IF YOU haven’t yet seen the video of Professor Robert Kelly and his adorable kids interrupting him during an interview, head to you.co.za right now to watch it (search “BBC kid”). I’ve seen it about a bazillion times and I laugh every time the little girl comes dancing into the room, closely followed by her (seriously speedy) baby brother. What is it about those 43 seconds that’s gripped the world? Perhaps it’s the unfettered joy little Marion Kelly displays as she dances into her dad’s study. Or the fact he’s trying his utmost to be serious as he talks to BBC News about what’s happening in South Korean politics as she dawdles at his side. Maybe it’s his wife Jung-A’s mad dash to try to get her offspring out of…

I’d like to share my story with your readers. I’m 34 and was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer when I was 37 weeks pregnant. This was in November last year. I found the lump in October, which is breast cancer awareness month. I was flipping through channels and saw an ad about the importance of self-examination. I did it there and then and discovered a lump. The date of my Caesarean section was brought forward a few days. My daughter’s birth was followed by another biopsy a few minutes after I held her for the first time. My stay in the ward was 50 percent for new baby and feeding, and 50 percent for X-rays, mammograms and scans. My little girl, Kylie, is almost four months old and perfect.…

IT’S hard to tell what was going through her mind when she wrote the controversial tweet that could end her political career (see below right). Had she learnt nothing from her previous social media stuff-ups? Although Western Cape premier Helen Zille has since apologised for the tweet in question, the damage has been done. “Zille has done immense damage to herself and the party she used to lead,” says Thabisi Hoeane, a senior political science lecturer at Unisa. “She’s seriously dented the image she’s always sought to portray as a nonracial politician. “For the DA the setback is even worse because the party has been trying very hard to cultivate this image of a caring party that accommodates all, and here’s Zille making these comments which raise doubts in many…

MILK tart is one of South Africa’s iconic dishes and it comes in so many guises you could fill an entire book with versions of this beloved sweet treat. And that’s just what well-known foodie siblings Mari-Louis Guy and Callie Maritz have done – they’ve brought out a new cookbook that consists only of milk tart recipes. They were surprised at the number of variations around. “Even the smallest adjustment to what is at heart a bland custard yields astonishing changes in texture and taste,” they say in their book The South African Milk Tart Collection. Unfortunately we can’t claim milk tart as uniquely South African because even Hong Kong, France, Britain and Portugal have their favourite kinds. BLOEMFONTEIN ROSE This yields enough pastry for two crusts so you can…

OH CHEESE! A young man isn’t feeling well and goes to see his doctor. “I hate to have to tell you this,” the doctor says after examining him, “but unfortunately you have a highly contagious disease. We’ll have to keep you in quarantine and you’ll only be allowed to eat cheese and polony.” “That’s terrible!” the young man says. “I don’t know if I could handle being in quarantine . . . and what’s with the cheese and polony diet? I’ve never heard of that before.” “It’s not exactly a diet,” the doctor says. “It’s the only food that will fit under the door.” HORSING ABOUT A show jumper is about to take part in a race riding a new horse. The horse’s trainer meets with him beforehand and says,…

SUSPENSE THE GIRL BEFORE  By JP DELANEY, Quercus After suffering a stillbirth, Jane is looking for a sanctuary. She thinks she’s found it when she’s offered the chance to rent a beautiful house in London designed by an enigmatic architect. Tenants must avoid clutter and commit to living in accordance with the strict minimalist principles on which the house was built. Once Jane moves in she discovers that a previous tenant, Emma, died under mysterious circumstances. Past and present collide in this tale of psychological obsession. As weird things start happening, Jane wonders if her own story will be a rerun of what happened to the girl before.

A All ages D Drugs H Horror L Language N Nudity P Prejudice PG Parental guidance S Sex V Violence LISTEN TO THIS! ÷ ( DIVIDE ) ED SHEERAN R 139 * Critics are divided over the British crooner’s third offering but his fans clearly can’t get enough – it debuted at No 1 on the US Billboard 200 album chart. Some critics feel the ginger-haired muso has a “basic, vapid world view”. Perhaps, but if you’re a fan you know what to expect from Teddy’s music – soppy, sentimental tunes. Although beat-heavy first single Shape Of You is a fresh sound for the star, his vocals and guitar still take centre stage. His lyrics address the pitfalls of fame, heartbreak and love, and he gives a nod to his…

‘I was quite a weird kid. I wore big glasses and had a stutter’ HE DOESN’T look like your average pop heart-throb. On the short side, with a messy thatch of ginger hair, Ed Sheeran is about as far away from Justin Bieber and Harry Styles as it’s possible to get – and yet when he has a guitar in his hands, the British superstar is in a league of his own. The music world has never seen anything quite like it. How is it possible that 16 spots on the UK Top 20 chart (including nine of the top 10 and all of the top five) could be held by one artist? Pundits were mystified when it happened recently after Ed (26) released his third album, ÷ (Divide), earlier…

HELPING HAND In January a bleary-eyed Ben was spotted walking in Los Angeles with ELIZABETH WEAVER, founder of Concierge Nursing Care, which offers detox support and sober companion support for patients recovering from addiction. SINCE the beginning of the year they’ve been at his side, watching over him as diligently as his bodyguards. The first time one was spotted with him was in January, Then when BEN AFFLECK attended the Oscars in February he was once again accompanied by a mystery man with whom he kept having long whispered conversations. Why did it seem as though Ben (44) was constantly being chaperoned? All the pieces fell into place recently when the actor announced he’s been undergoing treatment for alcohol addiction. The people who’ve been constantly at his side are sobriety…

Like fellow Victoria’s Secret angel Candice Swanepoel (HYH, 23 March), Namibian beauty BEHATI PRINSLOO (27) recently showed off her model figure after giving birth five months ago. Behati, who’s married to Maroon 5’s Adam Levine (38), clearly enjoys being a mom and taking selfies – also sharing a pic of her and daughter DUSTY ROSE’s ankle bracelets.

HOW TO USE THEM Brown onions are the all-purpose kind we use most often. They have a good balance of pungent and sweet flavours, and get sweeter the longer you cook them. If you find the taste too strong when using them raw, soak them in water first. Red onions are great for adding colour to a dish. They have a mild flavour and are often used in salads and salsas. You can soak them as above when using them raw. Spring onions have a less intense flavour than brown onions. They’re often used in Asian dishes in combination with soy sauce, ginger, garlic and chilli, or in Mexican dishes with avocado, lime juice, sour cream and fresh tomato. Leeks have a sweet, delicate flavour and look elegant in dishes…

TAURUS APRIL 20 – MAY 20 Networking Mercury moves into your sign this week, setting the scene for a period of connecting with others, whether to exchange ideas and compare concepts or to get out and about to socialise. Try to keep an open mind and be receptive to the ideas of those around you, especially if you’re a Taurus with fixed notions. It might currently be hard to be of flexible mind, but rigidity is bound to be self-sabotaging.

THE WORLD IS YOURS AKA The rapper’s latest banging tune is taking over radio waves and burning up charts around the country. The video isn’t too bad either – it was shot in Thailand while he was there on a bae-cation with his love, Bonang Matheba. Chilling on the beach with his lady, clubbing, popping bottles of champers . . . It’s safe to say the world is AKA’s oyster. The vid has already clocked up more than 800 000 YouTube views since its release last month. It’s not the first time Bonang has appeared in an AKA music video – she had a cameo in the video for Jealousy in 2013. THROW YOU DOWN RYKI Ryki exploded onto the local music scene last year with her infectious Aewon Wolf-assisted…

FIRST came the mirror selfies, then came the slimmed-down red-carpet appearances – then came the big reveal. For the past few months Gabourey Sidibe has slowly been teasing her fans with glimpses of her new slimmed-down look. And now the Precious star is finally speaking out about it too, revealing in her memoir that she had secret surgery last year to help shed the weight that was threatening her life. In her recently published memoir, This Is Just My Face: Try Not To Stare, the actress opens up for the first time about the life-changing decision to undergo laparoscopic bariatric surgery – a drastic procedure that involves removing a portion of the stomach or restricting it with a gastric band to reduce the amount of food it can hold. It…

‘The movie offers an authentic slice of life of the community of Chatsworth’ THEY’RE sworn enemies, rivals to the end, neighbours who’d love nothing more than to see the back of each other. There’s nobody they love to loathe more and there’s precious little in the world that could lead to a thaw in their frosty relationship. Until they find out their children have fallen in love. For Shanti Naidoo and Jennifer Kandasamy this is a problem of epic proportions and one that calls for an intervention that requires teamwork. They hatch an outrageous plan to break up their offsprings’ relationship – with often hilarious results. The antics of the two Durban aunties have had South Africans in stitches since Keeping Up With The Kandasamys opened in movie theatres recently.…

JOHNNY DEPP “His drug and alcohol abuse has in creased dramatically in recent years,” ex-wife Amber Heard (30) says. He apparently spends $30 000 (almost R390 000) on wine every month.

HOPE RISES FROM THE ASHES WITH the devastating fires in Hout Bay, Cape Town, recently it was brought to light once more how most people want to live in peace in our country. With all the ongoing racist problems of the past few months I really believe it’s a minority of blacks and whites who cause all the problems. I truly believe that on the whole we all want to live in peace with one another and the fires have shown that. So many people came forward to offer their assistance in amazing ways and it shows how they want to help. Oh, for the day that we can live in harmony. If each one of us makes the decision to show love to everyone no matter what their colour…

THEY ticked all the boxes: murmuring words of sympathy to the disabled; accepting flowers from kids with indulgent smiles; making small talk at dinner; and marvelling at works of art in one of the city’s prized museums. As a two-day charm offensive intended to ease the ire at Brexit, the mission was a success. The visit also marked Prince William’s first official royal tour of duty to Paris since his mother, Princess Diana, died in the city. And making it all the more poignant is the fact that this year marks the 20th anniversary of Diana’s death aged 36 in that catastrophic car crash in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel on 31 August 1997. Yet the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s whirlwind tour of the City of Lights is only…

BEAUTY comes from within, the saying goes – and that’s never been truer than when you consider this: what you put into your body reflects on your skin. Too much junk food wreaks havoc on your complexion; fresh fruit and vegetables give you the kind of glow that shouts health and vitality. It’s not for nothing your mom used to nag you about eating your greens – because beauty really is skin-deep when it comes to healthy eating. Foods such as carrots, apricots, mangos, kale and spinach boost the tone and appearance of your skin, says Kim Hofmann, a registered dietician from Cape Town. Forget about you are what you eat – what you eat is how you look! TIPS FOR BETTER-LOOKING SKIN Limit or avoid processed food as it…

‘Regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life’ – U.S. WRITER MAYA ANGELOU I WISH I COULD GET RID OF MY WIFE Q My wife is a terrible woman and I’ve hated her for many years. She has demeaned me, robbed me of my self-esteem, emotionally abused me and used me. I’m so angry I’ve even thought about how I could get rid of her and finally get my revenge. For years she’s forced me to stay with her by also abusing the children – I didn’t leave because I knew I was the only one who could protect them. Now that they’ve left home she tells me that if I leave I will walk out of our home with nothing to…

1 What happens should I get divorced or die? Parents are their kids’ natural guardians and remain so even if they divorce – unless a court rules otherwise, says Charles Evison of Legacy Fiduciary Services and Estate Planning. If one parent dies, the other becomes the sole guardian. 2 Is my will legal? It must be signed by two witnesses who have no interest in your financial affairs. You and the witnesses must sign each page. People named in your will, trustees and the executor of your will aren’t allowed to sign. 3 What financial information do I need for a will? To be able to make informed decisions, get all your financial documents together: your ID, bank accounts, investment and retirement funds, assets such as your house and car…

Nintendo’s latest gaming console has just dropped, and the numbers speak for themselves – 1,5 million units sold in one week! The Nintendo Switch is probably the most versatile gaming package yet. It comes with a tablet-like main unit with detachable Joy-Con controllers, so the Switch can transform from a TV gaming console to a portable device with a few clicks. Not many Switch games have been released so far, but The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild has drawn in nostalgic fans of the classic in droves. Besides Zelda and the 1-2-Switch – which turns Joy-Cons into wands, guns or samurai swords for hilarious two-player competitions – there’s not a lot of gaming variety out yet so hardcore gamers are likely to get bored quickly, but youngsters will…

MAKING IT HAPPEN It was his mom, Karen (69), who pushed the British singer to turn his dreams of a career in music into reality. After finishing school Jason “Jay” Kay busked his way around London, dealing dagga to make extra money so he could put together demo tapes. Then Karen, a jazz singer who’d raised him as a single mom, sat him down for a serious talk. “She said, ‘You know, you’re not going to get there singing at the end of a bloody Tube tunnel all day hoping somebody might come along and discover you. You’ve got to make it happen yourself.’ ” Jay took it to heart and formed acid jazz band Jamiroquai in 1992; he’s the only original member still in the band. A SONG FOR…

THE 2016/17 KFC Mini-Cricket Kids vs Proteas Tour came to an exciting end when the kids outplayed the Proteas for the second week in a row to claim a 2-2 series result. After winning the first two games and going down to the KFC Mini-Cricket Kids in game three, the Proteas travelled to the famous Khaya Majola Oval in Mthatha to take on the kids in the Tour decider. Stellar fielding and line-and-length bowling from the kids was the hallmark of the first innings and the Proteas found runs hard to come by. Captain on the day, batsman Temba Bavuma, along with Eastern Cape local boy Jon-Jon Smuts, did their best to keep the runs ticking over. In the end the Proteas were able to set the kids a target…

LAST week we looked at how birds’ feathers keep them warm and dry. This week we look at the nests they live in and why some migrate every year. Types and functions of nests The most important function of a nest is to protect a bird, and especially its eggs, against predators and the weather. Birds lay their eggs in their nest. After the chicks have hatched they stay in the nest until they’re able to venture out. Nests built in trees are often the safest. This is why birds that make their nests on the ground do so either under plants or bushes to hide them, or their nests are camouflaged to blend in with the ground. Nests differ in terms of shape and building method. Here are some…

Seven years ago diabetes wasn’t even in the top 10, but it has rocketed up the danger list – a surge directly linked to a poor diet and obesity. In SA, 70 percent of adult women are overweight or obese. Type 2 diabetes usually manifests later in life when patients develop a resistance to the hormone insulin which regulates glucose levels. High glucose levels damage blood vessels, causing strokes, heart attacks, blindness and kidney failure. Treatment includes oral medication and injections. Lifestyle changes should include a switch to a healthy no-sugar diet and regular exercise. Weight-loss surgery, as in Gabourey’s case, is an option too. SOURCES: DAILYMAVERICK.CO.ZA, DIABETES.CO.UK…

NICOLE SCHERZINGER (38) says she’s a pussycat in the love department but a lion when it comes to the rest of her life. “I’m a hopeless romantic.
