I FELT my spirits lift when I read the story about the ace team that NPA boss Shamilah Batohi has put together. There’s something so reassuring in knowing that highly rated, competent, talented people are coming in to tackle what seems an insurmountable task. It’s easy to descend into a pit of despair when we think about all the bad things happening around us. Corruption – with its long-lasting, far-reaching effects – is enough to cast gloom over any day, which is why this story on page 16 was so great to read. Sometimes all you need are the right bums on the best seat in the right bus to fix what seems irreparably broken. I can imagine it’s not going to be easy – if what came out of…

To Anne (YOU Say, 11 April), just because our church is casual doesn’t mean we have no respect for ourselves, others or God. What about a homeless person with holes in his clothes? Does this person who’s lost everything also have no respect? Church should be about how we worship and not how we dress or how rich we are. WORSHIPPER, EMAIL I don’t agree with Anne regarding dressing for church. If you read your Bible you’ll realise it’s what’s inside that counts, not outward appearances. ISHARA, SMS I’d like to remind Anne that God doesn’t look at our attire – whether smart or casual. He looks at the inner person and whether you live your life with love and kindness. Don’t judge – just believe! GRANNY, SUN VALLEY Crime…

WHAT’S a quick hop on a helicopter to pop over to Scotland for a round of golf? Or an over-the-top wedding at Windsor Castle for your younger daughter, partially funded by the taxpayer? Not much, if you’re a prince of the realm. It’s no secret Prince Andrew (59) loves the perks that come with his station. And thanks to the fact he’s being bumped further down the line of succession with every child his nephews Princes William (36) and Harry (34) produce, he enjoys these rewards with little of the responsibility that comes with being a high-ranking royal. But the Duke of York’s attitude has never sat well with big brother Prince Charles (70) – and now a new BBC documentary, The Royal Family at War, has laid bare the…

ON HER first day in office she promised to transform the beleaguered National Prosecuting Authority, bringing in key staff members who’d instil confidence in the department and root out the rot threatening to bring the country to its knees. “There’s a dark cloud hanging over the NPA,” Shamila Batohi told the media in February, hours after her appointment as head of the authority was announced. “The NPA needs a change in leadership that all South Africans can be proud of,” she said. Two months later she’s done just that, making critical changes to the structure that many hope will see the arrest of agents of state capture and bring high-profile criminals to book. WILLIE HOFMEYR Head of the asset forfeiture unit (AFU) ‘Now to get some of our billions back’…

WITH power cuts come bad-hair days. Not being able to use your heat-styling tools, you’re either left with wet hair or have to postpone washing your tresses. But there are styles that work well with wet hair and ways to get around a dirty mane. Wet-hair look This is probably the easiest style to try. After washing your hair, simply apply gel or mousse to damp hair and comb it into place. This style works well on long and short hair. Accessorise Hair accessories such as headbands, scarves, hats or bandannas can hide dirty or unstyled hair effectively. Choose your accessory according to what you’re trying to conceal. For example, wear a headband if your edges are unruly, or a bandanna if your roots are a little oily. French braid…

WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? BILLIE EILISH  Haunting, dark brilliance comes to mind. It’s hard to believe the voice and lyrics belong to a teenager. She’s so different to everything out there – from her clothes (baggy androgynous) to her goth-inspired music videos (think listless eyes staring upward and pouring black tears) and eerie voice. Stand-out tracks are You Should See Me in a Crown, Bury a Friend and Wish You Were Gay. If you’re a fan of Lorde or Lana del Rey you’ll enjoy Billie. – NICI DE WET YOU’RE STRONGER THAN YOU KNOW JAMES MORRISON The British crooner’s fifth album arrives after years of emotional and professional tumult – he lost his father, brother and nephew and was dropped by his record label. But…

LEAVE NO TRACE Drama. Like its main characters, this film is earthy and stripped of excess, while the natural beauty of Portland, Oregon, plays an integral role. A man and his 13-year-old daughter live in an idyllic existence in a huge national park. Will (Inferno’s Ben Foster) hears helicopters in his nightmares and it quickly becomes clear he suffers from post-traumatic stress after being a soldier in the Middle East. Tom (Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie) must take on the role of parent when they’re chased from one forest to the next as it’s apparently unacceptable for a girl to grow up under the open sky. They end up on a farm and just as Tom starts to make friends, Will wants to hit the road again. What should happen to people…

HE USED to live the life of a mafia boss you’d see in a Hollywood movie. Home was a four-storey mansion on “millionaire’s mile” in Bedfordview, Johannesburg. He had a holiday home on the banks of the Vaal River and a R150-million villa near Prague in the Czech Republic, and his garages housed a fleet of luxury cars. His mistress was a former Playboy model, he had connections with drug-lords and there’d been more than one attempt on his life. Czech fugitive and crime boss Radovan Krejcir’s name was also linked to a string of underworld murders, but nothing could ever be pinned on him – until 2016, when he was sentenced to 35 years in jail for kidnapping, attempted murder and drug smuggling. But even though he’s behind bars,…

An aneurysm forms when part of an artery wall weakens, causing it to balloon or widen abnormally. The danger lies in it rupturing and releasing blood into the brain. If not caught in time, death can be swift. A subarachnoid haemorrhage, which Emilia had, is a type of stroke caused by a ruptured aneurysm. Symptoms include a sudden severe headache, nausea and vomiting, a stiff neck, sensitivity to light, blurred vision, loss of consciousness and seizures. A third of patients recover, a third survive with disability, and a third die. Adults aged 35 to 60 are most at risk, and women are more likely than men to develop aneurysms. Risk factors include family history, smoking, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Surgery is performed depending on the patient’s age and…

TALK about a buzz! When Netflix released the trailer for Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé, her online fan base – known as the Beyhive – went crazy. The prospect of a behind-the-scenes look at Bey’s epic performance at last year’s Coachella music festival is mouthwatering for her supporters. However, it seems that wasn’t their biggest takeaway from the teaser trailer. That honour was reserved for the 37-year-old singer’s twins. About 30 seconds into the clip, rarely seen tots Rumi and Sir (1) are pictured being cuddled by their adoring mom – and boy, are they cute! Not to be outdone, older sister Blue Ivy (7) also makes an appearance, whipping her hair enthusiastically as she rehearses a dance routine with her mother and a team of dancers. One fan who’s…

They’ve been divorced for more than two decades but Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, are as thick as thieves – and maybe even closer than that. Rumours have been swirling of late that the pair, who live on the same property, have rekindled their romance. The exes put on a united front at younger daughter Eugenie’s wedding last year, but speculation reached fever pitch with their overseas jaunt to Bahrain in March – their first trip abroad together in 25 years. Andrew and Fergie met up with elder daughter Beatrice and her boyfriend, property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi (35), after an official business trip where they were guests of Bahrain’s crown prince, Salman. The foursome went to the Bahrain Grand Prix, where Fergie shared a selfie she captioned,…

Shamila Batohi is putting her money where her mouth is and shaking things up at the National Prosecuting Authority, says Lawson Naidoo, executive secretary of the Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution. “She’s appointed people with experience who’ll be able to execute their mandates professionally,” Naidoo says. “She’s ensuring the capability and public perception of the NPA are enhanced, which is critical to restoring the integrity of the organisation. “Batohi is showing great commitment to turning around this key institution that lies at the centre of the criminal justice system. “She has to rebuild public trust and can do so only once she gets to grips with the scale of the challenge that confronts her.” David Lewis, director of civil organisation Corruption Watch, agrees. “She’s doing her…

PINS Pins are great for securing styled hair. Make sure they don’t dig into your scalp. DRY SHAMPOOS Spray dry shampoo on your hair the previous night so it can absorb extra oil overnight. Wear a satin scarf or use a satin pillowcase so your hair doesn’t lose too much moisture while you sleep. EDGE TAMERS They work well on clean hair, so make sure your hair has no product build-up. After applying the product, cover the area with a silk scarf and keep it in place for 30-60 minutes so the product can set. WIDE-TOOTH COMBS Always use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush on wet hair as they cause less breakage than conventional brushes. They’re also great for detangling dirty hair. MOUSSES A good mousse not only keeps…

HOW DO I GET MY BOYFRIEND TO BELIEVE IN GOD? Q I’ve been living with my boyfriend for a year now and he’s a wonderful person. I’m a devoted Christian and it bothers me that he refuses to go to church with me. He also refuses to read the Bible or pray with me and he can’t really give me a good reason for why he won’t do these things. He just says he doesn’t know what to believe at present. I’ve offered to arrange for him to talk to my minister but he’s also refused that. I miss him when I go to church and I wish we could talk about God. He says I should speak to my fellow Christians about stuff like that. He’s a very good…

TAURUS 20 APRIL – 20 MAY Set new goals and change your mantra  The week could start off on an unsettling note as most Taureans aren’t comfortable with change. Unpredictability could be the name of the game, which can cause upsets and steer you off course. But excitement and pleasant surprises may be part of the deal too. Set yourself fresh goals in anticipation of your new personal year. Your new mantra could be to go with the flow when possible and to be more flexible. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 31, 23, 15, 21, 48, 9 GEMINI 21 MAY – 20 JUNE  If you’re a true Gemini, chances are you may sometimes struggle to complete a task or project. This shortcoming might be a bother this week. Scattering your energy can…

■ A tortoise is a turtle, but a turtle isn’t a tortoise. A turtle is any shelled reptile belonging to the order Chelonii. The term tortoise refers specifically to terrestrial turtles – and, no, tortoises can’t swim. ■ The scales on the shell are known as scutes. The number of growth rings on the scutes shows the tortoise’s approximate age. ■ Tortoises are unique in that they have both an exoskeleton (a shell) and an endoskeleton (spine and ribs). ■ They can live for a long time – more than 50 years isn’t an unusual lifespan. In fact, the world’s oldest tortoise was believed to have reached the grand old age of 189!…

ILLUMINATION By NTHIKENG MOHLELE Pan Macmillan SA He describes Johannesburg as if it’s a lover about whom he keeps discovering new things. And when Bantubonke talks music – and musicians such as Angélique Kidjo and Phuzekhemisi – his passion is apparent. He’s an accomplished and revered jazz trumpeter, composer and band leader in decline, an absent-present and inadequate spouse. He lives for art at the expense of all else, which doesn’t bode well for him. Mohlele’s new offering is at its heart a love story. But there’s nothing simple about it. It’s a great read, especially for lovers of music. OPENING LINES Life is not as remarkable a thing as most people have concluded and believe. There are other things – there must be, countless things – that dictate liaisons…

FROM a young age she knew she was different. While all the other boys in her neighbourhood played with toy cars, she loved dressing up and wearing doeks. Seeing the little boy dressed as a girl raised eyebrows in Daveyton township in Gauteng where she grew up but Kgositsile Modisane (30) has always been comfortable in her skin. She’s transgender but prefers to identify as non-gender. “I’m a non-conformist,” she tells YOU. “I don’t see the world in black or white. It’s sad that people think you’ve got to be this or that – just be you, however that looks.” It’s this body confidence that’s seen her become the first non-gender ambassador for Lux, a huge achievement for someone who’s faced such discrimination. Joining the ranks of singer and TV…

THE last time HARPER BECKHAM made us say “aah” was when she presented her mother, Victoria (44), with a sweet, handmade book for Mother’s Day, thanking her for all her hard work. This time Daddy got the loving treatment on an outing in Los Angeles. The seven-year-old looked the picture of happiness as she laughed and skipped alongside a doting DAVID BECKHAM (43). Already more than half her father’s height, she showed off her style savvy by rocking a bright bandana tied around one ankle. We think it’s a look!…

MY JOURNEY started three andahalfyears ago when I had to leave home to study. Because of financial constraints it was the only option if I was to achieve my dream of becoming a psychiatric nurse. I found myself living an hour and a half away from home, with just weekends to spend with my special people. Having been spoilt by my parents, I had a mammoth task learning to fend for myself in a hostel. But instead of saying “I’m facing my greatest challenge,” I chose to say, “I’m living my greatest blessing.” I’m now four hours away from home and with just four months to go until I’m a qualified nurse. My experience has certainly taught me to appreciate the smaller things in life. We tend to get into…

To Devastated whose husband is dying (YOU Say, 4 April), you have a short time in which to say goodbye. He has the chance to see his family and say his farewells. Sadly I lost my beloved husband while I was talking to him. He said he wasn’t feeling so good and was going to lie down for a few minutes. It was a hot day and I offered him a cold drink. By the time I got the drink to him he was gone. He was a fit and active man even at the age of 80. We had a long and happy marriage and a loving family for which I’m very grateful. We travelled extensively and experienced much in our 40 years of marriage. I miss him tremendously…

IMAGINE a world in which your house is paid off by the age of 32 and you live a life that’s virtually debt-free – no overdrafts, credit cards maxed to the limit, store cards nor loans. And no more sleepless nights worrying how you’re going to pay it all off. For many 30-somethings it’s a scenario that’s hard to picture, which is why Moshala Matabane recently set Twitter abuzz. “Bond paid off,” the single mom tweeted in a post that quickly went viral. How on earth did she do it? Last year a First National Bank (FNB) survey contained the shocking revelation that more than 56% of middle-income consumers (defined as people with a gross monthly income of between R7 000 and R60 000) spend their entire monthly salary within…

Loadshedding becomes more bearable if you don’t have to scramble around at the last minute to make sure you can feed your family. Here are staples that will ensure nobody goes hungry. ■ Canned food such as various types of beans, chickpeas, lentils, tomatoes, whole-kernel corn, pilchards and tuna. ■ Rice, mealie meal or polenta, bulgur wheat, couscous and pasta – all of which are easy to cook on a gas stove. Also stock up on tortillas and pizza bases. ■ Tomato sauce, sweet chilli sauce and chutney often come in handy. ■ Fresh produce such as cabbage, garlic, onions, peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut and potatoes stay fresh for a while without being refrigerated. ■ Mince, chicken breast fillets and pork cubes cook quickly, either on a gas stove…

YOUR home is probably the most valuable asset you own so when it comes to selling it, you want to appoint an agent who’ll get the best price and sell it as quickly as possible. Agents know the game and will be able to give you invaluable help, but they also charge commission for their services. It’s a good idea to consult a few to establish their competency before you settle on one. These tips will help you decide. 1 BEFORE CHOOSING AN AGENT Make sure the agent is competent, legally registered and experienced in marketing property in your area. Always ask these questions: ▶ Can you show me proof of your Fidelity Fund Certificate? This document is proof the agent is licensed to practise and it has to…

Artistic roots She was born Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell. Her parents, Maggie and Patrick, are both actors and she has an older brother, Finneas, who’s her chief musical collaborator. Billie grew up in Los Angeles in the US and was home-schooled. “Home-schooling gave me time to actually realise what I wanted to do early on. Music was never a hobby. It was always there.” Break-out success Music became a career when she and Finneas uploaded a haunting pop song called Ocean Eyes to SoundCloud. Within 24 hours it went viral. Billie was just 13 at the time. Over the next few years, the siblings wrote and produced music in their bedrooms. The result? Her 14-track debut album – When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? – released…

US Horror. With Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke and Elizabeth Moss. Director: Jordan Peele. 16HLV. Many of us have wondered if somewhere in the world there’s someone who looks exactly like us – a doppelganger. What if that thought became a reality? This is the premise of the second film by Get Out writer-director Peele and once again he turns the horror genre on its head. In 1986 young Adelaide (Madison Curry) is on holiday with her parents at a beach resort when she encounters her doppelganger in a hall of mirrors. Fast-forward to the present, and Adelaide (Nyong’o) is married to Gabe (Duke from Black Panther) and is mom to Zora (Shahadi Wright Joseph) and Jason (Evan Alex). The family are on holiday with friends Kitty (Moss) and Tyler (Tim…

HE’S written six books in quick succession, each one doing better than the last. And Nthikeng (41) is nowhere near done. We catch up with the Johannesburg-based author to find out about his latest brilliant offering, Illumination. Tell us about Illumination. It’s the story of Bantubonke, a musical genius, composer, trumpeter and band leader. Its overarching themes are South African history, love and betrayal, and it’s a behind-the-scenes exploration of the creation of art. Art – particularly music – is a central theme in the book and the grand canvas onto which other themes, including friendship, loss and mortality, are painted, interwoven and explored. Who’s the novel aimed at? The book isn’t aimed at any particular reader to the exclusion of others, but intended for all people across social, cultural,…

If a loved one dies overseas the South African department of international relations and cooperation (Dirco) can provide logistical help and advice. It doesn’t provide financial assistance, although it can guide the family through the repatriation process. It can cost up to R250 000 to have a body repatriated and an import permit is needed. If a person died of non-infectious causes, the body needs to be embalmed within 24 hours. But not all countries have embalming facilities so the body must then be sealed in an airtight container and placed in a non-transparent coffin. If an infectious disease was the cause of death, the body must be placed in two polythene bags, then sealed inside an airtight container and placed in a sturdy non-transparent coffin. The coffin may not…

SHE’S best known as Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons – one of the most formidable female figures the small screen has ever seen. But away from the rolling cameras of hit TV show Game of Thrones, Emilia Clarke has faced her darkest battle yet. The 32-year-old British actress is a survivor of not one but two brain aneurysms – and the second nearly killed her. Emilia recently revealed her shock diagnosis in an open letter to US publication The New Yorker. She tells in harrowing detail how she suffered her first aneurysm in 2011 aged 24, shortly after filming season one of the fantasy drama. It happened during a gym session with her trainer in her native London. “The sensation was as…

British newcomer EMMA CORRIN has landed the role we reckon every young actress has coveted: The Crown’s young Princess Diana. But you’ll have to wait a while to see Emma in action as the Princess of Wales in the hit TV series. Her character won’t be making her debut until season four – the show’s third season will air later this year – and producers promise it’ll be worth the wait. “Emma’s a brilliant talent who immediately captivated us when she came in for the part of Diana Spencer,” says the show’s creator, Peter Morgan. Meanwhile, Emma (23) let her delight be known on Instagram, where she described herself as “overjoyed, over the moon and incredibly honoured”. “Princess Diana was an icon, and her effect on the world remains profound…
