Legends never die, they rest. Rest in peace, Ntate Ray Phiri, you’ll always be remembered. You completed your race. THENJIWE WINNIE TEMBANE I remember I was introduced to his music by my uncle while he was teaching me to drive.

HE RUSHED home as soon as he got the call. He needed to get home urgently, his brother Vusi had said. But when Mandla Mhlanga arrived home, police officers were on the scene and wouldn’t let him in. He forced his way through the barrier, terrified something awful had happened, and came upon a ghastly scene, the lifeless bodies of his wife, Pearl (32), and their three children - Quanisha (8), Quirino (4) and their seven-month-old baby, Quain - lined up in the passage of their home. Police suspect Pearl killed herself and her children after an argument with Mandla. The devastated father of three, who hasn’t been to the Reyno Ridge home in eMalahleni since, cuts a lonely figure when we meet him at his parents’ home in Ackerville,…

ALL ABOUT THE BASE Normal foundation primers may not be suitable to use in cooler months because they don’t have hydrating properties. Try applying a BB (blemish balm) or CC (colour control) cream before your foundation. Both products are smooth in consistency, hydrate the skin, contain SPF and hold foundation well. After applying moisturiser and sunscreen, apply your BB or CC cream (even more SPF!) with your fingers, then follow with your foundation application. MOISTURISE, MOISTURISE! Your skin can become quite dry during winter, which can lead to your make-up looking cakey and unnatural. Put your best face forward with this three-step routine. Use a hydrating cleanser and exfoliate regularly to get rid of dead skin cells. Use a super-hydrating moisturiser. This will usually be indicated on the packaging with…

‘Make sure you carry condoms with you at all times – both male and female’ Q HEALTHY FOOD IS COSTLY I’m on ARVs and was told I must eat healthy food, but it costs too much. I don’t want to get sick, but I don’t know what to do. Why is good food so expensive? What can I eat that doesn’t cost too much? BB, E-MAIL A Buying healthy food at supermarkets may be costly, but there are alternative means to getting healthy food. Both government and NGOs provide food parcels for people in situations like yours – ask at your local clinic about charities operating in your area.

MEETING CEELO “I met Ceelo when I was 11 on a flight from LA to Atlanta. My mom prepped me to find the courage to go up to him and play him my music. I snuck into first class, nervously passing the air hostesses on guard. I introduced myself, asked him to listen to my music and passed him my headphones. He liked the demo a lot.” MUSIC MENTOR “When we met he wanted me to be his prodigy. We were in regular contact and I’d send my music, pictures and videos to him and his wife, Shani. We’ve kept in contact via Skype, e-mail and WhatsApp, even though he’s very busy. Ceelo, or ‘Lo’ as we call him, is a very kind and humble superstar. He gave me great…

Q What can you afford? Don’t get caught in a debt trap to satisfy your ego – buy a vehicle you can afford, not one you desire. Before you apply, use your bank statements to work out what you spend money on and what’s left after essential monthly expenses. This gives you a realistic idea of how much you can afford in monthly car payments. Many credit providers have online calculators that include your income and expenses to help you figure this out. It’s important to do this in advance as the loan application will be rejected if the credit provider reckons you can’t afford the monthly payments. Try to free up cash for your vehicle financing. Paying off short-term debts with high interest rates, such as clothing accounts and…

THERE is nothing like a wedding for some light and warmth amid the gloom and doom of cold weather, crazy politics and a plummeting economy. So Minnie Dlamini’s recent umembeso ceremony was certainly like a salve for wounded spirits!

We hope you enjoy them as much as we did. And, of course, we wish the new Mrs Jones and her husband all the happiness in the world. Until next week. THE…

WHEN music hits you, you feel no pain – or so Bob Marley tells us. But when you hear that an iconic musician has passed on, it hits you very hard indeed. I’m driving to work and listening to Stimela’s Fire, Passion and Ecstasy. The guitar licks and Ray Chikapa Phiri’s lyricism on the instrument gives me goosebumps. Ray is one underrated guitarist, I think to myself, tapping the steering wheel to the rhythm of the beat. Then the music stops. The radio jock says the station is paying tribute to Ray Phiri, who has died of lung cancer in a hospital in Mbombela, Mpumalanga. Tears well in my eyes. I had seen Ray Phiri cry several times as he opened his heart and shared his life story with me.…

A VISIT to the pharmacist can save you time – endless hours of queueing at the busy clinic – and even money. The services they provide go way beyond a packet of pills to a variety of health services. “Pharmacists are healthcare professionals who are often the first point of contactforpatientswithhealthenquiries”, CEO of South African Pharmacy Council, Amos Masango says. “They provide information on prescription and over-the-counter medicines, and healthcare supplies and products. They also advise on the safe and appropriate use of medicine and can provide essential clinical services, including testing and referring people on to the right medical professionals.” Although they don’t have all the answers to complex medical problems where a visit to a doctor may be necessary, they can probably give you the help you need…

It couldn’t be easier: just the shampoo and a tonic to massage onto the scalp. The Plantur 39 Phyto-Caffeine products for thinning hair and hair loss*.

IT WAS South Africa’s first black musical, it’s still the most iconic and influential jazz opera to come out of the country and it launched several artists – including Miriam Makeba – to global stardom. Now, almost 60 years since it was first staged in a land reeling under the relatively new tyranny of apartheid, King Kong has been given a welcome 21st-century makeover. The new production, scheduled for a six-week run in Cape Town before moving to Johannesburg, will remain true to the original, says Daniel Galloway, executive director of the Fugard Theatre, which will host the Mother City shows. “This long-awaited production will showcase the very best of South Africa’s talent,” he says. “The original production united audiences of all colours and put performers on the world map.…

WELCOME, RUMI AND SIR CARTER! WELL, it took a while, but we finally got a glimpse of SIR and RUMI CARTER, who made their world debut in mom BEYONCE’s Instagram post. The snap had the same goddess-like floral theme as the one the Lemonade hitmaker posted in February when she announced she was pregnant with twins. “We would like to share our love and happiness,” the Carters wrote at the time. “We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes.” Beyonce’s twins were born last month and their names were leaked ahead of the official announcement when trademark documents were filed to the United States Patent and Trademark Office by the same…

IS IT true love or just summer lovin’ for supermodel NAOMI CAMPBELL and Egyptian billionaire LOUIS C CAMILLERI?
