COUNTLESS albums, 32 years of music and 21 Samas. That’s the legacy she wants to be remembered for. That is why queen of gospel Dr Rebecca Malope (51) is handing the microphone over to the next generation of singers while she’s still on a high. The star officially announced her retirement from the industry, telling devastated fans that her latest album, Lord You are Good, will be her last. It wasn’t an impulsive decision, she tells DRUM. She thought about it long and hard before deciding to quit the industry. But now she’s done, she says. She’s been working so long that she believes she’s accumulated enough wealth to sustain her for life. “In fact, I have five paid-up houses. Three of them are in Gauteng and two are in…

If contemptuous behaviour has become a habit in your relationship, it’ll take time and commitment from both of you to work through it and start communicating in a more positive way. Awareness is the first step – you can’t change until you realise what you’re doing and see the impact it has on your partner, your relationship and yourself. If you’re not sure how to start making the changes you need to make, consider seeing a couples therapist who can help you both learn better ways of communicating, which involves not only learning to express your own needs but also how to listen to your partner.…

Both are vascular events, meaning they involve the blood vessels, and the arteries in particular. However, both conditions can lead to disability and death. A heart attack occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, usually by a blood clot. Without oxygenated blood, the heart muscle begins to die. A stroke is a brain attack, cutting off vital blood flow and oxygen to the brain. Strokes happen when a blood vessel feeding the brain gets clogged or bursts. A common symptom of a stroke is a sudden and powerful headache, which is why it’s referred to as a brain attack. A heart attack often, but not always, occurs with chest pain.…

Tendai: That’s terrible! When and how did this happen? What did the police say? Tshepo: Actually, I’m warning all my friends but I’ve decided against reporting it to the police – it’s criminal, but as it turns out the thieves are spending far less than my wife was!

WU ASSASSINS SEASON 1. NOW ON NETFLIX Indonesian action star IKO UWAIS plays Kai, a kindly chef in San Francisco’s Chinatown who is given martial arts superpowers to fight equally powerful evildoers. Tightly plotted and fast-moving, the series is a mix of fantasy and family drama but it’s the action that sets it above similar fare. The fight scenes are incredibly well done and quite often jaw-dropping as Iko clearly does his own action scenes. EUPHORIA SEASON 1. NOW ON SHOWMAX ZENDAYA plays Rue, a schoolgirl fresh out of rehab after an overdose, starting a new school year with no intention of staying sober. Her new BFF has her own set of issues, as do their classmates. If you’re not deterred by the sex, nudity and violence, this series is…

WE’RE living in the digital world and there’s a belief that the younger generation no longer enjoys “proper” human bonds. We’re accused of being superficial, fake, cold and shallow. Our friendships on social media are considered “unreal”. But do we need to be sitting next to one another to be real friends? There are amazing people who are real in this virtual world. Are relationships about distance or connection? Why are online friendships judged so harshly? Back in the day, didn’t people write one another letters to maintain friendships? Friendship is beautiful, even when it’s hard to maintain. It takes pure heart and love to keep the bond strong, and a great deal of understanding, trust and loyalty. You might be sitting with people but when that unexpected “hi” pops…

SEXY, rich, controversial these are just some of the words used to describe her. Khanyi Mbau is also without a doubt one of Mzansi’s most successful stars – she’s a celebrated actress, TV and radio host, a published author and a savvy businesswoman with her own brand of gin. Yet the one thing that’s alluded her is success in the music industry. Now she’s trying to get her music career back on track with the release of a new love song called Ubsuku bonke (loosely translated to “All night long”) – and she’s hoping it will put fans in the mood. “We’ve never had a beautiful African ballad that speaks about sex and the art of lovemaking,” Khanyi says. “We’ve had Marvin Gaye with Let’s Get It On, even Cardi…

I DON’T NEED A MAN Q I’m 53 years old and I’ve been in a long-distance relationship with this guy for a while now. I live in North West and he’s in Limpopo. My kids have left home and I’ve decided I don’t need a man in my life anymore – I like him but sometimes he’s more trouble than he’s worth. I know that at my age I’m expected to be settled down and in a committed relationship. But I feel like I’m not getting much out of this relationship, and it may just be time to end things. I know companionship is really important especially in the later years, but I think I’ll do just fine. So maybe I should just buy a sex toy. What do you…

DAUGHTER LEFT WITHOUT MY CONSENT Q My 16-year-old daughter went away for the weekend with a group of teens without my permission. I don’t know the people she went with and I’m concerned about where she is and if she is okay. Can I open a case of a kidnapping? ANONYMOUS, EMAIL A You cannot open a case of kidnapping because your child was not kidnapped, but voluntarily left with the group of people. Although she is a minor, the people she left with cannot be held liable as they didn’t take her against her will. If she doesn’t return when she said she would and you cannot find her, you can open a missing persons case at your nearest police station. ‘You can open a missing persons case at…

VIRGO 23 AUG – 22 SEP Kindness is a Virgo characteristic, and so is the readiness to be of service to others. But it’s a week to take care of yourself. Since first impressions count, you may even want to book a beauty treatment, try a different haircut or splurge on a new outfit. Sometimes it’s fine to delegate tasks and leave some chores undone. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 45, 44, 26, 13, 7, 24 LIBRA 23 SEP – 22 OCT Befitting a true Libra, your relationship with your partner is probably your highest priority, but this week you may actually be overdoing it.

THE TALENT Megan Thee Stallion is behind the single Hot Girl Summer, featuring Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla Sign, which is blowing up charts. The track shot to the top of the iTunes and Spotify charts hours after it dropped. The 24-year-old explains it’s all about “women and men being unapologetically them[selves]”, she told The Root. “You definitely have to be a person who can be the life of the party and just a bad bitch.” SUPERSTAR COLLABS Nicki Minaj has taken heat in the past for her beefs – real and imagined – with other female rappers, from Cardi B to Lil’ Kim. She and Megan ended up working together simply because the rapper asked her. Megan said she wrote the track then contacted Nicki on social media. Nicki…

THE MOMENT OF LIFT BY MELINDA GATES (BLUEBIRD BOOKS) R249* American philanthropist Melinda Gates opens up about the lessons she’s learnt from the people she’s met on her international travels over the past 20 years. Using these anecdotes, Melinda, who co-chairs one of the largest philanthropic organisations in the world, shows how the best way to change the world is to empower women by offering them basic liberties such as education, contraception and the right to choose who they marry. It could all be so serious but it’s not because Melinda is so passionate about helping others. Laced through are revealing insights about her life – such as how she and her billionaire husband, Bill Gates, bonded over their mutual love of puzzles and maths games. She also speaks about…

HE WAS hoping this would be his chance to really live up to his name. His time at Orlando Pirates would show that Brilliant suits him perfectly. But Nhlanhla Brilliant Khuzwayo never realised his dream. It ended before it even began with him running out for Pirates only once. He’s accepted his fate after an ankle injury ended his dream of achieving great glory with the Buccaneers. At the age of 29 he’s hung up his boots because he can’t play at the level he needs to. It was the toughest decision of his life to give up playing but it needed to be done, he tells DRUM. He’d been for countless consultations with specialists, but he’s now developed arthritis in his ankle. There’s no treatment he hasn’t tried, he…

Baby boom ‘Tears fall down your face because it feels so amazing’ CELEBVILLE is booming with new babies and we can’t get enough of these tiny tots! Presenter DENISE ZIMBA welcomed her little girl, Leah Lilli-Rose Schlichtig, into the world and gave fans a sneak peek of her princess. The first-time mom also opened up about her pregnancy. “You hear a heartbeat, and feel little kicks and turns, the hiccups that has your stomach constantly pulsing, and your tears fall down your face because it feels so amazing,” she wrote on social media. “It is one of the most extraordinary, undeniably magical experiences.” Gqom sensation NUZ QUEEN can totally relate. The Umlazi-born singer can’t get enough of her baby boy, NJABULO, who was born in October. COUNTDOWN WITH PABALLO HE…

KYLIE JENNER and rapper Travis Scott (28) have been living it up on a luxury yacht with their 18-month-old daughter STORMI and a few pals. The model celebrated her 22nd birthday and a luxury holiday in Italy was exactly what she needed. “Officially my birthday,” she captioned a video of friends singing to her on the yacht. TARAJI P HENSON was also chilling on a boat in Chicago with her bae, former American football star KELVIN HAYDEN. “Us on any given Sunday (in the summer in Chicago),” the Empire star captioned a series of photos with her fiancé, who she calls “my baby for life.” KIM KARDASHIAN WEST took the kids to the beach in the Bahamas and showed her impressive management skills when she managed to wrangle SAINT (3),…

Daily Show host Trevor Noah is the fourth highest-paid comedian in the world, according to Forbes, with earnings of $28 million (R425m) last year, most of which came from his global comedy tour. DRUM readers shared their thoughts on his success. Well done, Patricia, for raising him. He’s simply the best.

SHE rises before the crack of dawn, travelling long distances from her home in the suburb of Kraaifontein to her jobs in central Cape Town and other parts of the Mother City. Noloyiso Lombo (46) is a domestic worker, earning up to R4 000 in a good month. “It’s difficult because I work on commission,” she tells DRUM. “The one man I work for two days a week pays me R2 000 a month.” Her second job involves working for a cleaning agency where she’s employed for three to four days a week depending on bookings, and the money she takes home isn’t enough to pay all her debts. The single mom has to take care of her 28-year-old daughter and two grandchildren, making sure they have a roof over…

THE house she shares with her mother, siblings and son is deafeningly silent. Her baby girl no longer wakes her up with giggles and a warm hug. The boisterous little girl no longer chases after her brother, their squeals of delight echoing through the hallway. And all the grieving mother has left of her daughter are treasured memories, toys and the clothes she used to wear. It’s been a few weeks since Kleeshay Stuurman’s two-year-old daughter Zoedene passed away. The heartbroken mother has passed down her daughter’s clothes to a little girl in the family, because she just can’t bear to give them away to anyone else. It’s a few days after the funeral when we visit the family’s modest home in Eersterust, Pretoria. She can’t shake the memory of…

The third enthralling season of The Good Fight sees Lucca Quinn (Cush Jumbo) searching for that elusive balance between being a mom and her career ambitions. The actress’ real-life pregnancy was written into the show – a spinoff of The Good Wife – and she gave birth to her son, Maximilian, in 2017. MOMMY DEAREST The British actress (33) said it’s been “amazing” to have Lucca’s journey parallel her own. “Being an actor is all about finding out about the human condition, and finding out about how humans tick and what makes them work. You’re always trying to draw from yourself and your own experiences. “It’s been amazing to parallel Lucca’s journey with my journey because I’ve been going through exactly the same stuff,” she told Collider.

Don’t make eye contact – the dog sees it as a challenge. Freeze – don’t make any fast or nervous movements. Don’t run as the dog’s instinct is to chase you. Keeping your face turned towards the dog (but no eye contact!), slowly walk backwards until you’re at a safe distance. Never turn your back on the dog. Don’t show your teeth. You might think smiling will calm the dog but it will think you’re being aggressive. If the dog attacks, curl into a ball on the ground. Cover your head with your arms and ball your fists. If the dog snaps at you, stay calm and try to get something between you and the dog’s teeth, such as a jacket or wallet. Don’t hit the dog – this will…

SHE could barely sit still in the cinema. Nqobile Khumalo was a bundle of nerves at the preview of the new political thriller she stars in. The actress has had plum parts in several drama series, but until recently she’d never seen herself on the silver screen. In her first feature film, Nqobile plays Aluta, a brave woman who takes on a corrupt mine magnate after her sister is murdered. Starring in Uncovered was a roller-coaster ride. “I was depressed and confused after shooting this movie, it was emotionally and physically exhausting,” Nqobile (27) tells DRUM. “It has love, loss and tragedy, and it’s packed with action. It’s really heavy – but necessary.” The star-studded film, helmed by award-winning director Zuko Nodada, was shot in Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal. It follows Aluta…

DWAYNE’S WORLD IT’S been a pretty great few weeks for DWAYNE JOHNSON. Not only did he and his long-time girlfriend Lauren Hashian tie the knot, he’s also officially the highest-paid actor in the world, according to Forbes magazine. Not too bad for a guy who started his showbiz career with less than 10 bucks in his pocket! Between June last year and June this year, The Rock earned $89,4 million (R1,37 billion), even though he had just one movie out in that period, Skyscraper. The magazine said he “also gets paid $700 000 (R10,7m) per episode for his series Ballers and seven figures in royalties for his line of clothing, shoes and headphones with Under Armour”, as well as a hefty percentage of the box office returns for his high-grossing…
