INSPIRATIONAL READS As a DRUM reader I found the article “The Magic Touch” (23 August) about author Tomi Adeyemi so inspiring. When our young people find and read these kinds of stories they’ll be inspired to do more with their lives. I wish DRUM could feature an African writer weekly so we can get to know about their books and what inspires them to write. I was amazed when I asked a group of about 17 young students if they knew Zakes Mda and none of them did. Most of them come from high schools that don’t have libraries and homes where reading isn’t part of their everyday activities.

Swallow your pride and get a JOB. Telling the world about your broke situation will not help you. LUVUYO IFA TSHWETE She graduated from Boston Media House, neh? LOL, she must stop whining and put that diploma to good use. AUBREY MMANARE MABALA Nine to five, finish and klaar! NOMAHLATHI MAZIBUKO It’s easy to tell people, “Get a job, get a job” – as if jobs are easy to find. She has every right to fight for what she believes is hers. I wonder, with this type of mentality from fellow black men and women, where are we going as a nation? PONDO NGUBANE There’s nothing wrong with her wanting her money to fund her own record label. Power to that black woman who thinks outside the box. ELIAS MAKAU…

THEY go together like pap and chakalaka, peanut butter and jam or cheese and wine. The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) and Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi – a match made in Mzansi political heaven. It’s hard to imagine one without the other yet this is exactly what’s going to happen when the long-serving IFP leader vacates the hot-seat of the party he created. Buthelezi (90) reportedly said he’ll retire from politics following next year’s election. “He told the IFP national council meetings he wants to leave politics for good so he can write his memoirs and focus on his family,” an IFP insider told Business Day newspaper. Of course it’s not the first time he’s said this – in October last year he announced he’d be stepping down after the party’s elective…

CAN employers make monthly deductions from your salary to pay your creditors? Yes, employers are allowed to do this – but only if instructed to do so by a court order. It’s called an emoluments attachment order, better known simply as an EAO. We explain how it works. WHEN IS SUCH AN ORDER MADE? EAOs are made by the court when an employee fails to make monthly repayments owed to a creditor. The order is made when the creditor has already summonsed the employee and they still don’t comply, explains Christo Bester of the LWO Employers Organisation. The order could, for example, be for paying off debt or when someone fails to honour compulsory payments such as maintenance payments to an ex-spouse. The order authorises the monthly deduction of a…

OCTOPATH TRAVELER NINTENDO SWITCH The ’90s were a golden age for Japanese role-playing games (RPG) and Octopath Traveler is a callback with beautiful sprite-based graphics, and a turn-based combat system that’s deep and easy to grasp. The old-school graphics hold up well on the smaller screen when your Switch is in portable mode. Instead of following one character’s story you get eight. And how all the stories interlink is what makes Octopath special and fresh. There’s over 100 hours of gameplay with many secrets – some of which we found about 80 hours in. It’s a must if RPGs are your thing. CAPTAIN TOAD: TREASURE TRACKER NINTENDO SWITCH & 3DS The Wii U was a good console with some great games. Captain Toad is one of those and now gamers…

IT’S the new kid on the political block and it’s been dogged by ridicule and controversy – but it seems nothing can stop the people at the helm from talking up a big game. They’ve set their sights on claiming 15% of the vote in next year’s elections – quite something for a fledgling party given the DA took 22% in the last election and the EFF 6,35%. But they can do it, the Mazibuye African Congress (MAC) believes, despite the fact they’ve only been around for four months. The party has been campaigning on familiar issues: economic empowerment for black South Africans, decolonised education and free healthcare. It’s also been accused of impropriety and racism, thanks to its ties to former president Jacob Zuma and its strict no whites-,…

IT’S easy to picture boxing trainers as grizzled men chewing on cigars, barking orders at muscled men. But in real life boxers and trainers come in all shapes and sizes – and ages and sexes. Take Tamrin Raynor, for instance. Who would expect a Grade 11 schoolgirl with braces on her teeth to be a professional boxing trainer? Sometimes real life is much more interesting than the movies. The 18-year-old made history when she became the youngest person in Mzansi to be licensed as a professional boxing trainer. Tamrin is well aware of the significance of her achievement. “It’s a big deal because it’s attracting respect for women,” she says. “I don’t only represent myself but other women in the world of boxing. Sometimes in this sport females don’t get…

BALD, bold and beautiful – ZOË MODIGA is adding a pop of colour to Mzansi’s jazz scene. The golden-voiced singer is obsessed with yellow, and it’s become her signature look on stage as she belts out tunes from her debut album, Yellow: The Novel. The record talks about self-realisation through tackling different human experiences, the 24-year-old says. Why yellow? “It’s my favourite colour,” she tells us. “Yellow is bright and bold. It’s cautious, it’s happiness and everything I hope to be,” she gushes. Although she always performs in the bright hue, away from the public eye Zoë says she’s most comfortable in basic jeans and flats. She keeps her skin glowing by getting enough sleep and cleansing her face twice a day. “I swear by Dove soap.” The stylish singer…

CELESTE Ntuli really is a revelation: talented in every way, true to herself and a role model for anyone who’s ever had to answer questions about their relationship status or dress size. Her latest role in the film Looking for Love tackles these burning topics head-on, and Celeste is refreshingly frank about the expectations society places on women. “A woman can be successful and happy, doing what she loves, but people will choose to see things that don’t exist – like imaginary sadness,” she says in our article on page 8. “What is that? Take me for example: I’ve learnt to love myself and accept myself the way I am.” Let’s all take a leaf out of Celeste’s book and celebrate who we are. Until next week, THE DRUM TEAM…

HOME MAKEOVER Ntombi goes to her local bank and asks to see the manager. When she’s ushered into his office she says, “I want a loan as I am going to divorce my husband.” “Oh, we don’t give loans for divorces,” the manager informs her. “We offer loans only for things like real estate, appliances, cars, businesses, home improvement . . .” “Stop right there,” Ntombi interrupts. “This definitely falls into the home improvement category.” WHAT MEN REALLY MEAN “It’s a guy thing” – there’s no rational thought pattern connected with it and you have no chance of making it logical. “Uh huh”, “Sure, honey” or “Yes, dear” – these mean absolutely nothing. They’re conditioned responses. “It would take too long to explain” – I have no idea how it…

WAKANDA REMIXED BY VARIOUS ARTISTS The third musical offering from Black Panther is a five-track EP featuring remixes of the rousing beats and drums of the film’s score. The movie’s soundtrack album topped the charts on its release – and Ludwig Göransson’s original score was a beautiful companion piece. This EP is a nice “best-of-both worlds” treat, and well worth downloading. Featured artists include Baaba Maal and Ame Kora.…

MARVEL’S IRON FIST SEASON 2 ON NETFLIX The new-and-improved Immortal Iron Fist aka Danny Rand (FINN JONES) was (re)introduced in season 2 of Luke Cage – and he’s back for more street-level fisticuffs and dragon-powered heroics. The shorter, 10-episode season sees Danny reunite with allies Colleen Wing and Misty Knight to face foes old and new – including Typhoid Mary, a villain with deadly telekinetic powers.…

The moment the car starts, the electric motor kicks in to give it power. When driving at low speeds the car uses electric power only. At this point the internal combustion engine isn’t used at all, which means no harmful gases are emitted to pollute the air. When the driver needs to go faster and pushes down on the accelerator pedal, the internal combustion engine kicks in to give the car more power. Now the two systems – electric motor and internal combustion engine – both provide the car with power. Because the petrol engine isn’t doing all the work you save fuel. The petrol engine also turns a generator that produces electricity to recharge the batteries for the electric motor. There’s another trick up a hybrid car’s sleeve –…

GOOD START FOR WP Western Province is on a winning streak after they won two out of two Currie Cup games when they defeated the Pumas 57-28 at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit. WP coach JOHN DOBSON said the youngsters kept the game going. “The Springboks in the group also really played well and showed great commitment‚ which when you consider they were jumping on a plane to join the Boks for Australia less than 24 hours after the Pumas match‚ shows how good the culture is in this team.” Overall he was happy with how the team had played, Dobson said. AMAKHOSI OUT OF MTN8 Kaizer Chiefs haven’t had a great start to the season and their downward spiral continued with a 1-0 MTN8 semifinal defeat at the hands of…

I WRITE this message with a heavy heart. It can’t be right that so many lives are lost daily to depression. I firmly believe if we become familiar with the signs of depression we’ll be in a much better position to help our loved ones who might be experiencing this serious condition. A person who is depressed will often display the following signs: low energy levels, a lack of optimism, expressing themselves in anger and showing little motivation. They may lack emotional connection and dwell on negativity. Anyone who displays these signs could be experiencing depression and should seek professional help. I must stress the importance of reassuring the affected person they’re not alone in their situation. The person should be reminded of their importance and told that they’re loved.…

SHE knows exactly what it feels like to have people trying to marry her off. When is she going to meet a good man? When is she going to have kids? Time is running out, you know. The pressure comes from friends, colleagues, distant relatives, you name it. It isn’t always easy to laugh it all off and tell people to mind their own business – but for comedienne Celeste Ntuli (39), the badgering has come with a surprising plus side: she’s the perfect person to play the lead role in the new movie Looking for Love. In this local romantic comedy she plays a 38-year-old woman, Buyi Dube, whose parents are worried she’s wasting her life working meaningless jobs. When her younger sister gets married Buyi’s parents insist she…

HIS personality is so vibrant it practically leaps out of the airwaves. And he’s so beloved, flamboyant and full of life he gets to play himself in one of the most popular shows on TV. Selby Mkhize aka Selbeyonce is hitting several career high notes. The 29-year-old had his big break in Generations: The Legacy and plays himself in Uzalo. But it’s his 3-6pm slot on Ukhozi FM that’s made him a firm fan favourite. It’s also the reason he’s joining the ranks of Mzani’s hottest celebs – he’s been nominated for a DStv Mzansi Viewers’ Choice award for best radio personality. He’s delighted to be chosen by the public alongside radio vets Anele Mdoda and DJ Fresh for the award, but his happiness is tinged with sadness and longing.…

SEX ISN’T GOOD ANYMORE Q I’ve been married for 23 years, I’m 45 years old and my wife is 41. We have two kids and she stopped using contraceptive pills after our second child was born in 2002. Since then I’ve had to use condoms and I’m not really enjoying sex anymore. I’ve spoken to her about this and she says she gets sick when she uses the pill. I’ve put up with the situation for a long time now but I’m worried it’s going to hurt our marriage. I want us both to enjoy sex and our life together again. PM, EMAIL A Sexual dissatisfaction in a marriage is one of the main causes of conflict and sometimes it can also lead to its breakdown. I must commend you…

FOR YEARS, they’ve set soccer fields ablaze with their fancy footwork. The dynamic duo, who became friends after causing goalies sleepless nights during their time together at Colchester United, struck fear into the hearts of defenders with their dangerous dribbling. Now Refiloe Jane (26) and Rhoda Mulaudzi (28) are making history together. In October, the power pair will become the first South African women to play in the top-division women’s pro league Down Under after signing with Australian side Canberra United.
