MY HUSBAND is obsessed with the Olympic Games. There’s currently a man-shaped indent on the couch and the remote seems welded to his hand as he checks what’s happening on various channels. Even when I’m clearly busy with something else, he’ll give me a running commentary on this interesting athlete or that fascinating discipline. I’m not sure he even requires a response. He’s always been like this about major sporting events. This one was no exception despite the fact it’s so different thanks to Covid-19. It doesn’t matter that there aren’t spectators, was his reply when I pointed out how sad the empty stadiums looked. It’s about the athletes and them showing what they can do. It’s about the fact that they’re finally able to show off the results of…

When we look around us, it’s scary to see how innocent people suffer every day – people who’ve lost their jobs and struggle to provide for their families. Sky-high electricity and food prices don’t make it any easier. Then there are families who’ve lost loved ones because of this terrible pandemic, loved ones gone without even a goodbye. A mother on the Cape Flats waits for her child to come back from the shop, only to hear he was caught in gangsters’ crossfire and was shot dead. A little girl is kidnapped, and all hope is shattered when the child’s little body is found days later in an open field. Sometimes we get so caught up in our own little world that we’re blind to all the suffering around us.…

In plans revealed by Buckingham Palace, there will be a four-day holiday weekend stretching from Thursday 2 June to Sunday 5 June, with events including a pageant with 5 000 performers. A live concert at Buckingham Palace, called the Platinum Party at the Palace, will feature “the world’s biggest entertainment stars”, the palace says. While the monarch officially reaches her 70-year mark on 6 February, the festivities will take place in the first week of June (as they did with her golden and diamond jubilees) as the weather is traditionally better. The Trooping the Colour – the official celebration of the queen’s birthday in April – will be held in full for the first time since 2019. As is tradition, it will see senior royals gathering on the balcony of…

SO IRRITATING ›› BACNE Back acne occurs when pores are clogged with excess oil and bacteria becomes trapped, creating a cesspool for spots to multiply and become inflamed. But pimples don’t always stop at the back. They can creep up on the chest, shoulders, arms and even the bottom. When we sweat, particularly from exercise, this can aggravate pimples and if left for a period of time can worsen blemishes. So try to shower straight after a workout and use a deep-cleaning body wash or moisturiser-infused bar. Or try an electronic cleansing brush. Follow up with a fragrance-free no-fuss body lotion.

Handsome Henry switches from romcom star to action hero in the new G.I. Joe movie, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, as the titular masked ninja warrior. Snake Eyes is the first leading role for Henry (34), who’s best known for starring in Crazy Rich Asians (2018) and Last Christmas (2019). “The wonderful thing about this origin story is that we start right at the beginning,” he explains. In the comics on which the film is based, Snake Eyes is white. “What’s more fish-out-of-water than a white guy in Japan?” Henry says. “But we live in the 21st century. Anyone outside of their own culture is a fish out of water. You don’t need to be a different race to be a character who’s exploring or heading into the unknown.” BRINGING…

Animated fantasy. This gorgeous animated film is the third in a loose trilogy based on Celtic mythology by Irish animation studio Cartoon Saloon. Its 2D hand-drawn style, inspired by illuminated manuscripts, instantly sets it apart from the glut of glossy CG animated movies that now dominate the medium and the love and care that went into every frame is evident. Robyn Goodfellowe (voiced by Honor Kneafsey) is a rebellious English girl whose father, Bill (Sean Bean), has been summoned by the Lord Protector (Simon McBurney) to exterminate the wolves in a nearby forest in Kilkenny, Ireland, in 1650. Robyn wants to be a hunter like her father, and, disobeying him, follows him into the woods, where she encounters a wild girl, Mebh – pronounced “maeve” – (Eva Whittaker), who challenges…

YOU NEED TO KNOW BY NICOLA MORIARTY HarperCollins Secrets and lies that can destroy are at the heart of this dark family drama set in Australia. It starts with a devastating car crash, then moves back in time to introduce the Lewis family. Jill is dealing with the loss of her husband and ignoring a mysterious email. She has three sons who are all successful writers (much like this novel’s author, whose sisters are writers Liane Moriarty of Big Little Lies fame and Jaclyn Moriarty). Illustrator Mimi, married to Pete, is dealing with newborn twins and worried about her eldest, teenager Callie, who’s become withdrawn and angry. Teacher Andrea, married to Tony, is worried about her neighbour’s daughter while trying to reconnect with her husband. Meanwhile, third son Darren is…

THE Olympic Games is the only international sporting event in which men and women can compete in a wide variety of sports activities. It’s a sporting showcase that unites and inspires the world. More than 200 countries compete in more than 400 events at both the Summer and Winter Games. Here’s more about where it all started. FIRST OLYMPIC GAMES The first Olympic Games took place in ancient Greece in the year 776 BC. Every four years, freeborn (not slaves) Greek men would come together to take part in a sporting festival at the ancient Greek religious sanctuary of Olympia, where the king of the gods, Zeus, was worshipped. Olympia is located in the region of Elis in the west of the Greek Peloponnesian peninsula, and consists of temples, gyms and…

ALMOST four decades ago a desperate woman sent John Hardy a letter. “Dear Sir,” Carol Jennings, from Nottingham in England, wrote in her careful handwriting. “I was very interested to read of your research in the Alzheimer’s Disease Society News and think my family could be of use.” Her 63-year-old father had Alzheimer’s, she said, “as does his sister, Audrey. His brother, Arthur, also may have the disease”. Hardy remembers reading it. “She said, ‘My doctor keeps telling me it doesn’t run in the family, but here’s my family tree, and it clearly does’.” Throughout her family were people who developed Alzheimer’s and did so in their 50s, and she wanted answers.” This is the letter that launched a thousand studies, the letter that, in a roundabout way, led to…

SHE’S SMART She’s more than just a pretty face – last month Shudu graduated with an honours degree in international relations from Wits University. “Growing up, my Gugu [grandmother] always stressed education was a fundamental stepping stone to success,” she said at the virtual ceremony. “How proud she would have been of me, her little Abi, who has earned this university degree.” Shudu was known as Abigail as a child and granny Mbulaheni fondly called her Abi. SHE’S CARING The 25-year-old is an advocate for mental-health awareness and this year launched her online mental-health initiative. Every week she hosts #MindfulMondays, an online series in which she has conversations with experts on the topic. “The more we talk about it, the more we’ll learn and understand the complexities of this issue,”…

In honour of PRINCE GEORGE’S eighth birthday on 22 July his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, released a new photo of the heir to the British throne. Captured by his mother Kate, a budding amateur photographer, the picture features the young prince flashing a toothy grin. The pic also includes a special tribute to George’s great-grandfather that even some eagle-eyed royal watchers may have missed. In the image Prince George sits on the hood of a navy blue Land Rover Defender. This off-road vehicle was beloved by the late Prince Philip, who also had a Land Rover Defender customised to be the hearse at his funeral in April.…

If everyone disposed of their junk in a responsible way there wouldn’t be beaches, cities and oceans filled with junk! It’s not rocket science, people.

Never one to stay silent for long, Meghan’s dad, Thomas Markle, has resurfaced – and this time he’s threatening legal action. The 77-year-old, who’s been estranged from his daughter since before her 2018 wedding, says he’ll go to court if that’s what it takes to see his grandson Archie and granddaughter Lilibet. “We shouldn’t be punishing the children for Meghan and Harry’s bad behaviour,” Thomas told US TV channel Fox News. “Archie and Lili are small children. They’re not politics. They’re not pawns. They’re not part of the game. I’ll be petitioning the California courts for the rights to see my grandchildren in the near future.” Thomas also slammed the news that Harry will be releasing his memoirs next year. “You’d think after three sessions with the psychiatrists and Oprah…

IT WILL go down in history as one of the darkest periods in South African history and the country will count the cost of the frenzied looting and large-scale destruction for years to come. Yet SA is already rising out of the ashes and people are coming together to sweep away the horror and help rebuild a nation. And while there have been many heroes emerging in the wake of the unrest, one young woman has quietly been making waves, armed with a cellphone in one hand and a black plastic bag in the other. Emelda Masango (25), from Crown Mines in Johannesburg, is the driving force behind the Rebuild SA group – an initiative where people give up their time to clean and rebuild shops, malls and streets affected…

Mary Wallace “Wally” Funk (82) beat US astronaut John Glenn’s record – he was 77 on his second trip to space on the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1998. Wally was nine when she took her first flying lesson and at 22 she underwent astronaut training in a privately funded project to see how women held up to the pressures of space flight. Despite the project’s findings – that women were perfectly capable of being astronauts – Wally never went to space. America’s first female astronaut, physicist Sally Ride, took off in the Space Shuttle in 1983. In an Instagram video, Jeff Bezos asked Wally how it felt to finally become an astronaut. She replied, “I would say, ‘Honey, that was the best thing that ever happened to me’.”…

There’s no standardised approved therapy for RLS, neuropsychiatrist Dr Irshaad Ebrahim says. Va rious medications are prescribed, including dopamine agonists, benzodiazepines, opioids, muscle relaxants, levodopa and medications used to treat Parkinson’s (though in lower doses). It’s not always necessary to take prescription medications for RLS, especially if symptoms are mild. In these cases it’s best to start by making lifestyle adjustments, such as getting more exercise, going for massages and soaking your legs in warm water. If, however, your RLS is related to an underlying condition, you need to treat that condition first. “If it’s caused by an iron deficiency, taking iron supplements can make the symptoms disappear,” Dr Kruger says. “Other things that can improve symptoms include quitting smoking; limiting or avoiding sugar, alcohol and caffeine; taking mineral supplements;…

■ Their love of self-expression suggests they’ll be a great actor or artist. ■ Their heart is the main body part, so they’d potentially make a good doctor or psychologist. ■ Their love of leading makes them an ideal managing director or boss. ■ Being a lover of luxury, they’re suitable to work with luxury items such as jewellery. ■ They need recognition, so no menial job will suffice. ■ They love partying, so party planning is their thing. ■ They’re creative, so they could be in advertising.…

THE HOW NOT TO DIET COOKBOOK BY MICHAEL GREGER Pan Macmillan Dr Greger is a man on a mission to find the best, most sustainable way to lose weight. The New York Times bestselling author and founder of NutritionFacts.org is anti the diet industry and pro science. He’s set his position out in his books, How Not To Die and How Not To Diet. At the core of his philosophy is the daily dozen, what he calls “green-light foods” of plant origin that he wants people to incorporate into their diets. Foods such as berries, beans, nuts and seeds, herbs and spices and cruciferous vegetables. He also promotes 21 tweaks that can propel your weight-loss efforts, such as preloading with water at every meal, and consuming nigella seeds, cumin and…

THE ANCIENT GAMES END In the second century BC Greece fell to the Roman Empire, but the games continued. Then in the third century AD Roman emperor Theodosius I, who was a devout Christian, came to power. In 393 AD he banned the religious rituals surrounding the games as they were pagan and not Christian. And so the sporting tradition came to an end. MODERN REVIVAL In 1896, the Olympic Games took place again for the first time in about 1 500 years. It was all thanks to the efforts of French historian and educator Pierre de Coubertin. He organised the first modern Olympic Games that year in Athens, Greece, as a nod to the ancient Games. The modern Games weren’t just for men either – women could also compete.…

FIVE designer dresses, two days, dozens of guests dressed in all their finery and a romantic venue fit for a princess. All this and more went down the day Lady Kitty Spencer said “I do” to South African-born billionaire Michael Lewis at an occasion dripping in glamour and oozing wealth and privilege. Kitty, niece of the late Princess Diana, daughter of Charles Spencer, cousin of William and Harry and sister to a genetically blessed brood of siblings, made sure her wedding to her much-older groom was an affair to remember. Festivities kicked off with a rehearsal dinner at the opulent Galleria Del Cardinale, a historical event venue in Rome, after which guests headed to their rooms at the exquisite five-star Hotel de la Ville, where accommodation costs around R20 000…

When I woke up this morning it was still dark. Everyone was still sleeping as I peeked out of the living-room window. The streetlights were bright. The traffic lights were working. That meant that all through the night the transformers had been working and there would be electricity to take a nice hot shower, to charge my phone and allow me to write this letter. I heard the trucks running. The food was being delivered to the grocery stores. I’d be able to buy oats to make my breakfast and vegetables to make soup for dinner. One thing the looting catastrophe has taught me is that we take things for granted. Small things that may not seem like much, things we don’t appreciate until life slaps us in the face.…

TIP 1 Outdoor rugs made from polypropylene also work wonders indoors, especially if you have kids and pets with muddy feet! They’re easy to clean with a hosepipe and come in vibrant colours. TIP 2 Bigger is always better when it comes to rugs. Your living-room rug should be at least the same the length as the couch. Make sure the front legs of all furniture can fit onto the rug or come as close as possible. TIP 3 Don’t be afraid to use loose rugs on top of wall-to-wall carpets. This works well in bedrooms as an extra textural layer while also protecting the carpet underneath. If you have the space, choose a rug twice the length of the bed and lay it horizontally at the foot end of…

Comedy drama. Scott (Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson) has been a case of arrested development since his firefighter father’s death. He lives with his mother (Marisa Tomei) and spends his days smoking dagga with his friends while dreaming of being a tattoo artist. When his mother starts dating Ray (Bill Burr), a local firefighter, Scott is forced to grapple with his grief and take his first steps forward in life. This semi-autobiographical dramedy is co-written by director Judd Apatow, Davidson and former SNL writer Dave Sirus. It’s loosely based on Davidson’s life – he grew up in Staten Island and, when he was seven, lost his firefighter father in the 9/11 attacks. While the film changes some of the details, it remains an edgy, honest story with heartwarming and…

VARIOUS ARTISTS Fast & Furious 9: The Fast Saga Music is as much a part of the Fast and Furious franchise as fast cars and, well uh, family. Furious 7’s Paul Walker tribute track, See You Again by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth, was a poignant global hit, and while there’s nothing to match the emotional energy of that track on the new soundtrack album, it has a few bangers. Like the others, it’s heavy on hip-hop with a dollop of Spanish-language rap and EDM. Check out I Won by Ty Dolla $ign, Jack Harlow and 24kGoldn; Fast Lane by Don Toliver, Lil Durk and Latto; and Lane Switcha by Skepta and the late Pop Smoke featuring ASAP Rocky, Project Pat and Juicy J.

Unlike today, ancient Olympic champions didn’t get a gold, silver or bronze medal. There was also only one victor in each event – those in second and third place weren’t acknowledged.

THEY seemed to have it all: two kids, luxury mansions, a superyacht, a private jet, an extensive art collection and enough money to buy whatever else they wanted. Yet when they appeared in the London High Court, the judge described the Akhmedov family as one of the unhappiest to ever have appeared in her courtroom. For five years Tatiana Akhmedova has been locked in a messy legal battle with her billionaire ex-husband, Farkhad Akhmedov. In 2016 she was awarded an astronomical settlement where she’d get a little less than half of the Russian businessman’s £1 billion (then R17bn) estate. The court ruled Tatiana, who lives in London, is entitled to £453m (R7,7bn) – one of the biggest divorce payouts in history. But her ex-husband refused to hand over a single…

QINISO VAN DAMME and GARETH EHRET can’t get enough of each other since finding love on The Bachelorette South Africa. The lovebirds, who spent most of lockdown cooped up together, were thrilled to take their first vacation when they headed to Kenya for two weeks. “The country has so much to offer, we couldn’t get enough,” Gareth tells us. The couple, who’ve been planning their holiday since January, also explored the tourist attraction Diani Beach on the south coast of Kenya as well as the capital city, Nairobi. There they hired scooters to see the city and feasted on local dishes and beer. “We found a sandbank in the middle of the ocean. It felt like we were walking on water,” Gareth gushes.

She’s an icon of country music, a philanthropist with a heart as big as her famous assets and a pint-sized package of ageless sass. But if there’s one thing DOLLY PARTON really, really wants to do in her life it’s to make Carl Dean – her husband of 57 years – happy, and she went all out when he recently turned 79. In a video titled “It’s always #HotGirlSummer for my husband,” Dolly (75) got all dolled up to recreate her famous 1978 Playboy cover, which Carl is said to have loved back then. “He still thinks I’m a hot chick after 57 years and I’m not going to try to talk him out of that.”…
