FROM the minute they arrested him he said he was innocent. When they hauled him before a judge, when she found him guilty of murder, when she sentenced him to life imprisonment – all the time he maintained his innocence. Yet nobody believed Thembekile Molaudzi and he was sent to Kgosi Mampuru II Prison in Pretoria. After all, he’d been identified by his co-accused as being part of a group of eight men who murdered policeman Dingaan Makuna in Mothutlung, North West, in 2002. Two of them placed him at the scene and he was arrested in 2003. But Thembekile (37) was determined to prove his innocence – no matter how long it took. Every year he told himself that by June that year he’d be out of jail, but…

FLOWER CHILD Adding flowers to your hair isn’t new but now they’re bigger and bolder. Actress Vanessa Hudgens likes accessorising with flowers and we love her floral Alice band. SPARKLES Singer Miley Cyrus combined braids and accessories to create this edgy look. Use accessories to complement your outfit. Here, glass beads are woven into her hair but a beaded headband will create the same effect. LAZY HAIR DAY Tie your hair into a messy ponytail or high bun and throw in a twist headband like model Cara Delevingne. This look may not appeal to every age group. For a more conservative look use a small neck scarf and tuck in the ends instead. TOTALLY GLAM Actress Kate Hudson is always ahead of the pack when it comes to beauty and…

MY SISTER HAS IT ALL AND I HAVE NOTHING Q My mom had me when she was a teen, then got married and my sister was planned. The way I see it my parents made many mistakes with me but then improved things with my sister. When I was in my twenties I went from job to job and relationship to relationship. I got engaged, moved in with the guy, fell pregnant, got kicked out and had an abortion. When he kicked me out he told me it was because someone had told him I was a problem. In my thirties I eloped, my husband and I travelled and we had two children. I’m now 38 and tired of my boring life. I try to make friends but after a…

HIS BAD-BOY DAYS ARE OVER ‘I’m not who I was pretending to be. Why I say I was pretending is often we pretend to be something we’re not as a cover-up of what we’re truly feeling inside.’ The artsy video involved fans being invited to an art gallery and asked to produce drawings of Justin dancing. Their contributions were then curated and turned into the psychedelic images featured in the vid. FANS WILL BE HAPPY TO HEAR NEW MUSIC IS ON ITS WAY ‘He’s excited to share where he is with the world next year.

MENTION Adrian Smith and some may think you’re talking about the heavy metal super-group Iron Maiden’s guitarist and lyricist. But the musician has a namesake who’s just about as famous – this other Adrian Smith is more or less regarded as the rock star of architecture. In fact he’s so good at what he does he’s inspired a new term: starchitect. With Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, which at 828-m tall is by far the tallest building in the world, and several other skyscrapers to his name, the American is at the forefront of a sought-after group of architects who are constantly reaching for the stars. It seems within the next few years the Burj will be overtaken by the Kingdom Tower in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which at just more than a…

BOBBI KRISTINA’S LIFE IN PICTURES In a tragedy made even more poignant by the eerie similarities to her mother’s death, BOBBI KRISTINA BROWN died last week in her hospice bed. She was the only daughter of rapper Bobby Brown (46) and late pop superstar Whitney Houston, who died in 2012 aged 48. The troubled 22-year-old was declared braindead in January after she was found unconscious in her bathtub.

ALL THE LONELY PEOPLE BEING around older people has reminded me of when I was 15 years old in a convent school in Uitenhage. Each week the girls were given a charitable duty and I was asked to visit a lady at an old-age home. I was duly ushered politely into her room. Everything was spotless and beautifully decorated and the old lady was dressed in a silk nightie. I sat on the edge of her bed, impressed, until she looked at me. Her eyes were vacant, blank. I didn’t understand. Suddenly, I don’t know how, I knew I was looking into the eyes of intense loneliness. She had every material comfort but no one to talk to. I told her my name and asked her what she was wearing…

IT FEELS a bit blink-and-you’ll-missit, doesn’t it? Why, it was just the other day they were little twin tots whose first pictures became the most expensive celebrity baby pictures ever sold. Now look at them – sweet, seven and still sending the world into a frenzy when they make an appearance with one or both of their famous parents. There’s no mistaking whose children they are – Knox Leon and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt are a perfect mix of mom Angelina Jolie and dad Brad Pitt. Not that their recent seventh birthday party was the kind of over-the-top, takeover-the-place affair many A-list couples throw for their kids these days. Instead Brad (51) and Angie (40) gave the youngest of their six children a good-old fashioned ice-skating party with others their age –…

ON A sunny Christmas Day they stand at the end of the Hartenbos pier, gazing out to sea. She’s dressed in a red summer frock, he in white shorts and a pale-blue shirt. Both are barefoot. It’s here in this seaside village on the Garden Route where their romance blossomed three years ago. With the sound of waves breaking in the background, D’Niel Strauss goes down on bended knee and holds out a box with a diamond ring to Rolene Strauss. The infectious smile the world had seen only six days before when she was chosen as Miss World in London lights up her face. Then tears of happiness trickle down her cheeks as she sinks to her knees beside him and he puts the ring on her finger. With…

DOING the laundry might be less of a hassle if the space is more inviting and better organised. Follow our easy ideas for an updated laundry. 1 We put the word “Washing” in wooden letters above the window, and decanted washing powder and liquid into glass containers. 2 Two shelves were added for extra storage space. We cut a laminated pine shelf (1 200 mm x 200 mm R130, Builders Warehouse) in half and painted it black with leftover paint.

BLAKE & MIRANDA SINGERS BLAKE SHELTON and MIRANDA LAMBERT’s quickie divorce is getting uglier by the day as cheating rumours abound. Miranda (31) is said to be furious about allegations she cheated on her hubby of four years with two men, one of whom is believed to be fellow country star CHRIS YOUNG (31) who has been a friend for years. While Chris shot down the rumours on Instagram, stating they’re “totally false” and he’d “never betray his friendship” with the two country stars, it wasn’t enough to stop Blake filing for divorce. But The Voice mentor has also been accused of straying. On the day his divorce was made public, country singer Cady Groves, widely believed to have been his mistress, posted a string of cryptic tweets, one of…

In response to Wannabe Saver (YOU Say, 23 July) I believe it’s possible to save. Here are some ideas. If possible leave home earlier in the morning or work later to avoid traffic. This will reduce petrol and maintenance costs. And join a car pool. Do you really need armed response, or is an alarm-monitoring service sufficient? You could save a few thousand every year by changing. When last have you compared your short-term insurance? Once again, you could save a few thousand a year. How often do you buy takeaways or eat out? Cook meals that last two days such as stews, soups or curries. This will save you electricity/gas and time. By the way, gas is more expensive than electricity. These are just some suggestions. There are many…

ANNEKE Mostert’s room still looks the way she left it on 12 July. Above her bed medals hang in a row and karate symbols are painted on the white walls. It feels as if she could walk in at any minute, pick up her bag and go to school. Although it’s been two weeks since the 12-year-old shot herself with her father’s .38 revolver, the sadness of that Sunday afternoon still permeates just about every corner of the house in Quellerina, Johannesburg. In the dining room is a huge picture of the lively girl surrounded by bunches of flowers. “It still feels like a nightmare and that we’ll wake up any minute,” her mom, Margha, says softly. Her eyes fill with tears and she fidgets uncomfortably. “I actually don’t want…

MY GRANDMOTHER SENDS HER REGARDS AND APOLOGISES By Fredrik Backman, Hodder & Stoughton, R254* For seven-year-old Elsa, her grandmother’s stories of knights, princesses and fantastic kingdoms have defined her childhood, providing an escape from her parents’ failed marriage, her father’s new family and the bullies who lie in wait at school.

10 or less You may not be a boy magnet but there’s no need to be disheartened. Just because guys aren’t falling over themselves to get to know you doesn’t mean they’re not interested.

RAINFALL in South Africa is spread unevenly. The eastern areas near the warm ocean currents are a lot wetter than the western parts such as the Karoo. South Africa also experiences varying periods of drought or flood, and this influences the availability of water across the country. Hot, dry conditions lead to more evaporation. LIMITED RESOURCES South Africa’s water resources are scarce. The total flow of our rivers is about 49 200 million m³ a year. That’s less than half the flow of the closest large river, the Zambezi, which starts in Zambia. South Africa’s inland water resources include 22 major rivers, 165 large storage dams, more than 4 000 medium and small dams on public and private land as well as hundreds of small rivers. That sounds like a…

There’s a Big Brother element – they’ll stay in a house where cameras monitor their every move. And a Fear Factor aspect – they’ll be assigned challenges that will test their courage and skill. And a bit of Survivor – they’ll have to play the game strategically because every second week two couples will be up for elimination. When there are only two couples left, the viewers vote…

SHE refused to accept the doctors’ verdict even though the odds were overwhelmingly stacked against her. Diagnosed with brain cancer when six months pregnant, she believed she could beat the disease and give birth to her son. “Prognosis weak – two to three months,” a doctor’s letter said of the baby’s chances of survival. But Anneline van Reenen of Kuils River, Cape Town, was determined. She refused to give up the baby so she could undergo more intense treatment for the cancer that had spread to 11 areas on her spine, and also to parts of her brain and neck vertebrae. “I’ll be healthy,” the 36-year-old told YOU from her hospital bed soon after the diagnosis. “Once the baby is out, the cancer will be gone. I hear what the…

• Yikes! Terry Bollea aka HULK HOGAN (61) has been fired from the WWE after a racist tirade he unleashed was leaked online. The legendary wrestling star directs his N-word rant – which appears on a sex tape at the centre of a lawsuit between Terry and online publishing company Gawker – at his daughter Brooke, whom he accuses of sleeping with a black man. While Terry has since apologised, it seems it’s a case of too little, too late. • Turns out CALVIN HARRIS (31) played peacemaker in the recent Twitter feud betweenTaylor Swift (25) and Nicki Minaj. The Scottish DJ apparently encouraged his pop star girlfriend to apologise publicly to the 32-year-old rapper after they’d traded heated words. “Calvin knows Taylor doesn’t function well with high drama, and…
