Diabetes is a condition where the body doesn’t properly process food for use as energy. It’s a chronic condition associated with abnormally high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Insulin produced by the pancreas lowers blood glucose. Absence or insufficient production of insulin, or an inability of the body to properly use insulin, causes diabetes. TYPES OF DIABETES Type 1 occurs when the pancreas stops producing insulin. It typically occurs because of genes or due to infection. This type is generally diagnosed in young people under the age of 30. Symptoms include extreme thirst, frequent urination, lethargy, fatigue and drowsiness, blurred vision, sudden weight loss, increased appetite and hunger. Treatment requires an individual to take daily injections of insulin. Type 2 occurs when the body doesn’t produce enough insulin.…

MANY people wish they could travel but are afraid of getting into too much debt. Here’s how to plan your dream holiday and save on the big expenses. START SAVING Decide on a date then work out exactly how much money you’ll need to set aside monthly to reach your goal. For example, if you want to save R50 000 in the course of three years and you deposit it into an account with a 6% interest rate, you need to set aside R1 271 monthly, says Kriegler Neethling, a Cape Town financial adviser. Use an online savings calculator (see Get Help Here) – these take into account the period, your goal amount, monthly deposits and even interest. HOW TO BE THRIFTY FLY FOR LESS Your single biggest expense is…

Zendaya (22) also performs the song A Wonderful Life for the movie’s soundtrack. “Music is something I love, and it brings something really special to the film. [The song] comes at a time when the character Migo [Channing Tatum] is a little hesitant about going after the truth because he’s always been told there’s only one way to live. “Meechee takes him on this musical journey, telling him that having questions is a good thing – and that it’s important to figure things out. That’s what A Wonderful Life is really about – the wonder of life.”…

DL HUGHLEY: CONTRARIAN NETFLIX, STREAMING NOW Best known here as the star of the sitcom The Hughleys, DL HUGHLEY is also a red-hot stand-up comic. He delivers sharp one-liners as he riffs on American politics, celeb scandals, growing up with his tough mom, and how difficult it was to bounce back to reality after watching Black Panther. Some gags veer to the obvious punchlines, but it’s mostly very good, especially his takes on racism and poverty.…

Tshepo isn’t the only local entrepreneur feeling a lack of support from local buyers. Eustace Mashimbye, CEO of Proudly South Africa, the buy-local advocacy campaign, urges the government, business and consumers to support local businesses as a way of boosting the economy. “If we buy locally grown and produced items we create jobs,” he says. She describes how one of the vendors on the Proudly SA online shopping store has come in for flak for the price of his T-shirts and sweat shirts. He’s had to lower his prices, despite his products being exclusive and designer-made. This perpetuates the belief that local products are more expensive than imported ones. “It’s true that for many South Africans price is a primary consideration, but if you pay very low prices you may…

GROWING up she was told she wasn’t normal, that it wasn’t right for girls to play soccer, that she was weird. But Marta Vieira da Silva ignored them all. She wanted to play soccer and she was good at it – why should she stop doing something she loved and excelled at? One by one Marta silenced her critics, scooping award after award and leaving the competition in the dust. And now, having won Fifa’s best women’s player award for the sixth time, the 32-year-old is regarded as the world’s greatest female footballer. The Brazilian star holds the record for the most goals scored in the Fifa Women’s World Cup –15 – as well as the record for most all-time awards, male or female. Marta grew up in Dois Riachos,…

WHEN windows are closed, fresh air cannot circulate. Similarly, people who do not read have shut the windows of their mind and will not get fresh information. Information is power. Reading is like exercising our mind in order to think powerfully. Reading keeps our minds fit. As parents, we should read something every day, and we must read to our children so they will learn this good habit. A reading nation is a winning nation. Our children must stop roaming the streets and keep company with books, which get lonely in the libraries. Reading frees our minds but a lack of it will enslave us behind the prison bars of ignorance! AMOS TEBEILA, MOHLALETSE VILLAGE THE WINNING LETTER RECEIVES R300. Letters should be about 100 words.

In her memoir, actress Rosie Motene opened up about growing up feeling she was a white girl in a black girl’s body, years before she learned to love herself. DRUM readers shared their thoughts on her revelation. My five-year-old told me she wants to be a “peach” colour like me and have a ponytail like her friends. I told her she is a black coffee with little milk or dark chocolate, and her afro hair is a crown for a princess. Now she likes to leave her hair in an afro rather than plaits. THULI QWABE NTJOBOKOANE THULI I believe some of the ladies who wear wigs see themselves as white internally, even if they deny it. I am sure Rosie is not alone; there’s a lot of women who…

Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape are South Africa’s largest goat-producing regions. Most goats marketed in the country are sold privately in informal markets and are used for traditional or religious ceremonies. One of the primary reasons for farming goats is for the meat, known as chevon. Lesotho is one of the biggest importers of South African chevon. There are three main breeds of goat: indigenous breeds, meat breeds and dairy breeds. Indigenous goats make up about 65% of goats found in South Africa.…

JENNY Morris’ food career kicked off with cooking for family and friends. This led to a catering business and then the founding of her popular cooking school, The Cooks­Playground, where she hosts classes and team-building events. In 2015 she opened her first restaurant, Yumcious, and the second one was recently launched in Cape Town’s northern suburbs. In her new book she shares the interesting combinations of the tasty dishes prepared at her restaurants and on her shows.

It’s the process of using products (powders, cream-to-powder foundation or foundation) a few shades darker than your skin tone to create an illusion of contours on various parts of your face. Highlighting is then used to soften the contoured areas to make them look more natural. Highlighting also accentuates the protruding parts of your face such as your cheekbones, jawline, the bridge of your nose and even your forehead. You can also add blush to this mix for a rosy complexion.…

SOUTH Africa is rich in natural resources. It’s one of the world’s top 10 producers of platinum group metals (PGMs), gold, chromium and coal, and also has reserves of chromite, vanadium and manganese. The biggest-selling mining product last year was coal it made up 28% of sales in the industry. We’ll find out more about this important substance next week, but for now let’s look at some of SA’s important mineral products. GOLD WHERE IT’S FOUND Gold ore (a naturally occurring concentration of a mineral) is found in the Witwatersrand area in Johannesburg. This inspired the name “Egoli”, which means “city of gold”. USES Apart from jewellery, gold is used to make tooth fillings, and to conduct electricity in space vehicles and in cellphones and TVs. FAST FACT South Africa…

SHE was horrified when her hair began falling out in clumps, leaving bald patches on her head. Each morning Sizakele Mdluli-Chaplin noticed the patches growing bigger and bigger, the hair falling out faster and faster. “The skin on my face was also becoming discoloured and no one could tell me what was wrong,” she says. Sizakele (now 37) sought medical help and a battery of tests was performed but doctors all told her the same thing: there was nothing wrong with her. She was fine. “But my hair was still falling out,” she tells us. “Some of the doctors associated the hair loss with high stress levels and others said it was because of my hairstyles but I hadn’t braided my hair for about two years.” Sizakele was eventually diagnosed…

NGIDI IN THE WICKETS AGAIN It wasn’t the best effort they’ve ever put in, but the Proteas managed to beat Zimbabwe by five wickets in their opening One-Day International after chasing a mere 118. LUNGI NGIDI was named man of the match after our neighbours were bowled out for 117 in 34.1 overs, with Ngidi taking 3/19. Proteas coach Ottis Gibson used the game at the Diamond Oval in Kimberley to try out new players and combinations. “We have looked at some guys and perhaps this series against Zimbabwe and the next one against Australia are probablythe last where we will be giving opportunities to guys we have not had the opportunity to see,” he said before the game. BOKS KEEP CLEAN SHEET IN PE They’ve never lost a game…

HEALTH issues are no joke. Educating ourselves – even when we are not directly suffering from one – is vital to keep us well and stamp out the stigma. Recently we were shocked to see how many social-media users made fun of Sophie Lichaba because of her dramatic weight loss – which, she says, is due to diabetes. Diabetes is a major concern and the only way to get a grip on this potentially debilitating condition is to lead a healthy lifestyle and follow doctor’s orders. Read Sophie’s story on page 6 and see how she has managed to get it under control. Instead of judging others, let’s be supportive and build our nation through compassion and empathy. Until next week, THE DRUM TEAM We would love to hear your…

IT MUST be the most well-known gate in South Africa. Gigantic and made of sturdy black wrought iron, its purpose is clear: to keep prying eyes out. For years ordinary people have been dying to know what exactly is behind the imposing walls of the Gupta family estate in a well-to-do part of Johannesburg – but while it swung open for politicians, high-rollers and even allegedly former president Jacob Zuma, it remained firmly shut to everyone else. Which is why these photos that show the inside of the compound at 5 Saxon-wold Drive, where business tycoons Ajay (52), Atul (50) and Rajesh Gupta (45) lived with their families, are causing such a stir. Grand pianos, golden mirrors, luxury cars, immaculately landscaped gardens – the snaps paint an intriguing picture of…

‘I was too scared to undergo the operation. I told them I didn’t want to be circumcised’ HE SITS on the battered black couch, hugging a scatter cushion while the rest of the children play in the street. Before, the boy would have been out there bouncing the ball with the rest of the neighbourhood kids but his guardian says he’s become listless since his horrific ordeal about a month ago. “Now he only plays for few minutes before coming back home,” Nomsa* says. The nine-year-old is traumatised after he was taken from Panorama Primary School in Pietermaritzburg and driven by taxi to a nearby surgeon’s office to be circumcised – without permission from his parents or guardian. The surgeon, Dr Paul Moosa, is employed by an NGO linked to…

MOM’S BOYFRIEND KEEPS ASKING ME FOR SEX Q My mother was single for years. She dated a few times, which I didn’t mind, but the relationships didn’t last. At the end of my high school years she finally found a man and their relationship has lasted. It’s had its ups and downs and I always supported her because I wanted to make it work for her. And I grew to love this man as a father. He was married but when he divorced my problems started. Hugs became tighter and kisses lasted longer. I didn’t think much about it until he found out I had a boyfriend and was very angry. He took me into the garden and told me I didn’t need a boyfriend – he was going to…

LIBRA 23 SEP – 22 OCT As a Libra chances are you make a lot of compromises. Yet it’s a week to put your wishes and desires above those of all and sundry. Try to please yourself, whether you watch the movie you like, go on an outing of your liking or visit your preferred restaurant for your favourite meal. Go on your own and enjoy your own company. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 14, 45, 52, 50, 2, 36 SCORPIO 23 OCT – 21 NOV It’s a week to withdraw from the social scene and spend some time alone, which should be no punishment for a Scorpio who likes privacy. It’s an apt time to reflect on various aspects of your life. Since Venus, goddess of love, is currently moving backwards…

I ENTERED the florist and was greeted by shelves of colourful flowers. There was nobody behind the glass counter so I walked over, pressed the bell, and waited. A young man emerged from the adjoining room and stood in front of me. “Good morning. My name is Sifiso, how can I help you?” he said softly. I looked at him and momentarily the world stopped spinning. My heart galloped, my blood pressure sky-rocketed and my knees wobbled. I felt dizzy and had to hold on to the edge of the glass counter to prevent myself from falling. I tried to speak but no words came out of my mouth. “Are you okay?” Sifiso asked with concern. “Sorry. I’m not feeling well. I have a headache,” I lied. “Do you need…

REFLECTIONS Two philosophers are sitting in a restaurant discussing whether or not there’s a difference between misfortune and disaster. “There is most certainly a difference,” one says. “If the cook suddenly died and we couldn’t have our dinner that would be a misfortune, but certainly not a disaster. “On the other hand, if a cruise ship carrying politicians were to sink in the middle of the ocean that would be a disaster, but by no stretch of the imagination would it be a misfortune.” LESSER EVIL The sales manager of a bank calls one of it’s clients. “Sir, we have detected an unusual pattern of spending on your card, and we are calling to see if everything is all right,” she says. “Yes,” the man replies. “My card was stolen…

HE grew up a refugee in his own country, kicking a ball around abandoned parking lots as the sound of gunfire echoed around the surrounding hills. Football was Luka Modric’s escape during his boyhood in war-ravaged Croatia – and it’s rocketed him to global stardom. Despite once being deemed too small to make it in the game he so loved, the 33-year-old Real Madrid midfielder has done the seemingly impossible: pushed Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi off the pedestal they’d occupied for 10 years. For the first time in a decade a new guy has scooped the Fifa Best Men’s Player award, heralding a new era of superstars in the beautiful game. But Modric was modest in the face of triumph. “This award isn’t just mine,” the scraggly haired Croatia…

ALMOST two decades after sexual assault charges were first levelled against BILL COSBY, the actor was sentenced to three to 10 years in a maximum-security prison. Ten women, including his former friend Andrea Constand – who Cosby was accused of drugging and molesting in 2004 – were in the courthouse to witness the sentencing. Removing his jacket, tie and watch, a frail-looking Cosby (81) was led away in handcuffs as the drawn-out legal proceedings came to a dramatic close. During his closing arguments the judge described Cosby as a “sexually violent predator”. Kristen Dudley, a psychologist who worked on the case, testified that Cosby has a personality disorder made evident by a lifetime of pursuing non-consenting women, which she said wasn’t lessened by his age. WHAT’S LIFE LIKE BEHIND BARS?…
