Innholdsfortegnelse for 24-Aug-17 i You South Africa

WHEN I first heard about Future Park, the amazing new exhibition YOU is bringing to South Africa, I didn’t quite get it. You draw something on a page and it comes to life on a giant screen? You stand in one spot and all kinds of wonderful creatures gather around you and scatter when you move? You reach out to a moving animal on a wall and it reacts to your touch? But when I saw the videos of the various parts of the exhibition, I could see exactly how it happens – and my jaw dropped. Seriously, you can’t afford to miss this one (see more on page 86). It’s a first for South Africa and it’s a place where your imagination can run wild. The creators call it…

‘The divorce is off. They haven’t done anything to move it forward in several months’ IS THIS the real life? Is this just fantasy? Apologies to Queen and their Bohemian Rhapsody, but these lines have been zipping around our heads ever since the news emerged that love might, in fact, not be dead after all. Seems Hollywood’s most celebrated couple since Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton could well be on the path to reconciliation. Which means the romantics among us can place our heart-shaped pillows back on our beds with pride and start believing in Valentine’s Day again. Of course, cynics will tell us to hold our horses. They’ll point out that Angelina Jolie practically loathed Brad Pitt when she dumped him after his booze-fuelled meltdown on the plane in…

CARDI NOTES A cardigan is a soft alternative to a structured jacket, making it an ideal backdrop for accessories such as scarves and jewellery. This pattern lends itself to many looks. The body is knitted in one piece, so it doesn’t get any easier. If you’re a crocheter, finishing the edges with a scallop pattern will give the garment a romantic finish. The possibilities are endless. ABBREVIATIONS beg – begin(ning) foll –following g st – garter stitch (knit every row) inc – increase RS – right side st(s) – stitch(es) WS – wrong side THIS cardigan with its short rolled-up sleeves is the ideal project for beginners. But it’s also a stalwart for knitters who love doing their own thing with a basic pattern. MEASUREMENTS There are 3 sizes: S…

RECYCLE SOAP Don’t throw old soap away. Use it to make new cakes of soap which will beautify your bathroom and make great gifts. YOU’LL NEED Old bits of soap, a polystyrene cup (or any microwaveable container) and a knife. METHOD Chop the soap into pieces – the smaller the better. Put it in the cup, then add enough water to cover it. Microwave for about 30 seconds but keep a close eye on things. As soon as you see the soap rising out of the cup, turn the microwave off. Add essential oils to scent the soap and add seeds for texture. Or add a drop or two of food colouring to change the hue. Put the soap mixture into a mould of your choice and leave until the…

LISTEN TO THIS! JUNGLE RULES By French Montana R128* We expected big things from the Moroccan-American rapper’s second album after we heard the Swae Lee-assisted first single, the smash hit Unforgettable. One of French’s biggest strengths is his A-list collaborations and Jungle Rules features the likes of The Weeknd, Travis Scott and Future, even though his guests sometimes overshadow him. Yet French mostly holds his own and this album has something for everyone, from trap to R&B, hip-hop and dancehall. Highlights include the Pharrell Williams-assisted banger Bring Dem Things.…

GOING IT ALONE Liam (23) has released two solo singles since One Direction went on hiatus last year – his infectious debut single, Strip That Down featuring Quavo, and the club banger Get Low with Zedd. And both tunes are heating up charts! SA CONNECTION He’s pals with South African YouTube star Caspar Lee (23). The guys met while out clubbing years ago and are still pals. Liam even appeared in one of Caspar’s recent YouTube videos. LIVING THE DREAM “It’s weird waking up every day and literally living out your dream,” the British pop star says of life with his girlfriend, singer and X Factor judge Cheryl Tweedy (formerly Fernandez-Versini), and their five-month-old son, Bear. “I have the most beautiful girlfriend in the whole world. She’s absolutely amazing. We’re…

WHEN he stops to put petrol in his car he always gives the attendant a big, friendly handshake. For David Masilela it’s not a case of being polite – it goes much deeper than that. Today he’s a respected lawyer with a few degrees under his belt and a thriving legal practice in Pretoria, but he knows what it’s like to stand on a forecourt, pumping petrol rain or shine. Because for eight long years this is what David (43) had to do while it felt as if his life was in limbo and his dreams were on permanent hold. After finishing school in 1994 he’d wanted to study law but as one of 11 children in a household where there was only one breadwinner – his father, Modjadji (now…

POOR BRITNEY SPEARS. The singer’s return to her Las Vegas residency after a summer break got off to a scary start when a fan rushed the stage. According to video footage, the 35-year-old had just finished performing (You Drive Me) Crazy when the man – later identified as JESSE WEBB (37) – climbed onto the stage and tried to get her attention. Her quick-thinking dancers immediately encircled him before he was subdued by security staff. Britney, who can be heard asking if he has a gun (he didn’t have), was quickly led off the stage. As Webb was taken away the crowd could be heard chanting, “A-hole!” According to law enforcement officials Webb – who was arrested for trespassing – had been unruly throughout the performance.…

Are KATY PERRY (32) and Orlando Bloom (40) getting back together? The pair, who broke up in March after a 10-month romance, were recently seen cuddling at an Ed Sheeran concert in Los Angeles. While the pop star and the actor tried to go incognito by wearing baseball caps and bomber jackets, a few eagle-eyed concertgoers were quick to spot the famous exes. “They definitely seemed like they were back together,” a witness dished. “She sat on his lap most of the night and they shared kisses.” Congrats to actors NIKKI REED (29) and Ian Somerhalder (38) on the birth of their daughter, Bodhi Soleil Reed Somerhalder (yup, she joins the club of weird celebrity baby names). But don’t expect to hear too much from the pair now they have…

INSTA-ENVY I recently read about the law of attraction. It can be motivational for you to practise being grateful and being happy with your life so you can attract better. But as soon as I finished reading on the topic, I indulged in my daily dose of Instagram and all that I’d read just went out the window. It’s challenging because we constantly compete with one another over the things we have and what we can afford on this social network. How do you begin a life of gratitude when the world is always saying if you’re not driving a BMW you’re not good enough. Don’t get me wrong, social media is beautiful but it does somehow perpetuate the illusion of people thinking other people’s lives are better than their…

Bonang Matheba and Lerato Kganyago, your shoes are beautiful (YOU, 10 August) but spare a thought for those who go to school with broken shoes or shoes that are too small and those who have to go barefoot. NOT IMPRESSED, KZN To Davy (Dr Louise, 10 August), I had a sister who was 11 when I was six months old. She was coming back from Sunday school and was in an accident and died from her injuries. We don’t know why but God knows best. GLENDA, SMS I’m a 33-year-old woman with three sisters. I feel that my mother doesn’t love me. If I have a problem with my sisters, she pays me no attention. But if my older sister has problems, my mother jumps as high as she can.…

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green The actors filed for divorce in 2015, citing irreconcilable differences, even though she was pregnant with baby No 3. But after “working hard to figure out their marriage things are great”, a friend says. Megan and Brian have three boys – Noah (4), Bodhi (3) and Journey (1). Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas It seemed all over for the Oscar-winning actors in 2013 but “after a little bump in the road”, as he put it, they were back on again. “We worked things out,” Michael said. “If both people want to make it better, you can do it.” They have a son, Dylan (17), and a daughter, Carys (14). Pink and Carey Hart No one knows a relationship seesaw quite like these two. The…

IT’S an all-too-familiar sight in towns and cities around South Africa, where nearly 50% of households are run by single mothers: an anxious young mother sitting outside the courtroom, waiting for her child’s father to pitch up for a maintenance hearing. The mother we’re talking to today saw her child’s father spend a fortnight in prison earlier this year for not attending a maintenance hearing and, she claims, it’s been a year since he’s paid any maintenance for their three-year-old. But while Gugu Keswa’s struggle might be common, her child’s lineage isn’t. Her little girl is Nelson Mandela’s great-granddaughter. And her father is Mbuso Mandela – son of Madiba’s son Makgatho, who passed away in 2005. Gugu (29) and Mbuso (26) have been at each other’s throats over child support…

‘Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple’– AMERICAN CHILDREN’S AUTHOR DR SEUSS HE’S A PARAPLEGIC NOW AND I CAN ’ T COPE Q My husband had a car accident a year ago and is now a paraplegic. Although he’s been incredibly brave and does his best to cope with it day to day, I’m finding it difficult to deal with. He’s no longer able to have voluntary erections and can no longer do all the physical things he used to do, such as running, playing golf, swimming and so on. It’s almost as if I now have another child (my husband and I have one child). The insurance claim has gone on forever with no resolution, which means I have to be his primary caregiver. I find…

TEARS AHEAD An office manager is briefing his workers on an upcoming project. “This won’t be something we can finish off quickly,” he says. “It’s like an onion. It has layers that we’ll have to peel away one by one.” “Yes,” a staff member mutters, “and it will make us cry a lot.” SHIRTY DEAL What my girlfriend thought of our first four dates: 1 Nice shirt. 2 Wow, another nice shirt. 3 Okay, that first shirt again. 4 He has two shirts. BY THE NUMBERS A couple go to an upmarket restaurant. After perusing the menu the man tells the waiter, “I’ll have the 200.” “Umm dear,” his wife whispers, “that’s the price, not the meal number.” “Oh,” he says. “In that case I’ll have the 100.” LOOKING .…

MARKED FOR REVENGE By EMELIE SCHEPP, HarperCollins The Swedish author delivers a fast-paced, action-packed punch in this follow-up to Marked for Life. Public prosecutor Jana Berzelius once again takes centre stage when a Thai girl is found dead with drugs in her stomach. The girl is somehow linked to Jana’s complicated past and one revelation after another unfolds in a clever, well-written way. The private lives of the book’s other characters provide great depth and you can’t wait to see what happens to them. There’s backstabbing, bitchiness and messy relationships amid the battle against whatever dark forces are ruling Sweden. But it’s Jana’s personal life that’s the most intriguing of all. She’s more than capable of killing a man in cold blood and it’s fascinating to see how she uncovers…

THE Israeli-born singer (24) and former Capetonian, now based in Los Angeles, is making waves locally with his track Bad Reputation featuring Jimmy Nevis. How did the collaboration come about? Bad Reputation is a true story, about a girl who didn’t want to give me a chance to get close to her! She judged me before she even got to know me. When my SA team heard Bad Reputation, they immediately sent me links to Jimmy’s work suggesting we should feature him on the song. We got connected and instantly vibed. Where was it recorded? I recorded the song in New York at Platinum Studios where artist like Miguel, Lady Gaga, Chris Brown and Desiigner have worked. And Jimmy recorded his verse in Cape Town. We shot the music video…

SALT is a natural mineral made of two elements, sodium and chloride. It comes mainly from seawater and halite or rock salt that’s found underground. Salt is necessary for animal life because it helps maintain the right balance of fluid in he body, helps muscles and nerves to funcion properly and regulates blood pressure. Because germs can’t live in salt it’s been used to preserve food, especially meat, for thousands of years. This way people could store food so they’d have enough to eat in winter and take food with them when they travelled long distances. Because salt was difficult to obtain it became valuable and was even used as money. “Salary” comes from the Latin word “salarium” – derived from “sal” or salt. This was the sum given to…

‘It’s terrible to see her in such a vulnerable state’ SHE exploded onto the music scene with a song so hauntingly beautiful it made her one of pop’s most enduring icons. Yet the tears that rolled down her cheeks spoke volumes of her inner suffering – and it’s that pain that now tragically seems to be consuming her. The recent video Sinéad O’Connor posted on Facebook lays her private torture bare for the world to see. “I’m fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting,” the Irish singer says, sobbing throughout the 12-minute clip. “Like all the millions and millions I know I’m one of, [I’m fighting] to stay alive every day.” The video, which she filmed while alone in a motel room “somewhere in the a**e end of New Jersey” in the USA,…

CAST ADRIFT LET me take you on a trip of the retrenched. You’ve been cruising on this secure, comfortable ship for many years, giving no thought to “what if ”, until the R word makes you its next victim. As you leave your ship and take the walk of shame down the plank of retrenchment into the sea of uncertainty, you don’t know what the long and tiring journey will bring. You hit the water and are surprised that it doesn’t feel too awful. You start treading water and it doesn’t feel that bad. You’re going to make it. All you need is another vessel. Your confidence is short-lived as the waves of fear start knocking you around, slowly at first but building into huge rushes that push you under…

A RAPE allegation; 783 charges of, among other things, corruption; cronies in dodgy places; a love child; a fire pool – it seems nothing, no matter how scandalous, has been enough to unseat Jacob Zuma. Disgrace and dishonour have followed the president like a stray dog even before he took the reins of power back in 2009 and the country has suffered catastrophically as a consequence. Hopes were high that the tide had turned significantly enough to boot him out of the hot seat during the latest no-confidence debate. Yet, although the vote was close, he survived that too and lives to fight another day. A timeline of his controversies shows the breathtaking scandals that have characterised his command. 2004 SHAIK, RATTLE AND ROLL Rumours about Zuma’s relationship with his…

WHETHER you’re 15 or 55, it pays to be financially fit. These are the top things you should know and master so you’re never in a vulnerable financial position. 1 Know what policies you have. Chances are you already have some form of cover through your employer – for example, many companies provide group life cover. You should also already be contributing to the unemployment insurance fund (UIF). Ask your HR department about your coverage: how much and under which circumstances it’s paid out. Sometimes parents take out policies on their children’s behalf and then forget about it. With your permission an adviser can contact insurance companies on your behalf to find out what policies are in your name. 2 See a financial planner. Pay an expert to give you…
