IF YOU’RE dreaming of building your own home or renovating your existing one, one of the first steps will be to secure finance. That’s when you’ll discover there’s a difference between a home loan and a building loan. A home loan (or bond) is to buy an existing home such as a house or flat. Building loans are to finance the building of a house on a vacant lot or for renovating an existing property. Here are the things you need to get into place before applying for a building loan from a financial institution such as a bank. 1 PLANS AND CONTRACTS Before applying for a building loan, you’ll have to have the plans drafted and agree on a quotation with the building contractor. That’s how the financier works…

The J in J Cole is for Jermaine. The 33-year-old rapper was born in Germany and moved to the US with his mom after his parents divorced. KOD (BELOW) broke Apple Music’s 24-hour record with 64,5 million streams, and the album had 36,7 million streams in the US on its first day on Spotify. The lead track, KOD, broke Spotify’s opening day record for streams in the US with 4,2 million streams in 24 hours. The meaning of the album’s cryptic title, KOD, is “Kids on Drugs”, “King Overdosed” and “Kill Our Demons”, Cole tweeted, adding he’d explain nothing more about KOD. “The rest of the album I leave to your interpretation,” he wrote.…

THE ONES WITH PURPOSE BY NOZIZWE CYNTHIA JELE (KWELA) R265* Her debut novel, Happiness is a Four-Letter Word, was a roaring success. And author Nozizwe Cynthia Jele must have known all eyes would be on her second offering. Fans won’t be disappointed with her latest work of fiction. The novel tells the touching story of Anele Mabuza, whose beloved sister, Fikile, is battling breast cancer. As Fikile’s illness progresses, Anele narrates their back stories – along with those of their mother and long-lost brother – in a well-woven tale that touches on big themes such as addiction, child-headed households and black tax. But it’s not a heavy book – the elders who have cleverly been crafted provide light relief with their uniquely local humour and the Mabuza family’s journey of…

IF THERE was a competition for the best stepfather in the world, mine would probably win it. My biological father passed away in a car crash when I was three months old. My mother met my stepfather when I was a toddler and her only child. The love and care I received from my stepfather ensured we built a strong bond. My mom and stepdad later had two kids together. They told me I was his stepchild when I turned six. It took me some time to come to terms with the news, even though my stepfather never made me feel unwanted and our relationship wasn’t any different. My parents told my siblings I wasn’t our dad’s biological child when they were old enough to understand. My stepfather is my…

SHE made a mistake by marrying him. She ignored the warning signs – she doesn’t believe he’s divorced his first wife as promised, his family spurned her and she says he’s been cheating on her with a string of side chicks since the start of their marriage. Nomasonto “Mshoza” Maswanganyi claims she often tried to leave her husband of six months but “he’d soften me up and promise things will get better”. Yet when Thuthukani Mvula (39) allegedly assaulted her with a gun, the kwaito star knew she needed to get out. Mshoza’s second marriage has been marred with allegations of extra-marital affairs and violence. Things have gotten so bad she’s been forced to postpone her national tour because her publicist says she “fears for her life”. When Mshoza shared…

THEIR characters are so dynamic even their own kids sometimes confuse them with the roles they play. Drama is their bread and butter and their passion for their roles helps keep more than 9 million viewers glued to their TVs five nights a week. Uzalo’s Masoja Msiza, Dawn King and Siyabonga Shibe love what they do so much it’s easy to see why they’re firm fan favourites. They’re family on screen and off – best friends who are constantly chatting and laughing together. This vibrant trio pops in at DRUM’s Johannesburg office to talk about their love of acting, living their dreams and how their characters help them be better versions of themselves. MASOJA MSIZA He grew up on the tough streets of KwaThema, Gauteng, and when he was younger…

SURF ’N TURF KEBABS The popular combo of red meat and seafood works well on a skewer. The calamari and steak have the same cooking time, so neither dries out when they’re braaied together.

WASHING your face should be simple and quick, right? Most of us don’t pay much attention to how we do it. But if you’re scrubbing too hard, using water that’s too hot or using the wrong products for your skin type, you won’t be doing your face any favours. Do it correctly and you’ll avoid problems such as clogged pores, flaking skin, irritation and rough patches. THE BASICS The right way to wash differs from person to person because our skin types vary, but getting the hang of the basics is a good start. Follow these easy steps then customise with products suitable for your skin type. STEP 1 First remove eye make-up and lipstick. Put cotton wool soaked with make-up remover over your eyes and lips for a few…

GENTLY she lifted the newborn baby and held her close. The little girl was just eight hours old and Gloria Williams had no doubt she’d love her forever. Cradling the sleeping baby, she carefully placed her in a bag and, her heart pounding, walked out of the hospital. Nobody stopped her or asked her what was in the bag. They had no reason to – she was wearing scrubs just like all the other nurses. As she left the hospital in Jacksonville in Florida in the USA, Gloria thought about the child she’d miscarried a few weeks earlier. Then she looked at the sleeping baby and knew things were going to get better. The next day she took the baby to show her parents, introducing the little girl as Alexis…

HIS recent powerful performance on the field against the Sharks earned him heaps of praise – Bulls coach John Mitchell called him “brilliant” while former Springbok coach Nick Mallett said he was “outstanding”. Warrick Gelant lived up to his nickname, Boogie, when he danced around the Sharks defence at Kings Park in Durban, helping the Bulls demolish their rivals 40-10. The fullback was on fire as he dotted down three times and the 22-year-old tells DRUM he can’t be more pleased with his performance. “It was really special. “We were actually under pressure as a union because we hadn’t won in a while.” He’s certainly on form and the question on everyone’s lips now is: will he don the green and gold jersey when the Springboks take on Wales in…

It’s barely been six months since businessman Thuthukani Mvula paid lobola for his bride, kwaito singer Mshoza, and already there is trouble in paradise. Thuthukani allegedly burnt Mshoza’s clothes and the star has apparently been thrown out of the couple’s home in Bergville, KZN. DRUM readers weighed in on the drama (read more about the Mshoza saga on page 6). Mshoza will always be Mshoza. No one should lay a hand on a woman, but Mshoza is always looking for trouble. ESROM RALPH Mshoza clearly needs help but the husband is being childish. Walk away, Mshoza, life is way too good to be stressing yourself about him. TIKOE MOSHOESHOE Mshoza knows how to live her life to the fullest . . . only a fool would try to make her…

TO HER family she was a beautiful girl who had dreams of one day building her mom a big house and buying her a car. To her friends, she was a naïve young woman in love who was enjoying the freedom of being away from home for the first time. To South Africans, she’s become another statistic. Until recently no one outside her close circle of family and friends knew who Zolile Sthembele Khumalo was – now the name of the first-year quantity surveying student is all over social media and news reports. Zolile (21) was shot and killed at her residence at Durban’s Mangosuthu University of Technology (MUT) earlier this month – allegedly by her ex-boyfriend, Thabani Mzolo (23). Mzolo, a former student at the university, was arrested after…

These are great ways to cleanse your face as they save water. But don’t rely solely on these methods as washing your skin is still the best option for cleansing. WIPES are good for removing make-up when you’re on the go, but you may still need to wash your face afterwards if any traces of make-up remain. Don’t use these every day as they also exfoliate the skin. Always moisturise afterwards. MICELLAR WATER is a great waterless way of cleansing the skin even when you don’t have make-up on. Things such as pollution always affect the skin and dirt is evident on the skin’s surface at the end of the day. Micellar water is gentle even around the eye area and is also moisturising. MAKE-UP REMOVER melts even the toughest…

It’s a fusion of two diets considered to be among the healthiest in the world – the Mediterranean diet and the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, which are both plant-based. The benefits of the Mediterranean diet – which emphasises vegetables, fish, nuts, olive oil, fruit and red wine – are of course well known. The DASH diet was developed by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute in the USA for treating high blood pressure. It’s similar to the Mediterranean diet in its focus on vegetables and fruit, but also includes whole grains (such as brown rice, barley and millet) and berries. A few years ago a research team at Chicago’s Rush University Medical Centre decided to combine the best of both diets into one and set out…

HOW CAN I MAKE FRIENDS? Q I’m happily married and have two young kids. My family is very supportive and I love them, but I’m also feeling very lonely. I don’t have any real friends of my own. I know some other parents but I don’t know them very well. The town where I live is nice but there’s no one here who I can be close to. I don’t even see my old school friends anymore. I don’t want to sound ungrateful to my family but I would like to have some other people I can talk to. Do you think I have a problem making friends? What can I do? LONELY, EMAIL A There’s a saying people like to use: family is everything. But if we’re honest we…

GUILTY CONSCIENCE A wife is dreaming in the middle of the night when she suddenly shouts,“Wake up! Quick! My husband is back.” The man next to her gets up, jumps out of the window, hurting himself before he realises, “Darn it . . . I am the husband.” UP IN SMOKE A lawyer purchases a box of very rare and expensive cigars and insures them against fire, among other things. Within a month he’s smoked the entire stockpile. Without having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer files a claim against the insurance company. In his claim he states the cigars were lost in a series of small fires. The insurance company refuses to pay, citing the obvious reason: the man had consumed the cigars in…

DEN OF THIEVES *** THRILLER. 140 MINUTES. 2018. 16LV. Ever wondered what Michael Mann’s seminal cops and robbers movie Heat (1995) would’ve been like if it had starred Gerard Butler? Well, wonder no more! Gerard plays a cop who doesn’t play by the rules, hasn’t read the rulebook and is distressingly close to being an actual bad guy. But he’s pretty good at chasing villains, and in this movie they’re a daring gang of bank robbers (50 CENT is one of them) planning a seemingly impossible heist. It’s not as good as Heat but it’s much better than you might expect. MOTHER! * DRAMA/HORROR. 116 MINUTES. 2017. 18HLSV. Genius or fraud? Hard to tell with director Darren Aronofsky. Serious critics seem to love him but even some of them consider…

DETECTIVE PIKACHU **** NINTENDO 3DS We’ve had fighting games, photography games, and Pokémon Go. Detective Pikachu adds another genre to the mix. Detective Pikachu himself makes the game shine – he’s funny, sassy and lovable despite his grizzled veteran detective persona and the voice acting is top notch. This is a must-have game for 3DS and it’s a Pokémon offshoot that holds its own against any of the main Pokémon games.…

ONA cuteness scale it’s off the charts: a portrait of a squishy-faced little dog appearing to wink at you while holding up its paw in a jaunty high-five. But look a little closer and you’ll see the pooch is missing an eye. His name is Vegemite, a seven-year-old Japanese Chin/Pekingese cross and he has a special place in the heart of animal photographer Alex Cearns. She’s even made him the cover of her new book, Perfect Imperfection, in which she photographs animals that have either been disabled, had an illness, undergone surgery or are recovering from abuse. In other words, animals that all have something wrong with them. “I love every animal I have the privilege of photographing,” says Alex (43) of Perth, Australia. “But those perceived as ‘different’ hold…

KHUZWAYO LEAVES CHIEFS When a team has an Itumeleng Khune at the helm, it’s quite understandable when other goalies start to feel they aren’t getting enough on-field time. Which is what happened to Kaizer Chiefs’ BRILLIANT KHUZWAYO, who’s leaving the club after six years. The 28-year-old played his last game for Amakhosi when they beat Ajax Cape Town 2-1 at Cape Town Stadium. He bid an emotional farewell to the team and fans. “Thank you to the Kaizer Chiefs family, it’s been a great six years. Thank you to the chairman [Kaizer Motaung] for giving me an opportunity, thank you to Bob Steak [football manager Bobby Motaung] for giving me an opportunity,” he said in a personal video tribute after the game. Bobby explained why his contract wasn’t extended. “Brilliant…
