IF THE results of the local Government elections didn’t teach the ANC a good lesson, then it is made up of people who are oblivious, ignorant and totally deaf when it comes to the cries of the people. The loss of the highly contested Nelson Mandela Bay is a sign that people are tired of corruption, lack of service delivery, bad leadership and voting for an organisation that does not listen to them. Moreover, in some metros in Gauteng, the ANC dug their own grave by forcing e­tolls on people and refusing to listen to their objections. Instead, they went ahead and ordered Gauteng residents to pay. Then, when South Africans complained bitterly about Jacob Zuma’s inability to lead, and how he’d become a liability, the ANC chose the President…

MPHO DUPLOOY YES If they treat this like a business deal they can, but I don’t see it happening because of differing philosophies. The EFF is pro-black while the DA needs to protect the interests of white voters. LUCKY MASEOLA YES I think they can work together because they both want to gain more support prior to the 2019 national elections and basically gang up on the ANC. It’s going to be very challenging but definitely possible. SPHINDILE BHENGU NO They have different views. Most DA members are whites and Malema doesn’t like white people. ANNABEL KHANYILE NO The EFF is still new to politics and it still needs to work hard on its own. FIND US AT WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/DRUMMAGAZINE HENRY MARTIN NGARA YES It can be a success…

IT’S BEEN exactly two years since DRUM interviewed this multi-talented actress, and a lot has happened since then. She’s now one of the longest-lasting members of the cast on the much-loved soapie Muvhango, as well as a musician and a sought-after pastor. As she rocks up for our shoot in a casual grey tracksuit, we immediately see that Maumela Mahuwa (36) looks fabulous and much slimmer. “Deciding to lose weight was a dare to myself,” she tells us. “I met this couple, Pastor Frank and Alisha Orji, who told me to lose weight.” That might sound a bit harsh to some, but Maumela feels it’s a good thing to surround yourself with people who are honest with you. “I told God this is what I plan to do,” she continues.…

NAME: Lerato Nkoana OCCUPATION: Entrepreneur/part-time student AGE: 29 FROM: Protea North, Soweto LERATO’S STORY “I’m a sucker for jeans but I’ve always been careful with skinny jeans and tight tops because they highlight my bulgy stomach area, which I’m still working hard on at the gym.” LERATO’S REACTION “I never knew it could be this simple to glamourise denim with a sequined jersey top for a comfortable and warm evening look. Most of the looks seemed custom-made specially for me because they concealed my tummy and my almost-non-existent hips. I now know how to dress fashionably, highlighting my bust area and hiding my stomach.” DATE NIGHT Achieve a feminine night look with pearls and a faux-fur jersey with shimmery detail. STYLE STAR Get a layered look in different colours but…

‘It’s very common for one partner to be positive and the other negative’ Q I GET BAD CHEST PAINS I’m a 22-year-old female and I get sharp chest pains. They started when I was 10 or 11 years old. When the pain comes, I have to hold my breath because it’s worse when I breathe. I went to a clinic last year and they did an ECG but no abnormalities were found. Lately the pains come almost every day. I’m scared. Please help me. ANDISIWE, E-MAIL A Obviously, the clinic you went to did not help and the ECG (a test that measures the electrical activity of the heart) was inconclusive, so you need to go to the nearest hospital with a polyclinic (a clinic with all the medical disciplines),…

PROVERBS 15:13 reads: “A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.” Most of the misery in our lives is a result of uncontrolled negative thoughts and resentment which develop in our minds. The mind responds to what it is fed, so if you constantly feed your mind all sorts of negative thoughts, you cannot expect to have a joyous life. Here’s what you need to remember: A POWERFUL WEAPON Use it to fight off the negative thoughts that linger in your mind and cause you heartache and sorrow. In Proverbs 15:13, King Solomon teaches us that joy makes you smile and sorrow can crush your spirit. Having a joyful life is a blessing, so learn to face every day with enthusiasm and the courage to reach…

FROM CUTE photos of friends with puppy ears to those of celebs “swapping faces”, everyone is getting in on the fun of Snapchat. And who can forget that the app was recently even used for an epic face-off between reality TV queen Kim Kardashian West and pop princess Taylor Swfit? Initially, what set this social networking app apart was that the messages, videos and photos you shared with your friends would automatically vanish a few seconds after being viewed (which is why the icon for the app is a ghost), unless you screen-grabbed them. But now the app has introduced Snapchat Memories, which allows users to save their “snaps”. Snapchat posts still auto-delete unless you choose to keep them by using Memories, which is described as “a personal collection of…

‘To me he’s just a normal loving guy and a good dad to our child‘ IT’S BOUND to break many hearts, and we’re sad to be the bearer of such bad news. But United Democratic Movement (UDM) Chief Whip Nqabayomzi Kwankwa (35) is spoken for. In an exclusive interview with DRUM, Nqaba, as he’s affectionately known, proudly shows off the woman who has captured his heart – gorgeous Sindiswa Myburg, who also happens to be the mother of his one-year-old son Yanga. Twenty-five-year-old Sindi and the UDM parliamentarian have been dating for the past four years, and until now Nqaba has managed to keep his love life a secret. But the soft-spoken politician believes now is the right time to let the cat out of the bag, so he’s invited…

AKA @akaworldwide Rest assured. South Africa as a whole has spoken and the ANC will become more efficient, stronger and better as a result. NOMZAMO MBATHA @NomzamoMbatha I think the worst thing I can possibly hear after losing a loved one is the generic “God needed His angel back.” MAPS MAPONYANE @MapsMaponyane Former President Thabo Mbeki seems to be playing a game of chess in keeping people guessing which way his vote is going to go. #Elections BOITY THULO @Boity Today is the day.

MODEL and actress AMANDA DU-PONT has landed herself a hot collaboration deal with women’s footwear brand Footwork South Africa. Her collection of stilettos, Footwork X Amanda du-Pont, will be available in September. The star named each pair of shoes in her range after the women in her family. She calls them “the legends in my life, powerful women who will represent powerful shoes”. Her mother Marie-Antoinette, grandmother Princess Ncabile Dlamini and sisters Adele-Kim and Amber-Kayleigh all have heels in their names. The Skeem Saam star credits the support of her family for “keeping me going”. “This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my family – they supported me even when I wanted to give up,” she says. “They always encouraged me to keep going and not to give…

CIRCUMCISION HORROR I felt very sad to read about the botched circumcision of two boys (Circumcision horror, 4 August) and can only imagine the agony experienced by the boys and their families. It is hoped that Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi will be true to his word and make sure the boys get the help they need to fix their unforeseen medical problems. Their sad stories do not mean that medical circumcisions are not the route to go. As the Health Minister said, the State hospitals have done many successful operations to date. The issue of circumcision is very emotional and deeply rooted in culture. But we must never forget that, ultimately, it is the safety of our boys that is most important. MAMTHULI, BOKSBURG AWESOME WOMEN Gone are the days…

‘It is too early to say he is on his way out’ ZIMBABWE’S President Robert Mugabe (92) is like a cat with nine lives. Every time we think the end of his reign is near, he bounces back with renewed political vigour. However, the ongoing socio-economic protests in Zimbabwe have put the country’s succession debate back on the table once again. For months now, Zimbabwean citizens have taken to the streets to express their dissatisfaction with high food prices, unemployment, police brutality and Government corruption, among other things. And they are calling for their leader to go. They accuse the ruling party, Zanu-PF, and Mugabe of failing to resolve the current economic crisis. Analysts say Mugabe’s future remains unclear at this stage. “These things do indicate that he is losing…

‘My mother is the strongest person I know‘ ALL HEADS turn as she walks into the building. Her petite body, the big curly hair that covers her face, and her killer heels are calling out for attention. But Motsoaledi Setumo, better known as Thabitha Cele on Generations: The Legacy, isn’t fazed. Instead, she’s excited about her first interview with DRUM, and she’s ready to share some personal moments from her childhood, as well as her career. Born Motsoaledi Kgothatso Elna Setumo in Kagiso, west of Joburg, the 25-year-old actress had a difficult childhood. Her parents divorced when she was six. “My parents are very reserved” she tells us. “I was very young. I didn’t understand what was happening. But my dad was always in my life.” But two years later,…

OILS ARE not just good for natural hair, but for any hair type. You can reap the benefits if you know which oil to use for your hair and how. Most people believe oils make hair greasy and flat, but this isn’t entirely true. Natural hair can’t retain moisture because of its open hair cuticles, which often leaves hair feeling dry, so oils coat the strands and help keep it hydrated for a bit longer. Here’s the lowdown on hair oils. DIFFERENT OILS AND THEIR USES AVOCADO OIL Avocado oil is great for dry, brittle damaged hair. The oil absorbs well into the hair, helping to revive it from the inside out. It makes the hair soft, strong and more manageable. Avos are rich in vitamins A, E and D…

IT’S A cold winter morning when we arrive in Randburg for Dove’s How Old Are You? campaign. The beauty brand is known for advocating beauty in all shapes, colours and sizes, so this campaign is no different. Their aim is to start a conversation about a touchy subject among women: how they feel about their age . . . and why. Ten celebrities and ordinary women were chosen to take part in the campaign. We were at the photo- and video shoot and spotted a number of familiar faces, including TV personality HULISANI RAVELE, make-up artist to the stars NTHATO MASHISHI and radio personality MELANIE BALA. We also spotted Ideas magazine’s Beauty Editor ELSA KRUGER and former Seventeen magazine editor JANINE JELLARS. All dressed in blue jeans and white T-shirts,…

IT’S OFFICIAL: DR TUMI’s Love & Grace album is the best-selling local gospel release this year. The album was recently certified Gold, and word from distributor Spirit Music Group and the Recording Industry of South Africa is that hard-copy sales are nearing platinum status. Quite a feat in a country where piracy is rife! The album features synth technicians such as Joseph N Makola and Lebogang Morolo. Joseph is credited as a producer and musical director and Lebo as a producer. At Carnival City recently, MATTHEW NKABINDE of Spirit Music Group presented the Heart of a King crooner with the gold disc. “Thank you, my family, for the support,” Dr Tumi said proudly. “I could not have reached this milestone without you. My love goes out to you. Thank you…

THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN MY UNCLE stood behind President Jacob Zuma in the voting queue at Nkandla last week. When it was time to cast his vote, my uncle voted for the IFP. He called me earlier in the week and we talked about who we should vote for. I told him to vote for the party that would deliver the services his area needed. His vote, like many others around the country, was a “klap” in the face of the ruling party. It was a message that the voters are not stupid and that they are tired of empty promises. Many were willing to give the ruling party a “last” chance in the previous municipal elections. But this time, they have said “enough”. It is time for all those…

ONE OF the most striking things about the groom is how calm and soft-spoken he is. On the day of the DRUM photoshoot at La Montagne resort in Ballito, Durban, to celebrate their recent vow renewal ceremony, we get to see just how perfect a couple Bishop Keith Harrington and his wife, Makgoshi Tebogo Harrington, are. Most people display signs of nerves during the hustle and bustle of a photoshoot, but not these two. They’re both very relaxed. “It will go well,” the Bishop reassures us. And indeed it does. We were surprised to hear the couple had renewed their vows only a year after tying the knot (Fourth time lucky, 6 August 2015). But when we ask Bishop Keith why theyd did it so soon, he has the perfect…

‘She might have a valid reason why she’s not into sex, but she needs to let you in on it’ Q SHE WON’T MAKE LOVE I have a problem with the girl I’m dating: We’ve been together for four years but we’ve never had sex. I do everything she wants, and I even provide financial support for her. What should I do because I’m losing patience with her? WAITING, SMS A It seems as if this situation is frustrating and taking a toll on you and your relationship. But I must also commend you for being patient with her for so long.

HORSING AROUND For months a little boy has desperately wanted to go to the zoo and has been pestering his father to take him. Eventually, the father gives in and off they go. When they get back, the boy’s mother asks him if he had a good time. “It was great,” the boy says. “Daddy had fun too, especially when one of the animals came first in a race and he won a lot of money.” THE DIAGNOSIS “There are two reasons for your poor health,” a doctor says, after examining a patient. “It’s entirely due to drinking and smoking.” “That’s a great relief,” the patient says. “I thought you were going to say it was my fault.” CLEVER KID A school class goes on a trip to the local…

HAVE YOU heard of the Paralympics? It’s a huge sporting event that’s similar to the Olympic Games, but all the participants have a dis ability. The name Paralympics means “close to the Olympics”. WHERE DID IT ALL BEGIN? The father of the Paralympics was German-born Brit Sir Ludwig Guttmann (1899-1980). He was a neurologist – a medical specialist who deals with disorders of the nervous system, including the brain. In 1948, Guttmann arranged a sporting event for veterans of World War 2 who’d sustained serious injuries. Some had lost an arm or a leg and others were confined to wheelchairs. Many of these young people had previously played sport but could no longer take part in events with able-bodied participants. Guttmann found it a shame they could no longer compete…

HOW TIME flies. It seems like only yesterday they burst onto the scene with their first chart-toppers, Ngeke Ngiphinde and Kwakutheni. Since then, they’ve gone on to produce numerous hits, not only for themselves but for other artists as well. Now, after a three-year break, they’re making a king-sized comeback. Not only are they celebrating a decade in the industry, they’re also enticing fans with the release of a single from their forthcoming album. Ntobeko and Luthando Ngcizela, better known as the Jaziel Brothers, haven’t changed much since they first stole fans’ hearts in 2006. Their music, on the other hand, has. “Music has evolved a lot,” Klerksdorp-born Ntobeko notes. They describe their sound as inspired by soft rock and Afro-pop with a bit of Jaziel flare added to the…

WITH the Summer Olympic Games underway in Rio, one of the most anticipated events is the 100 m dash. Beginning with preliminary heats on Saturday 13 August, South Africans can look out for our 18­year­old rising sprint star as he tries to make his mark in the domain of global superstar Usain Bolt. Rest assured, Gift Leotlela will do everything in his power to make it to the final on Monday 15 August. Naturally, nobody expects Leotlela, a first­year student at the University of Pretoria, to dethrone the seemingly untouchable Lightning Bolt, but his manager/trainer Hennie Kriel feels confident that the event will be a perfect learning curve for the youngster. “When we started preparations for the 2016 season, we didn’t have the Olympics in mind” says Kriel. “Our focus…

ISIBAYA actor ZAKHELE MABASA is changing his surname, and will now be known as Zakhele Mabasa-Mokone. He says he’s been using his mother’s surname all along but has now decided to use his father’s surname to avoid confusing his children. “Traditionally, I shouldn’t have used my mother’s surname because they [his parents] were traditionally married,” the actor explains. Zakhele (40), who plays impulsive taxi driver S’khaleni in the Mzansi Magic hit soapie, says by taking his father’s surname, he wanted his kids to know his roots. “My father had already paid lobolo for my mother,” he tells us. “They were married at Home Affairs, but they broke up years later.” Interestingly, he joins a number of television personalties who are using double-barrelled surnames such as Sello Maake kaNcube and Dingaan…

WHO WOULDN’T want to crack an invite to Maxim’s annual Hot 100 Party alongside the world’s most beautiful women? Hollywood’s hottest ladies showed off their toned and tanned bodies at the hot reveal. Leading the thigh-high-slit posse and topping the Hot 100 list was Belgium-born Victoria’s Secret Angel STELLA MAXWELL. She sizzled in her racy lacy black number. Yummy mummies MEL B and NICOLE MURPHY slayed in their breathtaking dresses. Scary Spice’s polo-neck frock was naughty and nice, while 48-year-old mom-of-five Nicole’s body-to-die-for was on full display in her velvet dress. Supermodel KARA DEL TORO’s silk black dress hugged her curves in all the right places. Her fresh-look make-up was flawless, too.
