IF YOU’RE anything like me, you start panicking a week before Father’s Day, trying to find the perfect gift for your dad. This despite setting several reminders on your phone. I don’t know how I manage to be so undecided. Perhaps it’s because my dad is such a difficult person to shop for. He doesn’t want or need much and is usually satisfied with anything, really. You’d think that makes it easier but it just piles on the pressure. Because what if you could get him a gift that makes him go “wow”? Or one that brings a smile to his face because he loves it so much? After all, if you’re lucky to still have your dad with you, you’d want to give him the world just as he…

So here I am, sitting in the cancer ward. At first I thought the pink roses and ribbons on the information boards were in honour of Mother’s Day but gradually I realised that it’s the other shade of pink. It’s still a pretty colour though, so let’s pretend it’s for Mom’s Day. I’m here for an investigation. The problem might just be diverticulitis – so, investigators, go right ahead! In the morning bright and early, in they troop, a rainbow regiment of bright and eager young men and women of all shades and sizes and persuasions. They gather at the bed next to mine and I watch as they avidly listen to what the general says, offer comments and glow quietly when met with approval. When they come to my…

‘It isn’t what you have or who you are or where you are or what you’re doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It’s what you think about it’ - AMERICAN WRITER DALE CARNEGIE MY SON IS CAUSING US SUCH HEARTACHE Q For years I was a prosperous farmer. Nobody helped me to buy my farm and my wife and I worked hard to make a success of it. In my early fifties I started having health problems – high blood pressure and diabetes – and so our son and his wife recently suggested that they take over the farm so we can retire. We made a verbal agreement that my wife and I would get a percentage of the income from the yearly harvest and that the house we…

BIG BREAK Kaien (19), who hails from Durban, was discovered by rapper Aewon Wolf on Instagram. “I started posting 15-second covers on Instagram when I was in high school just for fun. At the end of Grade 11 I got a DM (direct message) from Aewon saying he thinks my voice is really good and he wants to work with me.” She wanted to finish matric first. “Luckily he said he was willing to wait until I was done with school.” UNAPOLOGETICALLY HERSELF Mansion Mind, Kaien’s seven-track EP released earlier this year, was inspired by her personal struggles. “I feel as if I’ve always been different and I used to struggle with it and sometimes still do, but my message to everyone looking at me right now and in the…

MELINDA Samuels, Margie Symons, Lizie Ngcobo’s four-year-old daughter Chloé, Roelof Badenhorst. Most South Africans don’t know their names but these people are a testament to the power we all hold in our hands: the ability to save a life. Melinda, Margie, Chloé and Roelof are among the hundreds of thousands of South Africans whose lives have been saved by blood transfusions. Thirty years ago, Melinda needed four pints of blood after she’d haemorrhaged during the birth of her first child. Doctors later told her without a blood transfusion she would have died. Margie needed the same amount of blood after being admitted to hospital 10 years ago. She’d sustained serious injuries in a car accident – two broken legs and seven broken ribs that caused a haemopneumothorax (blood and air…

HE’S one of the most-downloaded artists of all time, with 80 major awards to his name. Drake (30) is without a doubt at the top of his rap game. At the recent Billboard Awards the Canadian blew the near-unstoppable Adele out of the water when he broke her record and took home 13 awards from 22 nominations. Having achieved so much, what legacy does he want to leave behind? “I want to be remembered as an emotion-evoking artist,” he says.

‘The queen’s first reaction was “someone has greased the brakes” ’ IT’S hard to believe it’s been 20 years since she died in that Paris tunnel, 20 years since princes William and Harry lost their beloved mom at the age of 37 – and 20 years since the rift between Diana and the royal family was blown wide open. It was an event of such magnitude that people can still recall exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news: Princess Diana, the world’s most famous woman, had been killed in a car crash. And it seems our fascination with the tragedy hasn’t faded with the decades. In the run-up to the anniversary of her death on 31 August 1997 a new documentary, Seven Days…

YOU constantly feel an urgent need to go to the toilet, but when you do, there isn’t the strong stream like you’d expected – just a trickle. And yet it feels as if you haven’t quite emptied your bladder. Sound familiar? If it does, you’re not alone. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infections around, affecting an estimated 150 million people worldwide every year. Women have a 50 percent chance of getting a UTI in their lifetime, experts say, and around 30 to 40 percent of patients have repeat infections. UTIs are caused by bacteria and can affect any part of the urinary system – from the bladder to the kidneys. The majority of these infections are caused by E coli bacteria, says general practitioner Dr Belinda…

SHE’S been around for 75 years, fighting weirdos from other worlds without breaking a sweat, swishing her sword and brandishing her shield while looking drop-dead gorgeous in her boots and itsy-bitsy costume. And now Wonder Woman, the most famous modern heroine of all, is finally making her long overdue silver-screen debut – there’d already been five Batmen, three Hulks, three Supermen and even three Catwomen. While the blink-and-there’s-anotherone superhero and comic-book movies of the past few years have had their share of women in spandex and leather punching, pummelling and ka-powing their way across the screen, Wonder Woman is the first female-led superhero movie in more than a decade – the last was Elektra in 2005. All hail DC Comics’ glorious Amazon warrior! What the movie’s about Long before she…

What a shocker! JIM CARREY (55) may have to face trial over his late girlfriend1 Cathriona White’s suicide.

TAKING THE PLUNGE MY CIRCUMSTANCES changed overnight a month ago when my husband announced that we had to sell our house in order to survive financially. My first reaction was to rush to the bedroom and slam the door. After an hour I realised he was serious. So I came out of the room and dealt with reality. Now, a month later, the house has been sold. My husband is moving to his birthplace, Scotland, and I’m living in a care facility: one bedroom and a shared bathroom. “Oh shock, horror,” I hear you sigh. But extraordinarily enough I’ve survived it all. And I’m actually happy. Letting go of all my worldly possessions wasn’t that difficult in the end. I’m allowed to keep my little dog and that’s all that…

IT’S been four months since Joost van der Westhuizen lost his battle against the disease that ravaged his body and left him a shadow of the strapping rugby hero he once was – but the fight over what he left behind shows no sign of abating. A battle rages over two wills drawn up while Joost was still alive – one that promised everything to his estranged wife, Amor Vittone, and the other that grants her nothing but three TV sets. Amor says she’s baffled and humiliated and willing to fight to the end for what is her right – for her kids’ sake, not hers. As far as she’s concerned, the will she and Joost signed on 13 August 2009 – the same year their marital woes were splashed…

DUCK! A duck waddles into a bar. “What can I get you?” the barman says. “Do you have any grapes?” the duck says. “No, I’m afraid not,” the barman says, surprised at the question. So the duck slowly waddles out of the bar. The next day at the same time the duck waddles into the bar and hops up on a bar stool. “Hi,” the barman says. “What can I get you?” “Do you have any grapes?” “Hey!” the barman says, a little annoyed. “Weren’t you in here yesterday? Look buddy, we don’t have any grapes, okay?” So the duck hops off the stool and waddles out the door. The next day at the same time the duck waddles into the bar. “Do you have any grapes?” he says.

ROCKER AT HEART Thanks to his dad’s taste in music, the young Harry toddled around to the sounds of The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, Queen and Pink Floyd. When the One Direction heart-throb, who hails from Cheshire in the UK, recorded his first solo album it was these early musical influences that inspired him. “I really wanted to make an album that I wanted to listen to,” says Harry (23). “That was the only way I knew I wouldn’t look back on it and regret it. It was more, ‘What do I want to listen to?’ rather than, ‘How do I shake up compared to what’s on radio right now?’” AIR OF MYSTERY He hasn’t had much time for love in between shooting his first film – upcoming World War…

‘If people think me square then I’m happy to be square’ IMAGINE what it must feel like realising that you aren’t like other children. That a very different life lies ahead for you because one day you’ll be king. Many boys would thrilled at the prospect and yet what Prince Charles felt mostly was a sense of dread. “I think it’s something that dawns on you with the most ghastly inexorable sense . . . and slowly you get the idea that you have a certain duty and responsibility,” the British heir to the throne once said when describing the moment he first realised as a little boy that he was heir to the throne. He did, however, experience an unanticipated jolt in the summer of 1958 while watching the…

The winter chill has arrived in South Africa but BRYAN HABANA and his adorable son, TIMOTHY , are all set for a lovely warm summer at the seaside in France. The rugby player extended his contract with French club Toulon, so the Habana family will be in the southern coastal town for the rest of the year. “Ready to go and do some underwater exploring this summer!” Bryan recently captioned a pic on Instagram of himself and Timothy donning their snorkels and hanging over the edge of a pool. “Now just to teach mini-me how to swim.” The 34-year-old Springbok wing also posted a pic of himself and Timothy playing a game of “pie face”.
