PEOPLE sometimes ask me how we choose stories to put in the magazine every week – whether it’s hard to produce an issue time and again with a mix of human interest articles, news, celebrities and so on. The answer is that finding stories isn’t hard at all because there’s so much going on in the world. But it’s the moving stories – the ones telling of people’s fortitude and generosity – that we believe are an invaluable part of our lineup. For me this week the stand-out story is the one about Rodwell Khomazana, the nine-year-old Zimbabwean who was mauled by a hyena while he was attending a church service with his gran (see page 10). It’s a harrowing story for sure – what this child has been through…

HE HEAVED a sigh of relief when the judge read the verdict. The man he’d spent years trying to bring to book – for torturing and harassing him – was finally being ordered to pay for his actions. South African businessman Daniel Janse van Rensburg was recently awarded R39 million in damages by the high court in Cape Town after suing Equatorial Guinea’s vice president, Teodoro Obiang Mangue. Obiang is also a rap music entrepreneur, an international playboy and the favourite son of President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, who, after 42 years in charge, is the world’s longest serving leader. Daniel’s ordeal started when Obiang junior, who oversees Equatorial Guinea’s security forces, border control prisons and detention centres, ordered his arrest after a business deal with Obiang’s uncle went sour.…

Horror comedy. A trio of part-time paranormal investigators, Astrid (Emma D’Arcy), Gus (Nick Frost) and Elton (Samson Kayo), team up to uncover and film supernatural sightings in the UK, and share them online. As they stake out haunted venues with their homemade supernatural-tracking gizmos, their paranormal experiences grow more frequent and more terrifying as they begin to discover an apocalyptic conspiracy. The show was created by Frost and Simon Pegg, and as in their previous co-writing and acting collaborations (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) the pair play typically wacky roles (Pegg plays Gus’ boss). Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange) adds a good dose of creepy in a rare non-villainous role as Gus’ dad, while Kayo, D’Arcy and Susan Wokoma as Elton’s sister also deliver fantastic performances. Truth Seekers doesn’t…

THE MISSING SISTER By LUCINDA RILEY Macmillan This is the seventh book in the series about seven girls adopted and named for the stars of The Seven Sisters constellation in Greek Mythology. Their adoptive father has died and the girls of the previous six books, now armed with the knowledge of their heritage, want to find their mysterious lost sister.

Each sister tries to track down their long-lost sibling with varying degrees of success, and…

With regards to the proposed bill on polyandry, it’s definitely a no for me (YOU, 10 June). Imagine, if you can, all your husbands getting sick at once? No thanks! CYNTHIA, MONDEOR I had my Pfizer vaccine jab at Helderberg Hospital in Somerset West, Cape Town, and the whole procedure was like a well-oiled machine. The staff were efficient, helpful and friendly despite the number of people they had to attend to. I now know I have nothing to fear when I get the second dose in July. Well done! HH, SMS I disagree with the letter from Mr Zagnoev saying we need to pay up to fix Eskom (YOU Say, 24 June). What a joke! No matter how much is paid, the financial and investment problems will remain while…

WHEN trying to define the moment that marked the final rift with his brother, Harry would fix upon his triumphant return with Meghan from their Australian tour in October 2018. “It was the first time the family got to see how incredible she is at the job,” he told Oprah Winfrey in his explosive interview with the talk-show queen in March. But if asked the same question, William would’ve fixed on a more specific event: the argument he’d had with his brother earlier that month. Both brothers have confirmed how bitterly they’d clashed in the early days over William’s attempt to slow Harry’s courtship of Meghan. But both had moved on. Harry’s contentment with Meghan had relaxed the tensions, give or take the odd row over bridesmaids’ dresses. The “no-speaks”…

I HAD AN AFFAIR – NOW SHE’S STALKING ME Q My wife and I have been together since high school and I love her very much. She’s a good woman and we have a 13-year-old daughter who I love to bits. We used to be a happy family until my wife became depressed and was no longer interested in me, our intimate life or our daughter. Luckily, she had professional help and we’re all back on track again. However, during the time that my wife was depressed I met a stunning woman through my friend. At the time I couldn’t believe my luck – I thought we could have a fling and she agreed to it with no strings attached. But she’s turned out to be a psychopath. When she…

MIND YOUR LANGUAGE Psychiatrist to his receptionist: “Just say we’re very busy if people call. Don’t keep saying, ‘It’s a madhouse here’.” DIRECTIONS, PLEASE A Swiss guy looking for directions pulls up at a bus stop in the US where two Americans are waiting. “Excuse, me,” he asks in German, “can you help me?” The two Americans just stare at him. “Can you help me with directions?” he asks, this time in French. The two continue to stare. “I’m lost and need your help,” he says, this time in Italian. Still nothing. The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted. The first American turns to the second and says, “Y’know, maybe we should learn a foreign language?” “Why?” the other asks. “That guy knew three languages and it didn’t do him…

HE EVEN MET HER OUTSIDE THE OFFICE WHERE SHE WORKED JAYNE twiddled her fingers round a lock of hair while she watched Mike go to the bar. He seemed nice. Sort of. There was just something about him though that she couldn’t quite put her finger on. That was the trouble with online dating apps. It was the difference between theory and practice. On his profile page Mike had come across as open and friendly. His photo had immediately caught her eye. Brown hair, neatly styled, wearing a formal shirt and jacket, and a megawatt smile. Exactly the sort of man she was attracted to. He was 32, like her, had been single for a while, and in his blurb – which is what had really swung it for her…

UNITED STATES LITTLE LADY LIBERTY One hundred and thirty-five years after gifting the United States with the original Lady Liberty, France was preparing to send a smaller replica of the Statue of Liberty to the US to commemorate Independence Day on 4 July. The bronze statue has been named Little Sister and stands almost 3m tall. It’s one-sixteenth the size of the original statue – a gift that celebrated France and America’s friendship during the 1800s. Little Sister will be displayed on Ellis Island in New York City just across from Liberty Island where the original Statue of Liberty ITALY VINTAGE CAR RALLY Car enthusiasts in Italy recently took part in what’s been called the most beautiful race in the world – the Mille Miglia. In the rally, which sees…

LOOK carefully and you might spot a grey strand or two in her long blonde locks, but there’s still that megawatt smile, still those twinkling eyes. If you didn’t know she was crowned Miss World in 1974 when she was an 18-year-old drama student, you’d never guess she’s 65. “There isn’t really a secret to it,” she says of her good looks. “I just try to live my best life. “I think my greatest privilege is that I’m happy with my life and my environment and I feel completely at peace with myself. I think as you get older, you tend to appreciate what you have, rather than comparing yourself to others.” Of course, it must help that she lives in Mauritius, a little slice of tropical paradise in the…

When two teachers tested positive for Covid-19, my grandson’s preparatory school closed its doors and schooling was done at home via Google Classroom. Because he’s been diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia, he’s still unable to properly tell the time, so yours truly spent seven hours a day with a manual timer, anxiously checking the roster for when the next scheduled lesson would begin. In between getting him connected on his tablet, I’d do a load of washing, check in, hang the laundry, check in, mop and sweep, check in . . . Due to his learning disabilities his attention span is extremely short and he’s easily distracted. I’d often find him staring into space, fiddling with sticky putty or playing an imaginary drum on the table with his fingers. These…

IN PICTURES taken earlier this year, the nine-year-old in the superhero T-shirt smiles at his mom – a typical little boy who’d come home dusty and happy from a soccer match with his friends. But those carefree days are a thing of the past for Rodwell Khomazana now. His life changed in a few harrowing minutes when he was mauled in the face by a hyena while at an all-night church service with his grandmother in May. Rodwell, who’s from Zaka, about 350km from Harare, was asleep when the hyena attacked him. It’s unclear whether he was outside or inside the church – and the details are not what matter now. His future is at stake and a team of South African medical professionals – including one of SA’s top…

Stiletto This shape makes chubby fingers look slimmer. If you have long fingers, keep your nails as short as possible. Coffin This works well on long fingers if worn at medium length. People with thicker fingers should make the nail as narrow as possible. Oval This is a classic shape that works for most hands and fingers. If you have chubby fingers, narrow down the shape and wear it at medium length. Square Perfect for long fingers. People with chubby fingers should wear square-shaped nails long. A short length makes fingers appear stubby. GALLO IMAGES/GETTY IMAGES, INSTAGRAM (@GINAEDWARDS_, @NAILARTBYSIG, @VANITYPROJECTS, @NAILSBYCANISHIEA, @ENAMELLE)…

THIS week we take a look at some important financial principles to observe if you want to create wealth rather than just survive from month to month. If you start following even one of these, it could make a big difference to your finances in the long term. GROW YOUR EMERGENCY FUND We tend to think of an emergency fund as just a short-term financial goal to help in a sudden crisis – like a major medical expense, a roof collapse or a car breakdown. But an emergency fund can achieve much more if you allow it to grow long term and could also finance something that’s not a crisis, for example buying equipment for a home business instead of taking out a loan for it. Ways to boost your…

True-life drama. The always reliable Mark Ruffalo (Hulk in Marvel’s MCU) anchors this sombre but gripping film with a restrained performance as corporate lawyer Rob Bilott. It’s 1998 and through years of hard graft Rob is about to make partner at a prestigious Cincinnati law firm specialising in defending chemical companies when he’s approached by a farmer from his grandmother’s West Virginia hometown. Wilbur Tennant (a memorable Bill Camp) is convinced that giant chemical company DuPont’s landfill next to his farm is poisoning the river, leading to the deaths of most of his cattle. Rob is at first reluctant to make waves, but slowly becomes committed to uncovering the shocking truth. Like The Report (2019), this slow-burn drama avoids any flashy or showy scenes, instead focusing on an ordinary but…

FOR readers there’s a real poignancy to seeing The Missing Sister by Lucinda Riley at the top of the SA fiction bestseller list because it’s the last book that will be released by the much-loved Northern Irish author. Riley’s family recently announced that she’d died at the age of 55 after a long illness. “We’re so sorry to have to tell you that Lucinda died peacefully this morning, surrounded by her family,” they said in a statement. “We realise that this will be a terrible shock for most people, who won’t have been aware that Lucinda had been battling cancer for four years.” Despite her illness, Riley penned five novels, including The Missing Sister – the final instalment in her enormously popular Seven Sisters series. She wrote her first novel…

Then an injury put paid to those hopes and he hung up his boots – but that didn’t mean his world cup dreams were dashed. Julio Bianchi just needed to switch things up a bit, that’s all. He turned to his next big love – online soccer.

THE world is so full of doom and gloom right now we all need a treat – a little pick-me-up, something to take our mind off the pandemic and make us feel a bit better. And a dose of eye candy may be just what the doctor ordered. The globe was deprived of the Uefa Euro 2020 last year because of the dreaded c-word but it’s here in all it’s glory now, being played on pitches from Azerbaijan to London. The soccer is quite something – but really, you don’t have to give a flying fig about the rules to appreciate what’s going on over there. Not when there are guys in the prime of their lives booting a ball about. So here’s a selection of some of the hottest…

Former Miss SA Ntando Kunene “Fluffy pink slippers. They’re warm and perfect for the colder weather. They’re also comfortable and a must-have for when you’re working from home.” Actress Lea Vivier “A onesie. My boyfriend and I each bought one before we went on a romantic weekend away. We wanted to be super-comfortable and not worry about what to wear. So we spent the weekend in our galaxy-themed unicorn onesies!” The Real Housewives of Durban star Annie Ludick “A bright yellow shirt. I hate ironing and the shirt is a crinkle silk that doesn’t need ironing. It’s an easy slay that you can dress up or down.”…

KHLOÉ KARDASHIAN and TRISTAN THOMPSON’s breakup is proving to be just as complicated as their relationship. The pair reportedly split earlier this month after the basketball player was involved in yet another cheating scandal. Tristan (30) was reportedly spotted entering a bedroom with three women at a party in Los Angeles. Since their breakup, Khloé (37) “is trying her best to move on,” a source says. “She doesn’t ever want to be in this position again,” the source explained. “She’s done falling for Tristan’s empty promises.” But apparently Khloé, who was first linked to the Tristan in September 2019, is struggling to create distance between herself and the father of her three-year-old daughter, TRUE. “Khloé still loves Tristan and would take him back in a heartbeat, but that’s not happening…

‘The whole Meryl iconography is what Hollywood does to women’– SHARON STONE MERYL STREEP is one of few actresses in Hollywood who can do no wrong. Throughout her decades-long career she’s garnered 21 Oscar nominations (winning three) and has long been thought of as the world’s unofficial best actress. Well, SHARON STONE would like a word. Speaking to Everything Zoomer last month, Sharon was asked what it was like to “finally” work with Meryl on the 2019 film The Laundromat. “You didn’t say, ‘Meryl finally got to work with Sharon Stone.’ Or we finally got to work together . . . Because that’s the way her life went, she got built up to be, ‘Everyone wants to work with Meryl,’” the 63-year-old replied. But her musing was far from over.…

EWAN MCGREGOR and MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD are the latest celebrity couple to welcome a secret baby. The pair, who never revealed they were expecting, announced the news of their son LAURIE’s birth on Ewan’s daughter Clara’s Instagram profile. Clara (25), whose mother is the actor’s ex-wife Eve Mavrakis (55), shared a snap of herself cradling the newborn as she congratulated her father and Mary. She’s clearly come round to her dad’s new love, having previously branded Mary a “piece of trash” on Instagram after Ewan filed for divorce from Eve. Ewan (50) and Mary (36) have been in a relationship since co-starring in the third season of Fargo in 2017. Their on-set romance led to his and Eve’s split in May 2017 after 22 years of marriage. The couple, who…

“She completely convinced me, and I never wear Crocs anymore.” - CHANNING TATUM on how his actor pal Zoë Kravitz convinced him to give up the comfy footwear. “I do remember being on set and everyone being lovely. I wasn’t paying attention to whether they were giving each other little looks over my shoulder. I’m okay with whatever happened back then, it was a long time ago.” – David Schwimmer’s ex, singer NATALIE IMBRUGLIA, on Jennifer Aniston’s claims that she and David were crushing on each other during the early days of Friends. “Some of those films I did like that are lovely, and I love them for being popular. And I’m grateful for them. But, it’s been a lovely relief now that I’m allowed to be twisted, ugly weird,…

JENNIFER ANISTON isn’t ready to give up on love just yet – she’s just not going to chase after it. In a recent interview the 52-year-old actress baulked at the idea of using a dating app to find a prospective beau. “I’m going to just stick to the normal ways of dating,” she said. “Having someone ask you out – that’s the way I’d prefer it.” She might be open to romance, but she’s not sure that walking down the aisle for a third time is an option. The Friends star has already been married twice before – first to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005, and then in 2016 to Justin Theroux after five years of dating. They split amicably two years later. “It’s not on my radar. I’m…
