INSPIRING TALENT WHEN Romelu Lukaku saw his mom mixing water into the milk they’d have for lunch, he knew they were in trouble. He was just six years old but he vowed he’d ensure they’d live like kings one day. The footballer, who’s a star for Belgium at the Fifa World Cup, kept his promise and his story has brought many to tears. It’s a remarkable tale of a young child who was determined to one day care for his loved ones – read more on page 76 about his moving journey. Another inspiration in this issue is Kau Mohlamonyane. The 17-year-old of Mpumalanga created a device that can help save household water and he represented South Africa in the United States, impressing international scientists (see page 70). Enjoy the…

SHE has two decades of work experience under her stylish belt and has conquered TV, radio and the world of business. But even she admits following in Anele Mdoda’s footsteps on Real Talk on SABC3 and becoming the face of afternoon TV is a bit daunting. “It comes with a lot of anxiety and pressure,” Azania Mosaka says. “But it’s also exciting because I’m getting to do something I love.” She’s a few weeks into the show and it hasn’t been easy following on from someone like Anele, with her charismatic nature and big personality. “I’m like an artist coming to a canvas that has already been started,” she says. “The sketching has begun and it’s about saying, ‘Where do I take it? How do I complete this picture?’” So…

Lecia Smit, an accountant and tax practitioner from Pienaar Stofberg management consultants in Cape Town, says eFiling is a convenient way of submitting your tax returns and can save you a lot of time and frustration because it isn’t necessary to stand in line at a Sars office. According to Piet Nel, head of the technical department of the South African Institute of Tax Professionals, it’s a good idea to submit your returns electronically if they’re simple. For example, your income consists of remuneration (which is more than R350 000 as explained above) and your employer has already deducted Pay as You Earn (PAYE). However you should consider hiring a tax practitioner when your tax gets more complicated, Nel suggests. Such as in cases where you receive an allowance (like…

So you’ve been friends for years, but lately the balance of your relationship has shifted. Your friend never initiates meeting, she repeatedly lets you down at the last minute and when you do spend time together it’s all about her. She doesn’t get pleasure from your successes – she’s jealous – and has a growing habit of putting you down. It’s just not fun like it used to be. You leave your time together feeling down and bad about yourself. So is it time to dump this friend? Firstly, ask yourself if your friend is simply going through a tough time. If they are, then this is the time to step up and support them. Life coach Pula Matsaung says you must analyse the relationship from your perspective and also…

KNUCKLEBONE BY NR BRODIE (PAN MACMILLAN) R235* Reading this thriller was an exhilarating yet terrifying experience. From unsolved murders to demonic possessions, it had my imagination running wild – yet not wild enough to escape the weird sense that something like this could really be happening under our noses. Young ex-cop Ian Jack finds himself at the scene of a “housebreaking” gone wrong and has to team up with his former colleague and love interest, Reshma Patel, to solve the case. However, things take a dark turn when they uncover links to animal poaching syndicates, witchcraft and evil sangomas. There are many fantasy thrillers out there but none as uniquely South African as Knucklebone. Every story I was told as a child about abathakathi [bad sangomas] and tokoloshes came to…

‘We’re a bit suspicious about the timing of the unveiling’ HE WAS the talk of the town during and after the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa – a towering slab of muscle who stunned the opposition with his lightning-fast speed and almost super-human strength. Yet Jonah Lomu was as much a tragic figure as he was a legendary one: health problems cut short his career and sent him to an early grave. The All Black was just 40 when he died of a heart attack in November 2015 following a long battle with kidney failure – but it seems the world hasn’t heard the last of the 1,96m giant yet. Thanks to his wife, Nadene, his name is back in the headlines – even if it’s for rather…

HER husband is a convicted sex predator, but CAMILLE COSBY has no intention of divorcing him – despite rumours and reports she’d moved out of the mansion she shared with the once-beloved comedian. BILL COSBY (80) and Camille (74) have been married for 54 years. Bill was convicted in April on three counts of aggravated indecent assault for drugging and sexually assaulting former Temple University women’s basketball coach Andrea Constand. A family spokesperson said the couple were not splitting up. “Mrs and Mr Cosby are not getting divorced and she’s with him in the Philadelphia home as we speak. There are no issues in their marriage.” Camille has stood by her man even after more than 60 women came forward to accuse The Cosby Show star of rape and sexual…

OUR months into their engagement and it seems things haven’t cooled down between IDRIS ELBA and fiancée SABRINA DHOWRE. The couple, who got engaged after seven months of dating, couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they sailed around the Mediterranean island of Ibiza on a luxury yacht. Idris (45), who recently announced he’ll be reprising the title role in the BBC crime drama Luther for a fifth season, appeared smitten with his 29-year-old bride-to-be as she flaunted her curves in a white thong swimsuit. It’s not hard to see how sizzling Sabrina, a Canadian actress and model, managed to land the Dark Tower star – who once claimed “marriage was off the cards” for him. Talk about a beach babe!

WHEN we think of bad parents we often think of alcoholics who leave their children unattended or those who beat their children to within an inch of their lives. But there’s a category of bad parents we don’t often speak of: those who call their children “useless” or “stupid” for having failed at school. Those are crushing things to say to a child who has just been humiliated by their academic performance. Words are powerful. Words can help build your child towards success or paralyse them to fail. As parents we need to recognise our children’s strengths and weaknesses and build on their strengths, and support them to combat their weaknesses. It is a progressive process. It’s unfair to expect perfect results if you as a parent never put in…

HE SHOOK the country with the release of his fourth highly-anticipated album and teased fans by hinting it might be his last – which is why he had to make it count. It’s called Touch My Blood for a reason, AKA says: it’s raw and personal and addresses everything people want to know about him. “The album focuses on my thoughts and emotions,” he says. “It’s unguarded. I wasn’t afraid to be vulnerable and share what’s been happening in my life.” And that includes the dark days he went through following his break-up with Bonang Matheba at the end of last year. His new offering was cathartic and now he’s a man on the mend, he tells us. Just don’t expect him to go into detail about why he and…

THERE’S plenty to keep him awake at night: the surge in cash-in-transit heists, alarming numbers of policemen being charged with crimes, violence against women and children – the list is long. And yes, the police minister admits, he does have sleepless nights sometimes. But he’s up for the job and he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty. “I can do something about it so there’s no time to sit and worry.” Bheki Cele, his trademark fedora perched on his head, is a man on a mission. He recently personally manned emergency police phone lines, not only assuring people their complaint would be attended to but giving out his personal cellphone number in some cases too. “We work for the public,” he says. “They pay the bills so why can’t…

I DON’T LOVE HER ANYMORE Q I’m 27 years old and my girlfriend is 26. We’ve been dating for two years and now she’s pregnant with my child. The problem is I no longer feel the same about her. I don’t love her anymore and it’s not just because I found out she’s pregnant – this feeling started a few months ago. I really don’t want to hurt her, especially now, and I want to be there for my child but I’m no longer happy in this relationship. I also think she’s noticed I’m no longer the same guy. Please help me deal with this in the right way. ST, SMS A It’s good that you’re acknowledging you don’t have feelings for your girlfriend anymore instead of mistreating her and…

HIRVING LOZANO (22) COUNTRY: MEXICO CLUB: PSV EINDHOVEN The lightning-fast winger triggered gasps with his match-winning goal against reigning champs Germany in Mexico’s opening Group F clash. Premier League bigwigs Liverpool and Arsenal have been sniffing around the young star since early this year, and his stellar performance in Russia made La Liga giants Barcelona take notice too. But Lozano made it clear he’s entirely focused on the World Cup right now. “The important thing is to just focus on the next game, do as well as possible and go step by step,” he told reporters after El Tri’s 2-1 against South Korea. FAST FACT Lozano is affectionately known as “Chucky” by fans – like the doll from the horror movies – because he delights in playing scary pranks on…

“The minute you start playing long balls it becomes scrappy and that’s football from Mars, and we don’t play football from Mars” “Already there are two ways in coaching – entrance and exit; hired and fired” HE’S back! Former Kaizer Chiefs coach Steve Komphela is back in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) from next season and he’s ready to get in the swing of things – this time as coach of troubled Bloemfontein Celtic. He’s on a two-year contract, with an option for a year’s renewal. Max Tshabalala, who owns Celtic, hopes the dynamic Komphela will help return the club to the PSL top eight. “Our strategy was to get a reputable local coach with immense pedigree who can take us to greater heights, and in Steve we found an…

DJ Zinhle sent a sweet Father’s Day message to her ex, AKA, saying how happy she was to be co-parenting their daughter with the rapper. DRUM readers shared their thoughts on the matter.

SHE gently cradles her baby in front of a makeshift heater that’s warming the small home. The new mom, her partner Bongani Yaba and her daughter, Mivuyo, can’t stop staring at little Anoyolo, who’s making cute baby sounds. The three-month-old baby girl was recently snatched from her family home at Kiki Hostels in Gugulethu, Cape Town, but was returned safe and unharmed after a whirlwind search. It was an agonising 24 hours for Anoyolo’s mother, Nomfundo Maqashu. “I’m still shaken,” the 37-year old says. “But we’re glad to have our cute little one back,” she says, kissing the baby’s forehead. The relieved mother says it all began when she left her eight-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, Mivuyo, and the then two-month-old baby she shares with Bongani in the hands…

ACCESSORISE Add colour and texture with scatter cushions and throws. Three to five cushions are enough, depending on the size of the couch. Play around with scale and pattern and use interesting vases and small decorative items to add character to your living room. ART Décor usually starts with artwork or decorative pieces from which colours are incorporated into the room’s look and feel. Art adds character to walls and can be as easy as canvases that have the right look or colour. Stick to three hues in one space and hold things down with a neutral shade like white, black or grey. TIP Showcase your own paintings and photography and upcycle wooden trays, like we did in this makeover. LIGHT IT UP Artificial lighting doesn’t only set the tone…

CANCER 21 JUN – 21 JUL It’s a good week to take stock of your physique and to take care of your body’s needs. If beating the winter blues with comfort food has added inches to your waist, try to opt for healthier alternatives. It’s also important to keep the rhythm of your exercise regime going, regardless the weather conditions. Furthermore, spend enough time by yourself, especially if it’s what’s needed to keep you emotionally in tune. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 35, 19, 38, 52, 33, 41 LEO 22 Jul – 22 Aug Feisty Mars is currently going backwards through your love horoscope, which may cause a hiccup or two.

If your car starts acting up soon after you’ve bought it, take it back to the dealership you bought it from rather than trying to have it fixed yourself. If you get work done on the car before taking it back to the dealership, it’s easy for the dealer to say the car was in working condition when you bought it and that the work you had done was what damaged it, warns Charl Marais of attorneys JS Marais Inc. Your chances of proving that the car was defective when you bought it will then decrease dramatically.…

HE MAY not have been able to attend school due to a lack of funding, but Moniwa Badge Skosana worked hard to uplift himself. He has been farming since 2011, and hasn’t looked back. Badge farms maize and soya beans in a crop-rotation system on a 1 750-hectare piece of land in the Balmoral district of Mpumalanga. His wife, Sofia Skosana, also enjoys farming and regularly visits the farm to assist with planting radishes, onions and tomatoes, which are sold to locals in Siyabuswa where she lives with the children while they attend school. Badge emphasises he grew up on a farm in Carolina district and simply loves farming and the fruitful rewards. “We’re doing well on the farm here,” the 65-year-old farmer says with a chuckle. “We also have…

GAME NIGHT *** COMEDY. 100 MINS. 2018. 16 LV Super-competitive couple Annie and Max live for their weekly game nights with their friends, Ryan (BILLY MAGNUSSEN) and his bae Sarah (SHARON HORGAN). When Max’s annoyingly successful brother shows up to one-up the night with a murder-mystery game, comedic chaos ensues when the players discover the game is not make-believe. The premise is similar to the 1997 thriller The Game but played for laughs – some predictable, some self-aware, but mostly satisfyingly funny. THE COMMUTER *** THRILLER. 107 MIN. 2018. 13 LV Watching LIAM NEESON’s latest action outing is familiar, but satisfying. After a rough day at work, mild-mannered insurance salesman Michael MacCauley meets a mysterious woman who offers him a lot of money to help her locate a train commuter.…

SHE’S been stared at, teased and taunted – she’s even been called a terrorist. Zulaikha Patel is certainly not a typical teen. At 13 she became the face of the #StopRacism-AtPretoriaGirlsHigh movement when she led a protest to challenge her school’s rules on hair. The demonstration over discriminatory hair policies dominated news headlines and sparked similar protests around the country. Zulaikha’s story spread across social media like wildfire and her fiery stance gained her global fame when an artist painted a 12-foot (3,65m) mural of the fist-pumping teen in Brooklyn, New York – her delicate face dwarfed by a halo of hair. Two years later, Zulaikha (16) is still rocking her headline-making hair. The hair policies at her school have since been amended, “and now wearing my hair in its…

It’s common for women to experience reactive hair loss after pregnancy and during menopause. The hair may shed and this will lead to thinning, or the hair will often become dry and brittle. “Hair growth during pregnancy is usually preserved – hair volume will often increase and hair will usually have a healthy gloss,” says Dr Suretha Kannenberg, a dermatologist at the University of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape. This is in response to the mass of hormones flooding the body. After pregnancy women can experience hair loss due to the sudden loss of hormones. “It usually occurs around three months after birth.” Common causes of hair loss include: Hormonal imbalance Stress Iron deficiency Acute and chronic diseases Any medical operation Medication Malnutrition…

SURPRISE, HE’S HERE! A QUICK visit to the doctor for a check-up turned into a day of drama, then joy for NE-YO and his wife, CRYSTAL SMITH, when she gave birth earlier than planned. Crystal shared an Instagram story where she described going for a check-up then being rushed into surgery. The couple’s then-unborn son, ROMAN ALEXANDER-RAJ SMITH, “wasn’t doing well in my womb and had to be taken immediately or doctors feared the worst,” Crystal wrote. She described those hours as, “Scariest moments ever!!! But he’s here and he’s healthy and we are so happy!!!!!!” Later that day the Good Man singer also shared a snap of him and his son having some skin-to-skin time, and wished himself a happy Father’s Day. Crystal and Ne-Yo got married in 2016,…
