I’M LUCKY to have grown up in a home with two parents, both of whom gave me and my siblings heaps of love and support. But I’ve heard enough horror stories over the years – including from YOU readers – about people who dodge their responsibilities when it comes to paying maintenance for their kids to know that it’s deeply destructive. It’s often women who struggle to get their partners to pay and it’s an uphill battle, as we’ve reported many times over the years. And it’s often not for fancy things – it’s for basics such as food, education, housing, clothing and medical bills. I can’t get my head around someone who’d be like that when it comes to caring for their kids but it’s an unfortunate truth that…

Riëtte Oosthuizen, a family law practitioner from Pretoria, says the husband, wife or spouse (including gay or lesbian partners) brings the application in terms of Rule 43 of the Supreme Court Act 59 of 1959. “It’s brought by way of an affidavit where you explain under oath to the court why you cannot wait for the divorce to be finalised before you get relief,” she says. The applicant can also set out what type of relief they’re seeking, for example maintenance for themselves, maintenance for children, the residence of the children, contact rights with the children, a cost contribution and so on. Oosthuizen says recently a court ordered in terms of a Rule 43 application that the one party must in the interim contribute towards the legal costs of the…

Paul Salopek’s great trek began in Herto Bouri in Ethiopia’s Great Rift Valley in January 2013. The oldest Homo sapiens fossil, dating back 160 000 years to the Stone Age, was found here. From the Rift Valley he travelled with nomads to the Red Sea, then northwards along Arabia’s western coastline into the From Alaska, Paul will travel south through the “New World” – sticking to the western coastline of North and South America all the way down to Tierra del Fuego, where Chile and Argentina meet. This was the last continental outpost our prehistoric forebears reached roughly 12 000 years ago. Middle East. From there, he travelled eastwards through eastern Europe, and by mid-June he’d reached the jungle hills of northeastern India. Next on his itinerary are the steppes…

We asked our panel of experts to share the life skills today’s kids need most to survive. ■ Emotional intelligence “Showing children how to deal with negative emotions is often a big learning area for the kids we see,” says Johannesburg life coach Dominique Brits. ■ Resilience “Setbacks are inevitable and children need to be taught the skills for building resilience so they’re able to bounce back,” says Zelna Lauwrens, a certified kids life coach and author of The Secret Parent. ■ Effective time management “Many of our clients struggle to prioritise and lack practical skills to plan,” say Kiera Mawing and Duane Lew of Winning Edge, a Joburgbased organisation that specialises in life coaching for kids. ■ Confidence They aim to get kids to think of their own solutions…

ALL EYES will turn skykwards this month to mark the 50th anniversary of the iconic landing of the Apollo 11 crew on the moon on 20 July 1969. Although the “space race” is traditionally associated with America and Russia, South Africa has made a few vital contributions, such as the Salt and Ska telescopes, and the Stellenbosch University nanosatellite which will head to space sometime in the future. And here are three pioneering South Africans who’ve also made their mark: Mark Shuttleworth Space used to be the purview of super-powers, but that all changed on 25 April 2002, when billionaire software developer Mark Shuttle-worth became the first South African to go to space, and only the second self-funded space tourist in the world. Shuttleworth launched aboard the Russian Soyuz TM-34…

HE’S a former journalist, folk singer and attorney – but to his millions of fans around the world Jeffery Deaver (69) is best known as the author of 35 gripping novels, including the bestselling Lincoln Rhyme series. And now with his latest offering, The Never Game, he’s kicked off an intriguing new series about an eccentric wanderer, Colter Shaw. In this interview the much-loved author gives fans a sneak peek into his life and what makes him tick. Ten words to sum up your working life to date . . .

IN THEIR final family photograph Raymond Buys looks as awkward as any 15-year-old boy standing next to his mother. He’s nearly 1,8 metres tall and the sun glints off his newly cropped blond hair. Wilna Buys pulls her son close, knowing there are only minutes before she must send him through the gates behind them into Echo Wild Game Rangers camp. An electric fence can be seen in the background. Raymond narrows his eyes, maybe at the sun, maybe at the man taking the picture – Gys Nezar, his mother’s boyfriend. Nobody smiles for the camera. It’s 12 January 2011. This place is supposed to be a fresh start. Raymond, who was diagnosed with learning difficulties at age nine, has been removed from yet another school. Wilna can’t cope. The…

Mommy and me! It’s one of the perks of motherhood – being able to dress up your mini-me. TV and radio presenter ROXY BURGER has been treating her Instagram followers to a string of adorable #MommyAndMe posts, which see her and 17-month-old daughter ADRIENNE posing in matching outfits. From winter warmers to similar swimming cozzies on holiday in Greece, this mommy-and-daughter duo are a class act. “I do love dressing her up so why not enjoy my love of it with her?” Roxy (32) tells YOU. “I hope she enjoys it just as much as I do one day.” Judging by the grin on Adrienne’s face we’d say she’s already hooked on fashion – just like her trendy mom. Justin’s little angel Baby makes three for Blitzbok JUSTIN GEDULD (25)…

Oops, we did it again and totally Faf-ed up another world cup. With no Miller time, no Duminy to pray for us and no Aiden and abetting it was Chris-tal clear we were on a hiding to nothing. Hash-tag we’re stuck with being Pro-tears for another four years. KEITH, EMAIL The Proteas wouldn’t let AB de Villiers play in the world cup. He’s a game-changer. AB, you’re still my favourite. AB FAN, KZN In the early ’90s it was obvious we were abusing our planet and yet, after 20-odd years, nothing has been done to reverse our mess. Humans are the most destructive species.

“The Royal Foundation will become the principal charitable and philanthropic vehicle for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge,” was how Buckingham Palace announced it. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will establish their own new charitable foundation with transitional operating support from the Royal Foundation.” Yet another sign of division and dissent, royal watchers said – and what happened a day later only cemented their sentiments. Prince William celebrated his 37th birthday amid an outpouring of good wishes from near and far. His dad, Prince Charles, shared a cute snap of his firstborn playing in the Kensington Palace gardens on his second birthday. Even his uncle Prince Andrew made an effort and posted a vintage photo of his nephew. But his brother and sister-in-law? All they could manage was “Happy…

FOR three-and-a half years she waited patiently. And when her case was eventually finalised, the relief was so overwhelming she walked outside and started screaming, tears streaming down her cheeks as she gave way to bottled-up tension. Yet victory was bittersweet for Louise Prinsloo (38). The court has ruled in her favour – but that won’t stop the possibility of her beloved little boy going completely blind one day. Renier van Aswegen (6) was diagnosed with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a preventable retinal disease that affects premature babies and can result in blindness if the child is exposed to high concentrations of oxygen and the necessary treatment isn’t provided in time. In Renier’s case, he was exposed to too much oxygen after birth and crucial screenings weren’t done to prevent…

FOR more than two decades she’s sat on the bench in her black robe and lacy collar, bellowing words such as “baloney” and banging her gavel with quiver-inducing force. And her withering brand of justice – which often involves reducing claimants and defendants to nervous wrecks – has worked well for Judy Sheindlin, the formidable woman better known as Judge Judy. It’s worked very well indeed. In 23 years on TV she’s won three Emmys, including a lifetime achievement gong at the recent Annual Daytime Emmy Awards. “Daytime television wouldn’t be what it is today without Judy Sheindlin,” David Michaels, senior vice-president and executive producer of the Emmys, said at the event. “Judge Judy redefined and reinvigorated the courtroom format, propelling the genre to new heights.” It’s made her one…

HOW CAN I GET RID OF THIS LEECH IN MY MARRIAGE? Q My husband is essentially a boarder in our home – he only eats and sleeps here. He spends his evenings texting a female colleague until late into the night on the pretext of research. This 35-year-old colleague has weaselled herself into our family life. On weekends she even stays over at our house – something my husband manipulated me into – because her husband travels a lot for business. My husband says he could be over at her place instead but he’s not. It’s a small consolation but I’ve reached the end of my patience. I’ve spoken to him about setting boundaries but he says he’s the only one with the expertise to help with her research. I…

CANCER 21 JUNE – 21 JULY Your love-life could determine your mood Your personal relationship seems to be playing with your mood this week.

DOOM DAYS Contrary to its title, Doom Days is about finding release, says frontman Dan Smith (32). “We wanted it to be really direct and talk about trying to find escapism from our modern anxieties – phone addiction, porn addiction, fake news addiction, climate change denial . . .” A type of concept album, it’s about a colourful night at a party “with a small dose of madness”, and each song is set at a specific time of the night. MARSHMELLO COLLAB The British band famously teamed up with hotshot American producer Marshmello on their hit single Happier. Dan wrote the track and credits its popularity to the fact that it’s “super personal and very direct”. After hearing a few Marshmello tracks he sent him the beginning of Happier. “There…

Colter, the son of a survivalist family, is an expert tracker. Genius-level smart, he soon realises Sophie has been kidnapped and that the kidnapper’s actions mirror that of a videogame called The Whispering Man. In this game the player must find a way to survive after being dumped and left in an inhospitable setting. Now the game has been brought to life in a horrifying way. The Never Game is the first in a…

Cricket is a ball-and-bat game between two teams of 11 players each. The aim is to score more points (runs) than the other team. A match is divided into innings. During an innings, one team gets the chance to bowl (pitch the ball) while the other team bats (hits the ball) and guards its wickets. When a bowler has pitched six balls at a batsman, he’s completed an over, and another bowler gets a turn. Two players of the batting team try to make as many runs between the two wickets until one of them is caught out, either by a fielder catching a ball the batsman has hit or by the bowler hitting the batsman’s wicket with the ball, causing the bails to fall off. That player is replaced…

IN MANY parts of the world great shame and stigma are attached to this skin condition which causes pale spots and patches to develop all over sufferers’ bodies. Yet Reatile Moalusi doesn’t see vitiligo, an autoimmune disease, as a physical imperfection. He sees it as inspiration for beautiful art. Reatile, a photographer from Roodepoort on Gauteng’s West Rand, has made it his mission to debunk myths about the condition. His recent solo exhibition, Molelo wa Badimo (Fire of the Gods), at Johannesburg’s Absa Gallery received rave reviews. But he’s not in it for personal recognition, Reatile tells YOU. The 36-year-old, who describes himself as a social awareness photographer, says he wants to bring change through riveting photography. From people living with disabilities to those in pursuit of physical perfection, his…

Ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia cleft lip/palate (EEC) syndrome – otherwise referred to as split hand-split foot EEC – is a rare genetic disorder resulting in abnormalities of the extremities, where part or all the fingers or toes are missing, often along with a cleft lip and cleft palate. People with the syndrome can also develop abnormalities of the urinary system and the eyes. Skin, hair, teeth and sweat glands can also be affected. Skin may be dry, discoloured and itchy. Those living with the condition tend to be fair-skinned and have sparse, coarse hair. Eyelashes or eyebrows may also be sparse or missing.…

ANYONE familiar with GWYNETH PALTROW knows she never does things by the book. Remember her conscious uncoupling from rocker Chris Martin back in 2014? So it should come as no shock that she’s doing marriage number two on her own terms. The Oscar-winning actress and founder of the wonderfully wacky Goop lifestyle empire wed TV producer BRAD FALCHUK (48) last year and recently revealed they don’t live together full time. Instead, he stays with Gwyneth (46) four nights a week and spends the rest of his time at his home with his children, ISABELLA and BRODY, whom he shares with his TV producer ex-wife, Suzanne Bukinik. “All my married friends say that the way we live sounds ideal and we shouldn’t change a thing,” Gwynnie says. Even her intimacy coach…

‘I have deep respect for the significance of the kimono’KIM KARDASHIAN She might have thought it a clever play on her name, but KIM KARDASHIAN is in hot water over naming her new underwear brand Kimono Solutionwear. While her rabid Instagram following raved about the new range, folks in Japan are decidedly unimpressed that she’s appropriated the name of their national dress. Not only did Kim (38) receive a massive backlash on Twitter, but Daisaku Kadokawa, the mayor of Kyoto, asked the reality TV star to reconsider the name. “I’m writing this letter to ask you to reconsider your decision of using the name kimono in your trademark,” Daisaku said in a letter published on the city of Kyoto’s official website. “Kimono is a traditional ethnic dress fostered in our…

All right, all right, all right! MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY was recently spotted vacationing with his family in Greece. And although the 49-year-old actor isn’t hitting the gym as much as he used to, his “dad bod’” isn’t too bad. Welcome back, Kylie! KYLIE MINOGUE (51) put on a powerful performance when she recently headlined the famed Glastonbury Festival in the UK for the first time. During her triumphant 75-minute set, the pop star became overwhelmed with emotion as she talked about cancelling her 2005 headline performance at the festival following her breast cancer diagnosis. ‘I wished things were different, but life is what it is’ Kylie, is that you? As head honcho of makeup empire Kylie Cosmetics, KYLIE JENNER is usually lipsticked and mascaraed to the hilt. But a sneak pic…

AFTER losing my friend who was hijacked and murdered, I was broken. I still am. It’s made me think a lot. It hit me really hard that I never thanked him. We were playful, calling each other stupid names and making fun of each other. Through all of that, I forgot to just sit him down, look into his eyes and say thank you. I wish I’d told him how thankful I am he was part of my life. The bond we shared was beyond friendship. He was family to me. We grew up together. All my childhood memories have that one constant person who played with my every toy. I was the only child at home but I didn’t even realise it. We held hands when we went to…

She’s far too discreet and decorous for that. But the Duchess of Cambridge is no pushover – and there are signs she’s playing a subtle yet ever-so-stylish game. Recent pictures of Kate show a definite shift in the fashion stakes. Nude heels and trusty wedges have given way to sleek heels – and even a pair of silver Jimmy Choos. Her hemline has dropped from just about the knee to flattering mid-calf. She still wears her beloved skinny jeans but her casual-wear wardrobe now includes on-point wide-leg trousers too. That hard eyeliner is now flatteringly smudged and her hair has gone from bouncy curls to sleek and styled, often in an “imposing side chignon few women could wear as well as she does,” the Telegraph’s Lisa Armstrong says. “Kate gets…

Paul has had several near-misses and many highlights so far. “The world, by and large, is a hospitable place,” he says. Yet it can be hostile too. ■ In Ethiopia’s arid Afar Triangle he discovered the bodies of African migrants who’d died of thirst while trekking to seek work on the Arabian Peninsula. ■ When he crossed the West Bank, he was caught in a skirmish between the Israelis and Palestinians – a bullet hit the ground right in front of him. ■ He was detained in more than one country – in authoritarian Uzbekistan alone it happened 34 times.…

Pick a blazer in a striking colour such as green. It’s a great staple piece that brings your look together. Match it with green shorts for a fun and flirty look. This striking red wrap blouse accentuates your bust and flatters your curves with its ruched waistline. The cut of this dress is great for fuller figures. The high waist accentuates the bust and, with the tapered skirt, creates an hourglass figure. When wearing subdued colours, add texture to your look with a faux fur jacket. It adds depth to your outfit. This high-waisted A-line skirt creates a flattering hourglass shape by cinching the waist and accentuating curves. A floppy bow at the neck is feminine and flirty. If you have a full bust, replace it with a soft knot.…

THERE’S nothing quite like the welcome from your delighted dog when you get home, or that cosy bundle of kitty to cuddle with on a chilly night. No doubt about it, pets add huge value to your life – but if their health suffers they can also cut a sizeable chunk out of your monthly budget. A broken leg or cataract surgery could easily set you back R15 000 to R20 000. If your pet is hit by a car, you might have to fork out up to R40 000 to save their life. And then there’s sterilisation, which costs in the region of R2 500. That’s why more and more pet owners are considering medical cover for their animals. Here’s everything you need to know. WHO’S COVERED? Because dogs…

LEGENDARY TYGA The rapper had no plans to release an album this year but did so after fans demanded one. “People were like ‘We want an album!’ So I was, like, let me drop it for the summer.” It includes bangers Taste with Offset and Haute with J Balvin and Chris Brown. Other featured artists are Lil Wayne (On Me) and Swae Lee (Vibrate). – DENNIS CAVERNELIS TIM AVICII This is the album the Swedish DJ (Tim Bergling) was working on before his tragic death last year – and it’s brilliant. It features Aloe Blacc on the first single, SOS, Chris Martin on Heaven and Imagine Dragons on Heart upon My Sleeve. All proceeds from album sales go towards the Tim Bergling Foundation, set up by his family after his…

SECOND ACT Comedy. The trailer for this Jennifer Lopez flick is rather misleading. It’s set up as a workplace comedy, with J Lo as a middle-aged shop manager who lands herself a corporate job after, well, lying about her qualifications. Her years of experience make her more than capable of doing the job, but it looks like she’ll be butting heads with a younger colleague (Vanessa Hudgens). That’s when things take an unexpected, and surprisingly moving, turn as the film’s focus shifts to the relationship – not the rivalry – between the two women. – DENNIS CAVERNELIS 2018. 103 MIN. 16L. ALSO OUT ON DVD. FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD Fantasy adventure. In 1927 Professor Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) tasks magi-zoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) with travelling to Paris to…

FOR more than a month cricket fans have been glued to their TV screens to take in all the action in the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup taking place in England and Wales. The final of the championship will be played on 14 July at what’s fondly known as the home of cricket – Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. The first world cup final took place here in 1975 and this year’s will be the fifth final played at this venue. A FIRST FOR THE GAME Lord’s is referred to as the home of cricket because it was the first structure built specifically for playing the game. The venue was named after its founder, Thomas Lord. Lord’s, with its 28 000 seats, isn’t on the same cricket ground as the…

A DISHEVELLED man walks down a New York street, his clothes ill-fitting, his fingernails long and grubby and his T-shirt bearing the mark of what could have been his last meal. It’s hard to believe this rather shabby, nondescript figure was once one of Hollywood’s bright young things and part of a cast that changed the sitcom world forever. For 10 years Matthew Perry played Chandler Bing on Friends, and everybody who loved Friends loved Chandler. Acerbic of wit, kind of nature, loyal to Joey, in love with Monica and a bit of a wimp at times, Chandler was – well, Chandler. He was great. There are even websites devoted to Why Chandler Is the Best Character on Friends. But today there’s little resemblance to the bright-eyed, slim-hipped guy who…

FABULOUS venues, star-studded guest lists, glamour galore and chilled champagne to ward off the blistering heat. All this and more was on the cards when two A-list showbiz couples pledged eternal love under cloudless French skies. Singer Joe Jonas married actress Sophie Turner after a week filled with swanky soirées, while Zoë Kravitz’s nuptials to fellow actor Karl Glusman looked like a reunion of her Big Little Lies cast-mates – and a who’s who of Hollywood. For both couples it was the second trip down the aisle, having wed in low-key ceremonies in May. But those were just the formalities. The French festivities were the main attraction. Zoë Kravitz and Karl Glusman Their official wedding was a private civil ceremony but the pair promised a bigger bash would be held…

“I had a threesome once. I was very, very young. I didn’t like it. It just didn’t have the same level of intimacy, but I tried it once and I was like, ‘Well, that’s not for me’ ” – Host of Red Table Talk JADA PINKETT SMITH (47) “I swore I wasn’t going to be that mom who has a crazy big first birthday party for my kid. But it was bigger than our wedding. Black tie optional” – Actress EVA LONGORIA (44) on the recent first birthday party of her son, Santiago. “Seven is a lucky number, and a psychic once told me that I’m going to have seven children, so who knows?” – Pop icon MADONNA (60) on the possibility of adding to her brood “We shook hands,…

Actress PAMELA ANDERSON (52) isn’t keeping her breakup with soccer player ADIL RAMI (33) quiet. In fact she’s come out all guns blazing. The Baywatch star recently took to Instagram to announce her split from the Frenchman after two years of dating. “I was scammed, led to believe we were in big love. I’m devastated to find out in the last few days that he was living a double life,” Pam ranted in a caption below a picture of the pair looking very in love. She later published emails she exchanged with Adil’s ex SIDONIE BIÉMONT (37), with whom he has three-year-old twins ZAYN and MADI. In the exchange the French fashion designer told Pam she and Adil continued to have a sexual relationship, and that he told her his…
