Vaccines against Covid-19 have been dominating the news for weeks now. The government was criticised for being slow to the party, dithering about which vaccine to buy and letting deadlines slip. Then there was the disappointment of the AstraZeneca jab not being effective against the new variant of the disease. But finally, finally, the first batch arrived – and that plane carrying the Johnson & Johnson jabs was as welcome as any jumbo jet bearing loads of eager-to-spend tourists. It’s still baby steps and we have a long way to go before we vaccinate the millions of people needed for SA to gain herd immunity. But at the time of going to print, more than 10 000 health workers had had their shots. Yes, there were teething problems and yes,…

The winning letter from Pamela about being grateful for what we have in this time of Covid is just so beautiful (YOU Say, 18 February). That letter touched me profoundly and left me speechless. JW, PORT ELIZABETH I was so glad to see in the 24 December 2020 issue that YOU offered so many ideas for activities I can do with my toddler. It is much appreciated during this period when outings are limited. QURAISHA, DURBAN Thank you for a wonderful magazine. I have been reading it since it came out. I just want to say this: people, stop complaining and throwing lemons. We’re all in this together. Rather start praying. FRANCES, GERMISTON Kate Middleton finds parenting exhausting, with nannies and a chef (YOU, 11 February). Wow! Let’s have a…

7 JANUARY 2020 The Sussexes attend their first royal event of the year – an engagement at Canada House, London, following a six-week break on Vancouver Island, Canada. 8 JANUARY 2020 The couple release a bombshell statement on their now-defunct Instagram page, Sussex Royal, announcing they intend to leave their lives as working royals. 13 JANUARY 2020 Harry attends crisis talks with the queen, Prince Charles and Prince William. It’s agreed the couple can pursue independent lives. 21 JANUARY 2020 Harry leaves for Canada to join Meghan, who’d left the UK earlier with their son, Archie. 6 FEBRUARY 2020 The Sussexes speak at a JP Morgan event, showing they mean business when it comes to making their own way – and their own money – in the world. 6-9 MARCH…

SHE knew something big was happening. The hospital was buzzing with activity and members of the media and camera crews were everywhere. Zoliswa Gidi-Dyosi ignored the commotion and went about her rounds in the labour ward at Khayelitsha District Hospital in Cape Town. When her manager later told her President Cyril Ramaphosa and health minister Zweli Mkhize were visiting the hospital that day, it all made sense. “I thought, ‘Oh okay, maybe that’s why the media is here’,” Zoliswa says. She didn’t expect all eyes to be on her – but that’s precisely what happened when she became the first person in South Africa to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. The previous day the first batch of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine had arrived at OR Tambo Airport in Johannesburg and…

Werner Wessels @WERNER_WESSELS This Joburg-based stylist has worked with numerous beauty queens – including Rolene Strauss, Zozibini Tunzi and Shudufhadzo Musida – and is creative director of the Miss South Africa pageant. How did you get your start in the fashion industry? Having completed my BA degree in commercial fashion at Lisof (fashion school) in Pretoria I started working with my best friend from high school, Melinda Bam, on her journey towards Miss South Africa. We always had this dream that she would one day enter Miss South Africa and when the time was right in 2011 I said I would help her as I had a keen interest in pageants and had just completed my degree in fashion. I never knew I could even have a career in pageants…

IF YOUR finances are tight, it might be an idea to trade in your vehicle for a more affordable model. Just make sure you exchange it for a car you can easily resell again. We answer five questions on vehicle trade-ins to make it easier for you to take this step. 1 WHAT MAY AFFECT YOUR VEHICLE’S TRADE-IN VALUE? There are many factors that influence the trade-in value of your car, such as its age, condition, mileage, repairs history and whether it’s been in any accidents. The lower the mileage on your car, and the better its general condition, the better the trade-in value. The make of your vehicle also plays a role. The top five vehicles with the best resale value in 2019 were Volkswagen Tiguan, Kia Picanto, Volkswagen…

■ Omar’s character, Assane, is a fan of the Lupin books. “You can’t grow up in France and not know Arsène Lupin,” he says. However, he admits that as a child he “was not a fan”. ■ He’s the voice behind the main character in the dubbed French version of Pixar’s newest film, Soul. ■ He admires actor Samuel L Jackson. “I love him. He’s wonderful,” Omar said, adding he once met the Pulp Fiction star who then recognised him. “I couldn’t believe he knew my name!”…

THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY By MATT HAIG Canongate Imagine you could live your life over and over again, each time trying out a different version to see which one fits you best. You could test them out to eliminate your every regret to find which one makes you happiest. Nora Seed is given this gift when she finds herself in The Midnight Library, the space between life and death, where each book on the library shelves provides an opportunity to try out a different version of her life. She explores various careers, addresses all kinds of relationship issues and experiences things she’d only ever dreamt of as she goes through one reality after the other. But, as Nora discovers, choices have consequences and in each life she’s confronted with the aftermath…

HOWTOSAYIT: deks-ster-ra-tee Dexterity is the ability to make movements using the small muscles in your hands to hold objects and perform various tasks skilfully and easily.

HE ALWAYS refused to refer to his most famous film by its real title. To Christopher Plummer, it was The Sound of Mucus, or S&M – a sly reference to sado-masochism. Devoting a brief chapter of his 600-page autobiography to the perennial favourite – it won five Oscars in 1966, none of which was for him – he opened with a quote: “Watching The Sound of Music is like being beaten to death by a Hallmark card.” The actor, who recently died aged 91, played Captain Von Trapp, the widowed father of seven children, who hires a former nun to be their governess and falls in love with her. Julie Andrews had the starring role as Maria and, though he was loath to admit it, Christopher felt intimidated. Yes, he…

■ Insects are rich in protein, healthy fats, micronutrients and omega 3 and 6 oils. ■ Crickets contain up to 70% protein, all nine amino acids, more iron than spinach and more calcium than milk. ■ Mealworms have around 40% protein and more fat, while silkworms have around 20% protein and are low in fat. ■ Insects are environmentally sustainable to farm. They require far less food, water and space than traditional livestock (such as cows) and produce fewer greenhouse gases. ■ Insects have a variety of flavours: the black field cricket tastes like liquorice, while the brown house cricket is nutty. Mealworms taste like chicken; silkworm pupae have an earthy taste; termites are salty, and sago grub tastes like bacon. “What the insects eat also plays a role in…

Meet BUDDY. “This little cutie is everything and has brought so much joy into our lives,” Leigh-Anne (38) says. “He’s funny and feisty, he loves nipping at toes and he’s incredibly playful. He’s so well behaved, and he just loves everyone.” The radio presenter brought Buddy home in January – now the pooch has his own Instagram page. “He’s such a blessing in these challenging times,” she says. He’d love to take his Rhodesian ridgeback for a run on the beach but Janez’s fur kid BENJI first needs his final vaccination. “There’s a lot of cat flu going around in Cape Town and we don’t want to risk his health.” Until then, Benji seems more than happy to cuddle up in bed with the TV presenter. “Benji has gigantic paws.…

The government’s plan for distribution is divided into three phases: ■ Phase 1 South Africa’s 1,25 million healthcare workers are first in line. ■ Phase 2 About 2,5 million essential workers, including police officers, mineworkers, teachers, retailers, funeral directors, essential municipal workers and government officials, will be next – along with about five million people over the age of 60. Some 1,1 million people who live and/or work in group setups (such as care homes and shelters) and eight million people with comorbidities also fall under this phase. ■ Phase 3 About 22,5 million people over the age of 18 fall into the final phase. When will this happen? The government has procured a number of vaccines from several suppliers along with Johnson & Johnson, including 12 million from the…

WHEN was the last time you took a long, hard look at your face? Once your 30s and 40s are behind you, it can be a startling experience. Too often today women see signs of ageing, panic and opt for Botox, fillers or hormone-replacement therapy. In my view as an expert in women’s hormonal health, these aren’t necessary. Your face is a brilliant barometer for your health as a whole. If your face is looking old and tired, it’s almost certainly because your midlife body is feeling that way too. A big part of the problem is how few women reach their mid-40s in a nutritionally good place. As early as your mid-30s onwards, which is when hormone levels tend to peak, it’s important to regularly check in with your…

ARIES 21 MARCH – 19 APRIL With your ruling planet, Mars, moving into the communicative constellation Gemini this week, chances are that your ideas carry far more weight than you may have given yourself credit for.

IT’S A PARTY ALBUM, FOLKS While they’re far better known for their hard-rocking anthems, legendary frontman Dave Grohl describes their latest release, Medicine at Midnight, as their “Saturday night party album”. Originally slated for release last year, it was put on hold when the pandemic hit. “We wanted to do something that sounded fresh for our tenth record,” says Dave (52), who was the drummer for Nirvana before starting Foo Fighters in late 1994. “We’ve made many different types of albums, we’ve done acoustic things, punk-rock things, mid-tempo-Americana type of things. “We have a lot of albums to fall back on, so instead of making some mellow adult album, I thought ‘F**k that, let’s make a party album’.” ‘Foo Fighters is the longest f**king relationship I’ve had in my life…

THE CAPTURE SEASON 1 Thriller. The recent invasion of the US Capitol by rioters who were arrested after being identified on surveillance footage and social media feeds lends a timely feeling to this BBC show. Hotshot detective inspector Rachel Carey (Strike’s Holliday Grainger) is assigned to investigate the assault and abduction of a lawyer (Laura Haddock from Da Vinci’s Demons) by one of her clients, Shaun Emery (Emma. star Callum Turner), a soldier recently acquitted of war crimes. As the UK is the mostsurveilled country in the world, there’s CCTV footage of Emery attacking his lawyer, but what seems to be an open-and-shut case is quickly revealed to be something much more sinister. The story gallops along, with strong performances from the cast – only to be let down a…

LOW-CARB EXPRESS By VICKIE DE BEER Penguin Food editor and stylist Vickie de Beer is on a mission to show that low-carb eating doesn’t have to be finicky and fussy. In this beautifully photographed book, she serves up 66 dishes that will appeal to the whole family. Vickie understands that you don’t have all day to spend in the kitchen so recipes are thoughtfully divided up into sections – from meals that can be prepared in five minutes and upwards but never going beyond 30 minutes. And it’s amazing what you can achieve in such a short space of time – from savouries such as chicken schnitzels, beef stroganoff and Thai fishcakes to sweet treats such as scones, muffins, peanut butter biscuits and crustless milk tart – and there are…

ON THE face of it, it was a simple logo on a golf bag: Autism Speaks. But when The Big Easy walked onto the course 13 years ago with this American organisation’s logo on his bag, it was also a silent statement of intent. This is how Ernie Els first told the world about the challenges facing his son Ben (then 5). Until that American PGA tournament in 2008, the only people who knew that Ben was on the autism spectrum had been Ernie, his wife Liezl, their daughter Samantha and family and close friends. By revealing his son’s condition in this way, Ernie took his first steps on a long journey to raising awareness about autism. In a touching video recently shared on the PGA Tour Champions Facebook page,…

THE date will forever be bittersweet for Queen Elizabeth – a day of both sad reflection and joyous celebration. Her beloved sister, Princess Margaret, died on 9 February 2002 of cardiac complications following a stroke, her body ravaged by years of chain-smoking and heavy drinking. At just 71, Margaret would never enjoy the longevity afforded her mom the Queen Mother, who was 101 when she died, or her sister, who celebrates her 95th birthday in April. But there’s happiness too for Her Majesty: her precious granddaughter Princess Eugenie gave birth to a son on this day 19 years later, presenting her with her ninth great-grandchild. The queen and Eugenie enjoy a close bond and the princess has even been heard calling the monarch “granny” in public, unlike the more formal…

Having wrapped filming on M-Net’s latest season of lifestyle show Man Cave, the TV presenters flew to KwaZulu-Natal for a fab four-day getaway. “We went micro lighting over the ocean, which was epic,” Siv (35) says. The boys also went to Ballito Ski Park where they enjoyed water sports such as skiing and tubing. “We could spend months in KZN; there’s so much to do.” Jonathan (40) is the perfect pal to travel with, Siv adds. “If I say let’s go diving with sharks, he’d jump without second-guessing it. If I say let’s jump on our motorbikes, we’d ride on two wheels. We’re both fearless, real and raw.” Next on their list is a road trip on their motorbikes. Talk about living their best bachelor lives!…

FANS may be in rapture about their loved-up posts but it seems not everyone is rooting for KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN and TRAVIS BARKER’s new romance. Hours after the couple went Instagram official, the Blink-182 drummer’s ex-wife, SHANNA MOAKLER (45), cheekily liked a comment which said, “Travis downgraded big time.” The former pageant queen later backtracked, telling a paparazzo that she was “happy” for her ex. “He’s my friend and co-parent, and I want him to be happy,” she said before wryly adding that she’s sure her ex can “handle all of that Kardashian drama all on his own”. The trio have a long history. Not only has the drummer been long-time neighbours with the reality TV star, but when he and Shanna were still together, their kids were close to Kourtney…

After months of rumours that their relationship is on the rocks, one of the world’s most famous – and richest – couples, KIM KARDASHIAN WEST and KANYE WEST, have filed for divorce. The filing comes after a tumultuous six months for the beauty magnate and rapper in which their marital problems have been made public on social media while Kanye fanned further controversy with an ill-fated presidential bid. With a combined net worth of $2,1 billion (R29,4 bn) there’s plenty to haggle over, but just what is at stake? KANYE WEST Kanye is the richer of the pair and the crown jewel of his fortune is Yeezy, the Adidas-backed shoe brand known for its chunky sneakers. The Follow God rapper collects about 11% of Yeezy’s annual revenue, which was about…

The letter from Joan Lyness about the doll she was given after World War II (YOU Say, 28 January) made me think of one of my 14 great-grandchildren, a little girl of three years old. Her doll is her baby and she treats it like one. She gently wraps it in a blanket, all the time talking gently. She picks it up with a hand under its head and gently places it in its bed. The nappy has to be changed regularly. Out come the wet wipes and Vaseline and a clean nappy (prem size). Her poor doll’s stomach gets hammered if the nappy won’t stick, but she is still small. She knows exactly how to roll up the “dirty” nappy and put on the clean one. Then she will…

DIVORCE is always painful, no matter how amicable it may be and it’s safe to say there’s sorrow on both sides. In the one corner is a proud and stoic matriarch, tiny in stature yet all-powerful, ruling her kingdom and her clan with a steely resolve. And in the other is her grandson and his headstrong American wife, intent on making their way in the world but hoping to hang on to a few royal ties. But while Queen Elizabeth may give her loved ones some leeway to live their lives, she’s always made it clear: when you’re a member of the royal family, you can only do so much and no more. In other words, you can’t have your cake and eat it too. And Prince Harry and his…

EVER since being crowned Miss South Africa she’s been upfront about the struggles she’s faced over the years, from being bullied and body shamed to struggling with anxiety. All have had an effect on Shudufhadzo Musida’s emotional wellbeing and resulted in her seeking professional help. So when her Miss SA predecessor and former Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi asked her which movement she’d start if she won the title, she didn’t think twice. “I’d call it the mindful movement,” she replied. “Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among people between the ages of 15 and 29. So I believe that mobilising people to strive for mental health would fix so many social ills.” Now, four months after being crowned Miss SA, the 24-year-old has been true to her…

I must confess I felt a little anxious about tackling an at-home peel. After all, qualified beauticians are paid to perform them in salons, and you hear stories of red skin and discomfort afterwards. What havoc would I wreak with an amateur DIY job? Ah well, here goes! WHAT I DID I tried Derca BioSculptivate AT Resurface Peel (No 8, below right), which claims to improve deep lines and wrinkles, open pores, hydrate, help with scarring, smooth lines and increase collagen and elasticity in neck tissue. Clearly, I wasn’t going to see results instantly and I’d have to take their word for it on the collagen front, but I decided to give it a go. It was a lot simpler than I expected, sort of like a facial but with…

UNIVERSITY IS SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT Q I’m 18 and completed matric last year, which was a bad year to say the least. I really hoped this year would be a new beginning for me. I so looked forward to going to university, making new friends and living the life of a student. But I’m so disappointed because nothing this year is anything like what I was hoping for or like my parents describe their time at university. We can’t be on campus and most lessons are online, so I don’t even get to see my fellow students. There are no get-togethers because of social distancing. I feel like giving up my studies because this is not the varsity life I imagined. It feels as if all I’m doing is studying…

THE HIGHLIGHTS THE WEEKND  Curated specifically around his Super Bowl halftime appearance, this 18-track album may just as well have been called his greatest hits album, because all the hits are there – Starboy, In Your Eyes, Can’t Feel My Face, Love Me Harder, Heartless and Blinding Lights. There’s a reason the 31-year-old is the No 1 most-listened-to artist in the world on Spotify – and it’s all on here. – NICI DE WET NOT YOUR MUSE CELESTE  Her music has been on the soundtracks for the animated flick Soul and Netflix’s The Trial of the Chicago 7, but it’s been a long wait for her debut album.

FANTASY ISLAND Horror. If you won a trip to a place called Fantasy Island where it’s promised your deepest desires can be met, what would you wish for? Five strangers played by Maggie Q, Lucy Hale (Pretty Little Liars), Jimmy O Yang, Ryan Hansen (Veronica Mars) and Austin Stowell get to find out in a tropical paradise overseen by the mysterious Mr Roarke (Michael Peña). They can’t wait to have their fantasies come true but soon begin to suspect there’s something creepy going on. It’s loosely based on the family-friendly ’70s US TV show of the same name, but this film is decidedly not PG. It’s a clever idea to turn the concept into a horror movie, but it’s squandered by poor execution. The film isn’t scary and contains such…

NIKE’S new Go FlyEase sneakers have been designed for people with special needs in mind. The world’s first fully hands-free sneakers were inspired by a young American named Matthew Walzer. Matthew suffers from cerebral palsy, a condition that affects the ability to move around, dexterity (see Word of the Week), balance and posture. In 2012, when Matthew was 16, he contacted the well-known sportswear brand about his battle with tying his shoelaces. “My dream is to go to the college of my choice without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoelaces every day,” he wrote. In response, Nike spent years developing shoes that would be easy to slip on or off for people with disabilities. Matthew was part of the exercise and got to try out their…

AT HIS heaviest, he couldn’t fit through a doorway without turning sideways. At work he had to enter the building through the double doors meant for wheelchair users and everywhere he went he had to carry along his own special chair to support his weight. For years, Rudolph Wolker was deeply ashamed of his body and at his heftiest he tipped the scales at a whopping 320kg. Yet over the course of 18 months, he lost a staggering 220kg. By eating healthily and getting moderate exercise, R u d o l p h managed to sustain his weight for a year. But then the hard lockdown hit in March last year and he gained more than 60kg in a matter of months. “Just like before, I was disgusted with the…

HARRY STYLES and OLIVIA WILDE have fallen really hard for each other since they started dating. They recently wrapped filming on her second project as a director, Don’t Worry Darling, and flew to London together, according to an insider. Harry (27) and Olivia (36) love being on the road and have become very comfortable spending all of their time together, a source says. “They’re rarely apart, and it made sense to go to London together.” The source went on to say that the lovebirds are travelling together to London to reunite with loved ones there. Olivia’s ex-fiancé, actor JASON SUDEIKIS, is also based there now as he works on his Ted Lasso series. Their kids, six-year-old OTIS and four-year-old DAISY, are with him. “Olivia will mostly be spending time with…

SHE hit the headlines in 2018 when she was rushed to hospital after a drug overdose. Now DEMI LOVATO reveals just how close a call it was. The singer has shared for the first time details about the near-fatal incident in a new four-part YouTube documentary, Demi Lovato: Dancing With the Devil. In the trailer, the 28-year-old says she had three strokes and a heart attack and that doctors told her family she had “five to 10 more minutes to live”. The incident also left the Confident singer with physical limitations that still affect her. “I was left with brain damage, and I still deal with the effects of that today,” she said in a recent interview. “I don’t drive a car because I have blind spots in my vision.…
