I’VE never been a gym kind of girl. Okay, I’ve never reeeeally been an exercise kind of girl either. But the past two years have taken their toll and I’ve recently been trying to get back into shape. Still, when our events team started talking about Saturday Night Fitness I got a bit nervous. “South Africa’s Ultimate Workout Party”, as they’re calling it, is a chance to get fit and have fun – and best when done with a friend or three. I’m building up the nerve to haul along every pal I have after denouncing group exercise activities for so long. But I’m assured this is a great excuse to get together and get your heart pumping – with a goodie bag thrown in. There’ll be a high-intensity interval…

TRUMP COULD DO TIME Former US president faces potential prosecution THERE are a growing number of calls for former US president Donald Trump to face prosecution for his role in the mob attack on the US Capitol on 6 January last year that left five people dead. Since hearings by the US House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol began in June, new evidence and testimony have shed light on how it was sparked. What has emerged is a picture of a president so obsessed with holding on to power that he falsely claimed the election had been stolen, despite being told otherwise by his own advisers. Trump prodded the US justice department to support his lies, pressed officials to flip votes for…

WILL it be Dishy Rishi or Iron-Lady wannabe Liz? This is the question hovering over the UK as it enters its summer holiday season. Rishi Sunak, who led the revolt of ministers that ousted Boris Johnson, will be the first prime minister of colour should he get the top job – but polls have his rival Liz Truss in the lead right now. As they go head-to-head, we look at the two candidates running the race of their lives. CLAIM TO FAME Rishi became Britain’s Chancellor of the Exchequer in February 2020, not long before the pandemic gripped the world. ‘I DON’T CUT TAXES TO WIN ELECTIONS – I WIN ELECTIONS TO CUT TAXES’ RISHI SUNAK (42) BACKGROUND His grandparents are from India and his parents, Yashvir, a GP, and…

HE HAD his heart set on university and was thrilled when he was accepted to study public management at the University of Johannesburg. But in his second year, in 2012, he was forced to drop out because of a lack of funds. Smanga Mthembu could’ve joined the ranks of millions of unemployed young South Africans, many of whom have given up looking for work. Instead he looked around to see what he could do, not only for himself but for others and the environment – and today the 30-year-old entrepreneur is a business-owner who employs a team of six and is making a difference to the lives of many. Smanga is the owner of Umphakathi Recyclers in White City, Soweto, operating a burgeoning recycling operation in the once-rubbish-strewn grounds of…

CLEANSE, exfoliate, treat, mask, hydrate, moisturise, protect – let’s be honest, when it comes to our daily skincare routine most of us pamper our faces with indulgent multistep routines. But when it comes to the rest of our skin we tend to cut corners. Our body deserves to be pampered too, but since it’s skin is thicker than facial skin, it doesn’t show signs of ageing as quickly. The result? We tend to forget that it requires the same TLC until symptoms such as dry hands, back acne or chest wrinkles start to crop up. If your existing body care routine still consists of washing with a bar of soap and slapping on the occasional lotion, it’s time for an upgrade that will maintain the health and appearance of your…

I BUILT MY WORLD AROUND HER BUT SHE TREATS ME SO BADLY Q I’ve been to hell and back with the woman I regard as the love of my life. Last year I started working night shift and afterwards I started noticing dramatic changes in her behaviour towards me. First it was insults, then she started saying how other men wanted her and that they always compliment her on how sexy she is. I thought she was trying to make me jealous. Then she actually dragged me along with her on Christmas Day to see a guy to wish him happy birthday. She was having an affair with him but I only discovered that later. She’d been lying in bed next to me late at night messaging this man to…

READ THESE DIRT TOWN By HAYLEY SCRIVENOR Pan Macmillan Twelve-year-old best friends Esther and Ronnie leave school together one Friday in their small Australian town, but after they part ways only one of them reaches her home. Sydney missing-person police experts Sarah Michaels and Wayne Smith are immediately sent to handle the search for Esther and need to quickly understand the dynamics of the town of Durton, nicknamed Dirt Town by the locals. As time passes without finding her, suspicion among the locals intensifies and secrets are slowly forced out. There’s a host of narrators, including Sarah, Esther’s distraught mother Constance, as well as Ronnie, who wants to do her own investigating, and Lewis, a boy in their class who thinks he might know something about her disappearance but is…

THREE-year-olds love to talk. Ask any parent and they’ll tell you it’s chatter, chatter, chatter from the moment they open their eyes to the second they go to sleep. It’s enough to drive you around the bend sometimes – but one family can’t get enough. Each word their little girl speaks is music to her parents’ ears, a sign that she’s well on her way to becoming like millions of other kids out there: a nonstop chatterbox. Arabella Leeuw of Oudtshoorn in the Western Cape was born with an enlarged tongue that protruded from her mouth and made swallowing, breathing and talking difficult. But thanks to recent surgery, little Arabella has a chance to be like any other kid, and doctors have told her parents there’s no reason she won’t…

THEIR relationship has more twists and turns than a cheap garden hose. He cheated on her while she was pregnant, kissed a family friend, then it emerged he’d fathered a child with his personal trainer. You’d think with all this Khloé Kardashian would want nothing more to do with serial cad Tristan Thompson – but two little people will ensure the pair will forever have a bond. Their daughter, True, is four and a new baby will be born via surrogate any day now. It will mark child number four for the basketball star and while he and Khloé are barely on speaking terms anymore she has “zero doubt” he’ll be a good dad to the new tot. “The one positive thing she’s clung onto all along is that Tristan…

“My favourite thing ever – which I have yet to achieve – I wanna have a kid. That’s like my dream.”– PETE DAVIDSON ON WANTING TO BE A DAD “An example would be, ‘Were you breastfed by your mother?’ That’s a great question because that has a lot to do with your psychology and your temperament.”– MEGAN FOX ON ONE OF THE WEIRD QUESTIONS SHE ASKED FIANCÉ MACHINE GUN KELLY WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED DATING “I wasn’t really set up to believe that I was desirable. For me, being a pop star, part of it is people either want to be you or be with you.”– RAPPER LIZZO ON THE LACK OF BODY INCLUSIVITY IN THE MUSIC AND FASHION INDUSTRIES “I really don’t miss it at all. The team is…

From designer onesies to miniature Bentleys and mountains of cash, these hip-hop offspring are no strangers to the finer things in life. KULTURE KIARI CEPHUS A doll or fancy gadget wasn’t going to cut it as a gift when Kulture, the daughter of Offset and Cardi B, recently turned four. The pair of rappers surprised their little one with $50 000 (about R850 000) in cash. But it’s not the first time she’s received an outlandishly expensive gift for her birthday. For her second birthday the couple gifted her with a Hermès Birkin bag which retails for around $11 000 (R187 000). MADISON MAMPE Not many eight-year-old girls in South Africa, or the world for that matter,have their own clothing brand. That makes Madison, the eldest daughter of South…

REST IN PEACE, BELOVED BROTHER R400! I wrote a letter to YOU that was published in 24th March edition about my brother who was given a short period to live. I’m sad to tell you that he passed away on 26 June. Two days before he died I was leaning over him feeding him blueberries, chocolate and apple juice. I leant over him and said, “Thanks for being such a wonderful big brother”. He answered “Thanks, but I was just a normal boet”. On the morning of his death I received two emojis from him. One was a thumbs up and the other a rose. I have his mobile and that’s the last communication he had with anyone. I will treasure this, among all the other memories. He played the…

EVERY STEP COUNTS A teacher notices a third grader wearing a Fitbit watch, which prompts her to ask, “Are you tracking your steps?” “No,” says the little girl. “I wear this for Mommy so she can show Daddy when he gets home.” SPEAKING OUT OF TURN A boy asks his father, “Dad, are bugs good to eat?” “That’s gross. Don’t talk about that over dinner,” the dad replies. After dinner the father says, “So, what did you want to ask?” The boy responds, “Nothing. There was a bug in your soup. It’s gone now.” IN KNOTS A string walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender says, “I’m sorry, but we don’t serve strings here.” The string goes back to his table, ties himself in a loop and…

HAVE you ever wondered how to grow plants without the need for soil? Here, we show you how to do exactly that. The method is called hydroponics and gardeners and farmers worldwide use it to grow plants in liquids, gravel and other growth mediums rather than soil. WHAT YOU NEED STEP BY STEP STEP 1 Use the scissors to cut five pieces of string each, about as long as a kebab skewer. STEP 2 Ask an adult to cut the bottle in half. Cover the sharp edges of the two halves with masking tape so you don’t accidentally cut yourself later. STEP 3 Fill the bottom half of the bottle with about 10cm of water. RESULT The beans will germinate after a few days. Within a week or two, roots…

HE’S as well-known for being a hard-partying love rat as he is for his football success. She’s his long-suffering wife, taking him back each time for the sake of the kids. They have a penchant for exotic holidays, where she soaks up the sun in an endless supply of bikinis. Home is a mansion in Cheshire, England, with its own whisky and cigar room and a football pitch on the grounds.

IT’S an important emotion because it’s usually a sign that something isn’t right or that someone has done you wrong. But anger can also be damaging – it can impair your judgment, have a negative impact on your health and cause problems in your relationships if it’s not controlled. “Anger can be destructive,” says Canadian psychologist Peter Sacco, author of What’s Your Anger Type? “But I’ve also seen the flip side where anger is used constructively and becomes a call to action. It can be a time when passive, timid people who normally sit back and watch bad things happen to themselves or others finally start to act and master their worlds.” WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE SO ANGRY? How angry we are – or not – is often influenced by…

SHE grew up on a farm in the Australian Outback, hunting wild pigs and tearing around on a motorbike. Back then Tinseltown felt like a foreign world, a big shiny carrot dangling across oceans and continents. And it’s a carrot Margot Robbie wanted so badly she went out and grabbed it with both hands. In fact, she’s practically gobbled up the whole thing. The 32-year-old star has just been named Hollywood’s highest-earning female actor after being paid $12,5 million (R210 million) for bringing a plastic doll to life. Margot tops Variety magazine’s latest list of Hollywood top earners – and the salary she’s getting for playing Barbie in the upcoming Barbie Girl movie is the same as the one Ryan Gosling, who plays Ken, is taking home. Equal pay is…
