‘I am learning and growing every day’ FOR years she’s had the public’s respect as the child star who made it big. She was only nine years old when Arthur Mofokate signed her to his record label and groomed her into a sensational dancer and singer. Under the kwaito king’s mentorship Chomee became known as the first lady of 999 Music. Two years ago she left her ex-lover’s music stable to spread her wings as an independent artist under her own company, Divatainment – and many people were all for the move. But barely a year after breaking out on her own, she was back at 999 Music, and reportedly happy to be part of Arthur’s company once again. It should come as no surprise that Chomee is openly supporting…

Dr Greg Dyer, an oncologist from Pretoria, says large breasts generally are at higher risk of developing cancer. “Gigantomastia means big breast or rapid-growing breast tissue. A person with this condition will be predisposed to developing breast cancer but it’s not an absolute thing. Chances are just greater [if you have big breasts],” he says. After Camilla has the double mastectomy, she’ll consult an oncologist to see if the cancer has spread to other parts of her body. If it’s found to have spread, Dyer says her doctors will likely look at chemotherapy, radiation and hormone treatment as possible further treatments.…

IT’S that time again – people are fed up with winter and the motivation to do anything other than hibernate is at an all-time low. The phrase “summer bodies” is back on the lips of fitness fundis who are keen to drag us into the gym or out for a walk at the very least. Thick, baggy clothing will soon become much skimpier, they remind us. And you never know, we may even find ourselves on a beach in a bikini in a couple of months. This thought is enough to send many of us into a panicked search for a quick-fix solution – and some may decide to go on a detox diet, just like they did at the beginning of the year in an effort to recover from…

HOW can we cut back even more when our belts are already so tight? According to the 2019 Old Mutual Savings and Investment Monitor, 30% of employed urban households have fallen behind on paying accounts in these tough times. Your Money went in search of more ways to reduce monthly expenses. 1 REVISE YOUR INSURANCE Shop around with various insurers and find out if you can get a lower premium for the same cover on funeral, home contents, car and building insurance. Many people don’t do this because they think it’s too much trouble but the process doesn’t take long at all. A broker can do a cover and premium comparison for you, or you can call different insurers and find out what they charge. Websites such as hippo.co.za and…

YOURS AND MINE Two drunks are in a bar. The first one says, “My wife is an angel.” The other replies, “You’re lucky! Mine is still alive.” SIGN OF THE TIMES As a little girl climbs onto Santa’s lap, Santa asks, “And what would you like for Christmas?” The child stares at him open-mouthed and horrified for a minute, then gasps: “Didn’t you get my e-mail?” EMERGENCY SERVICES A couple of hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cellphone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator, in a calm…

A VIGILANTE THRILLER. 87 MIN. 2018. 16LV. If you could get your hands on the men who assault the women who love them, what would you do? This is the fantasy Sadie (OLIVIA WILDE) gets to enact when she offers her brutal services to abused women. Revenge films have been washing over the big screen in bloody waves but it’s usually men taking revenge for the deaths of their loved ones. This flick is more in touch with reality and feels especially relevant to SA.…

HE’S been in and out of therapy since he lost her. Mobi Dixon has been battling to come to terms with the passing of his protégé, Nichume Siwundla. To make matters worse, the producer and record boss was accused of having a hand in the death of the house music sensation, who featured on his smash hit Thobela. Nichume (27) died in June after jumping off a friend’s balcony in Greenstone, Johannesburg. Her sudden passing prompted social-media users to speculate why the rising star would take her life just as her career was taking off. It was Mobi Dixon, they said. The Top Chap Media boss hadn’t been paying the singer the salary they’d agreed on after he’d asked Nichume – who was a full-time ophthalmologist – to quit her…

IT’S okay to feel hurt, but it’s never healthy to bottle things up and pretend they never happened. Many people suffer from depression and anxiety due to a lack of support and we often don’t want to talk to counsellors because of our cultural beliefs. A lot of people still think going to see a psychologist means you’re crazy or unstable but that is not the case. Psychologists offer a safe and private space for us to unburden ourselves and to get advice. We need more of these counsellors in schools, at clinics and at workplaces to let our people offload and get the weight off their shoulders. Let’s encourage ourselves to talk to people so that we can move forward with our lives, free of stress and in better…

TALENTED, vibrant, funky and fresh. Those were words people used when referring to Babes Wodumo soon after she made waves on the music scene. These days the singer is still the talk of the town – but none of it has to do with her musical talent. First there was that video of Mampintsha beating her. The outpouring of sympathy was vast and wide but then she dropped all charges and went back to him, drawing heaps of criticism. Then Babes, real name Bongekile Simelane, sparked pregnancy rumours when she shared a photo of herself with the record boss, captioning it “Baby Daddy”. And social-media users recently called on music lovers to boycott the musicians after Babes and Mampintsha released a picture of themselves brandishing guns to promote their Bonnie…

‘The Earth is important. If we keep polluting the planet we will have nowhere to live’ IN THE area where she lives, people don’t typically recycle or pay much thought to the impact waste has on the environment. In a township stricken with poverty, issues such as employment, proper housing and adequate water and sanitation facilities are far more pressing than the state of the planet. And quite rightfully so, many would argue. But for one passionate preteen, teaching her community how to take care of their environment is at the top of her to-do list. Drive through some of the streets in Khayelitsha, a sprawling township in Cape Town, and you’re likely to see food wrappers, plastic bags and other waste materials strewn all over the sidewalks. This is…

Your savings plan should be anchored in sensible and realistic ambitions for your children, says Kim Potgieter, a certified financial planner and life planning director at Chartered Wealth Solutions. “Ask yourself if attending a private school is essential for your child. Are branded clothing or extravagant birthday parties necessary?” It’s natural for parents to want the best for their kids. “But at what expense?” Potgieter asks. “What are you willing to sacrifice as a family? You don’t want to be so busy working and chasing money to fund the grand ambitions you have for your children that you end up not spending time with them.” Don’t live beyond your means and have a clear strategy when it comes to saving. “You also need to consider your own investments and savings,”…

HIS blood ran cold as the enraged man charged at him. Primary school teacher Patrick Buthelezi wasn’t quite sure what was going on but there was no mistaking the old man’s fury – or that it was directed at him. “You raped her!” the old man yelled. And so began a nightmare that would see the 48-year-old Durban teacher spend more than a year behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit. He was eventually acquitted after his alleged victim admitted she had lied and the magistrate found no evidence linking him to any crime. The teacher is now suing the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) for damages “of between R1 million and R2 million”, his lawyer, Viren Singh, says. “Mr Buthelezi was in custody for more than a year. His…

SHE was relieved when the doctor broke the news to her. Being diagnosed with breast cancer would be a devastating blow for most women, especially when faced with the reality of losing both breasts. Yet when Camilla Neelse was told her cancer was so advanced she’d need a double mastectomy, she whispered “hallelujah”. The mom of one suffers from gigantomastia, a rare condition that causes continued and excessive growth of the breast tissue. Camilla hasn’t been able to find a bra that fits in more than 18 months. The last bra she could wear was a 40JJ, and her breasts are now too large for that too. Her shoulders, back and knees are in constant agony, she says, because of the weight of her breasts. Now she’s looking forward to…

HE PUT his hand up long before “thuma mina” (send me) became President Cyril Ramaphosa’s rallying cry for South Africans to get involved with the upliftment of the country. Mark Barnes had identified the cause he wanted to help: the cash-strapped South African Post Office. He told himself he wasn’t going to watch the organisation die a slow death. He had the expertise, he had the passion and he could make things happen. Just watch him. So he approached the then-deputy president, who was in charge of SOEs (state-owned enterprises), outlined his vision, and in 2016 he was appointed CEO of the Post Office. In three-and-a-half years he managed to turn the ailing state-owned enterprise around. Once R1,49 billion in the red and on the verge of having to shed…

If you’re using frozen pork, make sure it’s thawed slowly to prevent drying out and to ensure even cooking. When it comes to roasts, use the following rule of thumb for cooking times. After crisping the skin in the oven at a high temperature (220-240°C), lower the heat to 180°C and roast the meat for 30 minutes per 500g. Apple sauce and pork are a match made in heaven. The apple’s tartness complements the delicate, salty flavour of pork. Other flavours that work well with pork are sage, paprika and chilli. Always let pork roast rest for 10 minutes before cutting it.…

HER HUBBY FLIRTS WITH ME Q I’m single but most of my friends are married. We usually go for a girls’ night out once a month, which I love. Sometimes we also do things with husbands and partners, so we’ve all gotten to know each other really well. Last month we went for drinks and the husband of one of my friends made a pass at me. He’d had quite a lot to drink but he knew what he was doing. It made me feel very uncomfortable, and I told him I will not tolerate it. I thought it was all sorted, until I saw him again recently. He continued to flirt with me even though I have made it clear I’m not interested in him. I find his behaviour…

SORTED, EMAIL A You need to apply for cancellation at the court where the protection order was obtained. You need to provide the court with good reasons why the order must be cancelled. Your father will be given notice of your intentions to have it cancelled. It is important to be 100% sure of this because once it has been cancelled, if your father were to become abusive you will have to start the process again and apply for a new protection order. ‘You need to provide the court with good reasons why the order must be cancelled’…

Arriving with little fanfare, Care Package is a surprise treat for Drizzy fans. It’s not the new album we’ve all been holding out for, but it’s nearly as good. WHAT’S IN THE PACKAGE? The 17-track compilation record consists of loosies – loose tracks released between 2010 and 2016 – not included on any other albums. Up to now these songs could only be found by sifting through Sound­Cloud or YouTube. Drake announced the release on Instagram a day before it was available to stream, writing, “Some of our most important moments together available in one place. Care Package.” Some well-known names pop up on the album – J Cole is on Jodeci Freestyle and Rick Ross contributes to Free Spirit. James Fauntleroy and Sampha add vocals to Girls Love Beyoncé…

SHE plays a fierce human rights lawyer who won’t let anyone or anything get in the way of her career. And in real life she’s just as driven. Celeste Khumalo would not go to the pains her character in Generations: The Legacy would, she tells DRUM. But she is as ambitious as Bulelwa – and she’s worked hard to get to where she is. ‘I needed to prioritise things in my life’ “There are certain things I had to put on hold, such as relationships and my studies, so I could invest my time and money in my acting career,” Celeste says. “It hasn’t been easy, but it needed to be done.” Her sacrifices have paid off: playing power-driven Bulelwa has made her a favourite among fans of the popular…

Happy birthday, bae! HE SURE knows how to give the best gifts! To celebrate his fiancé’s 24th birthday, SOMIZI took MOHALE MOTAUNG on a romantic trip to Italy. The lovebirds wined and dined on local cuisine and visited the Colosseum in Rome as well as other tourist spots. The couple, who are busy planning their big day, also indulged in some retail therapy when they hit Rinascente, a collection of high-end stores in Milan. “The cocktails here are amazing,” Somizi shared on social media. “And to top it off there’s all the designer brands on the floors downstairs!” MICHAEL IN MZANSI FORMER Chelsea player MICHAEL ESSIEN was recently spotted in Joburg.
