THERE’S never a good time to put up our cover price and it feels even harder now as we deal with the effects of lockdown. But the unfortunate reality is we have to increase our price, as we do every year, to help bring you incredible content. The good news, though, is we’re making the expanded puzzle section a permanent fixture. We’ve received so many great reviews about our bonus puzzles during lockdown that we decided to keep it from here on out. We’re also expanding our kids’ pages to include a wonderful new section for curious young minds. It’s filled with interesting things about the world – all age-appropriate for smart little ones. For fans of our TV pages, I know it’s been tough without them but they’ll return…

Thanks, YOU, for the extra puzzles! I would’ve gone mad without them! LINDA, DURBANVILLE Thank you for your amazing recipes and crosswords. I’ve used a lot of your recipes to be more creative in these times – my Covid-19 cooking! I’ve torn out the children’s sections and sent to my grandsons here in Harare. I really believe God is putting mankind “back in its box” and making us all reflect and reconsider our way of life. Warm wishes from Zimbabwe. KERRY KAY, EMAIL Thank you, thank you, thank you for still being on the shelves during lockdown. BEV G, SMS Just a short note: YOU Blockbusters issue 23 was bought for me just before the lockdown. It was, and is, a lifesaver! I’ve learnt so many new words too. GRATEFUL,…

According to the department of health and the World Health Organisation, this is the best way to ensure protection when wearing cloth masks: ■ The mask must cover the nose and mouth completely – there should be no gaps between your face and the mask. ■ Masks shouldn’t be lowered when speaking, coughing or sneezing. ■ Don’t touch your mask – remember, we need to avoid touching our faces and that includes when it’s covered by a mask. Never touch the inner side of your mask or you could be transferring germs from your hands onto the fabric. ■ Wash your hands well before and after putting on or removing the mask. Remember the golden rule – wash your hands for as long as it takes to sing Happy Birthday…

Blogger SUE DUMINY What does beauty mean to you? It’s when inner beauty –kindness; selflessness; having a soft, patient heart – meets outer beauty – a woman who takes care of herself and carries herself with grace, confidence and sophistication. How has your beauty regimen changed since you became a mom? I’ve started to focus more on taking extra care of my skin. Instead of trying to do everything as quickly as possible, I try to spend a bit more time – as well as using good-quality products – on my skin. What’s the one beauty item you can’t go a day without? My eyelash extensions! How has the lockdown affected your beauty routine? I’ve taken this time to give my skin and body a complete rest. I’ve removed my…

THE heartrending stories are coming through thick and fast. People who’ve lost their jobs, kids who don’t have enough food to eat, animals abandoned because their owners can’t feed them, elderly people alone without medical help. The effects of the Covid-19 lockdown has changed the world forever and there’s no telling where the sadness will end. But one of the good things that’s come out of it all is that ubuntu is becoming ever stronger, with many wanting to help others. Crowdfunding is one way to do this – if you do it the right way. Crowdfunding platforms such as Thundafund or BackaBuddy provide wider exposure, so you’ll reach more people than you would’ve if you’d just asked a few friends for donations. Just keep in mind the beneficiary on…

TAURUS 20 APRIL – 20 MAY Be wise with money and curb your spending  As a Taurus, you’re money conscious and put a high premium on your financial security. Despite this, your finances are currently in a vulnerable state.

LIYANA Documentary. This genre-bending doccie tells the story of five children in the Kingdom of eSwatini (Swaziland) who, with guidance from South African storyteller Gcina Mhlope, turn their traumatic lives into a fable about a girl named Liyana. Their heroine goes on a dangerous quest to save her young twin brothers from human traffickers in this gorgeously animated film.

SAN RAFAEL FALLS, ECUADOR The largest waterfall in the South American country of Ecuador has disappeared. Instead of the once mighty San Rafael Falls, there are just three smaller streams now. It seems a sinkhole has formed higher up in the river and diverted water away from where the waterfall used to be. Sinkholes form when the upper layers of soil collapse because the soil and rock beneath have shifted, dissolved or moved. That’s bad news for Ecuador because the falls used to be a popular tourist destination.…

WITH her first book she taught women to Lean In and support each other. And with her second, Sheryl Sandberg offered a road map to others coping with death and bereavement. It was titled Option B – because option A, being with her husband, was no longer possible. Dave Goldberg (47) died of a heart attack while they were holidaying in Mexico in 2015, leaving Sheryl a widow. Although she was bereft, she knew she had to soldier on for the sake of their two kids. So with her trademark pluck, Face-book’s chief operating officer decided to “kick the s**t out of option B”. And now, five years on, Sheryl (50) is using her new romance to encourage women to shape their own destinies. She beams as she begins to…

HIS ex-wife once said, “He just can’t be alone,” and it seems she was right. Since splitting from actress Jennifer Garner, actor and director Ben Affleck has gone from the arms of one beautiful woman to the next – but this time things seem to be going rather well. Ben (47) has been virtually inseparable from Cuban beauty Ana de Armas (32) recently, enjoying smooching sessions on the beach in Costa Rica before lock-down and loved-up walks in Los Angeles. The two met on the set of the upcoming thriller Deep Water in which they play husband and wife. They had great chemistry from the start but kept things purely professional until filming ended in February, according to a source. “Ben always seemed relaxed and happy around Ana but at…

When KYLIE JENNER paid a visit to a pal’s house earlier this month, her flouting of California’s stay-at-home orders were the last thing people were talking about. Instead, it was the 22-year-old beauty billionaire’s almost unrecognisable makeup-free face. Though it’s rare for Kylie, who’s mom to two-year-old Stormi, to go barefaced in public, the star seems to be going for a more natural look while stuck at home during the coronavirus crisis. “This is such a good time to take your hair out and your nails out, no lashes,” she told fans during a recent Instagram live chat.

South African couple Bruce and Kimlyn Harbottle have started an initiative called Masks for South Africa, which encourages everyone with a sewing machine to make masks – for themselves and those in their community. “Sew more and take them to your police stations, to your shops, to your petrol stations, to your hospitals, and to your local clinics. Hang them on street corners and tree branches,” they say. “Sew face masks until you have no more thread, no more fabric, no more energy.”…

MY BUSINESS MIGHT GO UNDER Q I started a business two years ago and just before lockdown it seemed as if it was finally getting on its feet. Now I don’t know what’s going to happen. If lockdown lasts for an extended time I fear my business is in danger of going under. I can’t sleep and keep thinking about what I’m going to do to look after my wife and kids if my business folds. I’m in my forties and I know finding a job these days isn’t easy. I feel as if I’m a sitting duck or a lamb waiting to be led to the slaughter. Caleb, email A The lockdown is having serious repercussions for small business owners and the resulting financial stress will no doubt have…

‘If I could do something to help people or make them feel good, just be able to tell their stories . . . People are my passion at the end of the day’– Kiana Online sensation Back when Kiana (23) was a bright-eyed teen still going by Kiana Brown, she shot to internet fame with her #SoulFoodSessions on YouTube – her soulful cover of Drake’s Hotline Bling racked up more than 40 million views. Since then she’s lent her vocals to the song Do the Mermaid, from the animated Barbie film A Mermaid Tale 2, as well as the soundtracks of Smurfs 2, last year’s Charlie’s Angels and Fifty Shades Freed. Music style Her musical style has a distinctively ’90s and early 2000s edge to it, and that’s no coincidence,…

WASH YOUR HANDS Using soap and water, wash your hands for at least 20 seconds at a time. Wash your hands after using the toilet; when you’ve just come in from outside; after playing with a pet; after coughing or sneezing; before a meal. This way you’re killing all germs – not only coronavirus – that might be on your hands, so you don’t spread or ingest them. COUGH AND SNEEZE INTO THE CROOK OF YOUR ARM And wash your hands anyway! STAY HOME It’s tough to stay home when you’re not sick. You miss your friends and going on outings – you might even miss school! But the best way to stop the virus from spreading is being around other people as little as possible. That way, you’re keeping…

THE United Nations (UN) – a worldwide organisation with 193 countries as members – has warned that a second locust (a type of grasshopper in its swarming phase) plague will be hatching in East Africa. A wave of desert locusts descended on countries such as Kenya, Uganda and Somalia in January and February and destroyed these countries’ crops. Now experts say the heavy rains in March will cause a whole new plague of locusts to hatch. They reckon this second plague might be more devastating than the first. Why is it so dangerous? Locusts eat massive amounts of food. A single locust eats its own body weight in food in a day. That means a swarm stretching across 1km2 can eat as much as 35 000 people can eat in…

6 MAY 1954 Roger Bannister runs the four-minute mile There’s no longer an athletics event called the mile but in 1954 it was a popular event. That’s when on 6 May British athlete Roger Bannister ran the mile in under four minutes in Oxford, England. It was a great achievement because people had been trying to do it for so long and had stopped thinking it would ever happen. A mile is 1 600m, or four times around the athletics track. He only just made it: he ran the mile in 3:59.06, so less than a second under four minutes. The record didn’t last long either. In June 1954 Australian John Landy managed to run it in 3:58 and in the next three years a further 15 runners also broke…

IF THERE’S one phrase that keeps popping up it’s this: we’re not alone. Half the world’s population is living under a lockdown of some kind to curb the spread of Covid-19 – and it’s at times like these when reaching out, sharing stories and offering words of comfort and hope really help. Shortly after President Cyril Ramaphosa announced our lockdown would be extended, YOU spoke to people all over the world, asking them to share their stories as an invisible menace continued its killer march through humankind. GLORIA FRATTER (37): graphic designer, Venice, Italy The streets are eerily quiet. It’s terrifying to experience. When you’re outside you need an official document proving your reason for being there: for work, to buy food, or for health reasons. And you’re fined if…

Celebrating her birthday in lockdown wasn’t difficult at all, says former Miss SA ROLENE STRAUSS. “I see it as an absolute blessing!” she said on Instagram. “The quality time I get to spend with my boys will forever be remembered.” The former Miss World celebrated her 28th birthday on 22 April and says she never thought she’d ask herself this question, “Can you be in love with three men at once?” Rolene gave birth to her second child, another boy, two months ago and she and businessman husband D’NEIL (37) are thrilled to be a family of four. Their eldest son, CHARL, is three. “I thank God for entrusting me with these three and pray for wisdom to love and respect them for the men He planned for them to…

We asked Professor Lucille Blumberg of the National Institute for Communicable Diseases; infection, prevention and control expert Professor Shaheen Mehtar; public health communications expert Dr Warren Parker and Dr Beth Engelbrecht of the Western Cape’s health department for more advice and guidelines when it comes to wearing a mask. ■ Masks shouldn’t be used on infants and toddlers. Children between the ages of four and six can wear them under supervision. Older children can wear them once they’ve been trained on the right way to do so. ■ All you need to clean masks are soap or laundry detergent and water. Make sure the water is as hot as tolerable when washing by hand. You can also pour boiling water over the mask in a bowl with some detergent, leave…

FIERY PAIRING In her latest small-screen project, the actress stars as struggling artist and single mom Mia who moves to a new town with her daughter, Pearl. Their lives become entwined with the well-established Richardson family and Mia finds herself at odds with privileged mom Elena (Reese Witherspoon). Things get shaken up when a dramatic event rocks the small town, forcing them all to re-evaluate their lives and prejudices. The series is based on Celeste Ng’s 2017 novel of the same name and, according to Reese, who’s also the executive producer, she knew from the start she wanted Kerry to play Mia. “When I read the book, I just thought it was a beautiful exploration about different kinds of mothering,” she says. “And I thought nobody would be a better…

Hyland and Williams have great chemistry, making it easy to invest in Mara and Jake’s relationship from the get-go. This sweet romantic comedy should appeal to singletons as well as those in relationships as it touches on subjects…

TOOSIE SLIDE – DRAKE The track secured Drake yet another debut at No 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. The song started out as just a hook which Drake sent to Atlanta dancer Toosie so she could come up with a dance for it – and so Toosie Slide was born. TAKE YOURSELF HOME – TROYE SIVAN The 24-year-old describes the nostalgic tune as “one of my favourite songs I’ve ever written”. He says it’s a “kind of pep talk with yourself and the place you’re from”. I HOPE – GABBY BARRETT There’s nothing like a bit of country to really pour your heart out, which the 20-year-old songbird does on this powerful track about being cheated on. “And then I hope she cheats / Like you did on…

THERE are two gorilla species: the western gorilla, which consists of two subspecies (the western lowland gorilla and Cross River gorilla) and the eastern gorilla, which also consists of two subspecies (the mountain gorilla and eastern lowland gorilla). They’re all found in equatorial Africa and are separated by the 900km Congo Basin, which explains why they’re divided into western and eastern species. Mountain gorillas are bigger than other species and as their name suggests, they live in forests high in the mountains between 2 000 and 4 000m above sea level. The three other gorillas subspecies are critically endangered, which means there’s an extremely high risk they could become extinct in the wild. But thanks to conservation efforts the mountain gorilla’s numbers have improved in recent years. Let’s find out…

How to pronounce it: pan-deh-mik When a whole lot of people in a country get the same illness at the same time and it spreads over a large area, it’s called an epidemic. When this epidemic spreads even further, and keeps infecting people in countries around the world, it’s called a pandemic. In March, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. THIS WEEK IN NUMBERS 112 The age of the oldest living man in the world. Bob Weighton from England was awarded the title by Guinness World Records after the previous title holder, Chitetsu Watanabe from Japan, passed away in February. Chitetsu was 112 years and 355 days old. The oldest living woman – and the oldest living person overall – is Kane Tanaka from Japan,…

HE’S used to gruelling training sessions with some of the world’s top rugby players – but for now former Springbok Morné Steyn is having to make do with backyard rough-and-tumble with his young sons. For six years, France had the benefit of his golden boot as he helped Paris club Stade Français rack up the victories. But the flyhalf is home again now, back with the Bulls – the Pretoria team where he first made a name for himself. Unfortunately, like all professional sportspeople the world over, Morné hasn’t been getting much playing time. The coronavirus pandemic has seen the Super Rugby competition postponed indefinitely and the 35-year-old ace was able to play only six of the Bulls’ planned 16 matches before it all came to an abrupt halt. Now…

THE wispy baby hair is gone, as are the chubby cheeks. Seemingly overnight Prince Louis has transformed into a cheeky little boy, capable of giving his elder siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, a run for their money. To mark little Louis’ second birthday his parents, Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, released an adorable series of pictures – taken of course by his mom, an avid amateur photographer who brings out her camera to record all her children’s birthdays. Snapped in the grounds of Anmer Hall, the Cambridges’ Norfolk home, the pics show the fifth-in-line to the British throne having fun during a lockdown painting activity. He’s captured in the process of making a rainbow handprint picture to pay tribute to Britain’s healthcare workers. In one shot, Louis…

Argentine actress and model LUISANA LOPILATO is defending her husband, crooner MICHAEL BUBLÉ, after fans expressed concern over the singer’s behaviour towards her. Last month, the couple appeared together in a video on Luisana’s Instagram profile, and the 44-year-old singer was criticised for elbowing her after she spoke over him. Fans immediately took to social media to criticise the Home singer’s behaviour. “This is clearly a man being abusive with his wife, the way he grabbed her by the arm,” one posted. Luisana (32) thanked fans for their concern but was quick to defend her nine-year-marriage, saying she’d choose her husband a “thousand times over”. But body language expert Blanca Cobb, who viewed the controversial clip, insists something is amiss. “You can see a bit of tension in his face,”…

“She’s too nice. When we play games, she wants us to tie every time.” – Singer JOHN LEGEND on his three-year-old daughter, Luna “Every single day is the same. I’m the resident kitchen porter, working my fingers to the bone.” – TV chef GORDON RAMSAY on being in isolation with his five “ravenous” kids “When you forgot to mute yourself on the conference call and realise that was your kid screaming.” – Big Little Lies star REESE WITHER-SPOON “Quarantine is going well . . .
