I WAS walking around the office with our mock-up cover of supermodel Cindy Crawford and her beautiful mini-me daughter asking if anyone recognised her. Everyone over the age of 35 did immediately. But what amazed me was a few newbies thought she was Caitlyn Jenner. What, I said? Seriously? So we had one of our journalists do some research. Lo and behold, one of Caitlyn’s stylists actually said they’d used Cindy Crawford as inspiration. The similarity is pretty remarkable – the hair, the dresses, the styling. See page 16 and tell us what you think. We’re having renovations done at home so all my clothes had to come downstairs into the study. I was appalled by how much stuff I hadn’t worn for years. It was a great opportunity to…

SHE became a familiar face in the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria, often sitting next to the mother of the woman who’d died at the hands of her lover. She was there to show her support for the victim’s family and ensure they had all the legal support they needed. Now Jacqui Mofokeng has made headlines herself – as the person who spearheaded the campaign to ensure Oscar Pistorius wasn’t released as scheduled on 21 August. Spokesperson for the ANC Women’s League in Gauteng, Jacqui was at June Steenkamp’s side every day for the duration of the trial in which Oscar (28) faced murder charges for fatally shooting Reeva Steenkamp. When she learnt during the trial that Reeva and her own daughter were the same age, born just a…

The controversy surrounding Oscar’s correctional supervision has revealed gaping holes in the system, says Clare Ballard of Lawyers for Human Rights, an independent human rights organisation. “When correctional services and the parole board initially approved his parole in June 2015 it was done prior to him being eligible for parole.” Although it’s procedure that applications for conditional release are made before the date of eligibility, in Oscar’s case a decision was made even before he qualified. “I don’t think the minister of justice and correctional services was incorrect in revoking the parole,” Ballard says. “But I do think it was embarrassing that his department failed to manage its own parole process by not following due process. “What concerns me is that in his statement to the media, minister Michael Masutha…

SHE didn’t have any specific requirements for her all-important debut as a woman and left it to her team of stylists to come up with a look she’d love. All she wanted was to perfectly represent the woman she’d become, the person she was always meant to be. In the end her team turned to a modelling icon for inspiration and started to create their magic. And by many accounts the first appearance of Caitlyn Jenner (65) on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine was a triumph of femininity. The famous supermodel on which Caitlyn’s look was styled was none other than Cindy Crawford, members of her team revealed recently. “We looked to Cindy’s hair for inspiration, which is always glamorous but natural-looking,” says hairstylist Oribe, who was among Caitlyn’s…

Ashley Madison claimed to be a “100 percent discreet service” for those keen to have extramarital affairs but it now turns out the website was short-changing its customers with a number of bad security and data-storage practices. It’s come to light employees used passwords such as Password1234 to protect sensitive information – it was this vulnerability in the system that probably allowed hackers to get their hands on seven years of credit-card transaction details. Turns out some of the credit cards are still valid and in use, which means the leaked details could potentially be used to commit acts of fraud. But it’s the breach of user privacy that’s even more of an issue. In addition to facing the wrath of their betrayed spouses, high-profile people who were on the…

IT’S HARD to believe Mareli Visser used to have no interest in food – sewing was her passion. But the cooking bug bit when she was in her late thirties and she turned into a committed foodie. Now she embarks on food trips including a recent one to India and loves YouTube videos on preparing items such as macaroons. She repeats the recipes until she’s perfected them. About five years ago Mareli and her husband, Hennie, renovated an old farmhouse at Douglas, southwest of Kimberley on the Vaal River. She now runs a venue there called Casa Mila, which can accommodate up to 140 people for weddings and other functions. At first, catering for so many people was nerve-racking but the food has turned out to be her venue’s biggest…

IS HE TOO OLD? Q I’m 44 and dating a man who’s 58. It’s been three weeks and I think I’m in love. He proposed the first time we met – his first words to me were that finally God had healed his wounds, before even asking my name or whether I was married. My sister-in-law was with me when we met and she thinks he’s too old for me and that people will think I’m desperate. I lost my husband eight years ago and decided to stay single but feel differently now this guy has come into my life. He’s only met my daughter, not my son. Because of what my sister-in-law said I’m hesitant about introducing him to my parents. I’ve met his family and they’re happy for…

VIRGO 23 AUGUST – 22 SEPTEMBER Keep an eye on the big picture this week This is a week where worrying too much about insignificant detail and sweating the small stuff can really pull you down. This is true about your work as well as your personality. Giving your best is good enough and so are you. On another tack, it’s a great time to get involved in projects which demand focus. You might also be drawn to studying a subject that requires you to delve deep and do intense research.

CAMPING CLOCK Two boys are camping out in their parents’ back garden. They awake at some point in the night but have no idea what time it is. “Let’s start singing at the top of our voices” the first boy says. “How will that help?” the second one asks. “Let’s just do it” The boys start to sing their lungs out. Moments later a neighbour throws open her window and bellows, “Keep it down! Don’t you know it’s three in the morning?” PAT LADDS THE WAY IT’S DONE The morning after their wedding night the new husband gets up early, goes to the kitchen, makes coffee, cooks bacon and eggs and takes his bride breakfast in bed. She’s delighted. “Have you noticed what I’ve just done?” he asks. “Of course,…

When celebrity make-up artist GINA MYERS (right) watched a beauty blogger’s video called You Look Disgusting on YouTube she was shocked by how mean people can be about a woman’s looks. The blogger, whose video had gone viral, had wanted to show why women battle to feel confident in their own skin by posting pictures of herself without make-up and revealing the negative comments these elicited – including that she was “disgusting”, “gross” and “ugly”. When she posted images of herself fully made-up she was called “so pretty”, “stunning”, “beautiful” and “so perfect”. Gina was inspired to start a campaign called Woman With Confidence and asked a number of local celebs to take part. “I’m hoping it will make people realise we all have flaws” she says. “We’re always so…

• MEL GIBSON (59) has denied assaulting a photographer in Sydney recently. Kristi Miller claims the Oscar winner – who has a nasty reputation for abuse – hit, spat at and pushed her when she tried to take a picture of him and his girlfriend, US equestrian vaulter Rosalind Ross (24), as they left a cinema in Sydney. “He was spitting in my face as he was yelling at me, calling me a dog, saying I’m not even a human being and I will go to hell,” she says, adding that he only stopped when Rosalind stepped in and calmed him down. What an idiot! • KELLY CLARKSON (33) dropped the news she’s preggers again in a spur-of-the-moment announcement to her fans at a Los Angeles concert. After struggling to…

IT’S no surprise many of the people who have to watch over offenders under correctional supervision were once social workers. They’ve seen the evidence of some of the worst crimes that have been committed, under the worst circumstances – and still have to help the inmates find redemption. It’s not always easy, say two probation officers who spoke to YOU on condition of anonymity. With the spotlight falling on their work after Oscar Pistorius’ correctional supervision was revoked, there’s been an even greater clampdown on officials speaking to the media. An inmate like Oscar certainly wouldn’t be living a life of luxury as a free man if he’s released, says Hope Sithole*, a former social worker and now probation officer in Gauteng. “Corrective supervision is a form of punitive rehabilitation,”…

THEY’RE often the first in their family to be able to afford a flashy car, a beautiful townhouse and the great clothes that come with a high-paying job. And they’re the reason South Africa’s middle class is now more black than white and why the middle-class has grown so rapidly. Young black South Africans rising through the corporate ranks have helped South Africa’s burgeoning middle class to expand rapidly in the past few years. In fact 10 percent of South Africans find themselves in this fortunate category of having a tertiary education, a salaried job, a house, a car, medical aid and pay TV, according to a report recently released by the South African Institute of Race Relations (IRR). But black middle-class South Africans are now also increasingly under extreme…

YOUR FIRST EARNINGS The golden rule is that you should take care of your financial responsibilities first. Do this by drawing up a budget listing all your expenses and income. Expenses such as rent, food and transport, as well as debt such as a study loan, must be paid first. Save a portion of what’s left before spending money on luxuries. Never spend more than you earn, even if you want to keep up with your friends. To ensure your debts stay under control you must keep an eye on your budget every month and stick to it. BUILD YOUR CREDIT RECORD A credit card is useful – provided you don’t run up debt. A credit-card account in your name can help you to build up a good credit record.…

A All ages D Drugs H Horror L Language N Nudity P Prejudice PG Parental guidance S Sex V Violence LISTEN TO THIS! COMMUNION YEARS & YEARS It’s like Sam Smith-meets- Ellie Goulding, injected with a whole lot of feel-good pop. This British synth-pop trio’s debut album is easy listening and catchy.

H IS FOR HAWK By Helen Macdonald, Alfred A Knopf, R339* This is the unflinching story of how the Cambridge history lecturer came to terms with her father’s sudden death by learning to fly a wild hawk. Fascinated by birds since childhood – she owned a kestrel when she was 12 – Macdonald had been a long-time falconer by the time her father, a Fleet Street photographer, died. Numbed by grief, she buys a goshawk on the internet and takes delivery of it at a Scottish harbour, an exchange she describes as feeling a bit like a drug deal. She names the bird Mabel and what follows is their harrowing journey as she trains the bird while painstakingly healing inside. A meditation on nature and bereavement, this is a dense…

SIMPLE LIFE While Kendrick (28) can afford a super-fancy abode, he prefers to live in a flat close to where he grew up. “I wouldn’t know what to do with myself in a mansion” he quips. He also doesn’t drink alcohol and avoids clubs. ALBUM TALK His third album, To Pimp A Butterfly, is inspired by his scepticism of celebrity and the harsh realities of his poor upbringing. “It represents using my celebrity for good and not being pimped by the industry through my celebrity.” INSPIRATION Kendrick was eight when his dad took him to watch Dr Dre and Tupac shoot the video for California Love just two blocks from their home. “That’s a moment I’ll never forget.” Thirteen years, an EP and a bunch of mix tapes later, Dre…

SOUTH Africans had never seen anything like him. Foul-mouthed and unashamedly “zef”, Jack Parow didn’t seem to care who he offended when he rocketed to stardom in 2010 with the release of his first album. The Afrikaans rapper’s hits such as Cooler As Ekke and Dans Dans Dans stormed up local charts, winning him an army of loyal fans – but there was also plenty of controversy, with critics raging about his explicit lyrics. The irony is everyone was getting into a spin about a man who didn’t even exist – Jack is a fictitious creation dreamt up by Cape Town musician Zander Tyler (33). But who exactly is the man behind the moustache? In a candid new autobiography, Die Ou Met Die Snor By Die Bar (the guy with…

YOU’VE tried to tidy your home but almost as soon as you finish, the clutter starts piling up again. That’s because you’re not doing it right, says Japanese cleaning guru Marie Kondo. And she knows what she’s talking about: from the age of 15 she developed a passion for tidying up and she now earns a living helping people to organise their homes. Her books on the subject have sold more than two million copies worldwide and Time magazine recently included her in its 2015 list of the world’s 100 most influential people. Marie’s aim in life is to help people get their houses in order. In this extract from her bestselling guide, The Life-Changing Magic Of Tidying Up, she offers foolproof techniques you can use to turn your home…

FROM the outside it looks like any other minibus but this green Volkswagen Caravelle is no ordinary vehicle. A peek inside reveals there’s much more to this vehicle than meets the eye. Much healing is taking place here, its owner says. It’s an “emotional ambulance”, says Andreas Banetsi Mphunga of his intriguing minibus. Inside most of the seats have been removed, leaving just two facing each other and providing a comfortable space for two people – which is all Banetsi needs. It’s clear he’s not using it to ferry commuters around. Instead he drives it around Cape Town’s Khayelitsha township offering it as a safe space for those in need of counselling and support. The registered psychologist came up with the idea of using a minibus as a mobile psychology…

WP PLAYER KURT COLEMAN (25) “I met this girl through mutual friends who showed me pictures of her. They set up the date and when we met she looked nothing like her pictures and we had nothing in common. There were plenty of awkward silences. I paid, left and we never spoke or saw each other again” PRESENTER LIEZEL VAN DER WESTHUIZEN (37) “I was set up on a blind date, only to arrive and find the date and his mom at the table. The entire evening his mom answered all the questions and asked me some very personal questions including stuff about my medical history!” COMEDIAN JASON GOLIATH (35) “I went for drinks with a group of friends who’d invited some other people and met a gorgeous woman. We…

I’m sure most South Africans sympathise with the Steenkamps about the tragic death of their daughter, Reeva, but it’s time they stopped knocking Oscar Pistorius (YOU, 20 August). Oscar was sent to prison and it was the South African judiciary that decided how long he had to serve. Whether this changes remains to be seen. There are many killers out there who haven’t served time, who’ve got away with their crimes. I’m in no way trying to belittle the memory of Reeva Steenkamp by saying this but the Steenkamps have got to move on, tragically without their daughter! I wish them well and hope they find some peace in the future. HAZEL STEVENSON, EMAIL • Barry and June Steenkamp aren’t the first or last couple to lose a daughter to…

Parole and correctional supervision are effectively the same concept, says Professor Jamil Mujuzi of the University of the Western Cape’s law department. “Parole and correctional supervision are forms of community corrections,” he says. Correctional supervision can apply even if the person has never been behind bars – it becomes, in a way, a replacement for being in prison but conditions are so strict the person is still being punished for their crime. Parole, on the other hand, is when the person goes back into the community as if he were free with fewer strict conditions. A parole board determines whether an inmate should be placed under parole or correctional supervision, depending on factors such as eligibility, behaviour, or if they’re still regarded as a danger to society. And the court…

SHE has the same tumbling tresses, the long limbs and chiselled cheekbones that made her mother famous. No wonder her former-model mom feels a tad jealous when she sees her mini-me. “I look at her and I’m, like, ‘You have my old skin – I want it back! You have my old legs – I want them back! You have my old hair – I want it back!” But it’s clear despite a tinge of envy Cindy Crawford couldn’t be prouder of her 13-year-old daughter, Kaia Gerber. “She’s just getting more and more beautiful,” the 49-year-old says proudly. Others agree – the teen recently signed to top international modelling agency IMG and announced the news with a stunning fashion shoot in Vogue Italia to add to her growing portfolio. Kaia…

1 Appreciate your ability to earn money  There’s so much value in being well and healthy and able to earn an income. It’s one of your main assets and you should protect it in case something like disability comes your way. 2 Start to save early  The trick to successful saving isn’t how much you can save, but how soon you begin.

Think about the financial implications of an unhealthy lifestyle – and make responsible decisions. 5 Keep a balance  Prioritise your finances, but don’t neglect…

YOU Diet-try it!  Every month for 12 months YOU has been publishing a new diet. Why? So you could find one that best suits your lifestyle, food preferences and dietary needs. WHAT YOU GET > Week 1: a new diet > Weeks 2, 3 and 4: an eating plan for the week PLUS recipes PLUS expert tips. IT’S easy to become confused about diets – we’re almost constantly bombarded with information about the “best” way to lose weight. But here is the diet that’s proved its worth over the centuries – the Mediterranean diet, which is in fact more of an eating plan and a way of life than a diet. So you want to lose weight, prevent heart disease, lower your cholesterol count and risk of Alzheimer’s disease, manage…

This Pietermaritzburg-born hottie is living it up in Los Angeles where she’s co-written tracks for the likes of Rihanna and Christina Aguilera. The 34-year-old songstress is also featured as a guest vocalist on two tracks, Genocide and Medicine Man, on Dr Dre’s new album, Compton – his first in 16 years. Dr Dre says you remind him of [King Kunta rapper] Kendrick Lamar. How do you feel about the comparison? Overwhelmed, of course! Kendrick is an amazing artist. Dre said we had a great energy about us he admired. That was definitely an amazing compliment. What was it like working with Eminem and Dr Dre on Medicine Man? Em is incredible. I just can’t put into words how impressive he is. He’s one of my all-time favourite lyricists. It was…

SHE’S travelled the world, rubbing shoulders with a host of celebrities – from talk-show host Oprah Winfrey to the pope. But there’s one country Susan Boyle’s always longed to visit: South Africa. And at last the Scottish singer is getting her chance to sing her heart out on local soil. Susan (54) is the international draw-card at SuperSkouspel, the musical extravaganza hosted by YOU’s sister magazine Huisgenoot, kykNET and Big Concerts at the FNB Stadium in Nasrec, Johannesburg, on 19 September. Local fans have been fascinated by the singer ever since she rocketed to fame in the reality TV series Britain’s Got Talent six years ago. With her frizzy hair and dowdy clothes she didn’t seem to stand a chance of making it through the opening round – but the…

WAS MEGAN FOX’s ambition to blame for the end of her five-year marriage to BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN (42)? Seems so. According to insiders, the 29-year-old beauty’s “obsession” with getting film roles drove a wedge between her and the former TV heart-throb, with whom she has two sons, Noah (2) and Bodhi (18 months). The pair reportedly fought constantly about her career, which exploded after she landed a recurring role in the hit franchise, Transformers (2007). Even after becoming a mom Megan reportedly refused to slow down, which infuriated Brian, who wanted her to spend more time at home with him and the kids. It probably didn’t help that his career has for the most part slumped. It was she who filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences” and 15 June as…
