prouder as he yelled these words after his team, Bidvest Wits, emerged victorious to claim the Premier Soccer League title for the first time in their nearly 100-year history. “It’s a culmination of hard work. It wasn’t easy . . . Yoh! Can’t really talk much!” Hunt, his eyes shining with tears of joy, said minutes after his side’s sensational triumph. “When I first came here I looked at this squad and I said I didn’t think the team was good enough. I’ve been here for four years now – and just look what they’ve done.” It took a long time to overhaul the team, the 52-year-old said, but they “changed everything” and it worked. “We changed the mentality, how…

‘Hopping between different doctors isn’t good for a patient’ Q CAN I SHARE MEDICATION? I had a headache and asked my supervisor for a tablet. She said she’s not supposed to give me any medication so she left the bottle of tablets on the desk and told me to help myself. What does the labour law say? ANONYMOUS, RANDBURG AI don’t know what the labour law says about this, but I do know sharing medication isn’t a good idea – you should never share medication you get on prescription. Headache tablets and other painkillers you can get over the counter are less problematic, but even then it should ideally be the kind that comes in a blister pack – not just tablets in a bottle – so you are certain…

Nobody can avoid stress altogether, but there are things you can do that will help you handle it better, says Janine Roos of the Mental Health Information Centre linked to the University of Cape Town and Stellenbosch University. It all comes down to taking care of yourself – because if you do that you’ll be in a better place to handle the stress life throws your way. Here’s how to do it: 1 Firstly, acknowledge that you need to prioritise your own wellbeing. If you don’t do this, the rest of the plan falls flat. Remind yourself of this regularly. 2 Exercise at least three times a week. It doesn’t have to be a session at the gym – a brisk 20-minute walk will do. Exercise is one of the…

ALL CLOSED Little Mpho lives in a small town and while playing in the park one day she hears a loud noise coming from the top of a tree. To her surprise, she sees a parachutist stuck in a branch. “Help,” he cries when he sees her. “What are you doing up there?” Mpho asks. “I was free-falling,” the parachutist replies, “but then my parachute didn’t open.” Little Mpho rolls her eyes. “Of course, it didn’t,” she says. “You could’ve just asked anybody in town – nothing is open on a Sunday.” LITTLE JABU Little Jabu answers the front door and finds his school principal standing on the stoep. “Are your parents in?” the principal asks. “They was in,” little Jabu replies, “but they is out now.” “They was in?…

YoungstaCPT’s very opinionated but he insists he’s not hardcore. “I’m not the hardest ni**a in the game who’s just hanging with gangsters.

HIS hit song Thula Mama is all the rage right now and rapper PRIDDY UGLY, born Ricardo Moloi, says the song talks about the abuse his mom allegedly suffered. The 26-year-old says it’s time for men to do something to stop violence against women. “I think it’s really tragic; we need to protect women and children. Men, in particular, need to take a stand against other abusers and I try my best in my music to address those issues.” We find out more about the rapper with a cause. How’d you get your stage name? I grew up in Birch Acres in Kempton Park and when something was really great we called it ugly. People thought I was a great rapper so they started calling me Ugly, but I switched…

KYLIE’S BAD-BOY BAE TRAVIS SCOTT is breaking records, and the law! The 25-year-old rapper and KYLIE JENNER’s new bae was handcuffed and hauled off stage during a concert in Arkansas. He was charged with inciting a riot, disorderly conduct and endangering the welfare of a minor. He got bail the same night and will have to return to Arkansas to appear in court. So the hastily arranged #FreeTravisScott campaign was a bit premature. Travis, whose real name is Jacques Webster Jr, was arrested last year on similar charges at the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago, after telling the crowd to “rush the stage”. Meanwhile, his Birds Eye View tour continued and Travis broke a Jay Z and Kanye West record by performing his track Goosebumps 14 times in a row…

WITH his signature dark shades and bright smile he’s as recognisable as the stars whose careers he has helped launch – Zahara, Kelly Khumalo, DJ Sbu and Arthur Mafokate are just a few who come to mind. He’s produced chart-topping hits for some of Mzansi’s biggest musicians but Robbie Malinga isn’t just a hit producer with a Midas touch: he’s also an accomplished pianist and singer who reinvents his sound to move with the times. Recently he celebrated reaching platinum status with his fourth – and last – music offering, a compilation CD titled The Duets, which could be unceremoniously disqualified as a Sama contender for best Afro-pop album. “I was shocked when I saw that in the newspapers. I don’t know what’s happening because no one has called me…

I GREW up eating traditional food in Jouberton outside Klerksdorp. I live in Cape Town now and when I get homesick, that’s what I prepare. I try to recreate my father Elias “Papa” Mokoena’s hearty meals. He oversaw the kitchen of a mine hostel. By observing him and the other chefs at the mine, my love for cooking was born. Johanne 14 is a Bible text, and it’s also what cabbage is called in the township as it’s so affordable and versatile. So even if you only have cabbage, you shouldn’t let your heart be troubled!

Find a quiet space and either sit comfortably or lie on a yoga mat. Place one hand on your stomach, just below your ribcage and place your other hand on your chest; relax your shoulders. Breathe in deeply through your nose and into your belly, feeling it expand slowly like a balloon. The hand on your chest should stay still while your other hand is pushed out by your stomach. Breathe out slowly through your nose, feeling the hand on your stomach move inwards as you expel all the air from your lungs. Repeat the exercise as necessary.…

BACK in the day they were just takkies and you pulled them on and kicked them off without much thought. They were for playing sport at school and kicking a ball about with your friends – nothing fancy or expensive. They were just – well, takkies. These days anyone who still calls them takkies is bound to be a grandparent who thinks a phone is something attached to a wall with a cord. They’re sneakers now, Gogo – and they are big, big business. The rise of sneakers from bland functional shoes to high-fashion footwear can be compared to denim’s trajectory from workwear to haute couture, says Elizabeth Semmelhack, who’s penned a book on the subject.

FOR the Princess of Africa, the circle is complete.
