REMEMBER WHERE YOU’RE GOING Whether you wake up in a mud hut, shack or an air-conditioned bedroom, we all want to do well in life. Behind every success story is an embarrassing first effort, a stumble, a setback or a radical change of direction. We must all overcome these first clumsy steps before we can clinch the victor’s cup. Coming from the villages myself, I meet children who seem hopeless about the future. They think where they grow up will work against their progress. That’s not true because in life it’s not about where you come from but where you’re going. All you need is confidence, determination, commitment and dedication to free yourself from poverty and be counted among the best. PEBBLE MGIBA, HLUVUKANI VILLAGE HEALTHY, TOGETHER My fellow men,…

Diminutive actor and comedian Themba Ntuli recently married Hope Masilo. DRUM readers shared their thoughts on the union. He is so handsome and his wife is beautiful too. THANDEKA MSOMI This is the most beautiful love story ever. AUDREY MAMAHOPE MOHALE Marriage is a blessing from God and we need not think beyond that. Congratulations to the couple. Stay blessed.

This guy reminds me of Emmanuel Lewis and Gary Coleman. AGNES MKHIZE People can be stupid sometimes, judging from some comments. Do you think his height should stop him from getting married? I always watch shows with little people on TLC and people…

A judge, who asked to remain anonymous, says getting a judge to recuse him or herself “is an old trick” used by lawyers, and is also a delaying tactic. The trial could start from scratch or the prosecution team could bring an application asking the new judge to allow the trial to continue from where it had been paused so Cheryl wouldn’t be forced to give evidence again, he says. There is no obligation on the court to start the trial from the beginning. “In fact, the sensitivity of the trial and its effects on the first witness have already served as proof . . . there are substantial and extenuating grounds that warrant the matter should not start [from scratch].” The judge expects the defence team to challenge this…

SIYA contacted me first.” This is the message the woman at the centre of a storm involving Springbok captain Siya Kolisi and his wife, Rachel, wants to get across. She also wants people to get to know the real her and how she’s passionate about health and fitness. Marike Botha, a 23-year-old fitness model, maintains she’s done nothing wrong – but thanks to a now-infamous “bum shot” she’s found herself maligned and threatened on social media to such an extent she’s had to get a bodyguard. Her life’s been turned upside down and something that was innocent was blown completely out of proportion, Marike says. She posted that picture to her Instagram account to inspire other gym fanatics. Yes, the shot might be considered too revealing by some but there…

TWENTY-FOUR hours. That’s how long it took for R8 million to disappear from the account. Who would do such a thing, they wondered? Who would take money set aside to make sure South African arts legends didn’t die without a cent to their names? The iconic singers, theatre doyens and internationally renowned actors who are part of the Living Legends Legacy Programme (LLLP) wanted answers. And they got them when one of their own was nabbed in Durban by the Hawks’ serious commercial crime investigation unit. World-renowned arts and theatre guru Welcome Msomi was arrested and appeared in the Palm Ridge magistrate’s court on 18 March in connection with the theft. He was remanded in custody and is due to appear again on 2 April. Iconic singer Abigail Kubeka (74)…

A LICK OF PAINT Make your ceiling pop by painting it an interesting colour. Your chosen colour should match your existing décor. Ceiling paint drips less, making it easier to apply. It has a flat texture that better hides flaws, such as cracks, but it doesn’t reflect light. If you’re using darker colours, satin or eggshell finishes will give you a reflective sheen but it’ll show imperfections more clearly than flat-textured paints. If you paint your ceiling a darker colour than your walls it will appear lower, creating a more intimate space. Paint it a lighter colour and the space will seem larger. Using the same colour on your walls and ceiling creates a modern look. If a room receives little natural light, stick to a white ceiling. It will…

WILL I FIND THE ONE? Q I’m about to turn 37 and I really want to build myself a warm home with someone who’s ready to be loved and love in return. My problem is I don’t know how to tell if a woman is the one. Twice before I’ve taken women who I thought were right to meet my family and twice I’ve been hurt because we ended up separating. How will I know when someone is ready for marriage? LONELY, EMAIL A What you need to do is take time to get to know the person before you make the decision to introduce her to your family. Quite often people don’t show their true colours at the beginning of a relationship, and they only come through much later.…

WIDOWS THRILLER. 130 MIN. 2018. 18. The widows of a gang of thieves, killed during a heist, are forced to finish their late husbands’ final job to settle their debts to a crime boss. Based on an ’80s British TV series, the movie starts out like many action thrillers but it has considerable depth and smarts – and a lot to say about poverty, politics, violence, policing and corruption. VIOLA DAVIS delivers a stunning performance as the leader of the new gang. AQUAMAN SCI-FI ADVENTURE. 137 MIN. 2018. 13DLPV. This flick teeters on the brink of being a great superhero movie. It has a charismatic lead in JASON MOMOA, a great supporting cast, nice touches of humour and wildly inventive visuals, but the mix doesn’t quite gel. Maybe there’s just…

HIS bride personifies the music that makes his world go round and Kwesta isn’t shy to let the world know how he feels about the woman he loves. “What a song you are. I may never be worthy to dance to it but I’ll burst my eardrums trying to listen right and break my legs learning the moves. I love you. Let’s make music forever,” the rapper wrote on Instagram after the couple’s elegant white wedding. Senzo “Kwesta” Vilakazi (30) and Yolanda Mvelase (28) tied the knot about two years after their traditional ceremony in KwaZulu-Natal, celebrating with a lavish yet low-key affair at the Thaba Eco Hotel in Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve in Joburg. The ceremony and reception venue were beautifully decorated in rose gold and white, with dozens of…

RIGHT TO LIGHT I HOPE our government knows having access to electricity is also a human right. Many South Africans take electricity for granted. Blackouts make daily tasks, such as refrigerating food or working or studying after dark, nearly impossible. A lack of electricity fundamentally restricts the development of our country. Access to electricity reduces poverty, increases opportunities and improves health, productivity and living standards. It powers devices that make daily living more efficient, freeing people to grow the economy in more creative ways. Electricity is an essential part of innovation, progress and life. It is our basic right, and we’re being denied it. MASEDI FUSI, JOHANNESBURG THE WINNING LETTER RECEIVES R300. Letters should be about 100 words.

JUNE 2018 She takes on a woman on Twitter who described Siya as her type in a tweet. Rachel says her husband is nobody’s type and reminds her Siya is a married man with children. JUNE 2018 Top Billing presenter Lorna Maseko comes under fire when a friend says she’d like to date a black man and Siya’s name is mentioned. Rachel tweets how she’s “seen everything” and she and her husband have made it through good and bad times. She asks people to respect her marriage. SEPTEMBER 2018 Rachel takes offence with an Instagram influencer who posted a pic of herself with the Springbok star and captioned it, “The Kolisi glow”.

GLUTEN This is a protein found in grains such as wheat, barley, rye and spelt and is the culprit in three conditions: celiac disease wheat allergy gluten intolerance DAIRY Products containing dairy can be problematic for those suffering from: milk allergy - your immune system reacts to milk products. dairy intolerance - your body is unable to properly digest the lactose in dairy products. SUGAR The carbohydrates you eat and drink (whether bread, potatoes or fizzy drinks) are broken down to glucose (sugar).

CHUCK NORRIS Chuck Norris doesn’t need Twitter, he’s already following you. There used to be a street named after Chuck Norris, but it was changed because nobody crosses Chuck Norris and lives. Some magicians can walk on water, Chuck Norris can swim through land. Chuck Norris died 20 years ago, death just hasn’t built up the courage to tell him yet. When Chuck Norris was asked if he believed that the world was going to end in 2012 he responded: “Depends how I’m feeling that day.” Chuck Norris counted to infinity – twice. Chuck Norris and Superman once fought each other on a bet. The loser had to start wearing his underwear on the outside of his pants. Chuck Norris can single-handedly surround his victims.

Offset is the last of the Migos trio to release a solo album and it’s an ode to black fathers – aptly titled Father of 4. On the debut solo record, the rapper delves deeply into his personal issues and what it means to be a dad. FATHERHOOD FEELS On his album and in interviews the rapper, real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus, has been open about his own lack of a father figure. “I don’t care how gangster you are, who you’re supposed to be or how trapped out you are, to see a n***a with their pop breaks you down,” he told Esquire magazine. JUST A BOY The rapper was 17 the first time he became a father – his son Jordan is now nine. “The time was getting…

Why didn’t the oil and water mix? Because the oil is lighter, or less dense, than water – which is why it settles on top. It’s also because of something called polarity. Polarity means a molecule – the smallest building block of any substance – is positively charged at one end and negatively charged at the other. Water is a polar molecule and oil is made up of nonpolar molecules (they don’t have a positive or negative charge) so the oil molecules will stick to one another and won’t be attracted to the water. Unlike the oil, the food colouring is made up of polar molecules, which is why it mixes with the water.…

HE’S a member of one of the best-known gospel groups in the land and his rich, powerful voice has delivered many memorable anthems over the years. Sibusiso “SbuNoah” Mthembu recently released his debut solo album, A David Kind of Psalm – proof his music career is going from strength to strength. So it comes as a surprise to hear music wasn’t the 33-year-old’s first calling: growing up in Umlazi, Durban, he dreamt of becoming a doctor – and now he is finally studying what he loves. But it’s been a long road and he’s learnt a lot of lessons at the school of hard knocks. When he was in school he thought he’d have no trouble getting into medical school. His grades were good – he was so adept at…

Dine with me ENNIE Tembie Cleary, better known as BARBIE BRAZIL, surprised her guests when she served them walkie talkies on the popular cooking show Come Dine with Me South Africa. Yet it wasn’t the chicken feet that freaked them out – it was the fact they were pink! “I didn’t want to win the competition, I wanted to shock them,” Ennie (33) said. We asked her to share a few of her culinary secrets. 1. Your go-to dish for a dinner party? I really love fish but also anything that tastes great goes – as long as it’s pink! 2. Ingredients you always keep in the kitchen? Garlic, pink salt and coriander. Apart from that I make it up as I go along. I taste it and if…

SHE couldn’t believe what she was hearing. In fact, when Judge Mandela Makaula announced he’d recused himself from the highly publicised trial of pastor Timothy Omotoso, she just froze. Cheryl Zondi – the first witness to testify against the wildly popular pastor of Jesus Dominion International Church – knew this meant she may have to relive the nightmare. Last year Cheryl (23) described in harrowing detail how Omotoso (60) allegedly sexually groomed her. He raped and assaulted her several times, she told the court, dating back to when she was 14 years old. Omotoso and his two co-accused, Zukiswa Sitho (28) and Lusanda Sulani (36), are facing 63 charges and 34 alternative charges including rape, sexual assault, human trafficking and racketeering. When Judge Makaula recently recused himself from the trial…

HER role was starting to take over her life. Everywhere she went people would see Susan, and after more than 12 years spent playing the character who could blame them? It was time for something different, Maumela Mahuwa decided. And so the long-time Muvhango actress, prophet and gospel singer took the plunge into entrepreneurship and opened her own film school, the African Academy of Cinematic Arts (AACA), in the trendy district of Maboneng in Johannesburg. This was an opportunity to emerge from her role on the long-running soapie and become something else altogether: a teacher. And it’s been worth it, as her first group of students recently completed their two-year course and will be graduating in a glitzy ceremony this month. She’s loving her new calling in life, Maumela tells…

THE weather formation hung ominously over the country, a swirling mass of water and wind that would unleash chaos and destruction of biblical proportions on the land below. As day after day of unrelenting rain and 165km/h gales battered Mozambique and moved into Zimbabwe and Malawi, the scale of the human cost became evident. People clung to trees, scrambled onto rooftops and made for the steep stands in sports stadiums as a sea of brown water rose around them. And while they waited for help, bodies floated by. Cyclone Idai may be the worst disaster ever to strike the southern hemisphere, according to the United Nations (UN). More than 1,7 million people are believed to have been affected, whole villages have been destroyed and vital infrastructure has been torn apart.…

HELP! My car was damaged by a boom at a shopping centre!” This distress call came from a reader who wanted to know what his options were. If he’d had insurance, the answer would’ve been relatively simple, as it’s the insurance company’s job to deal with incidents and accidents. But he wasn’t insured so we asked two experts, Ernest North of Naked Insurance and Charl Marais of legal firm JS Marais Inc, what he could do. LIKELIHOOD OF BEING REIMBURSED The company that owns the car park or the shopping centre usually has what’s known as public liability cover, North says. This is cover for any legal liability to someone else, such as the vehicle owner (called the “third party” in insurance terms), because of an incident on their premises.…

ACTING WITH ALIENS Ashton Sanders was mesmerising as the teen Chiron in Moonlight and moved to bigger-budget action with last year’s Equalizer 2 opposite Denzel Washington. Now the 23-year-old actor and model is taking on aliens in the sci-fi thriller Captive State, out now. UNDER SIEGE Captive State is set 10 years after an alien invasion and the occupation of Earth. Ashton plays Gabriel, a resistance fighter who gets recruited by a police officer who is collaborating with the occupiers. He claims to be attempting to unite the world against the invaders, but is he? BIG LEAGUES It’s a much bigger-scale film than Ashton’s previous outings and he admitted his “heart is more in independent [films], but sometimes these major films come along that are pretty good, you know? “If…

VENGEFUL BY VE SCHWAB (TOR BOOKS) R385* If you like an escapist superhero story, add this to your to-read list. It’s not going to win any literary prizes but it’s a fast-paced tale for fans of film franchises like the X-Men and TV shows like Heroes. In Vengeful, sequel to the equally delicious Vicious, archenemies Eli Cardale (now going by Eli Ever) and Victor Vale are still key characters. They’re as superhuman as ever, with all the dangers it brings in a world where humans hunt people like them. But this book adds a few more extraordinaries, as they refer to them, and they’re the ones who stand out because they’re strong female characters. Marcella can turn anything and anyone to dust and June can take on the identities of…

IT’S often seen as a woman’s crowning glory. Curly, braided, wavy, straight or a ’fro, the right hairstyle can change your attitude and bring with it a whole lot of confidence. But for men, hair is often something they know they’ll have to bid goodbye to one day. The older they get, the further their hairline goes, with many choosing to just shave it all off rather than highlight their bald spots. That is, until the man weave came along. The men-wearing-weaves trend has been quietly gaining momentum overseas, with guys walking into salons half-bald and coming out looking like R&B legends or movie stars. And South Africans are quickly catching on, thanks to celebrity stylist Patrick Missile. Patrick has been making waves in the country after dudes rocking their…

PROTEAS WIN It was a good week for the national cricket team. The Proteas completed a T20 series win over Sri Lanka, cementing their dominance over the visitors by beating them 5-0 in the ODIs and 3-0 in the T20s. The Lankans won the Test series 2-0. Sri Lanka were bowled out for 137 after chasing a revised target of 183 in 17 overs when rain affected the third match at Bidvest Wanderers. But it proved too much for the visitors, who were on the back foot after a spectacular batting display by Reeza Hendricks (66) and Dwaine Pretorius (77 not out). World Cup, here we come!
