IT’S the mystery everyone has been talking about: where is baby Kwahlelwa? What has happened to the little boy from Khayelitsha who is one of a set of twin boys? The case has gripped the nation, especially after a schoolgirl was arrested and charged with taking the child. She’s innocent and has done nothing wrong, she maintains, and has said as much in court. Is she telling the truth? That is for the courts to decide. Meanwhile, a little baby is out there and nobody knows if he’s okay. His family are in deep pain as a result and his parents have pleaded for his safe return. Turn to page 6 to find out what Kwahlelwa’s mother and father have to say about their missing son. It’s heart-rending. Until next…

US singer Brandy recently celebrated her 41st birthday yet doesn’t look a day over 25. DRUM readers reacted. I remember saving up my pocket money while I was doing my matric in 2006 for a whole month just to buy my big sis her Full Moon album for her 25th birthday, she loved Brandy so much. And when she bought her first car it was the first CD she played. #R&BQueen SEIPATI SOPHIE MOTSOATSOA How many slices does she eat? S’CELO ZITHA WAKANDAWONDE I still listen to every song even the old ones … I just love this lady to bits. I used to cover my schoolbooks with her photos and would yearn to be nicknamed Brandy … mxm … and it never worked. I had songbooks. In my phone…

Social media law expert Emma Sadleir says there’s recourse he can follow. “The most obvious one is crimen injuria – when someone infringes on your dignity, you can lay a criminal charge.” Zahed Sibda has been through “a hell of a time”, she says. “There’s no question his dignity has been affected.” He could also lay a charge against anyone who identified him or distributed the video and an offender can be fined R300 000 or four years in prison. “If someone distributes a picture of my private parts and says they are mine – even if they aren’t – they’ve identified me and I can still lay a criminal charge. It’s defamation.” The problem, she says, is the nature of the beast. Once a video is out there’s very…

CUTTING down on your food costs while still using good quality, nutritious ingredients can be tricky. But with a few clever kitchen hacks, you’ll be able to reduce your spending and still create delicious, healthy meals for your family. CHEAPER CUTS Don’t shy away from using cheaper cuts of meat, like pork trotters or pork shoulder. If you slow-cook these they’re just as delicious as prime cuts. Cook in bulk and freeze in portions for busy days when you don’t have time to slave away in front of the oven. BUY SEASONALLY These days you can buy almost any fruit or veg throughout the year, no matter the season. But try to stick to those that are in season. Not only are fruits and vegetables cheaper when in season, they’ll…

CLEANSE & EXFOLIATE This is the most important step. Other steps will not be as effective if you skip cleansing or don’t do it right. Cleansing helps remove dirt and makeup from the pores, while exfoliating buffs the skin to remove dead skin cells. Gel cleansers are great for oily skin because they remove excess sebum. Thoroughly cleanse the skin using warm water. Hot water will strip the skin of all its natural oils, so avoid that. There are different ways to exfoliate the skin. Physical tools such as facial cleansing brushes can be used with soap to gently go over the skin and remove dead skin cells. Other exfoliators come in the form of a cleanser that contains tiny granules. These granules exfoliate as you rub them on wet…

MY PROBLEM STEPSON Q My husband has a son with his first wife. I get on well with him most of the time but he’s causing problems for the whole family. He argued badly with his mother so now he lives with us. He finished school three years ago but has done nothing with his life since. He did well at school but didn’t want to study further. We’ve tried to help him look for a job but he’s not interested. He just wants to hang out with his friends, who also do nothing all day. His father is about to give up on him, which…

STORMY WEATHER Every Saturday morning an inattentive husband has an early golfing tee-off time. He gets up early and eager and plays golf all day long. Well, one Saturday morning the husband gets up early, dresses quietly, gets his clubs out of the closet and goes to his car to drive to the golf course. Coming out of his garage he sees rain is pouring down. It’s a torrential downpour. There’s hail mixed in with the rain, and the wind is howling. He returns to the garage, goes back into the house and turns on the TV to the weather channel. He finds out it’s going to be bad weather all day long, so he puts his clubs back into the cupboard, quietly undresses and slips back into bed. There…

On 14 February, a case of a person infected with the coronavirus was confirmed in Egypt. The patient is not Egyptian, the health ministry said in a statement, and didn’t reveal their nationality, other than to say they are monitoring the “stable” patient who was quarantined in hospital. Earlier in February, 301 Egyptians were evacuated from Wuhan and remained in quarantine in Egypt for 14 days. Egypt’s health minister, Hala Zayed (ABOVE), was severely criticised as Al-Nujaila Central Hospital took in the Egyptian evacuees from China. Al-Nujaila is a farming and fishing community, about 400km from Cairo. The hospital is in a residential area and Zayed reportedly planned the hospitalisation without consulting local citizens while doctors agreed to work at the hospital without being told about possible infections, according to…

Joseph Shabalala started Ladysmith Black Mambazo with his family in 1960. The name had meaning: Ladysmith represented their hometown; Black was for the black oxen that were the strongest on the farm; and Mambazo, from the isiZulu word for axe, representing their ambition to cut down the competition. They landed a recording deal after a radio performance in 1970, and released Africa’s first gold-selling album, Amabutho, in 1973. Global fame came when they collaborated with American singer Paul Simon on his 1986 album Graceland. Homeless, which Joseph wrote with Paul, was based on the melody of a traditional Zulu wedding song and became a worldwide hit. The group toured the world with Paul, who produced their next three albums, including the Grammy-winning Shaka Zulu in 1987. Paul paid tribute to…

SO SORRY, SNOOP SAYS AT THE ripe old age of 48, SNOOP DOGG really ought to know how to behave without his momma telling him what to do. The rapper launched a furious, misogynistic and foul-mouthed tirade at journalist GAYLE KING, Oprah Winfrey’s BFF, after Gayle interviewed women’s basketball star LISA LESLIE and brought up the 2003 rape allegations faced by the late KOBE BRYANT. Snoop called Gayle “a dog-head b***h” and told her to beware “before we come get you”. The journalist has been lying low and travelling with bodyguards because of the death threats that followed the interview and Snoop’s posts. He attributed his change of heart and manner to his mother in an Instagram post, saying, “Had a talk with my momma. Thank u mamma … 2…

IT’S every parent’s wish to leave their kids a lasting legacy – but many would prefer their children’s inheritance to be a fat trust fund rather than life lessons that would be a lasting legacy. It’s not true that children whose parents didn’t leave them material property are doomed to remain poor. Without life lessons, children won’t know how to respect money and worldly things. The best things our children can inherit from us are respect, tolerance, compassion and kindness. They should know what one can achieve through humility, and that hard work can make you realise your dreams. Our jobs as parents aren’t complete if we don’t warn our kids about the things that can destroy their lives, like crime and drugs. Teaching them life lessons doesn’t cost a…

‘She offered to assist us with obtaining birth certificates for the twins, and monthly food parcels’ AKNOT formed in the pit of the young mother’s belly as she looked around the post office. She tried to tell herself everything was okay – surely the polite social worker who was with her baby boy must be here somewhere. Asanda Tiwani had her three-month-old baby, Akahlulwa, cradled in one arm and her two-year-old son, Ebonga, clutched at her free hand as they went in search of Akahlulwa’s twin, Kwahlelwa. After one last look around the drab beige post office and with her heart pounding faster and faster, she quickly walked outside. Voortrekker Road in Parow, Cape Town, was busy, filled with cars and taxis and people. Asanda (29) looked up and down…

SHE practically grew up in the limelight – but the thought of exposing her private space terrified her and for many years she simply refused to do it. What if viewers judged her? What if they were mean? Could she deal with the unnerving thought of fans having even more access to her life? These questions and more swirled around in Boity Thulo’s mind every time she was approached to do a reality TV show. For years she said no when asked to do so, but now she’s decided to bare all in Boity: Own Your Throne, which airs on BET (DStv channel 135) on Wednesdays at 9.30pm. And no topic’s off limits – she’s holding nothing back, Boity tells DRUM. She’s laying her soul bare on her reality show,…

WHAT CAUSES PORES TO BE ENLARGED? • Having oily skin generally leads to enlarged pores. This is because of the excess sebum produced in the skin. Dirt and dead skin cells collect inside the pores and so they become clogged, making them appear large. • Excessive sun exposure damages the skin. This causes premature ageing and a loss of collagen, a protein that is naturally found in the skin and is responsible for keeping the skin plump. When collagen is lost, the skin loses elasticity and moisture – making the pores appear larger. • Genetics also play a role when it comes to your skin’s appearance. If your parents or grandparents had enlarged pores, you’re likely to have them too. CAN PORES BE SHRUNK? Enlarged pores cause the skin to…

Life coach Noxolo Speelman says women shouldn’t shy away from conflict. Matters need to be dealt with head-on and not be left to fester unresolved. “Conflict is healthy for any relationship,” she says. “Our weakness is that we shy away from it. Women were raised to avoid conflict but it’s one of the things that strengthens a relationship, if properly dealt with. It helps people to understand each other and then avoid hurtful situations.” But we must learn to resolve personal conflict without throwing our toys out of the cot, she adds, and this takes a strong character. “Some people think because I work with relationships, I don’t get hurt. I deal with these things like any other woman – I cry, I fight and sit down and face them,”…

ARIES 21 MAR – 19 APR If you’re a true Aries, chances are you’re an active person who focuses on doing rather than being. But it’s time to take a breather, which could mean escaping the rat race, cutting back on activities and shunning the social scene. It’s a time to rest, restore and repair the wellbeing of body, mind and soul. You might want to take up meditation, replace vigorous exercise with gentle yoga and spend time by yourself in contemplation. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 32, 26, 50, 15, 4, 49 TAURUS 20 APR – 20 MAY It’s a week to focus on your dreams, hopes and wishes. With Mercury in retrograde motion, it’s a good time to take a step back and revise your longterm goals, whether for developing…

‘I come in and put it all on the table’ GRAMMY WINNER Rosalía (26), who hails from a small town in Spain, made Grammy history by becoming the first artist to earn a best new artist nomination for music exclusively in Spanish. While she didn’t win – Billie Eilish got that honour – she did win in another category: best Latin rock, urban or alternative album for El Mal Querer. Host Alicia Keys introduced her as the “Spanish sensation waking up the world” and she gave a rousing performance of her album’s lead single, Malamente. FLAMENCO ROOTS She was 13 when she fell in love with flamenco after hearing it blasting from the speakers of her older friends’ cars. “I’d never heard anything like it. Nothing was the same for…

TWO boys aimlessly wander the streets of Cape Town. By day they beg for food and get themselves into all kinds of trouble, and at night they sleep on a pavement because there’s nowhere else to go. Their future seems totally hopeless. But then one day, out of the blue, they’re given a chance to escape their desperate circumstances – and they grab it with both hands. Next thing they’re jetting around the world as the stars of a travelling circus, performing for the likes of former US president Barack Obama and tennis ace Roger Federer. Jacobus “Trompie” Claassen (27) and Phelelani “Ree” Ndakrokra (25) are living proof that lucky breaks do happen.

People living in China are not only having to cope with the fear of infection – living conditions have been terrible. The experience is like being “stuck in a bad dream”, a Somalian living in Wuhan told the New York Times via a telephone interview. He, like many others, spends up to 20 hours a day confined to his apartment, under unofficial “house arrest”. In some Hubei cities, government-issued passes allow citizens to leave their homes only every two or three days to get basic necessities. But stores have been battling to replenish stocks – transport of goods into the entire area has been shut down in an attempt to control the spread of the virus. Meanwhile, hazmat-wearing technicians have stopped people in the streets and in one instance, were…

AS A fitness instructor and choreographer, she has the luxury of being able to work anywhere in the world – so Takkies Dinwiddy was excited at the prospect of making her international mark. The Puma SA ambassador thought living abroad would help boost the brand. Even so, she knew it wouldn’t be easy to relocate. Finding a home, getting to know the area and making new friends would be stressful enough without the extra pressure of being pregnant. But she knew she needed to support her husband, Chris, who’d been offered a job in London. It’s been three months since Takkies, Chris and their daughter Sana (2) left Mzansi – and they’re still adjusting to their new life. “It’s cold and grey here. I can’t believe I miss summer,” she…

Three different types A recurring payment lets you make the same payment each month automatically, without having to think about it. Stop orders and debit orders are 2 methods of making recurring payments, and now there’s a new type of debit order, called DebiCheck. 1 A stop order is a credit instruction you give to make a payment from your account and pass it to a third person, for example, paying your rent to your landlord. It’s the same amount on the same agreed date every month for a certain period, and you decide when the payment stops. 2 A debit order is a convenient way for a third party – one that you’ve given permission to – to regularly collect money from your bank account. You agree to the…

Why save? Making saving a habit allows you to work towards your goals and dreams. It’s not how much you earn, but the money you keep that can grow to help you reach your dreams. Prioritise your savings 1 Save for emergencies Sometimes we need extra money to deal with an unexpected event, like a medical emergency. It’s recommended that you save enough money to cover between 3 and 6 months of household expenses to deal with an emergency without having to use credit or your long-term savings. 2 Save towards retirement If your employer helps you to save for your retirement by deducting a percentage of your salary each month and investing it, don’t cash out your pension when you change jobs. If your employer does not contribute on…

IT’S just after dusk and a romantic full moon glows in the sky. Outside, the city is a hive of activity but inside it’s just the two of them and they have the empty office all to themselves… What happens next sounds like the plot of a steamy adult movie but for the people passing by the building in the heart of Sandton, Johannesburg, who inadvertently caught an eyeful of the illicit office hook-up, it was all too real. And the video footage of it which was later shared on social media is enough to make even the most open-minded person blush. It shows a naked man and a woman in a hitched-up yellow dress in the throes of passion on a desk in a well-lit office, oblivious to the…

THE TOP A sleeveless bodice with a boat neck or V-neck is classy and elegant. For a more feminine look, go for dresses with ruffles, pleating or draping above the waistline. THE HEMLINE The newest length is midcalf, worn with 2 or 3-inch heels. You can also go for a longer hemline for a more romantic look. THE SKIRT If you are self-conscious about your bottom half, this dress shape is best for you. Look for soft pleats in a lightweight fabric such as silk to provide the most graceful coverage.

ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS These include glycolic, citric and lactic acids. They exfoliate the skin deeply to reveal a more radiant complexion and leave the skin looking and feeling great. These ingredients are often included in chemical exfoliators. HYALURONIC ACID Hyaluronic acid is used to boost moisture levels in the skin by drawing moisture from the body and retaining it in the skin. This ingredient can be used by all skin types, including oily skin, because it encourages moisture levels to normalise, meaning sebum production will not be excessive. Hyaluronic acid can be found in cleansers, serums and moisturisers. When skin has enough moisture, the size of the pores appears smaller. SALICYLIC ACID It is also known as beta hydroxy acid (BHA) and is great for acne-prone oily skin. It exfoliates…

Sometimes it’s not possible to exercise. Perhaps you’re injured or stuck in bed after an illness or surgery. This is a peak danger time for losing muscle mass as muscles need stimulation daily to maintain their size, but there are still things you can do. ■ Use isometric moves “These are small contractions of the muscle that work it in isolation, which is important if you can’t put pressure on a joint or move about much,” says physiotherapist Kusal Goonewardena. Try moves such as simply tightening your bicep without moving the rest of your arm, or the muscles at the top of your thigh. Repeat daily for 30-60 seconds, working as many muscles as you can safely. ■ Visualise the muscle working “This is a technique we regularly use with…

The bottom line is that your in-laws are a crucial part of your spouse’s life – and therefore yours. “He is their son and your husband – and that means he plays two different roles even though there is only one of him,” says social worker Pearl Ramotsamai. His family may not have the same rules as yours, but try not to think of them as worse or wrong – they’re just different. Be kind. You don’t have to agree on everything and sometimes it’s worth giving way on small points and sticking to your guns or at least negotiating the key issues. You’ll win some and you’ll lose some so accept that sometimes you just have to swallow your pride, grit your teeth, shut up and smile. This is…

MOST of us assume that when we die our assets will be distributed according to what we stipulated in our wills. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work that way. People or companies can claim the debt you owe them from your estate. After deductions such as these, as well as estate duties and the executor’s fee, your loved ones may walk away with much less than what you imagined they’d inherit. 1 LIFE INSURANCE This money should be paid directly to beneficiaries named in the policy. It isn’t part of the estate administration, so executor fees aren’t charged. But it isn’t true that estate duty is never levied on life-insurance policies. Surviving spouses usually should not pay taxes if it’s left to them but other beneficiaries might. If you don’t appoint…

LONG before Trevor Noah, Charlize Theron and the stars of Tsotsi were even close to being known worldwide, he was putting Mzansi on the global map His magnetic presence, charming personality and unique brand of Zulu choral music helped him to turn Ladysmith Black Mambazo into a household name as far back as the 1980s. No surprise then that tributes poured in from London to Los Angeles, from Namibia to New York. And, of course, from all his local fans who adored this national treasure. Even on his deathbed Joseph Shabalala never stopped singing, his family tells DRUM. He died, aged 78, surrounded by his loved ones. His final moments were with his wife Thoko Shabalala, his eldest son Nkosinathi Shabalala and his siblings. “My brother is at perfect peace,”…
