I’VE been reading Jacques Pauw’s The President’s Keepers for most of the weekend and it feels as if my jaw was permanently on the floor. What a read! We spoke to Jacques for our previous issue and as I was reading the book I thought again of how brave he is to do what he’s done. The remarkable story of how several state institutions unravelled in recent years is one every South African should know about. That said, I was horrified when a PDF version of the book was shared on WhatsApp and social media. Although I think it’s important for everyone to read this book, it’s not cool not to pay for it. It’s the same as people who read magazines in a queue at the supermarket, then put…

‘Kids coming out on a conveyor belt out of that Kate Middleton’ SHE has yet to put a foot wrong – literally and figuratively. She’s beloved in Britain and celebrated abroad, a regal regular on magazine covers and an asset to the famous family she’s wed into. Six years into her marriage to Prince William, the Duchess of Cambridge hasn’t been embroiled in the vaguest whiff of scandal. To crown it all she’s always impeccably turned out, from the top of her glossy head to the tips of her pedicured feet. And yet alas, poor Kate. Heavy is the head that wears the fascinator, for it will be picked apart in some way, no matter how decorous or dazzling it may be. Because, for all the adulation she commands, there…

WHEN she was growing up, instead of cops and robbers she and her sisters would play a game they called “capitalists and cadres”. They would chase each other around cradling imaginary AK-47s in their arms. Sisonke Msimang says her upbringing was anything but ordinary. As the daughter of freedom fighters she spent her childhood in exile, drifting from one country to the next, never quite fitting in. But she knew one thing for sure: one day she’d put her foot down on South African soil, and she’d finally be home. That big day finally arrived in 1990 shortly after Nelson Mandela walked free from prison. Sisonke, then just 17, was ecstatic as she stepped off a plane in Johannesburg and was ready to roll up her sleeves to do her…

TIP If you’re planning to spend the day on the beach, take games with you. A beach bocce set or beach bats and balls are easy to pack. Use a cooler to keep food fresh when out in the sun. Chill everything – even sandwiches – in advance so it all stays cold for longer. Use a beach mat under your towel to keep the sand off – especially if you’re using a bath towel rather than a big beach towel.

RIGHT UP THERE My parents won’t say which of their six kids they love the most, but they’ve told me I finished just out of the top five. NICE STORY Sam calls his wife and says in a weak voice, “Dear, I was driving to a coffee shop to meet Mary when all of a sudden a stray dog ran in front of me on that mountain pass. I tried to swerve to avoid hitting it but I was going too fast. The car skidded, overturned and ended up hanging nose-down over a cliff. “As I looked down I feared impending death. I managed to climb out of the car to save my life before it fell off the cliff, crashing below. It was blown to smithereens. “I was taken…

THERE are various kinds of oysters. The ones we eat are called table oysters. Other special oysters give us precious pearls – the only gem created by an animal. WHAT ARE OYSTERS? Animals can be categorised into two groups: vertebrates and invertebrates. The main difference between them is that vertebrates such as mammals, birds and reptiles have a spine or backbone while invertebrates such as insects and crabs don’t. Oysters belong to a group of invertebrates called molluscs. Molluscs are bivalve, which means their soft body is enclosed in two shells connected by a hinge. Like fish, they have gills that allow them to breathe underwater. Oysters eat algae, plankton and other food particles filtered from water. They stay inside their shells for most of their lives. Oyster shells are…

‘I used to love wine but I don’t drink at all now. It can bloat you’ She may be mere months away from her 60th birthday but SHARON STONE looks as fabulous as she did when she flashed her naughty bits in Basic Instinct back in 1992. Sharon was spotted frolicking in the ocean in a one-piece costume during a break in Miami, Florida, where she was joined at one stage by a mystery male pal. The actress, who stars with Beau Bridges in the upcoming TV series Mosaic, swears by Pilates, gym training and dancing to keep her svelte figure, along with eating as cleanly as possible.…

Nope, we never get tired of seeing photos of DAVID BECKHAM (42) with his kids . . . and it’s a bonus when he’s flaunting some skin too! The former soccer star was snapped enjoying a day at the seaside in Malibu, California, with his two eldest sons, BROOKLYN (18) and ROMEO (15), and daughter HARPER (6). The tattooed hunk spent time kicking a football around with his boys and boogie-boarding with them before heading into the water with Harper in his arms. The family are on holiday in Los Angeles where they lived when David was playing for LA Galaxy.…

It’s important to love and appreciate disabled people. They didn’t choose to be that way. Tomorrow it may happen to you, your child or another family member. How would it feel to you? Let us respect and take care of our disabled brothers and sisters. GODFREY MALIBE, ACORNHOEK It would be wonderful if anyone in Pietermaritzburg who’s finished reading their copy of YOU could pass it on to Sunnyside Park Home. I’d be sure to give it to the elderly ladies who can’t get out to buy their own. They jump for joy when they see YOU magazine, and pass it around. MARIE DIXON, PIETERMARITZBURG Please, guys, remember to squeeze down the openings of food cans when disposing of them. Dogs die a horrible death if their noses become stuck…

A PIZZA for the birthday boy hand-delivered by his girlfriend. It sounds like the kind of treat many a young woman would arrange to spoil her boyfriend on his special day – except this is no ordinary couple and the circumstances are nothing if not unusual. He’s a triple-murder accused fighting for his freedom in the high court in Cape Town. And she’s the devoted partner who seems determined to stand by him no matter what. Daniellé Janse van Rensburg was waiting for Henri van Breda in his advocate’s chambers across the road from court the day he turned 23. This was Henri’s third birthday since his parents, Martin and Teresa, and brother, Rudi, were killed in a brutal axe attack that also left his little sister, Marli, fighting for…

‘Real love is always chaotic. You lose control; you lose perspective. You lose the ability to protect yourself. The greater the love, the greater the chaos. It’s a given and that’s the secret’ - JONATHAN CARROLL, WHITE APPLES I MISS THE PERSON I USED TO BE Q I’m 26 and when I started having problems with my boyfriend last year I called it quits. I had friends and visited my family more often while I was going out with him. Now that we’re not together I’m happier but miserable at the same time. All I do during the week is work and sleep, and at weekends I do my laundry and I sleep, nothing else. I find it hard to meet people and make friends. Sometimes I tell myself that…

SHE’S A NATURAL “I was a bit of a drama queen. I always threw tantrums, so I knew I wasn’t a normal child,” says Millie Bobby Brown (13). “I knew I wanted to do something. But I didn’t do school plays, not even a nativity. If I’d been in a school play I probably would’ve sneezed and messed everything up.” Born in Marbella, Spain, to British parents the brown-eyed beauty and her family moved back and forth between the UK and the US. She bagged small roles in NCIS, Modern Family, Grey’s Anatomy and BBC America’s Intruders before landing her breakthrough role as Eleven in the hit sci-fi drama Stranger Things. NO OVERNIGHT SUCCESS STORY Millie’s road to stardom wasn’t easy. “There were lots of tears along the way,” she…

READ THIS DON’T LET GO By HARLAN COBEN, Century  Fifteen years ago Leo Dumas and his girlfriend, Diana Styles, were found dead on railroad tracks. Nobody determined whether it was an accident or suicide. On the same night Maura Wells – the girlfriend of Leo’s twin brother, Napoleon – also disappeared without trace. Ever since then Napoleon – or Nap, as he’s known – has been searching for the real reason behind his brother’s death and pining for his long-lost love. As a New Jersey detective he keeps looking for clues and when Maura’s fingerprints turn up out of the blue in the rental car driven by a murdered Pennsylvania cop, Nap resumes his quest with new vigour. Was his brother murdered? Was his death somehow connected to a once…

SARAH HYLAND’s bisexual fans have congratulated her on the news her Modern Family character Haley Dunphy is coming out as bi. “Yay! Go Sarah! I’m bi and proud,” tweeted one. Another wrote, “This made me tear up a little, thank you love.” Over the show’s past nine seasons, Hayley has dated only men but that’s changing. Modern Family gets even more modern. Kim Kardashian has revealed a rather odd habit of hubby KANYE WEST : he nods off at the drop of a hat. “We’ll be at a meeting or he’ll introduce me to people I’ve never met before at a restaurant and he’ll be snoring at the table,” she said on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Awks – although he could just be bored. Taylor Swift fans are convinced the singer’s…

AS LONG AS WE HAVE ONE ANOTHER MY FAVOURITE part of YOU has always been reading your readers’ letters, so I thought why not give it a shot? I hope this tender moment warms your heart as it did mine. Today I sat down with my two daughters, aged four and six, dreading having to explain to them that we have to move out of our four-bedroom house and into a two-bedroom apartment for a little while until I can find another job that pays well. My daughters looked at each other for a moment. Then my younger daughter turned to me and asked, “Are we all moving into the apartment together, Mommy?” “Yes,” I replied. “Oh, so no big deal then,” she said. It dawned on me that even…

Cyril Ramaphosa has been slammed for pushing the politics of factionalism within the ANC by announcing his team ahead of the election. After the announcement, the ANC issued a statement saying it was unacceptable for comrades to announce a line-up of officials. “[Pronouncing and circulating slates] may be seen to undermine the branches’ inalienable right to select candidates best placed to implement the national democratic revolution,” said the statement issued by Gwede Mantashe. Ramaphosa hit back with a statement of his own. “The names I mentioned for leadership positions arose from interactions and nominations emerging from ANC structures and should be understood in that context. “This however doesn’t detract from the importance of, at all times, reaffirming the centrality of the role of branch members as the electoral college for…

MILLENNIALS – the generation born roughly between 1980 and 2000 – need to take extra care with money. Their life expectancy is longer than that of previous generations, so they need to save more. Most are also entering the job market in the middle of a global economic downturn. Here are financial traps they should beware of. 1 OVERSPENDING ON A WEDDING Many young working people pay for their own wedding these days. The average cost of a wedding in South Africa is between R70 000 and R150 000, says Craig Torr, director of Crue Invest. That doesn’t include the honeymoon, which on average costs about R30 000, nor the few thousand rand spent on rings. Say you borrow R70 000 to pay for your wedding. At 18% interest you’ll…

SCORPIO 16 NOVEMBER – 22 NOVEMBER It’s a good time to rediscover the real you You’re in a phase favourable for character-building, self-development and growth; for promoting your strengths and knocking down your weaknesses. This is a week to focus on uncovering and bringing to light those aspects of yourself that are hidden – for better and for worse. Since a considerable amount of soul-searching may be required, you might want to decline a number of social activities and spend time with yourself.

‘I didn’t marry a head of state. I married Nelson Mandela. I married a man like anyone' MANHATTAN during the annual United Nations gathering of heads of state and there are presidents and prime ministers everywhere. It’s an environment with which the woman in the pink-and-red flowery dress is all too familiar – not only is Graça Machel the widow of Nelson Mandela, but she’s the only person in history to have married the heads of state of two different republics. It’s a description that annoys her. “I didn’t marry two heads of state,” she corrects me. “I married two exceptional human beings.” The first was her fellow Mozambican Samora Machel, who led the country to independence but was killed in a mysterious air crash in 1986, leaving her widowed…

He didn’t have a problem with the possibility of being seriously outnumbered by females in the house, but it turns out baby No 2 will even things out for Bok rugby player LIONEL MAPOE and long-term girlfriend CLARRISA MANACAS. Everything at Clarrisa’s recent baby shower at The Maslow Hotel in Johannesburg was a celebration of the fact that their one-year-old daughter ZARAH is getting a baby brother – from the décor and Clarrisa’s blue dress to the cake, candy floss and macaroons! “I think Lionel is excited to add another male member to our squad,” Clarrisa tells us. Zarah is too. “She points at my tummy all the time and says, ‘Baby.’ And she’s very protective, even if Lionel touches my tummy she shouts, ‘No’.” The family recently returned from…

It could be a script straight out of Hollywood: Man declared dead is found 12 years later alive and well and living in a remote campsite in Mexico. Spare a thought for OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN as this could be her reality. The 69-year-old Grease star was left heartbroken in 2005 when her boyfriend of nine years, cameraman PATRICK McDERMOTT, disappeared while on a fishing trip off the Californian coast. It was widely believed he fell overboard and drowned although there were no witnesses – despite 22 people being on board the vessel. Later stories abounded that he’d faked his own death to escape mounting debt. In 2008 he was declared dead and Olivia moved on with her life, marrying herb tycoon John Easterling. But over the years there were many who…

AFTER months of ranting online, things seem to be settling down in TYRESE GIBSON’s world. After threatening to quit the Fast & Furious movies if DWAYNE “THE ROCK” JOHNSON remained in them, and breaking down in tears in an online video in which he vented about being broke, life seems to be looking up. He’s said to have resolved his issues with The Rock, has been cleared of child abuse allegations levelled at him by his ex-wife, NORMA GIBSON, and his actor pal Will Smith has helped him out with $5 million (R70 million). Norma accused Tyrese of beating their daughter, SHAYLA (10), but an investigation by child services cleared him and he won’t face charges. Tyrese has hinted he’s leaving Los Angeles for a while to focus on his…
