INFIDELITY HURTS Betrayal leads to death. The tragedy of Susan Rohde is another example of how much hurt people suffer by being betrayed by their life partner. I blame the mistresses. If a man is married, don’t accept the dinner invitation – CEO or not! Princess Diana was betrayed and suffered terribly, as do many women. Your soul dies. DISHEARTENED, JOHANNESBURG JOY OF CROSSWORDS & GIRAFFES! My father, Keith Blake, buys YOU, his only spoil for himself, every week and loves doing all the crosswords. My mother, Barbara, is 84 and an avid knitter of toys. She can always be seen clicking away furiously as she creates her next project. She was delighted with the adorable giraffe pattern (YOU, 17 May) and couldn’t wait to make one. Her giraffe family…

Hallelujah! It’s wonderful to know our justice system is beyond reproach and evil-addled thugs like Henri van Breda who mercilessly butchered his family don’t get off scot-free (YOU, 7 June). It’s awesome that Judge Desai didn’t believe Henri’s counsel’s excuse about an epileptic attack or that he was the poor middle child who was maltreated and belittled throughout his life. Another hallelujah for the fact that Henri won’t get his dirty hands on the millions he was after. He alone wanted to inherit what his parents had worked for their whole lives. He has earned his punishment and he’s getting exactly what he deserves. STACY FLUKE, SPRINGS It seems to me that although Oscar Pistorius was convicted of murder it wasn’t premeditated. Yet he was subjected to house arrest, police…

SHE takes her royal roles seriously, does the Duchess of Cambridge, smiling and chatting to strangers with the perfect poise and immaculate manners of a queen to be. But there’s no doubt about it: the role she enjoys most is that of mother. And chilling on the lawns with her kids at a charity polo game at the Beaufort Polo club in Gloucestershire, Kate (36) has never looked happier or more relaxed. Just the previous day she was the embodiment of a future queen, sheathed in an elegant Alexander McQueen dress, when she joined members of the royal family on the balcony at Buckingham Palace to honour Queen Elizabeth’s birthday at the annual Trooping the Colour parade. Yet here she looked like any other mom out on a Sunday, frolicking…

JUSTIN TRUDEAU (46) He’s been making waves on the world stage ever since he was sworn in as Canada’s prime minister in 2015. But it seems voters aren’t always swayed by his good looks. A recent poll found Canadian citizens prefer the Conservative Party over their cute-as-a-button prime minister’s Liberal Party – despite the fact he’s helped rescue the country’s ailing economy. ENRIQUE PEÑA NIETO (51) He’s been president of Mexico since 2012 but although he’s been hailed as the George Clooney of politics he’s proving to be one of the country’s most unpopular leaders ever. In January last year his approval rating among Mexicans stood at just 12%. KATRÍN JAKOBSDÓTTIR (42) She isn’t just stunning – before being elected prime minister last year a national poll named her Iceland’s…

Actress Rose Byrne 1 Medium-length hair STEP 1 Apply a heat-protecting product to your hair and make a parting. Secure half your hair to one side to keep it out of the way while curling the other half. STEP 2 Comb through a small section of hair at the front. Bend this section of hair slightly from the root backward to make a C-shape. Put a heated hair straightener over the indent of the C and tap it (by opening and closing the tongs). STEP 3 Fasten a hair clip over the indent to keep it in place. STEP 4 Make another C-shape further along the same segment of hair, but this time make it face the opposite direction to the first C (in effect creating a wave shape). Again,…

YOU pay your insurance premiums monthly only to find when you submit a claim that it’s refused. Here are claims that are often denied or not fully paid out – we find out why. POWER SURGES Damage as a result of power surges isn’t generally standard cover in most policies. A power surge is when there’s a sudden spike in the electrical stream in your home. It can be really quick – less than a second – but can cause significant damage to your electronic equipment and appliances. The usual victims are fridges, microwave ovens, freezers, computers and TVs. You can insure against it, but you’ll have to add it to your policy. This is called extended coverage and you’ll pay extra for it. It’s worth considering getting if your…

A MATTER OF TRUST The show is about the 1973 kidnapping of US oil tycoon J Paul Getty’s teenage grandson, John Paul Getty III (Harris Dickinson), by the Italian mafia. When they demand a ransom for the 16-year-old his uber-rich grandfather, played by Donald Sutherland, refuses to pay it. It’s up to his mother, Gail Getty (played by Hilary), to get him home. The 43-year-old actress says she’s always preferred doing movies rather than TV as she finds it claustrophobic to play the same character over a long period, but the 10-part mini-series was perfect for her. “I loved it. I’m in eight episodes.” Having grown up poor in a trailer park she says she’s fascinated by the opulence of the Gettys’ lives. “To think this billionaire made so much…

M-NET TIMELESS SEASON 2 Starts Friday 15 June at 16:45. After an outcry from fans, this enormously entertaining sci-fi series got revived three days after being cancelled – something that rarely happens. A scientist (Malcolm Barrett), a history professor (Abigail Spencer) and a soldier (Matt Lanter) have to stop a criminal (Goran Visnjić), who’s stolen a time machine and travelled to pivotal moments in US history to disrupt these events and so destroy the country. The show has a lot of witty fun with time travel, well-cast actors playing historical figures and likeable leads with great chemistry. SHOWMAX THE WIRE SEASONS 1-5 If you’ve never seen this groundbreaking series, which ran from 2002 to 2008, you’re in for a treat. It’s a gripping, complex and provocative tale of a city…

SHAWN MENDES By SHAWN MENDES The Canadian’s third album sees the 19-year-old navigating the move from teen pop star to career artist with class, with the help of heavyweight friends such as Ed Sheeran, Julia Michael and Khalid. The songwriting is solid and honest, the tunes are catchy and his voice is velvety smooth. – NICI DE WET TESTING By ASAP ROCKY Despite the hype the 29-year-old’s second offering fails to impress. With its noisy, radio static-like beats it’s out of step with current mainstream rap. There are many guests including Snoop Dogg, Frank Ocean, Moby and FKA, but the result sounds more like a meandering mixtape than a studio album. – LINDSAY DE FREITAS…

During the Middle Ages the scallop shell became known as the symbol of St James. There are a few legends that link him to the shell – one tells of how he rescued a knight who’d plummeted off a cliff into the ocean and emerged covered in scallops – but the shell is also found on the coast of Galicia, the region of Spain where Santiago de Compostela is located. The scallops served a practical purpose for the pilgrims, who wore them attached to their cloaks or hats: they were used as bowls to hold their food or water on the long journey.…

SHE’S been hailed as the authentic voice of young women these days – she’s independent, cool and in charge of her sexuality. Her anthems of self-love and empowerment, her outspoken views on girl power and a hefty dose of sex appeal have turned Dua Lipa into pop’s hottest property. Since exploding onto the music scene last year with her self-titled debut album, the 22-year-old has become known for her no-holds-barred hits such as New Rules and IDGAF (I Don’t Give a F**k). And the feisty go-getter is just getting started. Vogue magazine recently included her in its inaugural list of the most influential women in the UK. Dubbed the Vogue 25, the list is made up of what the glossy fashion bible calls “an extraordinary cast of leaders defining –…

Life has certainly changed for TAMARA DEY – these days the singer often has a mike in one hand and a baby in the other. But she wouldn’t have it any other way. “I’m absolutely loving being a mom and I couldn’t be more blessed with such an awesome kid,” she says of six-month-old daughter LALABELLA (Lala for short). “She’s such a little charmer and has everybody eating out of the palm of her hand,” the besotted mom says. “She laughs a lot and when that little face lights up, it just lights up the room.” Of course it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. “It’s tough sometimes but there are so many beautiful moments with her every day that completely outweigh the challenges. I feel like she’s going to be…

SOMETIMES it’s hard not to roll my eyes at my father. I wrote about my mom for our Mother’s Day issue, which prompted him to ask why I’m not writing about him. Cue eye-roll . . . So on the eve of Father’s Day, I’m writing about my dad. I can even hear him bragging to my mom how this time it’s all about him. Competitive, those two. I’ve inherited many of my father’s traits – good and bad. Like him, I can sometimes be stubborn and won’t back down from a fight, even when it’s probably wiser to do so. I can become impatient and I have a low tolerance for people who try to cut corners. But from him I’ve also learnt how to be careful with money…

The severe drought in the Western Cape has once again highlighted the ingenuity and inventiveness of South Africans. Your excellent article Water Wisdom (YOU, 31 May) featured a bath divider that makes your bath smaller. What a brilliant idea. BJ, SMS Call me a cynic but I give the royal marriage five to 10 years. SYD, SMS I quite agree with Jenny who wrote about the money coming off our pension (YOU, 7 June). I had R33 off last month and my cousin has had R25 rand taken off for the past few months. This is happening to lots of pensioners. Where’s our money going? IRENE, CAPE TOWN There are no fees when receiving pensions. I’ve been charged R25, R20 and R15 recently. Are other pensioners being charged? I want…

IT HAD been a long, exhausting day. He’d spent hours helping workmen build a garage at his home and now, with the sun gone, his eyes grew heavy as he sat in his parked car. A sudden noise startled Sibusiso Tshabalala awake. Someone was pulling at the car’s door handle and pounding on the window. Fearing it was a hijacker, he pointed his gun and squeezed the trigger. Crime is rife in Ennerdale, south of Johannesburg, where he lives and he carries his licensed firearm with him when he’s out on the streets at night. Then he heard the words that would haunt him for the rest of his life, “Daddy, it’s me!” The “hijacker” was his 16-year-old son, Luyanda, and his father’s alleged terrible mistake stunned the country and…

IT’S a feeling you probably know only too well: the mid-afternoon slump. That time of day when you find yourself zoning out at your desk, succumbing to the temptation to sink down a social media hole or heading for the vending machine for a sugar fix to get you through the day. You can take comfort from knowing you aren’t alone: a recent survey of British office workers found 2.55pm is the twilight zone of productivity. But pushing through the dead zone is crucial if you want to maximise your work day – and stay in your boss’ good books. Here are several tips and tricks to try. EAT LOW-GI FOODS Instead of tucking into a choccie or loading up on wine gums when the slump hits, go for something…

Hilary earned $75 (then R450) a day for the 1999 movie Boys Don’t Cry, for which she won an Oscar. She was married for 10 years to actor Chad Lowe, Rob Lowe’s younger brother. They divorced in 2007. She has her own luxury sportswear label, Mission Statement. “I couldn’t find pieces that served me in all facets of my life, so I designed it.” She started an animal charity, the Hilaroo Foundation, named after herself and Karoo, a dog she found and adopted while shooting the 2004 film Red Dust in the Karoo in SA. She’s said to be single after breaking off her engagement to Ruben Torres, a financial adviser and former pro tennis player, in 2016.…

PROFESSOR MARSTON AND THE WONDER WOMEN The raging success of Wonder Woman (2017) has brought a renewed focus on the first female superhero’s creator, Harvard psychologist Dr William Marston (Luke Evans). And it’s a fascinating tale. Marston, who believed women were superior to men, had a polyamorous family – he lived with his wife (Rebecca Hall) and mistress (Bella Heathcote) and had kids with both of them. The three also indulged in BDSM long before the Fifty Shades franchise made it mainstream. This movie is both a feminist statement and a sensitive exploration of their unorthodox bond – and the challenges they faced for their choices. Worth the watch. – LIZ DE VILLIERS 2017. 108 MIN. 16LS. REBEL IN THE RYE This film sheds light on reclusive US author JD…

The cathedral was built on top of the site of an old church, which had been constructed on top of St James’ tomb. The original church was destroyed in 997 by a Muslim army. Construction of the mostly granite building began in 1075. According to the Book of Saint James – a guidebook for pilgrims – the cathedral was built by Bernard the elder, “a wonderful master”, and his assistant, Robertus Galperinus, with help from Esteban, master of cathedral works. The book also says the last stone was laid in 1122, but the cathedral was expanded many times in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.…

‘I thought I was going insane. It shattered my mind. We wanted to become one. We wanted to bond. It wasn’t a happy time. It was a crisis. It was a tragedy. It was a terrifying experience’ IT’S one of life’s biggest taboos and is universally regarded with horror and revulsion – yet some perpetrators say they simply can’t help it. If these people are to be believed, their incestuous behaviour isn’t their fault – and experts agree. They have a condition called genetic sexual attraction (GSA) which pulls them towards their parents, children and siblings with animal magnetism. Three recent cases have shone a fresh spotlight on this disturbing phenomenon. In each case, parent and child had been separated soon after birth but reconnected later – and when they…

KAYDEN KINCKLE, CYBORG This little boy was born with a condition that caused his internal organs to grow outside his navel. When he was a year old, Kayden developed a severe infection that spread to his legs and his mom made the difficult decision to have his limbs amputated to save his life. Josh transformed Kayden (5) into Cyborg because “in his younger years Cyborg was a healthy boy until he had a horrible accident. His father kept him alive by giving him robotic parts.” MATAESE MANUMA, AQUAMAN The two-year-old has a rare form of leukaemia and was transformed from chemo patient to all-conquering, all-powerful Aquaman. Josh called him a powerhouse for being so strong after his last round of chemo. “Mataese, just like Aquaman from the movie, is of…

WHAT we’d give to spend a year in a celebrity’s shoes – from all-expenses-paid working trips in foreign countries to flying across the world to connect with family, these stars are living their best lives!

SINGER BEYONCÉ (36) and rapper hubby JAY-Z (48) kicked off their On the Run II tour earlier this month. And luckily for those of us not in attendance, fans shared plenty of snippets of the concert in Cardiff, Wales, on social media. The Carters’ marital strife of recent years was highly publicised – Bey dished on it in 2016’s Lemonade and Jay in 2017’s 4:44. But the power couple were keen to put it behind them, and presented a united front as they sashayed through their most memorable hits. They did give a cheeky nod to the drama of the past few years however by descending onto the stage in – wait for it – a lift. Fans immediately caught the reference to Jay and sister-in-law Solange’s infamous 2014 elevator…

BORIS BECKER’s many trophies are being auctioned off in an attempt to settle the tennis player’s debt. The six-time Grand Slam champion, who was declared bankrupt last year, is selling 81 trophies and other prizes. Among the more valuable items is a R1,4-million replica of the Renshaw Cup, which was awarded to a then 17-year-old Boris (now 50) after he became the youngest ever Grand Slam singles champion when he triumphed at Wimbledon in 1985.

‘Imagine if we could all spread a little cheer in our own circle of influence’ LUNCH FOR TWO IT WAS a Tuesday afternoon. I was rushing back to the office after a meeting. The usually sunny Durban weather had been replaced by a downpour. Caught in the rain with no umbrella, I sought refuge in a little café not too far from the office. I decided to buy lunch to enjoy while I waited for the showers to pass. While waiting for my order I noticed a homeless man standing at the door, presumably seeking refuge from the rain too. As people left the shop, he’d politely ask them if they had any change to spare. People walked past him as if he weren’t there. I approached him and asked…

HE LONGS for the days when he could wake up in the morning feeling rested and refreshed. But for the past three years it’s been the same pattern: almost every night, like clockwork, he wakes with a jolt at around 3am. Then he tries to make sense of the tragic event that’s been part of his life for so long – the gruesome axe murder at the exclusive De Zalze estate outside Stellenbosch which left his brother, sister-in-law and nephew dead. André van Breda admits he’s agonised a lot since 27 January 2015, when he received the news of the horrific triple murder of Martin (54), Teresa (55) and their son Rudi (22). But these days it’s thoughts about their younger son, Henri (23), who was recently sentenced to three…

IT STARTED off as a simple plan to get the kids in her school moving and turned into a multi-country, multi-school initiative. And it takes just 15 minutes a day. Elaine Wyllie, then principal of a primary school in Scotland, was worried about the lack of exercise the kids in her school were getting. But it took a volunteer physical education teacher to spur her into action. “Your children aren’t fit,” he told her. And if they weren’t fit in their primary school years, the future didn’t bode well for them. That same afternoon Elaine told a physical education class to run a lap around the sports field and she was stunned by the results. “By the end most of them were doubled up and had a stitch,” she recalls.…

I DON’T NEED MY LOVER TO BE THE DAD Q I’m 32 and having an affair with a married man. We fight a lot because we’re both extremely jealous and he often accuses me of having relationships with other guys but the fact is there’s nobody else in my life. I’ve been yearning for a child for several years and have started consulting with a fertility expert as I want to have a baby using donor sperm. My lover says he doesn’t care and I should have a baby if I want to but I’m concerned about what the impact will be on our relationship. He and his wife have a child who’s 10 years old and they dote on him. He’s a good father – it’s because of his…

‘I see now that life is much more than just numbers on a chart or how much money you have. It’s about being happy and balanced’ She’s one of the most sought-after songwriters of the moment and this month the 28-year-old artist’s star continues to rise with the release of her first album, Expectations. We take a look. She hails from Brooklyn, New York, and is of Albanian descent. Born Bleta (which means “bee” in Albanian), she gave herself the nickname Bebe as a child and later decided to use it as her stage name. Growing up, she taught herself to play guitar, trumpet and piano. She showed songwriting talent from an early age and in her early teens won the best teen songwriter award at the National Academy of…

FROM the Middle Ages to this day, thousands of people walk one of the trails of the Camino de Santiago (The Way of St James) every year to visit the beautiful cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in the Galician region of Spain. Also known as the Pilgrimage of Compostela, it’s a long trek to the shrine of Saint James the Great, where the remains of Jesus Christ’s apostle are said to be buried.

‘Today more than 100 000 people will die of ageing. It’s time to stop that’ ELIZABETH Parrish doesn’t look obviously weird. Quite the contrary: with her polished manners, and gigawatt earnestness, she could easily be a smiling corporate assassin from Silicon Valley. But if you could magically shrink yourself to the size of a bacterium’s toothbrush and poke around in her white blood cells, you’d be in for something of a shock. Elizabeth is a mutant. The first of her kind. Her leukocytes are riddled with a virus that was custom-built to wind back her biological clock. She’s the patient zero in a highly unorthodox campaign to cure ageing itself. Her young company, Bio-Viva, is flogging nothing less than the prospect of rejuvenation. For her admirers she’s the Christopher Columbus…

LIFE has a way of imitating art sometimes – just ask Karla Mosley. Last year her character welcomed a gorgeous little girl into her life – and now the star is preparing to say hello to her own first tot. The 36-year-old actress in The Bold and the Beautiful recently broke the news that she and boyfriend John Rogers are expecting a child in August by posting a cute pic on Instagram captioned, “It seems the secret’s out. We’re extremely grateful for the well wishes as we wait to meet our sweet little nugget this summer!” This is quite a year for Karla. She recently accepted a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Daily Drama on behalf of The Bold. The award is thanks largely to the storyline of her character,…

JOSH MOVES ON FOLLOWING months of romance rumours, JOSH DUHAMEL (45) and Baby Driver actress EIZA GONZÁLEZ (28) were recently spotted on a late-night dinner date. The two first sparked rumours they were dating in February, about five months after the actor and former Black Eyed Peas singer FERGIE (43) – who are parents to son Axl (4) – announced they’d split after eight years of marriage. According to an eyewitness at the Beverly Hills restaurant, “Josh was trying his best to stay under the radar, but Eiza had her hand on his waist and a big smile on her face.” The next morning, the pair were spotted going for breakfast. “Josh was wearing the same clothes he wore to dinner the night before,” an onlooker says. “They sat across…
