Who agrees that we should have a Thuli Madonsela Street? Actually, forget that, let’s make it a freeway! THULI WE OWE YOU, EMAIL I’m so disappointed in your article headline “It’s OK to be me, me, me!” (YOU, 6 October). There’s a huge difference between loving yourself and being a narcissist. A narcissist has little or no self-esteem, thrives on the praise of others and manipulates people. ANDRE SMITH, YOU FACEBOOK I thought you might enjoy this picture of my Yorkie Monty, reading his favouritemagazine whilewearinghis Granny’s glasses. MANDY KEATS, EMAIL I was pleasantly surprised to see four pages of book reviews in YOU (8 October). The reviews were thorough and well written. Thanks, and well done! GILLIAN KRUMMECK, YOU FACEBOOK I fully agree with Irritated’s SMS about Trending SA…

I HATE MY LOOKS BUT I CAN’T STOP EATING Q I’m 15 and insecure about my weight. I weigh 40 kg and I hate it as I’ve always been petite. I’ve gained a lot of weight because of stress and anxiety. I eat until my stomach hurts. I used to be an extremely slow eater, which is why I was always thin, and I liked it. Food satisfied me then. But now I just eat and eat all the time – when I’m bored, when I’m stressed, even when I’m stuffed and it makes me feel horrible. I don’t want to admit to anyone that I want to lose weight because I’ve tried telling my mom and dad and they just say I’m fine. But I hate what my body…

IT GETS WORSE At a nursing home a group of seniors are sitting around talking about their various ailments. “My arms have become so weak I can hardly lift this cup of coffee,” one says. “Yes, I know,” another says. “My cataracts are so bad I can’t even see my coffee.” “My hands are so crippled I couldn’t even mark an ‘X’ at election time,” volunteers a third. “What? Speak up! What? I can’t hear you!” a fourth old-timer chips in. “I can’t turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck,” a fifth says. Several of the others nod weakly in agreement. “My blood pressure pills make me so dizzy I can hardly walk,” one pipes up. “I forget where I am or where I’m going,” an elderly…

IN A medical emergency, medical personnel and paramedics are sent to the scene where they cooperate with the fire brigade and police to bring the situation under control. The paramedics assess the condition of patients and provide immediate medical care, after which they take patients by ambulance to a medical facility such as a hospital for further treatment. It’s the medical personnel’s responsibility to stabilise patients to ensure they survive until they get to a hospital. Each of South Africa’s provinces provides ambulance services that are supplemented by private ambulance services such as NetCare911 and ER24. The Red Cross Air Mercy Service provides a service to patients who need be taken to hospital by helicopter. FIREFIGHTERS When a fire breaks out, firefighters are sent to the scene to fight the…

With the stakes so high in the English Premier League the pressure is immense on managers to succeed. The turnover rate is remarkable: nine of the current 20 managers have been in their job for less than six months and only one – Arsenal’s Arsène Wenger (67), with 20 years’ service – has been in the same job for more than four years. We rate José’s rivals. THE COMPETITION PEP GUARDIOLA (45) Manchester City A decorated player, the Spaniard has sprinkled stardust wherever he’s gone as manager. His team are at the top part of the table. (9/10) JÜRGEN KLOPP (49) Liverpool In his second season at Anfield the German has the Reds dreaming of their first English Premier League title. His team play with passion, pace and precision, and…

DESPERATELY SEEKING WORK I’m a 41-year-old white man who was retrenched last year from a big mining company. Even though I’m a qualified electrician I still haven’t been able to secure any work. In fact I’ve had only six replies from the 300-plus companies I’ve sent my CV to. I’ve been told either that the vacancy is an affirmative action position or that I’m too old. But I don’t want to start a debate that won’t end unless we truly have a rainbow nation with no racism. I’d really like to find out why there’s no work out there for a guy like me. I enjoy working with people, not just with equipment. To see someone’s face when I’ve repaired something of theirs that they really need or want is…

I’m so glad it’s not only me who’s irritated with the problem of getting a responsible, live human being to talk to when a query needs to be sorted out (YOU Say, 27 October). After three hours of trying to cancel a cellphone contract I still didn’t get through to someone who could help me. In the end to resolve the problem we had to drive from the East Rand to Midrand, wasting valuable time and fuel, when the problem could easily have been resolved by telephone. Shock upon shock, when we arrived at the head office of the cellphone company and asked to see a manager who could help us, we were told that managers don’t deal with customers. Really? What are they there for then? They can’t see…

HE OFTEN makes headlines in the run-up to the festive season by releasing a new album in time for Christmas. And the Canadian crooner is in the news again as the world prepares to celebrate the end-of-year holidays – except this time there’s nothing joyous about it. Michael Bublé fans around the globe were shocked when news emerged that his three-year-old son, Noah – the eldest of his two sons – had been diagnosed with cancer, a tragic development the 41-year-old star elaborated on in a Face-book message. “We are devastated about the recent cancer diagnosis of our oldest son, Noah, who’s currently undergoing treatment in the US,” he said. He and his wife, Luisana (29), an Argentinian model and actress, have put their careers on hold “in order to…

By all means marry. If you get a good wife you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one you’ll become a philosopher – GREEK PHILOSOPHER SOCRATES AFTER THE HONEYMOON Consider your marriage contract carefully before you wed. What if one of you runs up huge debt? What would you inherit should your partner die? And if you were to divorce, how would your possessions be divided? These are the questions you have to address before signing. We look at the three kinds of contracts: in community of property, out of community of property without accrual and out of community of property with accrual. IN COMMUNITY OF PROPERTY This means all your possessions – everything you separately bring into the marriage as well as whatever you accrue afterwards…

HER BACKSTORY She was born in Vincenza, Italy – her dad, Richard, was in the military and was stationed there and she’s the fourth of seven children. Amy was raised in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and religion played a big role in her life. “My parents were good Mormons, and church was an important part of our social interactions,” she says. When she was eight her parents settled in Colorado in America but three years later they divorced. Her mom, Kathryn, moved in with her lesbian lover and became a semiprofessional bodybuilder while her dad started working as a singer in restaurants. Amy, a trained dancer and singer, took refuge in performing and after high school worked in musical theatre for years before breaking into film.…

FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS IN LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS: SAGITTARIUS . . . Makes for a fun-loving lover and a generous spouse. Needs freedom and space in their relationship.

GIRLS Go natural Take inspiration from actress ZENDAYA: ditch the straighteners and blow-drying for cute curls or plaits. Plus it’s low-maintenance if you’re swimming. Sleek and chic Fight the frizz like model BELLA HADID with a simple, sleek ponytail. A high bun is just as super-chic and low-maintenance. SPLURGE on hair oil – it’s so hot right now and you can take your pick from argan to grapeseed oil. Or SAVE bucks and buy good old coconut oil to use as a hair mask before washing or to moisturise afterwards. GUYS Take your cue from singer ZAYN MALIK with the ultra-cool short on the sides and long on top mane or opt for a mini Afro like actor MICHAEL B JORDAN.…

AS A child she’d take the sleeve out of her grandmother’s cassette cases so she could read the lyrics and sing along. “I was always singing and I remember my granny asked me, ‘Do you want to do this for a living?’ ” Noluvuyiso Mpofu says. “I said yes, and she told me to pray for it.” Well, her prayers have been answered – and then some. The 25-year-old Port Elizabeth beauty is being hailed as one of the most promising opera singers in the world, never mind South Africa. Noluvuyiso has just performed the role of Micaela in the opera Carmen at the Artscape theatre in Cape Town – which earned her a standing ovation night after night – and says the past two years have been a blur.…

CATE PUT ON A LOVING SHOW WITH HER SONS ACROSS THE GLOBE IS CATE BLANCHETT’s 19-year marriage in trouble? The 47-year-old’s husband, ANDREW UPTON (50), raised eyebrows recently when he was spotted looking rather cosy with fellow Aussie HARRIET DYER (27). Andrew and Harriet, who’ve previously worked together, were seen leaving a bar together in Sydney, with the theatre director and playwright draping his arm around the pretty blonde actress, who had her hand on his chest. Onlookers described the pair as looking very close inside the bar where they played pool with pals. Since the pictures emerged Andrew has gone on record as saying their relationship is strictly platonic. “We’ve been friends for years; she’s a good friend.” Meanwhile halfway across the globe in New York, Cate was seen…

We’re not sure if she was tipsy or just desperate for attention but MADONNA (58) put on quite a display at a recent exhibition in London featuring snaps of her from magazine shoots. Dressed in head-to-toe black leather, the pop star looked a tad ridiculous as she rolled around on the floor while clutching a glass of wine. In between writhing around, the mom of four lay on the floor and played on her phone as bemused guests looked on. Can someone puhlease just tell Madge to stop, er, expressing herself!…

RYAN REYNOLDS (40) recently got himself into trouble with wife Blake Lively (29) when he accidentally revealed the sex of their second child. Speaking on a talk show, the Criminal actor, who also has a 23-month-old daughter, James, with the privacy-conscious actress, blurted out that there’s “a lot of oestrogen in the house”, adding, “It’s like an American Girl doll took a s**t on my life.” The Shallows actress later took to social media to post a picture of a chocolate chip brownie and a glass of milk he’d brought her as a peace offering. Looks as if model SOFIA RICHIE (18) has set her sights on Brooklyn Beckham (17). The daughter of Lionel Richie was spotted on a midnight stroll on Halloween in Los Angeles with the son of…

LESSONS FROM A LOST FRIEND I RECENTLY lost a friend in a horrifying way when she was shot by her boyfriend. That fateful afternoon, I was with her two hours before she was killed and she didn’t show any signs of stress. She was an ever-smiling girl who was loving, caring and friendly. That day we were giggling to each other before we high-fived in farewell. Nothing could prepare me for the sad news later that evening. The news of her passing has left me confused and devastated. My friend never complained about her boyfriend of three years. I thought they were happy. I’m still mourning my friend and this has taught me a few things about life. I now realise some people put on a brave face and never…

‘Harry swept her off her feet’ IT ALL started with a picture she posted of herself wearing a bracelet: a simple white, blue and black collection of beads. Nothing remarkable about that, you may think – except that the band is almost identical to one a certain carrot-topped character wears around his royal wrist. And that was enough for the media on both sides of the Atlantic to whip themselves into a whirl of excitement. It’s safe to say the life of this American actress will never be the same again – at least, not while she’s believed to have captured the heart of one of the most eligible bachelors in the world. Meghan Markle is the latest love interest of Prince Harry, the overseas media believe, and every day…

JOIN in the laid-back mood because much of the meal can be prepped in advance. The tartlets can be made ahead of time. Prepare the iced tea then add sparkling water just before serving. Store the bruschettas in an airtight container, add just enough lemon juice to the avo and quickly assemble the snacks at the last minute. That leaves the calamari, which is quick to cook while guests are there. ICED EARL GREY TEA MAKES ABOUT 1,5 LITRES Preparation: 10 min Chilling: 20 min 1 litre (4 c) Earl Grey rooibos tea, made with 6 teabags sugar (optional) ½ cucumber, sliced handful of fresh basil and mint, crushed frozen berries or lemon slices ice sparkling water 1 Let the tea infuse until cool. Squeeze out the teabags and discard.…

1 What does an antenuptial contract cost? The contract is drawn up by a notary and the cost usually ranges from R2 000 to R2 500, Sunél Beeselaar of SP Beeselaar Attorneys says. 2 Can I change the contract later? You’d both have to agree to the change and apply to a high court to have a new contract registered. You’d have to explain why you want the change and prove no one would be disadvantaged by it. 3 Is accrual automatically included? Yes, unless the antenuptial contract stipulates otherwise. If you want to get married out of community of property without accrual you must insist it’s indicated in the contract. 4 What’s my estate? It includes your assets as well as your debts. Your assets are your possessions such…

OPENING LINES “This may be hard to believe, coming from a black man, but I’ve never stolen anything. Never cheated on my taxes or at cards. Never snuck into the movies or failed to give back the extra change to a drugstore cashier indifferent to the ways of mercantilism and minimum-wage expectations.” HIS manuscript was rejected 18 times before he finally found someone willing to handle it. Those 18 publishers considered the subject matter too shocking and worried the book wouldn’t sell. Bet they’ve been kicking themselves since the news broke that Paul Beatty has been awarded this year’s Man Booker Prize for the novel they were too squeamish to touch. The Sellout, a searing satire on race relations, was the unanimous winner from the six shortlisted titles, making Beatty…

This time last year she was a relatively unknown singer – now the British songstress is selling out gigs in the UK and working on her debut album (due to drop in February), while her latest single, Blow Your Mind (Mwah), is burning up charts! 1 Dua (21) is already getting some major recognition –Forbes magazine predicts she’ll become the next big pop star, and she was one of 15 artists featured on the BBC’s Sound Of 2016 – an annual poll of music critics and industry figures that lists the most promising new musical talent. Previous names on the list include Sam Smith, Jessie J and Ellie Goulding. 2 She’s a hard worker! Born in London to Kosovar-Albanian parents, she and her family moved back to Kosovo when she…

TWO’S BETTER THAN ONE Ben (22) plays Max Steel, a superhero who’s in fact two entities combined. Max is an ordinary teenage boy while Steel is his alien partner. “What makes them unique and what makes it different from every other superhero is if Max didn’t have Steel, Max wouldn’t be a superhero,” Ben says. WHERE’S THAT SPARK? Ben and Max Steel co-star Ana Villafañe (27) admit developing on-screen chemistry wasn’t easy. Although they met before going on set, the actors found it awkward to be lovey-dovey. “It was awful; it was terrible!” Ben says of their first romantic scene. NO SWEAT! The hour-long process of getting into Max Steel’s suit was probably the hardest part of the film, Ben says. His role required months of physical training, including learning…

‘Ever since I got married and became a father I haven’t lost many matches’ – NOVAK DJOKOVIC When he isn’t competing for Grand Slam titles NOVAK DJOKOVIC (29) is focused on just one thing: spending time with his wife, JELENA (30), and son, STEFAN (2). The trio were spotted holidaying in Marbella, Spain, recently. In between playing with his son, who’d just celebrated his second birthday, Novak was seen doing yoga with his childhood sweetheart, whom he married in July 2014.…

‘I don’t meet a lot of guys I want to go on a date with’ – JENNIFER LAWRENCE At last the snaps that prove the rumours are true – JENNIFER LAWRENCE (26) is indeed dating DARREN ARONOFSKY (47). The actress and the film director were recently snapped holding hands and kissing during a stroll in New York. The X-Men: Apocalypse star looked happy and relaxed next to the casually dressed director, who’s known for helming the Oscar-winning Black Swan and the blockbuster Noah. The two apparently grew close while working on the upcoming film Mother, which Darren directed. Jennifer is said to be more relaxed with Darren than she was with her previous boyfriend, Coldplay’s Chris Martin (39). “She struggled when she dated Chris and seemed stressed out,” a source…

TAYLOR SWIFT A US publication has hit the stands claiming the pop star is expecting a baby. “Taylor Shocker! Pregnant! Who’s the dad?” screamed the cover of OK! magazine alongside a pic of the singer in an LBD sporting a supposed “bump”. But it appears to be untrue as Tay-Tay flashed her flat abs in a semi-sheer gown at the recent CMA Awards. KHLOÉ KARDASHIAN Rumours were flying that the reality TV star was “so happy” to be having her first child with her boyfriend, Canadian basketball player Tristan Thompson (25). But Khloé’s camp quickly shut the story down, saying it’s “completely fabricated and untrue”. Khloé (32) was also seen drinking at sister Kendall’s 21st recently.…
