HIS eyes dart around, taking in his surroundings as he tries to be 100% in control – as befits an ace footballer with years of experience. Except this time Reneilwe Letsholonyane (37) isn’t on a pitch with a team of players but in a room with two little people. And it’s clear these guys have him wrapped round their little fingers. The former Kaizer Chiefs and Super-Sport United midfielder has brought kids Keneilwe (12) and Thato (7) to the DRUM studio for a special Father’s Day shoot and to share his thoughts on his most important job: fatherhood. His children inspire everything he does, Reneilwe says. “They’re the ones who push me, who humble me and motivate me to be this person who attempts to be a perfect dad.” Yeye,…

SHE didn’t plan on becoming a mom. She feared having saggy breasts and a body full of stretch marks and there was just too much uncertainty to bring a life into this world, she believed. But then Andrea Dondolo’s little bundle of joy arrived as she was nearing 40 – and he has changed her life in so many ways. In fact, Kuyintando (2) has given her a new lease of life, the actress who plays Bongi in The Queen tells DRUM. It was because of her little boy that she decided to lose some weight. She’s lost 15kg over the past year using a combination of exercise, diet and a detox plan. “I wanted to be there for my son and live longer and I had to choose a…

CAN I DRIVE IN SA WITH A FOREIGN LICENCE? Q I’m a Nigerian citizen and when I came to South Africa I had a driver’s licence that I obtained in Nigeria.

An encounter with a psychic leaves her with the ability to read men’s thoughts – and Ali decides to use this newfound ability to her advantage at work.

THE TAKING OF ANNIE THORNE BY CJ TUDOR (MICHAEL JOSEPH) R219* CJ Tudor wowed with her debut novel The Chalk Man last year and her follow-up is a similar coming-of-age story reminiscent of Stephen King. It begins with the bodies of Julia and Ben, a mother and son, being found in a cottage in the British town of Arnhill. The narrator, Joe Thorne, then takes up the story as he returns to his childhood town to replace Julia as English teacher at his old school. It’s not his dream job but he doesn’t have many options as he battles a gambling addiction. He also has ulterior motives after getting an anonymous email saying, “I know what happened to your sister. It’s happening again.” Joe’s little sister, Annie, went missing when…

SLEEP. It’s one of the body’s most basic functions and as essential to our wellbeing as food and water. Yet for many of us, it’s a really big deal. Hours spent tossing and turning mean we wake up scratchy-eyed and crabby – and even those of us who find it easy to get a good eight hours can battle to feel refreshed and good to go-go-go. But the solution could be as simple as finding out what kind of sleeper you are, says sleep therapist Dr Nerina Ramlakhan, author of the new book The Little Book of Sleep. In this extract she explains how you can get meaningful shut-eye by identifying the kind of sleeper you are – and then putting a few life-changing practices in place. WHAT KIND OF…

IT’S a statistic that will stop anyone in their tracks: 5,3 million South Africans under the age of 50 are HIV-positive, with 1,4 million in KwaZulu-Natal and nearly half a million in Johannesburg. These figures, recently published in the science journal Nature, caused quite a stir because South Africa’s figures were among the worst of the 46 African countries in the study, with Nigeria, Zimbabwe and Kenya coming in much lower than SA. The study found one in every five South Africans between the ages of 15 and 19 were infected with the virus, and that there’d been a 5% increase in the scourge since 2000. But these numbers are nothing to panic about, experts say. The fact that there are so many HIV-positive people in Mzansi could be due…

AJ just wasn’t tough enough to withstand the Drake curse ONE of the perks of being a successful rapper is getting to hang out with top sports stars and attend pretty much any sporting event you fancy. But if you’re a Canadian rapper called DRAKE you may want to reconsider doing that. While the smooth hip-hop star appears to have all the luck in the world, what with a successful career and R3-billion jet of his own, he brings a weird bad luck vibe to sports events, especially when he publicly backs athletes! His latest “victim” is British heavyweight boxer – now former champ – ANTHONY JOSHUA, who suffered his first defeat in the ring after getting an endorsement from the Nice for What hitmaker. Obviously aware of what meeting…

I’VE been blessed with very supportive colleagues at my workplace. We’ve started a club where we do activities together over weekends such as running, hiking and reading. It’s true that it’s less intimidating and more encouraging to try new things with people who support each other. Our team consists of people of all ages, genders and sizes and I love the sense of camaraderie we have. Many of my lessons have come from the people I’ve teamed up with. I went from running just over a kilometre every once in a while to running 5km every weekend. I’m now in love with running! I’m not the best on the team but we encourage one other and I ignore judgments from people who don’t know what I’m trying to achieve. Believe…

‘She sings about her worries being washed away’ EVERYONE thought she was fine. She seemed to have her depression under control and was taking her medication. Then the unthinkable happened. Nichume Siwundla took her own life by jumping off the balcony of a friend’s second-floor flat in Greenstone, Johannesburg, devastating her loved ones and shattering her fans. The singer’s brother, Qamani (29), says the family are taking her death hard and her sisters, Buhle (23) and Nisi (5), “aren’t handling it well at all”. “At the moment we’re working on making sure my sister has a beautiful send-off. My parents are trying to stay strong but she was their everything. “All we ask is for people to give us a bit of time to let the news sink in.” Then…

SHE was numb with cold as she lay on the floor, barely able to move, helpless and weeping. All around her were nurses and doctors but the great-grandmother’s pleas for help or even just a blanket to cover her cold body were ignored, she claims. Martha Marais (76) alleges a security guard dragged her from her hospital room while she was making her way to the bathroom, shoved her to the floor and handcuffed her to the legs of a steel hospital bench. For hours the gogo begged for someone to set her free. “Please, please, you’re hurting me,” she cried. Martha’s ordeal at Mamelodi Hospital in Pretoria went viral after it was filmed and shared on social media, horrifying South Africans and highlighting the barbaric conditions patients are sometimes…

SOME are even younger than South Africa’s democracy and many are still at university. While a lot of young people their age might prefer to party up a storm in their spare time, these guys have something rather more important to do: representing their peers in parliament. A record number of young MPs have been welcomed into the hallowed halls of the house of assembly as President Cyril Ramaphosa’s first full term of office begins. Here’s a look at some of the fresh faces who will help shape the course of the country over the next five years by representing normal South Africans. NOMPENDULO MKHATSHWA (26) AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS She’s one of the most high-profile of the new faces in parliament and was at the forefront of the fees must…

WIDE-LEG PANTS TIP Whether you’re petite, tall or curvy, wide-leg pants create a beautiful silhouette and lengthen legs when worn with heels. CROP PANTS TIP Crop pants can be a bit challenging to wear. If you pair them with flats, make sure to choose a skinny fit that flatters your body shape. Wide-leg crop pants are best paired with heels. PRINTED PANTS TIP When choosing bold print pants, keep the rest of your outfit in solid colours. If you’re more daring and want to try print on print, make sure you stick to a similar colour palette and keep your accessories minimal. FAUX LEATHER PANTS TIP Faux leather pants add an edge to any outfit. You can dress them down with sneakers for a more casual look or add heels…

IT’S good news for first-time buyers. After years of insisting on a deposit of at least 10%, banks are granting the full monty again. But there’s a catch – requirements are stricter and interest rates are higher. Here’s how it works. THE REQUIREMENTS There are three main factors that come into play when applying for a 100% loan, says Mandy Waddington from home-loan experts Ooba. A good credit record, which shows you’ve never skipped payments or fallen behind on any debt you might have. Evidence you can afford the monthly instalment on your home loan. Banks request proof of income and you’ll also have to complete income and expense statements reflecting all your credit contracts, down payments and household expenses.

WRONG ANSWER A woman looks in the bedroom mirror while her husband is reading in bed. “I feel horrible, I look fat and ugly . . . pay me a compliment,” she says. The husband replies, “Well, your eyesight’s just about perfect!” LITTLE SIPHO “Hey, Mom,” little Sipho asks, “Can you give me R20?” “Certainly not.” “If you do,” he goes on, “I’ll tell you what Dad said to the maid when you were at the hairdresser.” His mother’s ears perk up and, grabbing her purse, she hands over the money. “Well? What did he say?” “He said, ‘Hey, Maria, please make sure I’ve got clean socks for tomorrow.’ ” INCENTIVE Government announced that it’s giving incentives to couples with at least five children. Upon hearing this Jabu, who has…

FROM BROKE TO WOKE A year ago Lil Nas X – real name Montero Hill – was a college drop-out sleeping on his sister’s couch in Atlanta and working as a cashier at a fast-food chain. He was bored so he started writing songs and posting them online. Fate stepped in when he found a banjo-inspired beat on YouTube by a 19-year-old from the Netherlands called Young-Kio. “I was picturing like a loner cowboy runaway,” he said. He paid $30 (R440) for the beat and started to write. Three months later, in December, he dropped the tune on SoundCloud. It took off when fans started posting short cowboy videos set to the track on the social media app, TikTok. “And it just kind of slowly went up. People say I…

SHE was just 13 when the original movie was released and she was enthralled. The sharp suits, the shades, the two agents involved with all things alien . . . it was mesmerising. And then there was Will Smith’s theme song. Whenever she hears it now it brings back memories of how she danced and mimicked everything that goes down in the music video. “As a kid, it really captured the imagination of an alien world in which we can coexist with other life forms,” she said. Now Tessa Thompson is engaging in that fabulous fictional world in a far more hands-on way: as one of the dark-suited, sunglasses-wearing, alien-chasing agents in the highly anticipated reboot of the franchise Men in Black (MIB). In MIB : International, Tessa (35) plays…

Lerato Sengadi has allegedly been excluded from HHP’s will after it was revealed the musician had left his entire estate to his 14-year-old son, Leano. DRUM readers weighed in on this revelation. I still love Lerato but I do understand Jabba’s reasons. May his soul rest in peace. SITHEMBISO KOS A will can be contested and Lerato can try. At least 50% of his estate should be hers anyway as she’s a customary wife. THULI MAMNTSHILIBE Fair enough. This makes sense as she was no longer in his life. MMATHAPELO VALE BASHELE Wait until the appeal. If she wins the case she’ll be entitled to half the estate. MBALENHLE MCDUSTY KHUBONE At least he left something for his son. NONCEBA SINDI Now can she start working for her own riches…

LIKE a magician waving a wand, all it takes is a gentle wiggle of fingers on a tiny tummy to make Oyinkosi Mthethwa’s face break into a gummy smile, complete with heart-melting dimples. The man with the magic touch is four-month-old Oyinkosi’s dad, Idols SA winner Khaya Mthethwa, and his grin is as wide as that of his little man. Fatherhood is clearly agreeing with him. “I’m having a very good time. It’s a new journey and I’m really enjoying it.” Khaya (31) and his wife, former Miss South Africa Ntandoyenkosi Kunene-Mthethwa (27), welcomed their bundle of joy in February so this is the singer’s first Father’s Day. “I still can’t believe I’m a dad,” he says, adding that his son has brought him “unimaginable joy”. Something in him changed…

AS IT gets cooler your skincare needs may change. A perfect routine for summer may just not be as effective in winter. Each of the three main skin types – oily, dry or combination – changes with the season. Don’t worry, you won’t have to overhaul your routine or products completely. But knowing what to do and which products to use will come in handy. Combination skin CHARACTERISTICS Your skin is oily on the T-zone but dry on the surrounding areas and you’re prone to breakouts on your forehead and chin. During winter your T-zone feels rough and looks dull. The drier areas become drier, rougher and sometimes look slightly darker. WHAT TO DO Since you’re dealing with skin that’s oily and dry at the same time, use different products…

I WANT TO BE FAITHFUL NOW Q I’m 21 and recently ended a two-year relationship – my first long-term relationship. Before I met him, I thought I’d never be anybody’s steady girlfriend. Guys usually hit and ghost, and I was accustomed to that way of life. My mother gave me up to my irresponsible grandmother when I was two. There was no food in the house, and I was forced to start dating for money at the age of 14. My boyfriend gave me half his lunch money and I sometimes ate at his house. I was raped by his cousin but he didn’t believe me and he dumped me. I was lost and started sleeping with different guys in the name of revenge, but I felt empty and cold.…

THE EUPHORIA was palpable as DRUM readers came to experience the first DRUM Live event, aimed at empowering women and giving them an opportunity to network. The first instalment was held at Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani Hotel in Durban and attendees couldn’t stop gushing about the calibre of speakers and the exciting line-up of entertainers. Money matters are often a sensitive issue, but Capitec brought a fun element to dealing with finances. The bank had a virtual-reality stand where readers could learn more about making smart financial decisions. Capitec’s consumer education officer, Nicky Mbelebele, engaged and educated the audience about “rethinking credit”. While you’d think people might shy away from asking about money matters, they were free to ask questions, thanks to Nicky’s open approach. Rice is a staple…

WHEN he walked on to the field, his opponents trembled in fear. They knew Godfrey Sapula (45), nicknamed The Godfather, would do everything in his power to prevent them from reaching the goalposts. Yet while he was a formidable player with an arsenal of skills that saw him collect over 20 national caps, once his playing days were over, Godfrey battled his own demons. For years he had a gambling problem, he says, speaking publicly about his addiction for the first time. And while he has it under control now, the lure of the casino and the heady possibility of winning are things he has to fight every day of his life. It’s a chronic disease, he says: you must keep battling it or it will take over your body…
