HE WASN’T born in South Africa yet he’s risking life and limb to fight crime in his adoptive nation. Why? “My old man used to say if the country is good enough to live in it, it’s good enough to fight for,” is Paul O’Sullivan’s response. It’s an attitude that has brought the forensic investigator praise and danger in equal measure yet he won’t give up his fight against crime for anything. Not even a recent dramatic arrest in front of his two young kids will stop him – read more about his fascinating story on page 16. Another story in this issue I couldn’t wait to read was that of the Gupta family and the drama that has been unfolding around them. In typical YOU fashion we look at…

VLADIMIR PUTIN It’s been estimated that of the transactions exposed in the Panama leaks at least $2 billion (R30 billion) worth were conducted by people with links to the Russian president. In one case all it took was 24 hours to set up a chain of four shell companies in three countries, involving two banks and whoosh – the money deposited became virtually untraceable. But the Russian government has dismissed speculation about the president’s involvement as “Putinophobia” and say it’s a giant smear campaign orchestrated by the West to discredit Putin ahead of parliamentary elections later this year. KHULUBUSE ZUMA The South African tycoon was drawn into the scandal when the leaked documents named him as being authorised to represent Caprikat Ltd‚ an offshore company based in the British Virgin…

ON KASSIE and Liesel Kasselman’s farm, Klein Soebattersvlakte near Still Bay in the Western Cape, you’re woken in the morning by cows mooing just outside your window. Here 200 registered Jersey cows, known by name on the farm, graze undisturbed on the lush pastures. From their creamy milk and that provided by four other small producers, 420 kg of cheese are made daily. Cheesemaker Jonathan Hendricks and his nine helpers do everything by hand: from cutting cheeses in huge troughs and packing the pieces in pressing moulds, to packaging the final product and loading it onto trucks. Kasselshoop cheeses are mainly white. The main difference between Cheddar and Gouda, Jonathan explains, is the salt – for Cheddar it’s strewn over the cheese while Gouda lies in a salt bath. Dried…

INSPIRED by the elegance of 1960s black-and-white photography, monochrome is one of the most confident interior styles. It has stood the test of time. Here a neutral room is lifted with coral elements to give it a distinct look. DECORATING WITH BLACK AND WHITE • Keep the overall palette calm with natural white, black and grey on the walls, floor and furniture. A burst of coral in the detail keep the look vibrant without becoming overpowering. • Monochrome brings a sense of sophistication and elegance to a space. It’s an easy colour palette to work with and offers plenty of advantages. By only adding small details with colour it’s easy and inexpensive to change the look whenever you feel like it. • The obvious contrast between monochrome colours also allows…

ABUSIVE BROTHER IS TRAUMATISING ME Q I’m 51 and went through a tough divorce 20 years ago. My ex and I have a daughter living overseas. My younger brother lived in the UK for 20 years, married there and had two sons, now aged six and eight. His wife died a year ago from breast cancer. I immediately got on a plane and went over to help him. He’d drink all night, then become abusive. I could have left but was too concerned about his kids. I helped the family pack up and they came back to SA, living with me for three months before moving into their own home. I warned my brother that I wouldn’t tolerate his bad behaviour but he was even worse than in the UK.…

1 He’s kind of a big deal as a DJ, goes by the name Big Driis and even opened for Madonna at a concert in Berlin last year. 2 He’s released two full-length rap albums as well as three shorter EPs and featured on and produced music for Jay-Z. 3 When he was just starting out as an actor he appeared in iconic British comedy series Absolutely Fabulous, as a gigolo. 4 He’s so over speculation he may be the next 007. “I’m probably the most famous Bond actor in the world and I’ve not even played the role. Enough is enough.” 5 He’s honoured he was chosen to play Nelson Mandela in the 2013 movie Long Walk To Freedom. “Remember the lottery commercials where the clouds opened and this…

LISTEN TO THIS! debut solo album. Let’s be clear: Zayn is no Justin Timberlake (who’s had huge success as a solo artist after leaving boyband ’NSync) but with this solid start he’s well on his way. Mind Of Mine became the first debut album to top the daily iTunes charts in more than 70 countries. If you’ve heard the singles Pillowtalk, It’s You and Like I Would you know what to expect. This album is definitely not for tween One Direction fans and one thing is clear: the 23-year-old is all grown up and he wants you to know he’s getting hot between the sheets. The tunes are more mature, edgy and sexually charged than anything we’ve heard from the British singer before. He also tries his hand at soulful…

TAURUS 20 APRIL – 20 MAY Step out of the mould and experiment Trying out the unfamiliar or having a go at things you’ve never done before is what this week is all about, even if you’re a Taurus who likes to stick to the tried -and-tested. This can range from exploring other philosophies and meeting up with foreigners to trying out a new hobby. You might even just want to visit a new restaurant, take a different route to work or buy your groceries at another supermarket. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 21, 12, 26, 29, 35, 3 GEMINI MAY 21 – JUN 20 Information overload could crowd your mind, especially if you’re a Gemini who likes to know something about everything. Take time out to rid mind and soul of…

HOW many dogs have been lucky enough to eat a steak supper, have a famous cricketer throw a ball for them and get to sit in a fire engine? Buddy, a cattle dog from Brisbane, Australia, got to do all these things – and pictures of his antics, which his doting owner posted on Facebook, have brought tears to the eyes of animal lovers the world over. When a vet broke the news to Emily Mochan (24) that her six-year-old pooch had terminal cancer the student was determined to pull out all the stops to make Buddy’s last weeks magical and memorable. And so she drew up a bucket list of 50 amazing activities for her longtime pal. From participating in a paw-painting class and eating a full string of…

DON’T get a fright when you see him, his mom warns. “He’s not the Jonathan you used to know.” The little boy is sitting in his pram in the backyard of his family home in Bluewater Bay, Port Elizabeth. He doesn’t come hobbling towards us or wheel himself around on a push-bike as he did when we last visited the family (YOU, 31 October 2013). Today Jonathan Bezuidenhout lies with his arms crossed over his chest, fragile and pale. He’s wearing a silver crown because it’s his 12th birthday. It’s a milestone because children with his condition often don’t make it to age 10. Jonathan suffers from a rare syndrome called mucopolysaccharidosis type 1 (MPS 1), which occurs in just one in a million births. The genetic disorder is characterised…

WHAT Wyatt Fuller wants he pretty much gets – just ask any Bold fan. Case in point: setting his sights on Brooke’s beautiful daughter Hope and eventually marrying her. Although that ended rather dramatically when she fell down a flight of steps, lost their unborn baby and fled to Italy. Fortunately for Darin Brooks (31), the actor who plays poor Wyatt, his life is a lot less dramatic – although he too relentlessly pursues his passions. Case in point: setting his sights on Canadian actress Kelly Kruger (33) of rival soap The Young And The Restless and finally getting her to agree to marry him. In a scene made in soapie heaven, he whisked her off to Paris and popped the question at sunset in a rose petal-strewn hotel room…

There’s one thing CONNIE FERGUSON is happy to leave behind when she bids farewell to soapie Generations: The Legacy – filming love scenes. “Kissing scenes are awkward and embarrassing!” Now Connie (45) is saying goodbye to those scenes and the soap for good. As the beloved Karabo Moroka in Generations she went from a young girl trying to prove herself to a formidable businesswoman heading an empire. It mirrors her story off-screen – she first joined Generations in 1993 when she was just starting out as an actress and today she’s a veteran in the industry, not only in front of the camera but behind it too as co-owner (with hubby Shona) of production company Ferguson Films. Now it’s time to focus on producing, her cosmetics brand and, of course,…

JOHN TRAVOLTA (62) took time out in Central Park, New York, with son BENJAMIN (5) and the nanny, seemingly unperturbed by the latest rumours he has an appetite for male masseurs. The life of the American Crime Story star is under scrutiny again after reports of his supposed demands when staying at hotels. Pagesix.com claims the actor, who’s married to actress Kelly Preston, wants a male masseur and that all his windows be blacked out. He also requests the room be empty for 24 hours so he can’t smell other people’s scent and that he doesn’t require sheets as he brings his own.…

• It was DREW BARRYMORE’s quirky, carefree nature that led to her recent split from hubby of four years art dealer Will Kopelman (YOU 14 April), according to a new report. “She’s so hippie-dippy and all over the place and it started to become unbearable for Will,” a source told Us Weekly, adding that the actress and mom of two “tried to be what Will wanted” but that she just “didn’t fit in” due to her free-spirited nature. • Turns out JAKE GYLLENHAAL (35) had it bad for Jennifer Aniston (47) once upon a time. The hunky actor, who stars in the new comedy-drama Demolition, says his co-star in 2002’s The Good Girl left him speechless. “I had a crush on her for years. And working with her was not…

IF THERE’S one bit of advice former Bok coach Heyneke Meyer has for his successor it’s to be prepared. And he isn’t talking about game plans here – he’s talking politics. Rugby politics. “I don’t think anyone realises how politically difficult it is off the field,” he said in a recent TV interview. “It’s going to be a big challenge for the next coach.” And that man is Allister Coetzee (52). Although at the time of going to print the announcement hadn’t officially been made, it seemed cut and dried. The new coach’s first task will be a three-Test series against Ireland ( from 11 to 25 June), followed by the Rugby Championship pitting SA, New Zealand, Australia and Argentina against one another ( from August to October). And in…

SHE’LL never forget the humiliation. Baking beautiful cakes was something she prided herself on and she was pleased with the design she’d come up with for a client’s wedding. But as she walked to her garden gate to hand it over she felt prickles of heat and knew it was starting . . . By the time she reached the gate rivulets of sweat were pouring down her face and her glasses had misted over. Her client was disgusted. “That woman treated me terribly,” Sue Wahl (39) recalls. “She shouted, ‘Look what you look like – and you expect me to take this cake?’ I turned around, put the cake in the kitchen and went to my bedroom to cry.” That incident happened about three years ago and it was…

This would be a much better world if more married couples were as deeply in love as they are in debt – EARL WILSON, ITSAMONEYTHING.COM TRICK YOU HERE, TRICK YOU THERE Cases of loan fraud are legion. An “honourable company” offers you a loan at a favourable interest rate, but first you must pay a fee. And then another . . . but you never see your money or the loan. This type of fraud increases when the economy is weak and unemployment high, because desperate people make easy targets. The con artists sometimes pretend to be representatives of existing, respected companies. WHATTOWATCH OUTFOR Loan fraudsters may appear honest and often create websites to make their “company” look genuine. Their letters might have all the correct contact details…

THE GOOD DINOSAUR 2015. 93 min. PG V. Animated adventure. R139* Wimpy apatosaur Arlo (voiced by Raymond Ochoa) is born into a world where an asteroid never hit Earth and dinosaurs didn’t become extinct. His family are farmers and when a critter routinely breaks in and eats their harvest, Poppa (Jeffrey Wright) tells Arlo to kill it. The critter turns out to be a wild human boy named Spot (Jack Bright) and when he and Arlo are swept down-river by a storm they have to rely on each other to survive. Pixar Studios has made some classics (WALL.E, Finding Nemo) thanks to its commitment to story and character as much as animation. But sometimes its “brain trust” isn’t happy with a film’s progress and replaces the director, with the results…

SHE GOT IT FROM HER MAMA! Kaia is the mini-me of her supermodel mom, Cindy Crawford. The mom-and-daughter duo recently landed their first joint Vogue cover. Her dad, Rande Gerber, is also a former model. FASHIONISTA The leggy beauty loves to raid her mom’s closet. “I’ll ask to borrow things, and they’ll wind up in my own wardrobe permanently,” she told Teen Vogue. “My mother is constantly wondering why stuff disappears.” STAR ON THE RISE Kaia landed her first modelling gig with Versace when she was just 10.

Q Without looking at the label on the Joop! bottle, do you know what the main ingredients of your fragrance are? A Vanilla, cinnamon and citrus (orange and lemon). Q If you were available in a bottle, how would you describe your “fragrance”? A Jono! Homme would be a sensual fragrance with equal top notes of naughty and nice. The heart would be very warm with lots of love and humility, with the exotic base notes introducing plenty of laughter, fun and crazy adventure. Q What other bottles are big in your life? A Thinking of the bottles I use most, it’s mainly mundane stuff – milk, honey, dishwashing liquid. Q Are you the kind of person who bottles things up? A Maybe with people I don’t know and trust,…

‘I had a reduction to better my life and my health and I think that can benefit a lot of young girls’ – ARIEL WINTER ARIEL WINTER showed off some new ink as well as the results of her recent breast reduction during a romantic break in Florida with boyfriend of two years, photographer LAURENT GAUDETTE. The couple, who were joined by a host of pals including Ariel’s Modern Family co-star Nolan Gould, looked extremely loved-up, at one point stopping to smooch on the white sand. The 18-year-old showed off her fit and fabulous body in a gold chain bikini. The teen says she’s been feeling “happier than ever” since undergoing surgery last year which saw her going from an F to a D cup.…

I’M IN PUZZLING HEAVEN IN 2011 a friend signed a two-year contract in Lilongwe, Malawi, and I went with him. YOU gets to Lilongwe only one to one-and-a-half months after publication. A year later we ran into difficulties and I could no longer buy the magazine. I managed to get back to Port Elizabeth at the beginning of this year. My daughter in PE knows I’m mad about the Blockbusters and unbeknown to me she’d kept them all since 2011 in plastic sleeves in a lever-arch file. When the answers were published she cut them out and pasted them on the back of the relevant crossword. Imagine my delight when she presented me with this file – five years’ worth of crosswords! I’ve been overdosing on them. She’s a very…

When your grandkids come to visit, two things are important to make sure things run smoothly: parents and grandparents must communicate, and the rules and routines both parties follow at home must be respected, says Dr Lesley Corrie, a forensic social worker based in Upington and author of books about children’s rights. While you don’t want to be seen as interfering or make parents feel you’re undermining them, you need to make it clear you have boundaries that must be respected. ADVICE FOR GRANDPARENTS Be involved from early on. Start creating bonds with the child so you understand their temperament and know how to handle them, says psychologist Dr Rosa Bredekamp from Cape Town. It’s important parents and grandparents communicate about their expectations as this will help prevent problems. Discuss…

PRINCE CHARLES GAVE HIM A LEG UP Idris grew up in a rough area of London called Hackney, the only son of West African immigrants. His mother, Eve, was from Ghana and his father, Winston, from Sierra Leone. “Acting was so far removed from my parents’ worlds – my mom worked in admin and my dad in a local factory – that you wouldn’t have blamed them for laughing me out of the house but they didn’t. They were supportive and I’ll always respect them for it” Thanks to a grant from The Prince’s Trust (a charity set up by Prince Charles in 1976) Idris attended Britain’s National Youth Music Theatre and today he’s an ambassador for the trust. HE’S A MAN OF MANY TALENTS The 43-year-old isn’t only an…

‘It’s a hopeful story and one with heart’ THERE’S something quite familiar about the scenes – yet it’s definitely different. There’s the stealthy snake working its sneaky charms, the beloved bear and the powerful panther. There’s also the wolf, the orang-utan and the terrifying tiger – and of course the most famous man cub in the world. But something about them has changed. Kaa, Mowgli, Baloo and co and all the other beloved characters in one of the most celebrated children’s stories of all time are back in a 21st century big-screen take on Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale The Jungle Book. The movie, which opens in SA on 15 April, promises to be a visual feast, using the latest live-action/computer-generated (CGI) techniques from Hollywood to recount the story of a…

‘She was more than excited, she was thrilled’ – BLAC CHYNA’S PR IF ALL goes according to plan, BLAC CHYNA (27) and ROB KARDASHIAN (29) will be married by the end of the year!
