I HAVE eight nieces and nephews. They’re all grown up now but when they were younger and needed entertaining it involved a fair amount of work. If only there had been tablets back then!

WHEN she sent her sister a joke via messaging service WhatsApp she expected the usual prompt reply. Every now and then she checked if anything had come through but there was nothing from the sibling she spoke to nearly every day. Then at 10.30 am her phone rang – but it wasn’t a call from her beloved sister. Instead it was their brother and his tone was rather grave. When the only thing he said was her name, all she felt was dread. “I asked him what’s wrong,” says Narita du Toit, sister of Teresa van Breda (55), who along with her husband, Martin (54), and son, Rudi (22), were murdered in their home on the exclusive De Zalze golf estate in Stellenbosch earlier this year. “I knew from his…

It’s unclear whether Athletics South Africa (ASA) will welcome Oscar back into the fold once he’s released. “We were given instructions not to give any comment on Oscar Pistorius,” Pieter de Jager, ASA acting office manager, tells YOU when asked. “Only the president of ASA [Aleck Skhosana] can release any statement on him and he’s on his way to Beijing for an IAAF congress. He’ll be available only early in September.” South Africa’s Olympic Committee referred questions about Oscar’s eligibility for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro next year to the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). The IPC is clear on the matter. “When Oscar was first sentenced we stated that he’d have to serve his five-year sentence in full before he’d be eligible to compete once again in Paralympic…

CAN IT be true? Is this really the final candid-camera offering from one of South Africa’s funniest men, or is it all part of one of his elaborate gags? Seems there’s no punchline this time around – partly because of all the punches he’s receiving. And so, yes, this is probably his last candid-camera film, veteran filmmaker Leon Schuster says. He won’t stop making movies, he’s quick to add – he just won’t be making the films that made him a household name and put thousands of bums on cinema seats. South Africans are far more aware of his tricks than when he started 30 years ago and can more easily see through his guises, he explains. And we’ve simply become far too angry and aggressive for him to get…

MANY people constantly struggle with their health and weight, no matter how much they try to get into shape.

BRITISH actor Henry Cavill brings his sophisticated charm to the big screen as dapper American spy Napoleon Solo in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Directed by Guy Ritchie and set in the ’60s Cold War era, the film is a reboot of the classic TV series that starred Robert Vaughn as Solo. Here Henry (32) talks about the movie, being a fat kid and becoming a global star. How would you describe The Man From U.N.C.L.E.? This movie has an entirely new way of approaching things. It’s a tribute to the ’60s which was a unique time culturally, and our film is all about embracing the wonder and coolness of that era. Did you watch the original TV series to get a feel for the story? No. It was before my…

DRAG ME DOWN: ONE DIRECTION Who needs Zayn Malik? Just days after the former One Directioner announced he’d landed a solo record deal his former bandmates released this hot new pop tune, their first single as a four-piece band and the first from their upcoming as-yet-untitled fifth album. The catchy track reveals a more mature sound and some are calling it a love song to their fans. Harry Styles (21) takes over the high notes from Zayn (22) and although his effort got mixed reactions from Directioners we think he does a decent job. BODY ON ME: RITA ORA FEAT CHRIS BROWN Talk about a steamy tune! The UK pop songstress has been criticised for teaming up with controversial R&B star Chris Brown but the music speaks for itself. “It’s…

BOEREWORS is as South African as biltong and koeksisters. It’s an essential ingredient in any South African braai. Carmen Niehaus, food editor at YOU and Huisgenoot, has been associated with the Championship Boerewors Competition since 1997 and says boerewors recipes are often indicative of the region in which they originated. For example, a recipe from the Northern Cape will have more lamb in it than one from North West, while recipes originating in KwaZulu-Natal will often be generously spiced. As a judge at this year’s competition, she says tasting the boerewors both raw and cooked is essential because the taste and flavour change with cooking. For sausage to be worthy of the name boerewors, it must meet strict regulations as set out by the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and Disinfectants Act (see…

THE 10-minute drive home seemed to be the longest of her life. She couldn’t believe what her niece had told her on the phone – that her darling son had taken his own life. Linda Sekhosana (45) kept telling herself it couldn’t be true. Why would her gentle, happy child want to take his own life? “I prayed it was a joke, that Charlie and my niece were just looking for attention,” Linda says. “But when I ran into the house I saw my child’s lifeless body on the couch.” There are no words to describe what she felt that day, she says. The pain is still raw a week later. But now in addition to the shock and despair there’s anger – because she discovered that on the morning…

PARROTS are intelligent birds and need loads of stimulation. An easy way to do this is to add something different to their diet now and then, which will not only entertain them but also encourage a healthy appetite. Try these tasty treats. • Almond surprise Introducing new foods doesn’t have to be a painful process.

A PLACE CALLED WINTER By Patrick Gale Tinder Press, R379* For years I’ve heard people raving about Gale’s work, and after reading his latest novel I can see why It begins in a Canadian insane asylum in the early 1900s Moving back in time, Gale explains how Harry Cane landed up there It all boils down to who he loves Harry has been hiding a secret It was the fear of the shame it would cause his family that forced him to flee England to begin a new life as a farmer in a remote part of the newly colonised Canadian prairies It’s here that he’s tested to his limits and finds love and a strength he never knew he possessed as he faces the threat of war, madness and…

‘YOU girls are basically Hef ’s travelling harem, right?” asked the eager reporter, sticking a small silver voice recorder in my face. It was late 2001. Only a few weeks after I’d moved into the mansion, Hef whisked us away on a trip to New York City for his Comedy Central’s Friars Club Roast. I’d never been to New York before. It seemed so surreal – and slightly absurd – that a reporter would be questioning me about my life with Hugh Hefner. “Umm,” I began, through a short laugh. I wasn’t quite sure how to respond. Whose life was I living? Private jets! Luxury hotels! Last month I was barely making rent on a shitty shared apartment. When we arrived in our stretch limo to the event at the…

I completely agree with Moxie (YOU Say, 30 July). Would someone in the bra design industry please do some research on the needs of women who need more support from a bra. The thin straps can cause so much discomfort. UNCOMFORTABLE, CAPE TOWN • Well done to Moxie for speaking up on Cooper’s Droop. Let’s hope we get support sooner than later. We can’t carry on like this for much longer. HOPEFUL, SMS • Moxie has hit the nail on the head. I bought a T-shirt bra the other day and made the mistake of actually wearing it! It fitted perfectly in the changing room but the minute I sat down at my desk it was like being guillotined. All day the underwire cut into my chest. I couldn’t wait…

MOSTofuswouldn’t think of going to a doctor if there was nothing wrong with us. But considering it might save your life you might just want to make that appointment. These days people are increasingly having preventive screening, which tests your risk of developing certain diseases or conditions. One case that made headlines was when actress Angelina Jolie had her breasts and ovaries removed even though she didn’t have cancer. In 2013 doctors told her she had an 87 percent risk of getting breast cancer and earlier this year she learnt she also had a 50 percent chance of developing ovarian cancer. The actress had decided to have the screening tests because her mother, grandmother and an aunt had all died of cancer. She chose the radical step of having of…

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED SO I CAN MOVE ON Q I was sexually abused as a child and although I’ve consulted a number of psychologists I’m still unable to remember all the details of what happened. I feel as if I’m unable to move on until I know exactly what happened and why I didn’t do anything about it at the time. Anonymous, email A It’s not unusual for sexual abuse to be accompanied by dissociation. Dissociation is a defence mechanism whereby a person stops thinking about what’s happening and disappears into their own emotional world in order not to deal with the pain and devastation of reality. It’s likely this is what happened in your case – during the abuse you emotionally dissociated yourself from the incident…

EMERGENCY FUND Set up a special fund for emergencies so you have money available to pay for unforeseen expenses. This prevents you from going into debt when something goes wrong. But remember, it’s important to keep the money in an account where it’s quickly and easily accessible when you need it, says Marlene Budge of Sygnia Asset Management. Don’t for instance invest your emergency savings in a fixed-deposit account because it may take some time before the funds become available. YOUR HOME LOAN Your home loan can be a safe place for your emergency fund. If you pay more than the required monthly instalment on your bond you probably have prepaid funds in your home-loan account. Homeowners with an access bond account can withdraw these funds when needed. If you…

IT WAS the fairytale wedding that captivated the world – an exquisite young noblewoman marrying the heir apparent to the British throne in a bouffant white dress, her magnificent veil held in place by a sparkling tiara. There was little indication then of just how much misery would befall the blushing bride and her gallant groom in the years ahead. Rare new pics released by Buckingham Palace three decades after Prince Charles and Princess Diana wed offer a behind-the-scenes look at the newlyweds in their first moments as husband and wife. The candid images, taken at the reception at Buckingham Palace in July 1981, show a beaming Diana, who’d just turned 20, glowing in her extravagant ivory taffeta gown by Elizabeth Emanuel, which was worth £9 000 (then R18 000)…

TiMO, who’s just released his next single, Find My Way, is not only a great singer and songwriter but also plays the piano, guitar, drums, ukulele and melodica. We sat down with him for a quick chat. What inspired Save Me? The chorus was inspired by a bit of desperation – sitting in my room writing music for four years and trying to write a big song! What’s your real name? Timothy Oude Vrielink So that’s where TiMO ODV comes from? Yes TiMO is short for Timothy and ODV stands for Oude…

• A woman has come forward claiming she had sex with GAVIN ROSSDALE (49) a month before his wedding to singer Gwen Stefani (45) in 2002. The No Doubt singer recently filed for divorce – apparently due to Gavin’s roving eye. The unnamed woman says they did the dirty at a party at the Playboy Mansion after Gavin said he and Gwen “were having problems”. She adds the British rocker was “beautiful and charming” and that he texted her for a month after he’d got married. “I do feel bad for Gwen. He’s just a cheater.” • Apparently KRIS JENNER (59) was behind Kim Kardashian’s recent nude pregnancy selfie. According to an insider the momager forced her 34-year-old daughter to take the controversial pic to squash negative rumours. “Things like…
