FROM JOY TO SADNESS I was privileged to attend the Springboks match against the All Blacks recently. Oh my word! Such excitement, camaraderie and national pride. The highlights were the plane flying over (I nearly fell off my chair), the singing of the national anthem (hoarse voices and leaking eyes everywhere) and the game, of course. Afterwards the stadium burst onto the streets and fans spilled out. With expected traffic jams as shuttles and taxis sat gridlocked in their spots, we stood in the CBD streets and experienced an environment unfamiliar to us, the stuff you only read about. You know it exists, but it’s removed from our own reality. Young kids, not yet teenagers, dirty, wearing threadbare T-shirts on this freezing night, asking for coins; a baby, not even…

WHEN a devastating cyclone hit Bangladesh in 1991, a young couple from Pietermaritzburg watched the images of suffering in horror. They had to do something, Dr Imtiaz and Zohra Sooliman told each other. The medical doctor and his preschool-teacher wife got to work. They collected donations of food, clothing and other essential items to send to the South Asian country. But they faced a hurdle: getting everything there. Then the SA government gave them a fully crewed ship to transport the goods. “All they asked in return was that we drop off a few trucks in Turkey on the way,” Zohra (58) tells us at a Cape Town hotel where she’s staying while on a business trip. It was the start of a journey that would see the launch of…

THE beauty industry is bursting with innovation, so it’s no wonder that we often find ourselves with makeup bags overflowing with products and samples that we might never use.

HE WAS a promising young rugby player but his dreams of playing professionally were dashed when he started hanging out with the wrong crowd. But Jaseen de Jongh from Atlantis, near Cape Town, managed to turn his life around and he and his wife, Jamilla, went on to raise sons who are as crazy about the sport as he once was. Now the couple have been rewarded with two rugby success stories in their family. Their boys, Shah-Jehaan (18) and Jameel (17), were recently selected for the Springbok junior teams. Shah-Jehaan, who plays as a centre, was selected for the U18 team and winger Jameel was chosen for the U18A team. The two brothers have a bright future ahead of them – Shah-Jehaan has been recruited to play for the…

SHE’S been gone for 25 years yet her influence – and the memories – remain. Few will forget just how much she changed the monarchy, especially in the way kids are raised, and how determined she was to ensure her sons, William and Harry, would be okay. In the book William at 40: The Making of a Modern Monarch, royal expert Robert Jobson delves into the princes’ upbringing, painting a picture of two boys living a life of privilege and indulgence while being doted on by the most famous woman in the world. • Extracted from William at 40: The Making of a Modern Monarch by Robert Jobson. THE HEIR AND THE SPARE From a very early age, Harry understood he was in the shadow of his elder brother, aware…

HE CONSIDERED studying criminal law in the final year of his law degree – but it hit too close to home. He’s going to focus on intellectual property law instead so that it doesn’t bring him anywhere near the kind of people he’d have to encounter in criminal matters. Nobody could blame Cheslin Marsh for wanting to steer clear of anyone who could remind him of the fateful day he nearly lost his life – the day his friend, Hannah Cornelius, was killed. Cheslin has worked hard to overcome the trauma of the attack in May 2017. But he’s still haunted by Hannah’s murder in the five years since it happened, he says. YOU meets Cheslin (25) at home in Wellington, about 40km from Stellenbosch, the Western Cape town where…

FAUX-FLOWER POWER Keep vases in neutral tones but with some texture when showing off pretty blooms. We paired fresh flowers with faux ones to fill the vases. FLAIR WITH FRUIT Use leftover fresh fruit from any party meal prep to create a vibrant centre display. Add any greens or flowers to round it off. A rustic wood-rimmed plate works well here. INSPIRED BY NATURE We added extra foliage, succulents and garden flowers to a faux-green centrepiece to create a striking look paired with simple dinnerware. COOL BLUE Choose a main colour such as blue and keep the rest simple – think single-stem flowers in vases and other vessels like drinking bottles, which we used here too.

I’M SO TIRED OF DOING THE HONOURABLE THING Q I’ve fallen in love with a stunning woman I met a month ago. She’s employed by a company I deal with through my work and we have so much in common. The problem is I’m married. I got married two years ago because my girlfriend fell pregnant and we thought we should do the right thing. But then two months after we tied the knot she had a miscarriage. At the time I tried to convince myself that I was in love with my wife and could carry on with the marriage, but the truth is I realised soon after the wedding that I don’t love her. We’re different types of people. I love adventure, being active and trying new experiences.…

MAD BAD LOVE By SARA-JAYNE MAKWALA KING Melinda Ferguson Books SHE always sounds so upbeat on the radio – few people listening to Sara-Jayne Makwala King would’ve had any idea of the hell she was going through. But now, in her new memoir, Mad Bad Love, the popular CapeTalk presenter opens up about the desperation she felt as she tried to rescue the man she loved from heroin addiction. For more than a decade, Enver popped in and out of her life as he struggled to break free of his drug habit. After falling pregnant with his child, however, SJ became even more determined to make him see the light. But how can you help someone who doesn’t seem to want to be saved? For readers sitting judging from the…

HIS voice calls out from the studio where he’s filming TikTok videos with the Expresso crew. “I’ll be with you in a minute!” The studio is buzzing when we arrive and Katlego Maboe seems to be loving every moment. It’s been two years since he was last on the show and he’s so happy to be back that he’s here on his day off. “I come around as often as I can,” Katlego (35) tells us when we meet him at the Cape Town studio where the SABC3 morning show is filmed. His two drama-filled years are behind him. In 2020 he was at the centre of a storm when his then-partner of five years, Monique Muller, and her brother, Seth, alleged that the presenter and singer had cheated on…

WHEN we first met her, she was a scowling, shaven-headed young girl, destined for fame and fortune. Now, six years later, she’s proven it by transforming from child star to superstar, with a burgeoning business portfolio. Millie Bobby Brown, whom we watched grow up on the small screen, celebrated her 18th birthday in February this year by overhauling her look. Gone was the brunette crop made famous by her Stranger Things character, Eleven. In came long blonde tresses, a golden-brown tan and corrected teeth. But Millie’s transformation isn’t just superficial. She has fingers in various business pies, she’s hitting school hard, and her acting career is soaring. She’s now the second-highest-earning actress of 2022, after Margot Robbie. This is thanks to a $10 million (R17m) payday for the sequel to…

1 KEVIN’S COMEBACK HITS A SNAG KEVIN SPACEY (63), who landed three movie roles in the past two years, has been on the comeback trail since his acting career was largely derailed by sexual assault and misconduct claims starting in 2017. But a massive legal loss and fresh allegations of sexual abuse may just put an end to any hope of redemption for the two-time Oscar winner. Earlier this month he was ordered by a judge to pay $31 million (R511,5 million) to the company that axed him from Netflix series House of Cards after allegations of sexual harassment emerged. News of Kevin’s legal loss comes just weeks after he pleaded not guilty in London’s Old Bailey court to four charges of sexual assault against three men, in cases dating…

‘I try to get 20 minutes of cardio at least three times a week. Then I do anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour of old-school lunges, weights, squats and bicep curls’– CINDY CRAWFORD ‘I only eat when I’m hungry and stop when I’m full. But always healthy food, no snacks’– DEMI MOORE ‘I aim for seven days a week of training and normally hit five.

INSIDE THE ROYAL RIFT Zulu king crowned amid controversy MISUZULU kaZwelithini is one step closer to his official state coronation as Zulu king after he was recently crowned in a traditional ceremony at the royal palace in Nongoma, KwaZulu-Natal. Misuzulu (48) is the son of the previous king, King Goodwill Zwelithini, but his ascension to the throne has been marred by debate because some royals say he’s not the rightful heir. King Zwelithini, who died in March last year, left a will naming his third wife, Queen Mantfombi Dlamini Zulu, as regent pending the appointment of a successor. But she died a month later, in April 2021, and left the throne to their son in her will. Two of the late king’s sons, Simakade ka Zwelithini and Buzabazi ka Zwelithini,…

IT WOULD be hard to find a more picturesque spot. With its rosebushes, trees full of birdsong and sweeping views of majestic snow-capped mountains, the garden on the outskirts of Timaru in New Zealand is spectacular. But it’s also home to a multitude of sorrows. Next to a pink flowering shrub and a tree in the memorial garden at Salisbury Park Crematorium is a plaque. “Gone too soon,” reads the message inscribed on it, which is accompanied by a picture of three young girls on a slide. Their faces would be instantly recognisable to many South Africans: they’re the three Dickason children who died last year in a horrific family tragedy that sent shockwaves across two countries (YOU, 30 September 2021). When Dr Graham Dickason’s heartrending pleas for help rang…

THE dawn air was fresh and crisp and the roads free from people, traffic and noise when he set out on his early morning run. He was preparing for the Soweto Marathon and had planned a lengthy route through Benoni near Johannesburg. But René Memmel was barely a kilometre into his run when he was stopped in his tracks by two pit bulls roaming the street. “They approached me slowly – they didn’t bark or anything,” René tells YOU. “As soon as they came towards me, they lunged at me. The one mauled my thigh and the other one started ripping at my hand.” The 38-year-old runner was terrified. He screamed to attract the attention of neighbours, while also trying to fight off the dogs. He desperately swung at the…

QUICK THINKING A police officer attempts to stop a car for speeding but the guy gradually increases his speed until he’s topping 160 km/h. The man eventually realises he can’t escape and finally pulls over. The cop approaches the car and says, “It’s been a long day and my shift is almost over, so if you can give me a good excuse for your behaviour, I’ll let you go.” The guy thinks about it for a few seconds. Then he says, “My wife ran away with a cop about a week ago. I thought you might be that officer trying to give her back!” DO YOU KNOW? Q: What is the tallest building in the entire world? A: The library, because it has so many stories. Q: Why did the…

COLOURED glass artworks, which are most beautiful when they catch the sun’s rays, are known for being part of big buildings. But by learning to make your own imitation stained glass, they can be inside your home too. They are easy to create – and they can look almost as good as the real thing. WHAT YOU NEED WARNING Working with glass can be dangerous, so make sure an adult assists you with this project. STEP BY STEP 1 Choose your own design and draw it with a pencil on a piece of paper. Alternatively you can print a design from the internet or a colouring book. Make sure the piece of paper is the same size as the glass of your picture frame. TIP: You can draw any fun…

IT’S hard not to gag at the foul smell that hangs in the air. It’s the stench of death, say the residents who live near the town’s new crematorium – and it’s constant and unforgiving. The air reeks of burnt hair and nails and rotting flesh. And the residents of Despatch in the Eastern Cape have had enough. It’s been weeks since Christolene Fleurs has been able to stomach eating in the morning. “I go to work on an empty stomach because you can’t eat breakfast with that putrid smell in your nostrils,” Christolene, from Reservoir Hills, tells YOU. “The stench is bad, but it’s worse knowing that it’s the smell of dead people hanging around you.” The culprit, residents say, is the chimney of the Graham Bell Street crematorium,…

THE second season of the hit dating show The Bachelor SA didn’t turn out quite the way she’d hoped. But something much more special was waiting in the wings for Bridget Marshall – and today is the day it all comes together. The former reality TV show contestant is marrying former Golden Lions rugby player Kobus de Kock at the Brenaissance Wine & Stud Estate in Devon Valley near Stellenbosch in the Western Cape. Kobus’ eyes fill with tears as his bride walks down the aisle on the arm of her father, Colin. It’s an emotional moment and soon Bridget is teary too. The couple hold hands as they recite the wedding vows they wrote. Bridget struggles to get the first words out. “My love, where do I begin to…

JUST when you thought the domestic spat betweenANGELINA JOLIE and BRAD PITT couldn’t get any worse. The latest turn in the couple’s protracted custody battle comes in the wake of a leaked FBI report, outlining details of the former couple’s heated altercation on a private jet back in 2016. Angie (47) reportedly anonymously filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request under the name Jane Doe for this report earlier this year. In it, Brad is accused of saying one of the couple’s children “looked like a f*****g Columbine kid” – referring to the gunmen in the 1999 US high-school shooting – and claiming Angie was “ruining the family”. During the flight, from France to California in the US, Brad allegedly spilt wine on a plane seat and “poured beer…

ALTHOUGH the reality is only just beginning to sink in for NDAVI NOKERI, being crowned Miss SA is something she’s been laser-focused on for a while. “For two years I told myself I was Miss South Africa 2022 as part of an affirmation. I have uttered these words more than a thousand times but to be able to say it today and it actually being my reality is so humbling,” says Ndavi, who was crowned at a glamorous event at the SunBet Arena in Pretoria recently. Still, as much as she longed to one day reign as Miss SA, Ndavi – who is from Gavaza village in Tzaneen, Limpopo – didn’t believe her dream would ever come true. “I started watching the pageant in my teens and I never thought…
