TRIBUTE TO OUR QUEEN To our beloved Denise, Mom, Grandy, You’ve been reading YOU magazine since it was first published, so what better place to honour you than here?

We’re so proud of how your positivity radiates through your life to everyone around you. Mom, you’ve been a pillar of strength.

Your entire family want you to know just how much you’re loved while…

1 LEMON TREE At your local nursery find a variety of lemon tree that can be grown in pots. Use a citrus potting mix that has good drainage. Once the top soil is dry, water well from about 10cm from the top and give plenty of sun. “Without enough hours of direct sunlight, citrus will not flower or bear fruit,” warns Russell Davidson of Garden World. “In winter the sun is lower and a north-facing window will get sun all day – this will help with the flowering of the tree.” He adds that the tree needs to be fed with a 3:1:5 fertiliser. 2 UMBRELLA TREE (SCHEFFLERA) This tree thrives in fertilised, well-drained soil with plenty of indirect bright light and not too much water. Let the soil dry…

THE roles of Thelma & Louise were already cast by the time I read it: Holly Hunter and Frances McDormand had been the Thelma and Louise choice of writer Callie Khouri when she was going to direct her own script. After she sold the rights to Ridley Scott and Mimi Polk Gitlin to produce, Jodie Foster and Michelle Pfeiffer became the next pairing. The timing didn’t work out on that one, as Jodie went off to do an obscure little thing called The Silence of the Lambs and Michelle shot Love Field. Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep were also in talks to do Thelma & Louise, but Meryl thought one of the two main characters should survive, and that pairing also faced scheduling issues. As for me, well, I had…

IT’S a country so rich citizens don’t pay taxes and electricity. Healthcare, education and even funerals are free. Doha, the capital city with its futuristic skyline, is a gleaming monument to capitalism. Unemployment is virtually non-existent. Almost everyone who lives here is wealthy, thanks to seemingly limitless supplies of oil and natural gas. Qatar, a jewel of opulence on the Arabian Peninsula, may be tiny, but it’s the fourth richest country in the world – and soon the eyes of the globe will be on it when it hosts one of the most controversial Fifa World Cups in history. Presiding over it all is a vast royal family with unfathomably deep pockets and a penchant for doing whatever they please. THE EMIR Sports-mad Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani (42)…

SHE knows this part of the world like the back of her hand. Nicole Panos (25), a qualified field guide, works at Bhejane Nature Training and serves as student support for those learning to become field guides. She and her children live not far from her parents at Kuleni Game Park, near Hluhluwe, KwaZulu-Natal, and they regularly walk the 200m stretch through the sand forest to the main house and office. That afternoon she breastfeeds her daughter and falls asleep with both her kids in her arms. She is woken by a message notification reminding her of an appointment with a student at the office. She takes a selfie of her and the kids – little does she know it will be the last picture she ever takes of the…

HER medical history is nothing short of jaw-dropping. In the past 28 years, she’s had 112 operations to keep her body whole and functioning, and she’s by no means done yet. Hospitals, doctors, nurses and operating tables have been Mari Jansen van Vuuren’s life ever since a catastrophic crash robbed her of the future she thought she’d have – one where she’d finish school, study further, get a job and have a child. However, because of her horrific injuries, none of this has been possible. Her days now revolve around pain management and ongoing medical issues – but the 38-year-old from Ermelo has managed to find happiness and meaning in life despite all its challenges. She’s built a life with her partner and No 1 carer, Celest Breytenbach (35), and…

BEING a single dad to a tween girl comes with its challenges, but this dad will tell you the best way to handle them is head on – and he’s become something of a hero for it. Sthembiso Ndashe has melted hearts – and hopefully inspired other fathers – with a social media post he made of a hamper he put together for his 10-year-old daughter, Unathi, for when she has her first period. The post went viral, with social media users praising Sthembiso for being so proactive and setting an example for dads everywhere. Sthembiso, a Joburg-based entrepreneur and chef, filled the red box – which he topped with a pretty red ribbon – with everything a girl will need when she enters this phase of her life. Inside…

FEEL THE MUSIC IN YOUR BONES A group of historians are gathered for a party in Cairo after they discover a mummy they’ve been looking for. The mummy, which is now on display in the party hall, suddenly wakes up. Seeing the historians alarmed, the mummy simply tells them that he just wants to listen to some of his favourite music. The mummy says, “ Could someone please put on some wrap music?” THE GOLDEN OLDIES The world’s oldest woman turns 114 and reporters decide to interview her. When asked the secret of her longevity, she attributes it to taking a walk at midnight every night. When they ask whether she’s concerned about the increase in muggings in recent years, she says she’s not and adds, “I’ll continue mugging people…

READ THIS MAUREEN FRY AND THE ANGEL OF THE NORTH BY RACHEL JOYCE DOUBLEDAY In The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, the title character set off on foot on his unlikely trek across England to find his old friend Queenie Hennessy, while 1his embittered and grieving wife, Maureen, was left behind. In book two of Joyce’s trilogy – The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy – Queenie, who was dying in a hospice, got a chance to tell the story of her love for Harold and her complex relationship with his son, David, who committed suicide. We also learnt of the beautiful sea garden she created, in which she erected driftwood monuments to Harold and David. Now, Maureen gets her own story as she makes a solo expedition to Queenie’s…

‘IF ERIC HADN’T COME ALONG, GOD KNOWS WHAT WOULD’VE HAPPENED’ HIS comments were cutting enough to reduce the toughest contestants to tears. “I don’t know what cats being squashed sound like in Lithuania but I now have a pretty good idea,” he told one. “I’m tempted to ask if you sang that the night before your wife left you,” he barked at another. “Do you have a singing teacher?” he snapped at yet another. “Get a lawyer and sue her.” It was vintage Mr Nasty stuff – and it helped him become a household name the world over. Simon Cowell was the reality show judge people loved to hate, the villain of TV talent searches, the guy who could crush hearts with criticism but also make careers with a single…

1 JULIA’S MLK CONNECTION She’s one of the highest-paid actresses in the world, but when JULIA ROBERTS was born, historic civil rights activists Martin Luther King Jnr and his wife, Loretta, stepped in to help her parents pay their hospital bill. Julia (55) told talk-show host Gayle King about the two families’ connection in a recent interview. In the 60s, Walter and Betty Roberts ran an integrated theatre school in Atlanta, which the King children attended. “And so they all just became friends and they helped us out of a jam,” she said. 2 SELENA GETS RAW IN NEW DOCCIE Singer SELENA GOMEZ (30) is being unflinchingly honest about her personal struggle with bipolar disorder in the new documentary My Mind and Me.

ACTRESS GABRIELLE UNION recently celebrated her half-century birthday under our beautiful African sun – and turning 50 has never looked better. The Bring It On actress, her husband, NBA player Dwyane Wade (40), and their three-year-old daughter, Kaavia, embarked on an African birthday tour which included countries such as Ghana, Tanzania and Namibia. Dwyane also managed to pull out all the stops to surprise his wife with a birthday party in Zanzibar, Tanzania, flying in friends and family. “I’m still processing the level of effort and planning that went into pulling off such an unbelievable 50th birthday party in Zanzibar, Tanzania, and keeping the details a surprise from my nosy self,” Gabrielle wrote on Instagram. “I’m beyond grateful for all of my loved ones who flew around the world to…

TSOTSI STAR LINKED TO LOTTO FRAUD Actress Terry Pheto denies allegations ACCLAIMED actress Terry Pheto, stands to lose prime property after she was implicated in a multimillion-rand National Lotteries Commission fraud scheme being investigated by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU). Pheto says she was “shocked” when the SIU recently obtained a high court order to freeze nine luxury properties, cars and two restaurants valued at about R25 million. The assets belong to various people, including the actress. “Her name is attached to this because we were tracing the money that was supposed to have gone to an NPO (non-profit organisation), to other people, and ended up being used to buy the property that she owns,” SIU spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago says. Pheto (41) has denied any wrongdoing. “I hold the law…

IT’S that time of the year again, when hundreds of thousands of students prepare for their end-of-school exams – which will hopefully set them on course for the future and see their dreams come true. And the matric pupils at this school are no different. A matric certificate is a passport to tertiary education and jobs and they’re studying hard to get that all-important piece of paper in their hands. Even though they aren’t teenagers anymore. The Hopeful Leaders Night School in Primrose Park, Manenberg, in Cape Town is a haven for more than 600 learners – from 20-somethings all the way to 60-somethings – who all share a common goal: to finish school. It’s the brainchild of Manenberg’s Yumna Alexander (36) who, like her students, is a high-school dropout…

HE’S always been mad about soccer. As a young boy he’d spend hours listening to match commentary on a crackling FM radio, and when he arrived home from boarding school he’d watch his favourite teams on a snowy TV set. Like many other boys Robert Marawa fantasised about becoming a football star and having crowds cheer for him but over the years this was replaced by a different dream: he wanted to be a sportscaster, bringing the game to life for TV audiences with his words and expert analysis. Robert was so certain this was the path he was destined to follow that in high school he was already practising, recording himself doing mock broadcasts on his father Frank’s camcorder. And his chutzpah paid off – over the past two…

HOW CAN I GET RID OF THE GUILT? Q My husband died recently and although part of me loved him, part of me also hated him because he was abusive and tried to control my life. I feel relieved and almost happy, but I also feel so guilty that I’m not crying. Or rather, I find that when I do cry it’s with relief that he’s no longer here to abuse me. We were married for 20 years and I kept thinking I’d leave him but we have two children. They’re now grown up and have their own lives. When the youngest left home last year, I thought then that I’d leave him, but then he was diagnosed with cancer and given only a few months to live. So I…

SCORPIO 23 OCT – 21 NOV BE HONEST ABOUT YOUR FINANCES Talking about your finances with your partner is high on the agenda this week, but you also have to be super-realistic if you expect this to be fruitful or successful. Chances are that your joint financial situation is not looking so rosy, whether or not some expenses have been kept hidden or not. Eventually, the truth always surfaces if you give it enough time. Try not to rob Peter to pay Paul as it’ll only put more strain on your debt. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 16, 29, 37, 5, 34, 25 FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS SCORPIO SOULMATES ■ Scorpio: Two Scorpios will either be good or bad. ■ Taurus: You’re both stubborn and jealous. ■ Pisces: Will always forgive your wrongdoings. ■…

ARE you, like millions of people around the world, a Pokémon fan? Now 26 years old (yes, your parents probably remember it from their youth), this phenomenon, which started as a video game, is still going from strength to strength. The franchise includes TV series, movies, Pokémon Go, collectors’ cards and lots more. But what about a Pokémon doll? Instead of buying one, make your own Pikachu using just a pair of socks and a few simple items. STEP BY STEP STEP 1 Stuff one sock with cotton wool until it’s three-quarters full. Cut off the excess. STEP 2 Use the needle and thread to close the open end of the stuffed sock. Leave large gaps between the stitches so you can pull it tight later. Tie the thread and…

THE first things she tucked into when she landed were hot wings from Chicken Licken, a tall glass of Oros and a traditional meal called tshotlho ka ting (pulled beef and fermented sorghum). Having lived abroad for close to two years, Bonang Matheba missed the taste of home. “There’s no South African food in New York – not even biltong,” she tells YOU when we meet at a coffee shop in Milpark, Johannesburg. The weather is gloomy, but Bonang adds a dash of her signature sparkle, all glammed up in bootleg jeans and a Fendi shawl – looking as if she’s just stepped out of a scene from Sex and the City. The 35-year-old media personality and businesswoman headed to the Big Apple a year and a half ago to…

WHEN JESSICA SIMPSON posted a video of her showing off her three-year-old daughter Birdie’s new bedroom on Instagram, she caught fans’ attention for all the wrong reasons. In the Pottery Barn promotional video, the 42-year-old is wearing a long, summery dress which shows off her slim figure. Fans immediately noted that she was looking increasingly gaunt in her videos and commented that her speech seemed slurred. “OMG. She doesn’t look well. Her eyes are so sunken. Something isn’t right,” one follower posted, while others asked if she was okay and noted that she looked frail and was behaving strangely. Jessica, who’s been open about her struggles with her weight and substance abuse, hit back with a post of her singing one of her songs, saying she hasn’t had alcohol in…
