IT’S no secret lockdown has given birth to some serious boredom busters. From recreating vintage paintings to fashioning dresses from pillows, everyone seems to be getting in on the social-media fun, including Patrick Seleka. The Skeem Saam actor recently caused a stir when he dressed up for the #pillowchallenge in an orange wig, strutting as he danced to Beyoncé’s Single Ladies. What made the video even more endearing to fans was it featured his wife, Mmabaneng. “I’ve always been the loud, crazy one but since lockdown she has shown me her other side, her crazy, fun side,” Patrick tells DRUM. The couple have been married for almost two years. Even though they knew each other long before they wed, Mmabaneng says it took some time to get used to Patrick’s…

Busisiwe Malangwane, a registered counsellor from Midrand, says it’s best to seek help from a professional marriage counsellor if a couple can’t see eye to eye on issues discussed before marriage. She suggests tackling these important questions before getting hitched: * Have you been married before? If yes, how has that shaped your view of marriage? * How was conflict handled in your household growing up? Do you wish to use the same method? If not, how do you wish to handle it? * Do you have any debt? If yes, how much? How is your credit record? * Where do you want to live? * How should household chores be divided? * What is your cultural and religious belief system? And if one party’s is different, how will the…

HE PACKED UP AND LEFT Q I’ve been dating and living with this guy for nearly eight years and I thought we were very happy. We’ve been talking about marriage for the past few years. Then, just before lockdown began, he packed a bag and said he was not going to stay with me anymore. I am devastated – I don’t know what has made him behave like this. He has not answered my calls and our friends tell me they don’t know what’s going on. I can’t believe he left me at a time when I was going to need his support and help more than ever. How can I cope with this when I don’t understand what has happened? SHOCKED, EMAIL A Whatever his reason for leaving you,…

GEMINI 21 MAY – 20 JUN First impressions count. With Venus, planet of attraction, currently reversing through your sign, it’s a good time to re-evaluate your appearance. You may want to change your hair, as they say, fine feathers make fine birds. But a positive outlook and friendly personality are huge magnets too and will stand you in good stead.

NOBODY imagined that one day the whole world would stand and cry together in one sad voice. And yet the coronavirus managed to do that to us. I’m a nurse at a public hospital and I’m scared of this pandemic, which spreads like wildfire. It kills. It wipes out the rich and the poor alike. It takes those who heal and those who take care of the sick. It has killed many healthcare workers like they were nothing. It hurts. We feel less safe each day. I felt appreciated by the world when it celebrated us not so long ago, on International Nurses Day. Thanks a lot. We felt loved. This profession is one that requires love and care from the world. We need that like never before. Please, pray…

A PETTY crook who builds a criminal empire. A best man on a road trip across Mzansi to get the groom to his wedding on time. A lawyer who discovers his friend is behind a series of cash-in-transit heists. Whatever big-lead part you can think of, Rapulana Seiphemo has played it. He’s acted in everything from soaps to feature films, but if there’s one role he’s known for it’s Tau Mogale. Long before the show became known as Generations: The Legacy, Rapulana played the part of the high-flying businessman everyone loves to hate. Now he’s parting ways with the soap that made him a household name. After 18 years he’s gearing up for a new adventure. He’s joining the cast of Mzansi Magic’s The Queen, where he’ll be reunited with…

CURTAINS Curtaining fabric is usually lighter than upholstery fabric and can also be used for scatter cushions and throws. If you like a particular design and want to use it for upholstery, check if it is available in that fabric or if it’s dual-purpose. UPHOLSTERY This fabric is durable, thick and heavy – and often more expensive than curtaining fabric. However, it gets much more contact than curtain and blind materials. Outdoor upholstery fabric usually contains colour and moisture protection.

His mother passed away and now the granny is claiming money on his behalf, saying he doesn’t have parents even though the father is still alive. What can we do to help the boy? CONCERNED BROTHER, SMS A When a parent passes away, the surviving parent gets sole parental rights and responsibilities, unless a court orders otherwise. The granny can take the father to the maintenance court. At the court, the father can say he doesn’t want to give her money and that he wants to take the child and care for him himself. If the father wants the child but the granny thinks this is not in the best interest of the child, she can bring an…

AMAZINGLY FIT Five mornings a week my husband goes to the gym, gets on the elliptical trainer, sets the timer and buries his nose in a book. Recently, he’s noticed an amazingly fit middle-aged woman who seems to run circles around everyone, takes few breaks and rarely even breaks a sweat. “It’s not fair,” he complains. “By the time I’m dragging myself off to the showers, she’s hopping back on the elliptical for another session.” One day he comes home with a sheepish grin. “Well,” he says, “I just found out how she does it – identical twins.” HOME SWEET HOME While Thembi is dining out with her children, a man comes over to their table and starts talking. He asks where Thembi’s kids go to school. She tells him…

SHE’S never made any secret of the fact she adores South Africa – for years Oprah Winfrey has been a huge fan. And now with the world in lockdown, her affection for SA remains as strong as ever. Holed up in her sprawling estate in Montecito, California, she’s been eating steamed mealie bread and sharing sweet videos of the two South African guests who are keeping her company. Thando Dlomo and Sade Pietersen were among the first intakes of girls at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in Henley-on-Klip near Joburg, which the media titan founded in 2007. But even though it’s been years since they graduated from the school, they remain close to their benefactor, their Mam’ O. In an interview last year, Thando said Oprah was there…

I did matric in 2006 when I was 25 years old. I left school in 2001 in the middle of the year because of some difficulties I had. It took me years to realise the potential in myself. Luckily I was accepted back at my old school and I now have a matric certificate. The thought of reaching Grade 12 and not having something to show for it had me feeling like I was cheating myself.LULAMILE CEDRICK Education is not the only signifier of success.

Tip For a capsule wardrobe, pick a few items and go from there. Having fewer choices lessens the hassle of having to figure out what you want to wear every day.

People often confuse the two. Learn the differences: COLD “Colds are the result of probably thousands of viruses,” says Cape Town GP Dr Dina de Bruyn. “And these viruses aren’t life-threatening.” The following symptoms indicate an ordinary cold: * A sore throat * A runny nose with a clear, white or grey mucous discharge * A dry or wet cough. FLU “Flu is more serious and is caused by the influenza A and B viruses,” de Bruyn says. “These viruses look different every season and must be fought with new medication year after year.” If you have the flu, you’ll have the following symptoms on top of the cold symptoms listed above: * A temperature above 38°C * Painful joints and muscles * Headache * Nausea and vomiting * Slight…

THE Covid-19 pandemic has left many businesses struggling to stay afloat. But what happens to your retirement-fund money if the company you work for goes under or your working hours are shortened? What happens if you’re put on unpaid leave? We look at the possible consequences and give tips on what you can do to keep your retirement investment going in these tough times. RETIREMENT ANNUITIES If you belong to a retirement annuity (RA) through your work, your employer usually contributes on your behalf. Although they pay the contributions, the savings are in your name. That means your investment can continue regardless of your employer’s status, says Saleem Sonday from Allan Gray. The moment your employer notifies you that it’s quitting its contributions on your behalf, you can set up…

BELLE BARBU Belle was a newborn when her family were falsely informed she had a heart condition. Her parents, who lived in Romania, were struggling financially and couldn’t afford to see a specialist, so they blindly trusted the doctor who told them to leave Belle behind in hospital so she could undergo treatment. Days later, they were told she’d died. But the truth was Belle had been kidnapped and a large sum of money was paid for her adoption in the United States. For 25 years she lived in Washington County, Utah, before friends encouraged her to take a DNA test. The results traced her heritage back to India, Israel and parts of Europe, which didn’t gel with her supposed American roots. She reached out to Operation Underground Railroad, a…

SMOKE & MIRRORS TALK about a toxic workplace! GABRIELLE UNION revealed that she was physically sick on the set of America’s Got Talent, where she served just one season as a judge, thanks to producer SIMON COWELL’s constant smoking. “I couldn’t escape,” the actress told Variety magazine. “I ended up staying sick for two months straight. It was a cold that lingered and turned into bronchitis.” She complained about it to top management but with Simon being the most powerful person on the production, nothing was done. “I felt singled out as being difficult when I’m asking for basic laws to be followed.” Gabi left the show on a bitter note. She accused the producers of racism among other things, and they launched an internal investigation. But she was still…
