JUSTICE IS DONE IT’S almost impossible to imagine the pain Jane Leteane is going through. Her beautiful boy – the light in her life – was murdered at the hands of a father who simply didn’t want to pay maintenance. Kearabetswe was just 17 years old when all hopes of a bright future ended. There would be no studying medicine, no helping his mother, no spouse, no kids. All because his estranged father didn’t want to pay maintenance for the child he’d fathered (see page 10). The issue of papgeld is always a serious one in South Africa but this is one of the worst cases of not wanting to pay that we’ve seen in a long time. It’s an unimaginable crime and at least justice has finally been done.…

TEARS, beat-downs, accusations of rampant cheating and even an illegitimate child thrown into the mix. No, it’s not an episode of American talk show Cheaters but our very own version – and it’s reeling in viewers hook, line and sinker. When South Africans watched the first episode of Moja Love’s new show Uyajola 9/9 they were expecting the drama and the cheating, but even the most hardcore viewers were shocked by the revelations. A concerned Sebokeng husband wrote to the show claiming his wife of 21 years was having an affair. After an in-depth investigation by host Jub Jub and his crew, it was revealed the wife wasn’t only cheating, her grown firstborn son, Themba, was the result of a long-term affair she’d been having with a neighbour down the…

THEY’RE the heart of many households, keeping the wheels turning as they cook, clean and take care of kids. Many people will readily admit they’d be lost without their domestic workers. And yet a shocking new report shows that despite all their hard work and loyalty, many domestic workers are shamelessly exploited. Long hours, weekend work, low pay and bosses who are willing to flout labour laws – it seems that’s the norm for the approximately one million people employed in South African homes. It’s painful to imagine someone being paid just R110 for eight hours of backbreaking work. Yet this is what many of the respondents surveyed by domestic service company SweepSouth receive. For its annual report on pay and working conditions the cleaning outfit interviewed 1 300 domestic…

‘I look at how music manipulates us to feel emotion’ HE’S an actor, dancer and musician, an uncanny impressionist and a roll-on-the-floor funny comedian – all of which means one thing: this guy is impossible to put in a box. And with so much going for him, it’s little wonder Sne Dladla’s star is rising. He already has two Fleur du Cap theatre awards under his belt, stars in Comedy Central’s Laugh in Your Language on DStv and is touring in his third one-man show, Darker Hue. It’s a lot for one person to juggle – but then most people don’t have the kind of energy Sne’s blessed with. Vitality seems to fizz from every pore when we meet him at his home in Malanshof, Joburg. “I’m an observational comic,”…

STEP 1 You’ll need to work with small sections of hair at a time so pin up the rest of your hair to keep it out of the way. Once this is done, clamp your hot straightener over the roots of a small section of hair. STEP 2 Pull the clamped straightener all the way to the ends of your hair. STEP 3 Keeping the straightener firmly clamped, wrap your hair around it by making a rolling motion with the tool. Keep the straightener in that position for about five seconds and release. When you release the straightener, pull it out of the spiral instead of unravelling the curl. Tip Don’t make more than three passes of the straightener on the same section of hair as too much heat will…

HE WON’T END HIS AFFAIR Q I’m 55 and I’ve been married to the same man for over 20 years. We have three children together. Our sex life has been bad for a few years but I recently started feeling better about myself and for the past few months we’ve been sharing a bed again. Yet just as I thought life was getting back to normal I discovered he’s been having an affair for two years and now I feel betrayed and bad about myself again. He says he won’t stop the affair but will stay married to me. What should I do? LG, EMAIL A Broken trust is never easy to rebuild. It was good that you worked on your self-esteem until you felt good about yourself again. The…

You know Octavia Spencer from her Oscar-nominated roles in The Help, The Shape of Water and Hidden Figures, which finally got her the well-deserved gong. Now, after more than 20 years in showbiz, Octavia (46) finally takes the lead in a movie, but her role in Ma is very different from what you’d expect! She stars as Sue Ann, a loner in a quiet town. When a teen asks her to buy some alcohol for him and his friends, Sue Ann sees it as a chance to make some new acquaintances. She invites them to her house, telling them this way they can avoid drinking and driving. But there are some rules: one of the kids has to stay sober, no swearing and don’t go upstairs. And please, call her…

1 The 25-year-old was born Juan Luis Londoño Arias in the town of Medellín in Columbia. A music lover from an early age, he started recording songs at 16. In 2012 he released his debut, Magia. 2 His breakthrough album was 2015’s Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy which led to successful collaborations with fellow Spanish singers Thalía, Shakira and Ricky Martin. He describes his style of music as “urban pop”. 3 His latest record, 11:11, has 16 tracks and guest artists include Ricky Martin, Ozuna, Ty Dolla $ign and Nicky Jam. Madonna also features on the track Soltera. “I love her,” he said of working with the queen of pop. 4 He has the vocal range of a tenor and cites Puerto Rican salsa star Héctor Lavoe, Michael Jackson and Ricky…

SHE wasn’t having a great day. Thirsty and hungry, all she wanted from the school tuck shop was a bottle of water and an apple – but all the store had were less-thanhealthy snacks. Glancing at the labels, she became increasingly annoyed. Additives, preservatives, baffling percentages, illogical numbers – they were all crammed onto the stickers on the packets on offer and she trudged gloomily back to class. Then a light bulb went off in Phoebe Mgxaji’s brain. “I had an epiphany,” she tells us at her home in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, where she lives with her mom, Nadia (43), and sister, Zoe (19). “I thought, this is a school, an environment where we’re taught we should eat healthily and be healthy. But then they don’t sell something as basic…

CAN they or can’t they? Will this ICC Cricket World Cup be the one in which the Proteas finally shake off the ghosts of the past and prove they’re winners, not chokers? ‘The focus might be on other teams – and that could be good for us’ Since South Africa’s return to international cricket in 1991 they have competed in seven World Cups but, although they’ve made it to four semifinals, victory has always remained just out of their grasp. Now with the biggest showcase of oneday international (ODI) cricket kicking off this week, fans are desperately hoping this will be the Proteas’ year. That when it counts their players will dig in and there won’t be any silly runouts, dropped catches, lost wickets or missed opportunities. With batsmen and…

WE’RE battling to get our heads around this, but why would anyone be mean to MICHAEL EALY? He must be the sweetest, prettiest man in Tinseltown, yet CHRIS ROCK didn’t always seem to think so. Michael and the comedian co-starred in the action comedy Bad Company in 2002 and the actor has now told the Chicago Tribune the superstar comic had been pretty nasty to him when he returned to the set for reshoots. “Right before [the director] says ‘action’, Chris looks over at me and he says: ‘Oh (pause). Still in the business, huh?’ “When he said that, it was like a Mike Tyson left hook. And I knew he wasn’t joking around. I think maybe he was trying to disguise it as playful teasing, but it was a…

BEING a young person in South Africa might be the hardest thing ever. Yes, we have freedom and opportunities but, often, getting ahead depends on who you know. There are many graduates who are unemployed because of the “experience” that employers require from job seekers. In reality you have to work hard at your studies to get a qualification and hustle even harder to make ends meet. Young people are always being encouraged to start their own businesses but this requires capital and very few business people and financial institutions are willing to back a new and unknown business. If only we could give one another a chance, then we might be able to curb unemployment and help grow our country, together. BARBARA LUVHENGO, EMAIL THE WINNING LETTER RECEIVES R300.…

HE WAS the apple of his mother’s eye, the brilliant boy who was top of his class and wanted to study medicine at the University of Cape Town after finishing school. Jane Leteane (42) was unemployed so she did the only thing she could think of to secure her son’s future: she applied for future maintenance from his estranged father to cover the university fees. Little did she know that by doing so she was digging her beloved boy’s grave. Sixteen-year-old Kearabetswe Leteane was shot and killed in April 2017 in the backroom of his grandparents’ home in Thaba Nchu in the Free State. His father, Tebogo Molatole (47), a former teacher, was arrested soon afterwards, along with his wife, Kelebogile (49). The pair was convicted of murder, for hiring…

“These are legal requirements. Failure to comply is breaking the law,” says Aisha Pandor, CEO of SweepSouth. Gloria Kente (RIGHT), a representative for the SA Domestic Service and Allied Workers Union (Sadsawu), says the union deals with many cases each week involving employers who treat their workers unfairly. She says domestic workers who are being inadequately paid or badly treated should reach out to Sadsawu. “If employers don’t want to pay we take them to the department of labour. The department must deal with the employer and we do a follow-up.” Chief director for labour relations at the department of labour Thembinkosi Mkalipi says the department has inspectors who investigate these cases. They have the power to hit errant employers with penalties and make them compensate their workers. Alternatively, workers…

SPICY food is synonymous with India. In the last of our series on world flavour profiles we focus on ingredients that are often used in combination in curries, such as chilli, ginger, curry leaves, cayenne pepper, fenugreek, fennel seeds, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and garlic. Protein can include meat but is often in the form of pulses and other vegetables. VINDALOO SERVES 4 PREPARATION: 10–15 MIN MARINATING: 30 MIN COOKING: 50 MIN This hot curry with its mustard and vinegar flavours is usually made with pork, but we’ve opted for lamb.

I DON’T WANT ANY MEDICAL PROCEDURES Q I’m an adult male and I holds certain spiritual beliefs, one of them being that I don’t want any medical procedures to be done to me. I want to be left to die. Is this legally allowed and, if so, how can I make sure my wishes are followed? ANONYMOUS, RANDBURG A Every adult is allowed to give consent for medical assistance or to refuse medical assistance. In the event that you don’t want any medical assistance, you need to have a signed document called a living will. The purpose of a living will is to guide your family and doctors on what they can and can’t do. If you want to be left to die, this must be stated in the living…

DISCRETION Six guys are playing poker when Smith loses R5 000 on a single hand, clutches his chest and drops dead at the table. Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five complete their playing time standing up. Roberts looks around and asks, “Now, who is going to tell the wife?” They draw straws. Rippington, who’s always a loser, picks the short one. They tell him to be discreet and gentle and not to make a bad situation any worse than it is. “Gentlemen! Discreet? I’m the most discreet man you will ever meet. Discretion is my middle name, leave it to me.” Rippington walks over to the Smith house, knocks on the door, the wife answers, and asks what he wants. Rippington says, “Your husband just lost R5…

HOMICIDE LOGIC FT EMINEM This collab is pure rap genius! Logic has cited Eminem as “the man I’ve studied my whole life” and the track comes a few months after he opened for Em at his concert in Hawaii.

AFEW kilometres from Biko Nature Reserve was a village called Mumamelo. That was the village where a tall, dark fellow by the name of Ndivhuwo was born. He was raised by his single mother after his father passed away when he was in Grade 2. Ndivhuwo was very smart, by far the best learner in his class. When he was studying for matric, his teachers made sure they gave him special attention. They knew he had the potential to pass well and go to the best university in the country. He didn’t disappoint – he passed with seven distinctions, making him the first learner in the district to achieve this feat. He was easily accepted to study electrical engineering at university and was given a bursary to cover his tuition…

BLACK Panther and 9-1-1 star ANGELA BASSETT has added another honour to her many awards and accolades – she now has a doctorate. The actress (60) was awarded the honorary degree from Morehouse College in Atlanta. The historically black university said she was being honoured for her leadership, service and excellence that “set the bar high for women in Hollywood”. Addressing this year’s graduates, the actress urged them to emulate fellow Morehouse alumni and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr, while also making their own way in the world. “I want you to proudly walk in your own shoes,” she said. “You know what it’s like when you get a new pair of shoes? I want you to be uncomfortable, I want you to be mindful, I want you…

JASON MITCHELL, the actor who shot to fame playing the late rapper Eazy E in hit movie Straight Outta Compton, has been dropped like a hot potato by his agents, streaming service Netflix and the producers of series The Chi. Jason (32) won’t be returning for the show’s third season and he’s lost his role in the upcoming Netflix movie Desperados too. This follows allegations he’d been sexually harassing his The Chi co-star TIFFANY BOONE, as well as other coworkers. It’s alleged the actress felt so unsafe with her co-star that she regularly asked her fiancé, actor MARQUE RICHARDSON, to be on the set when she had scenes with Jason The , Hollywood Reporter stated. A source told the publication his agents “made a very quick decision” to drop the…

Actress Meagan Good is married to a preacher but rarely attends church “because my experience with some church folks has not been that positive”. DRUM readers share their thoughts. Church is not God’s home address. You can visit but you don’t have to be a tenant. LEBO TSIAKO There is no God in church, any church. God is within you. GWINYINTUTHU MAGEBA She is not a religious fanatic, she is a spiritual woman. MALCOLM Y MCKAYA She is too busy for church. THEREZA NAZREC I’m not surprised she’s doing this. Some so-called Christians seem to have forgotten the lessons Jesus tried to teach us about tolerance and humility and respect. TEBOHO MAZIYA A lot of people are turning away from the church because of church folks. Whatever happened to taking…

‘I guess everyone needs to go through a dry spell at some point in their lives, just to strengthen their faith’ SHE’S everywhere you look these days – turn on a channel and you’ll see her gorgeous face. Yet when Winnie Ntshaba and her 15 colleagues were infamously sacked from Generations in 2014 for going on strike and demanding a salary increase, she wasn’t sure she would work on TV again. But five years is a long time in showbiz – and she’s once again one of the most sought-after actresses in Mzansi. Winnie (43) is making waves in Isithembiso, in which she plays an ex-con who’s just been released from jail after serving a 20-year sentence for murder. The multitalented actress is also casting a spell on audiences as…

Psychologist Elliott Kotze suggests practical steps that includes keeping a written record that can be used as evidence if you decide to take action against your harasser. It will also help you keep track of events and serve as a reminder that you aren’t over-reacting. Include your line manager, or their line manager, in all communication, and use clear, unapologetic and concise language to indicate why you’re uncomfortable or unable to comply with certain instructions. It may be impossible to get support from colleagues and it is therefore important to build a solid support structure outside of the workplace. Carefully consider the pros and cons of staying in an abusive workplace. While it may seem a financial risk to leave, burn-out or a psychological breakdown can have even more dire…

Madea (TYLER PERRY) and a posse of relatives get together to celebrate a wedding anniversary, but events take an unexpected turn and funeral arrangements need to be made instead.

SHE was fast asleep that winter morning when her home exploded, shattering her already fragile security and almost claiming her life. Doctors considered it a miracle Aysha al Saloom survived – but the little girl everyone knew had been wiped out forever. The missile that struck her family home in Heesh, a small town in north-western Syria, exploded a gas heater near the spot where she was sleeping, turning Aysha into a human torch and melting her face. For weeks she clung to life in a hospital in neighbouring Turkey, yet another victim of the civil war that has raged through Syria since 2011. Her mother, Hana, prayed for her every day but it would be months before she saw her daughter again – and when she did, she didn’t…

ONE woman, one island, two sizzling bikini shoots separated by 22 years of life, love, motherhood, work – and, of course, food, glorious food. Tyra Banks’ decision to star on the cover of the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue has created plenty of buzz. There’s the fact she made history in 1997 by being the first African-American woman to feature solo on the cover of the magazine – and has now come out of modelling retirement to grace the glossy front page again. There’s the itsy-bitsy yellow bikini that hugs her curves and her 34DD breasts. There are the wonderfully honest, down-to-earth comments she’s made about being 13kg heavier now than she was in her sultry polka-dot bikini pose as a nubile 23-year-old model in 1997. She had every intention…

THEY’VE been married for eight years yet he still finds ways to steal her heart. One Gospel TV presenter MILLICENT MASHILE (31) was pleasantly surprised when her husband, PONTSHO (38), recently bought her a brand-new white Volkswagen Golf MK7. “A few months ago we were involved in a car accident and we lost our car. Even though our second car is still new, my husband thought he should buy me this car as well,” Millicent says. Even though she wasn’t expecting it, she’s loving her new baby. The mom of eight-year-old twins, KAMOGELO and KAROLLO, tells us they’re also planning on growing their family. “We’ve been actively trying to conceive for two years. It’s so weird because with the twins it wasn’t even planned, it happened so fast,” says Millicent,…

WE’RE all for expanding horizons, ongoing education and back-up plans, but is it just us, or is CIARA going a teeny bit overboard with that varsity sweatshirt? The singer posted an Insta pic of herself rocking a white Harvard top after it was reported she’d been accepted into the top university’s business of entertainment, media and sports programme, which teaches students to “develop and execute effective business strategies”. “I always dreamt of going to college, but by God’s grace, my music career took me on a path that I’m so thankful for,” she wrote in the caption. “This week I got accepted into Harvard! Words cannot describe my excitement!” The singer has two companies, Beauty Marks Entertainment and Why Not You Productions, which she launched with her husband, Russell Wilson,…

THIS JUSSIE SMOLLETT drama has more twists than a cheap garden hose! The latest news is that more revelations are to come now that the actor’s court file will be unsealed. Chicago judge Steven Watkins ordered the record to be unsealed, saying the actor no longer had a right to privacy because he’d been talking to the media about his case. Illinois laws allow for court files to be sealed in certain cases where people have been acquitted or the charges have been dropped. The law is partly meant to ensure that innocent people aren’t rejected from potential job opportunities because of an arrest record. It’s not yet clear when all the evidence will be made public. The unsealing follows an application by media lawyer Natalie Spears, representing 15 news…
