I ALWAYS automatically refuse to hand over my ID number when asked for it on any type of form. Unless you’re someone from Sars, my insurance company or my medical aid, there’s absolutely no need for you to have that info. Paranoid? Perhaps. But I’d rather be safe than sorry, especially when I read stories like that of Yolandé le Grange. Her ID number has allegedly been used in several dodgy transactions and she’s had charges laid against her by people who accuse her of stealing their money. ID fraud is unfortunately something we should all be aware of. That combination of digits is like a magic access code to so many things and in the wrong hands can do so much harm. Read Yolandé’s sobering story on page 14.…

I’ve been a blood donor for many years and I’ve donated 98 pints. Recently I became concerned when I realised I hadn’t received an SMS to remind me to donate blood. I checked on my cellphone and saw the last time I donated was in August 2016. One Friday afternoon in January I went to the South African National Blood Service (SANBS). The nurse looked on her computer and told me they weren’t able to take my blood. There was a black mark against my name. She couldn’t say why but said she’d contact the head office and they’d contact me. On the Monday I received a call at work from another nurse at SANBS. I couldn’t hear her clearly but I did hear something about an STD. I gave…

SHE was the most photographed woman in the world, an icon of 20th-century glamour. From her demure “Shy Di” days as the future king of England’s young fiancée to the provocative, confident era of the sophisticated divorcee, Princess Diana always wore her heart on her sleeve, her clothes reflecting the tumultuous changes in her personal circumstances. Who can forget the achingly innocent young nursery-school worker, posing for cameras, her legs backlit by sunlight and visible through her skirt? A very different Diana emerged after her divorce, the sleek modern woman as captured so memorably by Mario Testino in a breathtaking series of black-and-white portraits. Now, nearly 20 years after her untimely death in a Parisian tunnel, Princess Diana’s wardrobe is the subject of a major new exhibition on display in…

Keep your ID book and passport in a safe place when you don’t need them. Carry them with you only when absolutely necessary, says Roy Retief, operational manager of the South African Fraud Prevention Services (SAFPS). Shred all documents containing personal information such as your ID number before you discard them. When your bank or anyone else phones you and requests your ID number, ask them to give you their phone number so you can go through the switchboard and verify you’re dealing with a legitimate source. What do you do if someone has stolen your identity? Victims of identity theft usually discover this only when they’re contacted by debt collectors about an account or loan they know nothing about. If this happens, you have to lay a fraud charge…

THEY can’t do many of the things most new parents do with their kids. They can’t take them to the park or the zoo, they can’t have friends over or even play with their young sons in their garden. The only safe space for the little Roodt brothers is inside their home in Heidelberg, Gauteng, because both Ruben (2) and Ruan (eight months) were born without an immune system and even everyday germs could be a death sentence. Their mom, Katinka, greets us at the door. “I just need to ask if any of you are sick or have been in contact with anyone who’s sick?” she asks good-naturedly. Katinka and her husband, Pieter, need to prevent any potentially harmful germs from coming into their home. She sprays our hands…

WHY DON’T ANY OF MY RELATIONSHIPS LAST? Q My life is a mess. I got divorced two years ago because my husband fell in love with someone else and since then I’ve been in several relationships because I don’t like to be alone. But things haven’t worked out with any of the men I’ve been involved with. Every time the guy moves in with me things are fine for a month or two. Then we have a fight and he moves out. I have a young daughter and she’s becoming confused because she just gets used to my new partner and then he leaves. And after a while there’s another one. I don’t seem to be able to control myself as I tend to fall in love really quickly and…

THE DOUBLE WISH A man is walking on the beach when he trips over something half-buried in the sand. He looks down and sees it’s an old lamp. The next moment a genie pops out. “Even though you kicked me, I’m still obliged to give you three wishes,” the genie says. “But because of what you did, I’ll also give twice of whatever you wish for to the person you hate the most – your boss.” The man agrees and makes his first wish. “I want lots of money,” he says. Instantly R1 million appears in his bank account, while R2 million appears in his boss’ account. For his second wish the man asks for a few sports cars. Instantly a Lamborghini, a Ferrari and a Porsche appear in his…

The Los Angeles-based muso makes the leap from hit songwriter to pop diva with her debut solo single, Issues. 1 music Julia (23 industry ) is no stranger – she’s clocked to the up 12 entries on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart over the past few years as co-writer, including smash hits such as Justin Bieber’s Sorry, Selena Gomez’s Hands To Myself and Good For You and Gwen Stefani’s Used To Love You. 2 and She it released ’s already Issues making in January waves on the charts.

It’s like living with a split screen: on the left side is the present, on the right is a constantly rolling reel of memories IF YOU ask Jill Price to remember any day of her life, she can come up with an answer in a heartbeat. What was she doing on 29 August 1980? “It was a Friday, I went to Palm Springs with my friends, twins Nina and Michelle, and their family,” she says. “And before we went to Palm Springs, we went to get them bikini waxes. They were screaming through the whole thing.” Price was 14 years old at the time. Jill was born on 30 December 1965 in New York City. Her first clear memories start from around the age of 18 months. Back then, she…

WHEN he heard his father had gone on a shooting spree and had shot his half-brother in the face, he wasn’t really surprised. Shocked, yes – and upset. But not surprised. This was, after all, the man who’d killed his mother. “Mr Nzimande” is how McIntosh Pole-la refers to his father. “He’s a father only biologically, but that’s where it ends,” the former Hawks spokesperson says. He even changed his name because he wanted to distance himself from the man he describes in his memoir as “that monster”. The news that his 65-year-old father had opened fire on his second wife, Thulisile, and their three children at their smallholding in Ladysmith in KwaZulu-Natal brought all the painful memories back. His sister, Zinhle, called him to tell him what had happened.…

Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) occurs in 1 in 50 000 to 100 000 births, says Joburg-based immunologist Dr Roz Rabie. “This means we can estimate that in South Africa about 500 to 1 000 children are born with it every year.” SCID is the result of a genetic mutation making sufferers susceptible to infections. Babies born with SCID usually recover after a bone marrow transplant, which essentially gives them an almost “new” immune system. The survival rate following a bone marrow transplant is 60 to 70 percent. “The sooner the transplant occurs, the better the result,” Dr Rabie says. “There’s a 96 percent survival rate if the transplant occurs before three and a half months of age.” If the child doesn’t receive this transplant, they usually don’t live past the…

When it comes to tackling your financial goals, whatever they might be, there’s no time like the present – SUZE ORMAN, INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL EXPERT WHAT IS IT? Provisional tax is income tax for people who don’t have tax deducted from their salary every month. Instead, the tax payments are spread out over the tax year. They have to make two compulsory payments to the SA Revenue Service (Sars) during the tax year to avoid having to make one huge payment at the end of the year. Taxpayers can choose to make a third payment in one tax year. WHO PAYS IT? Firstly, people whose income isn’t a fixed salary. Secondly, those who get an additional income from a source other than their fixed salary. This might include payments from a…

1 He’s become synonymous with Wolverine but Hugh Jackman wasn’t the first choice for the role. He was 29 and was called in at the last minute after Gladiator star Russell Crowe declined and Taken 3 star Dougray Scott pulled out. 2 When Len Wein, author of the original comic book, was asked to create a superhero to help to boost Marvel’s sales in Canada he decided to base his new creation on an animal indigenous to the country and narrowed it down to two options: the wolverine and the badger. 3 More than 700 claw blades were used by Hugh and his stunt doubles during the filming of the first X-Men film in 2000. Adamantium is a fictional metal alloy that’s meant to be virtually indestructible. 4 He might…

SHE believes there’s nothing better in life than being a parent. So she became a surrogate mother to give infertile couples the chance to be parents too. Zelda Cloete has given birth to seven babies – only two of them her own. And bringing them into the world has been the proudest moments of her life, she says. But Zelda (42) can’t help wondering if the toll it’s taken on her health is worth it. She’s had three surrogate pregnancies and each of them brought her a deep sense of joy. “Being a surrogate mom makes you an angel,” she says. “But after my last C-section I did wonder: was it a big mistake, the choices I made?” Zelda’s list of ailments is long. She’s in constant pain and takes…

‘CHRIS THREATENED TO KILL ME’ THINGS have become nasty between KARRUECHE TRAN (28) and CHRIS BROWN (27). The actress and model says the singer has been stalking her and threatening to kill her. In light of her accusations, Karrueche has been granted a temporary restraining order, which requires her ex-boyfriend to stay at least 100 yards (about 90 m) away from her. In new legal documents she says the Body On Me singer has “threatened to kill me to others, threatened me via text messages and threatened to harass my friends”. “Around the second week of February he told a few people he was going to kill me. He said if no one else can have me then he’s gonna ‘take me out’,” she says in the documents. “I have…

THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS MY GRANDMOTHER would like to share her special story with your readers: “I was sitting in my car watching the waves at Melkbosstrand [Western Cape], thinking about my late husband, brother and brother-in-law. They all passed away in January. Thinking of the past brought me to tears. In fact I was sobbing – the ugly kind. A lovely gentleman and his son, Kia, came to ask if I was alright. We then chatted for a while and realised we both came from the south of Johannesburg and his wife went to school in the street I grew up in. It was refreshing talking about the good old days again. “I’d like to say thank you to this lovely gentleman for comforting me and taking the time…

‘It rang a bell . . . I remembered that I’d also received an email like that’ WHENEVER her cellphone rings her heart sinks. Will it be someone in tears or another irate person swearing at her and accusing her of being a lying scumbag? Even worse is when furious people pitch up at her door to confront her. The past three years have been pure hell for Yolandé le Grange (40), she tells us. Her ID landed in the wrong hands and she’s now frequently threatened with legal action and accused of conning people out of their hard-earned savings. Her name often crops up on social media in posts warning people to be on the lookout for “this thieving woman”. She was also recently named in a story on…

Remember, Airbnbs aren’t hotels, so don’t expect anything over and above your accommodation. Read as many reviews about your guests or host as you can and insist that payment happens through Airbnb’s payment system. Look out for a green tick next to guests’ or hosts’ names because this means they are verified and Airbnb has their details, such as a copy of their ID documents. If you’re a host, consider using the insurance option the website offers in case your premises are damaged. And remember, as with any source of income, Airbnb earnings have to be declared on your income tax return.…

1 Holding nails while hammering them can be risky. Use a clothes peg to secure the nail in place and keep your fingertips safe from harm. 2 The next time you’re drilling a small hole, place a sticky note directly under the drill and fold it upwards. This will catch most of the dust and keep the floor clean. 3 Prepping for a big paint job only to find your old brushes are rigid with dry paint? Boil them in vinegar. Hot vinegar will disperse the paint, leaving the bristles soft and ready for use. 4 Wrap a rubber band around the paint tin lengthways and wipe excess paint from the brush against the band – this keeps paint from running down the sides of the tin onto the floor.…

1 Is it my problem if an accountant fills the form in incorrectly? It’s the taxpayer’s responsibility to make an honest submission and you’d be liable for any outstanding expenses and fines. Use a tax practitioner who’s registered with Sars. Its registration numbers are available on the eFiling website. 2 When must a third payment be made? A third payment is voluntary and must be made before 30 September. 3 Does Sars provide a suggested estimate on the form? Yes, and if you change it and your estimate is too low, you’d be liable for any fines or interest, Anél di Giannatale of Ghias Accounting Services warns. 4 Where can I get my tax number? From your nearest Sars branch (you’d have to show your ID); on eFiling if you’re…

R119* Set during the American Civil War, this historical film moves from the battlefield to the swamps of the Mississippi as Confederate army medic Newton Knight (Matthew McConaughey) joins fellow deserters and runaway slaves, including Moses (an excellent Mahershala Ali) and Rachel (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), to rebel against the Confederates.

ALL he got was 20 minutes. It’s the total time Mahershala Ali is on screen in Moonlight, but he made every moment count. His mesmerising performance as a soft-hearted drug dealer has earned him glowing reviews and around 29 accolades, including an Oscar for best supporting actor (a first for a Muslim actor), a Critics’ Choice Award and Screen Actors Guild award – that’s more than one a minute! Little wonder his tongue-twister of a name is on everyone’s lips.
