A FRIEND’S cellphone was stolen recently and I was reminded again of how much we put into that little device – and just how devastating it is when it’s gone. And not just because it’s how we stay connected to the world and that we’re practically glued to it. I also realised again just how much data is available on it – information that can be used in a dangerous way if it falls into the wrong hands. It was a sobering experience seeing my friend try to wipe the phone remotely to secure her data, and I quickly checked all my security settings again. But so many people in our office were also unaware of many of the safety features built into their devices, which is why we’ve done…

I was shocked – for two reasons – to read the article about Sandra Skinner who was disfigured by Dr Charl Marais (YOU, 29 November). Firstly, a woman feels connected to her breasts. They help define her, make her feel feminine and give her a sense of confidence. To have them mutilated in that way is horrendous. But secondly, this woman allowed herself to be operated on by a general practitioner and not a qualified plastic surgeon. Even if this doctor told her he had several surgeries under the belt, she landed herself in this terrible situation. The correct process would’ve been to ask her GP for a referral to a specialist who could then offer her the best advice and treatment. Seeing this GP for plastic surgery is the…

SHE’S walked the runway for top designers, travelled the world, spoken at the United Nations General Assembly and rubbed shoulders with a raft of A-listers. But the high-flying times Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters became used to during her reign as Miss Universe are about to come to an end – although she has enough memories to sustain her for a lifetime. “This year has exceeded my expectations, the best and worst of them,” the 23-year-old beauty tells us from the apartment on 57th Street, New York, that’s been her home for the past year. “You don’t realise what it takes to move to a different country where you know nobody, having to make new friends, figuring out the transport system and everything. “My biggest low has been missing my dog, Benji, but…

A war against Pravin Gordhan is a war against accountability and an effort to discredit those who could expose the EFF’s scandals, political columnist Max du Preez says. He says the EFF’s alleged links to the VBS Mutual Bank collapse is one scandal in which the party has been accused of benefiting millions. Political analyst Ralph Mathekga agrees. “The EFF are masters of disruptive politics,” he says. “They trade conspiracies on the streets where they’re accountable to no one, while benefiting from functioning formal institutions such as the courts. “The party practises the most insincere and disingenuous form of politics that plays on genuine issues of society but with no aim to find actual solutions, only to remain the disruptor.”…

INXEBA: THE WOUND Local drama. This critically acclaimed yet controversial Xhosa-language film has been the focus of conversations throughout South Africa for months. Kwanda (Niza Jay Ncoyini) and other teenage boys are initiated in the mountains of the Eastern Cape as a conduit from boyhood to manhood. But it isn’t just Kwanda who’s asked to come to terms with his identity, it’s also his caregiver, Xolani (Nakhane Touré). Visually breathtaking with a riveting story, Inxeba is a piece of art. It’s not for everyone but forces viewers to grapple with the complex relationship between tradition and modernity and invites discussions about culture, sexuality and identity. – FRANCO HAVENGA 2017. 85 MIN. 18DLNPSV. ALSO ON DVD. BRAVEN Action. As Aquaman, Jason Momoa may be a superhero worth drooling over but his…

WHY? It was a question that crossed Robin Williams’ mind more often now that he’d put in roughly 35 years as a professional entertainer and more than 60 as a human being. What did he still get out of doing what he was doing, and why did he feel the compulsion to keep doing it? He’d already enjoyed nearly all of the accomplishments that he could hope for in his field, tasted the richest successes, won most of the major awards. By 2013 the work was less abundant than it used to be and nowhere near as lucrative. He’d seemed poised for a professional resurgence when he’d been cast in The Crazy Ones, a new TV comedy show, but when the first episode aired it was met with lukewarm reviews.…

HE CAN still remember it. Although it’s been five years he can still vividly recall those miraculous first weeks of fatherhood and the joy of staring into his twin sons’ bright blue eyes. Even the nappy changes and sleepless nights weren’t so bad – he was just so grateful his boys were alive. Parenthood got off to a bumpy start for Hendri Terblanche and his wife, Giselle, after their babies arrived three months early. This meant the tots had to spend weeks in the hospital’s neonatal unit – and while they were there their father was with them day and night. It was a stressful time but Hendri was relieved he could focus on what was really important. His boss told him not to worry, that he could work flexible…

HE EARNED himself a phalanx of fans by rescuing damsels in distress and vanquishing villains with a dazzling display of martial arts and an infectious grin that made it impossible not to love him. But for decades Jackie Chan harboured dark secrets behind those twinkly eyes. In an explosive memoir, first published in Chinese in 2015, the legendary actor makes shocking admissions that make him seem more like the on-screen baddies he battled. In Never Grow Up the 64-year-old Hong Kong-born star admits to frequenting brothels, treating the women in his life like dirt and even hurling his toddler son across a room in a fit of rage. He also regularly drove drunk and once crashed twice in a single day – first his Porsche in the morning and then…

STEP 1 Apply one or two coats of mascara to the outer part of the lashes. Start at the roots and work your way to the tips, gently moving the mascara wand from side to side.

IF IT WASN’T FOR OUR GRANDKIDS I’D LEAVE Q There’s a stereotype about sex in marriage where the man begs for it and the wife fakes a headache – or other ailment – to avoid it. Sadly, in my experience, this is true. I think the reason my wife wants a husband is simply because it’s “the thing to do”. She’s lost all sexual interest in me. I’ve considered having an affair but it’s not my style. I’m quite despondent, maybe even depressed. If it wasn’t for our grandchildren, I’d have left her already. It’s a second marriage for both of us. My eldest child is married and my youngest lives in a different city. Her eldest daughter has a child of 18 and they both live with us. She…

ROBIN’S CREW After reprising his role as Eggsy in the second Kingsman movie, Welsh actor Taron Egerton is back in the latest version of Robin Hood. The classic 14th-century folktale tells the story of Robin of Loxley, a war-hardened Crusader who becomes a “noble outlaw” by stealing from the rich to give to the poor in revolt against the corrupt English crown. Oscar winner Jamie Foxx plays Robin’s Moorish mentor, Little John. Eve Hewson stars as his love interest, Maid Marian, Jamie Dornan plays his half-brother, Will Scarlett, and Ben Mendelsohn is the villainous Sheriff of Nottingham. GRITTY REMAKE It’s been eight years since the previous Robin Hood remake. Taron initially felt movie fans might not be ready for another film about the infamous English archer and almost turned down…

HUNCHED over in his wheelchair, his head and chin covered in sparse salt-and-pepper tufts, the old man doesn’t seem particularly dangerous – but appearances can be deceptive. Samuel Little may be the most prolific serial killer in American history. He’s been behind bars for four years, serving life sentences for the murders of three women in Los Angeles in the ’80s. But if his new claims pan out – and several of the top forensic minds in the US believe they will – this is just the tip of the iceberg of Little’s prolific slaying spree. The 78-year-old former boxer claims to have committed 90 murders across the country before he was caught for the three murders. His shock confessions were made public by authorities recently and might bring closure…

The Mzansi Super League (MSL) is in full swing, with six teams, 32 matches and a terrific showcase of local and international stars.

ME AND MY GIRL!  I ONCE thought it wouldn’t be easy for a father to build a strong relationship with his child. That was until 16 August 2014 when my baby girl was born. I started bonding with her from the day she came home from the hospital. It was only me and her mom and I told myself I wasn’t going to let her mom do it all on her own because she’d gone through hell during her pregnancy. There was nothing I could do about that, but I knew the time would come when I could play a role. I made sure I performed every duty traditionally done by women: preparing bottles and feeding. I even had skin contact in order to build a strong bond with her.…

The Labour Laws Amendment Bill grants new fathers 10 days’ parental leave. It also allows parents who adopt a child 10 weeks’ leave (for the primary caregiver) and 10 days’ leave for the other parent – provided the child is younger than two when adopted. Parental leave will be covered by the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF). Cheryllyn Dudley, an MP for the ACDP who was instrumental in getting the bill passed, says employers’ HR departments will facilitate the processes. Youlandé Prinsloo, who specialises in labour-related issues, says parental leave will also be granted to same-sex couples. The new bill – which is expected to come into effect in January – requires both parents’ names on the child’s birth certificate and it’s hoped this will lead to greater accountability from both…

‘Julius Malema has propagated hate speech against all South Africans.’ ‘Enough is enough. If you want to argue with us politically it’s fine, but once you lie and attack families and you propagate lies and divide South African society then it’s totally unacceptable.’ ‘We want a decent country for black professionals and all others for generations to come.’ ‘Gordhan is a dog of white monopoly capital. We must hit the dog until the owner comes out.’ ‘You push me, I push back.’ ‘I’m not scared of Pravin.

NEED help with your money matters but not sure how to choose an adviser? Here’s how to go about it. Firstly, make sure they’re legit. There are definitely benefits to having a financial adviser – someone who makes sure you achieve your savings goals and build wealth. On the other hand, some people have bad experiences with advisers who – after selling them a product and going on to earn a tidy commission without having to do any more work – are never seen again. But the days of unreliable advisers are numbered. The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) is working on the retail distribution review, which will strictly regulate the training, licensing and payment of all people who give financial advice, says Etienne Gouws, head of Momentum Intermediary Solutions.…

■ This movie comes 110 years after the first Robin Hood film, Robin Hood and His Merry Men (1908). ■ Danish YouTube sensation Lars Andersen was hired to teach the cast archery.
