LIVING WITH THE THREAT OF FIRE The sweet, loyal lady who’s worked for our family for many years is a longtime resident of the Masiphumelele informal settlement near Cape Town. She’s lost her shack to fire eight times. She’s woken up regularly in the middle of the night with shouts of “fire”! She has to quickly gather essential belongings and rush to assist with buckets of water. Residents who manage to save their beds and fridges have to go to work the next day but come back to find them stolen. Government funding to rebuild has stopped. She refuses offers to resettle elsewhere because of loyalty to the family and friends who’ve often saved her life. There’s no space between shacks and firefighters can’t get their trucks in. This is…

RACHEL’S road to motherhood was one of the many highlights of the show that made Jennifer Aniston famous. The storyline was vintage Friends: laugh-out-loud funny with pockets of poignancy, Rachel navigating the ups and downs of little Emma’s babyhood while the rest of the gang went along for the ride. But how Jen must’ve envied the kooky character she played. For years she tried to get pregnant, embarking on a long and lonely secret battle for a baby that would ultimately end in heartbreak. And it’s this journey she’s now spoken about for the first time, revealing how she did everything to try to conceive during her late thirties and forties. “I was trying to get pregnant,” she says in a new interview with Allure magazine. “It was a challenging…

WEEK after week, hit after hit, he gave it his all – and South Africa, in love with his golden voice and humble yet dynamic stage presence, rewarded him for it. Thapelo Molomo, the singing cop who stole hearts during season 18 of Idols SA, is now R1 million richer and a whole lot more famous – but he has no intention of quitting his day job. “I might record a single, but I’m not going to resign from my job,” says the 29-year-old, who’s a police psychologist in Brits, North West. “Helping others remains my passion. I’ll also continue with ministry through gospel performances at spiritual gatherings because ministry will always remain my other passion,” he tells YOU. He believes music and counselling go hand in hand. “Both aim…

I FEEL GUILTY ABOUT HOW I TREATED MY PARENTS Q I was an impossible teenager and my parents went out of their way to cope with me and teach me the lessons I’d need later in life. I resented them for it and even as I went into adulthood I couldn’t see that what they were doing for me was for my own good. I thought they were just trying to ruin my fun by not allowing me to go out with friends until the early hours and making a fuss about drugs. My parents were killed in a car accident a few years back. In the meantime I’ve matured and now have a teenage son of my own. Only now do I realise what my parents did for me…

SAGITTARIUS 22 NOV – 20 DEC MAKE YOUR OWN HAPPINESS A PRIORITY There’s hope for you on the horizon once your ruling planet, Jupiter, moves out of retrograde motion on the 24th.

REVIEWS Seeing the title of this novel and knowing that the Australian author spends half of every year living in a private reserve near the Kruger National Park, you’d be inclined to think lions are involved. That deduction would be wrong. Sonja Kurt is in her late forties and has spent her life in the military, was a mercenary and is now trying to lead a “normal” life. While on holiday with her daughter, Emma, in Betty’s Bay near Cape Town, they encounter abalone poachers. After Emma videos one of the poachers, he attacks her and steals her cellphone. It’s then that Sonja goes into full protective mother mode like a lioness springing to defend her cub. She teaches the young poacher a lesson, but when he’s found murdered, Sonja…

IT’S all there: the chiselled cheekbones, the awesome abs, the beautiful blue eyes, the sexy stubble. Little wonder that he bagged People's sexiest man alive title this year. But if Chris Evans (41) is to be believed, he’s just a normal guy who thinks his latest accolade is more trouble than its worth because it will just lead to him being teased. But obviously not everyone agrees – especially his mom, Lisa Capuano. “My reaction was, ‘Yeah, of course, it’s about time!’,” Lisa told Boston’s 7NEWS. “I was bragging when he was potty-trained, I was bragging when he was walking, but this is something that everyone will know about. I’m pretty happy about it.” Chris’ relationship with his mom is one of the reasons he’s won hearts the world over.…

THEY say if you love something set it free, and if it comes back it’s meant to be. That seems to be the case for actor BRADLEY COOPER (47) and his ex-girlfriend, IRINA SHAYK (36). The couple, who broke up in 2019 after four years together, were seen hugging affectionately, while taking a stroll with their dogs in New York. Since their breakup, the amicable exes have often been seen out and about with their five-year-old daughter Lea, but all the signs are pointing towards the relationship being more than just a happy co-parenting situation. The couple went on a tropical family holiday in September and last month the Russian model was photographed sitting on Bradley’s lap at a Halloween party. According to a source, the couple are eager to…

SHE was once a funky, vibrant young woman raising two young children on her own and living her life to the fullest. But the pictures she so bravely shared tell a tragic story: how she was cut down by cancer, robbed of an eye and despite a defiant battle, still riddled with tumours at the end. Yet Toni Crews was determined that she wasn’t going to let her terminal illness have the last say. She didn’t want her death to be in vain and she was adamant that her legacy would live on long after she was gone. And thanks to her decision, this is exactly what’s going to happen. The 30-year-old single mom from Kent in the UK died two years ago after fighting a long war with adenocarcinoma,…

FOR many of us, it’s part of everyday life. It kickstarts our day, perks up a post-lunch slump and rounds off a fancy dinner. We sip a cup over a get-together with friends, have a steaming mug by our side during meetings and take a flask on outings. But coffee is more than just a beverage for Phuti Mmotla – it’s his passion, his job and his reason for getting up in the morning. And now it’s putting him firmly on the map too. The 32-year-old was recently crowned Starbucks’ barista champion in Europe, the Middle East and Africa after slaying the competition during an all-things-coffee contest in Milan, Italy. “It was one of my proudest moments,” Phuti tells us when we catch up with him at Starbucks at the…

WHILE salary advance products are common in America, England and Europe, they’re fairly new to the South African market and are rapidly gaining popularity. The principle sounds great: employees get their salary earlier, avoiding the need to take out loans. But, of course, there are pros and cons. Do payday advances create their own debt trap, or are they a lifesaver when you need to get school books for your child and have run out of cash? This week we look at how it works, what the benefits are and what you should be wary of. WHAT IS A SALARY ADVANCE PRODUCT? Historically, a salary…

1 ON OUR RADAR 4 THINGS ABOUT WEDNESDAY 1 Wednesday is director Tim Burton’s first live-action TV series starring JENNA ORTEGA as Wednesday Addams and, as a bonus for fans of the ’90s Addams Family movies, Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday in those films. The cast of the eight-episode series also includes CATHERINE ZETA-JONES as Wednesday’s mom, Morticia; LUIS GUZMÁN as dad Gomez; ISAAC ORDONEZ as Pugsley, Wednesday’s brother; Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester; and Game of Thrones’ Gwendoline Christie as Larissa Weems, headmistress of Wednesday’s school. 2 The series starts with Wednesday being expelled from her public high school for an incident involving a group of bullies, a swimming pool and a bag of piranhas. She’s sent to Nevermore Academy, the mysterious magical boarding school where her parents first…

In 1649, with England under control of Oliver Cromwell, King Charles I was executed in front of baying mobs in London. His death warrant had been signed by 59 Cromwell loyalists, who became known as the regicides when the monarchy was restored in 1660. The race was on to hunt them down and prosecute them for treason. The penalty: an excruciating and public death. The novel follows the fortunes of two of the signatories, William Goffe, Cromwell’s cousin, and his son-in-law Edward Whalley, who flee to America. They seek refuge in the colonies, run by Puritans who are no friends of the monarchy back in the home country. Despite this, Goffe and Whalley have a hard time of it and their bond is pushed to the limit as the years…

THEY’VE become the language of the digital age, adopted by everyone from the royal family to your next-door neighbour. Ten billion are sent every day and many of us would rather use them to convey how we feel than have an actual face-to-face conversation. But before you include your favourite symbols next time you’re texting, get this: things are changing. And those little images you thought meant one thing might be perceived very differently by the younger generation. The language of emojis is ever-evolving and with around 3 600 to choose from, misunderstandings are starting to occur. Take the thumbs-up emoji, for instance. For decades it’s been a symbol of assent – now it’s causing offence among members of Generation Z who consider it to be rude and passive aggressive.…

IT’S the greatest sporting spectacle on Earth and playing in it is the ultimate achievement. The thrill of the fight, the agony of loss, the ecstasy of success, knowing the world is watching as you put your body on the line – it’s career-crowning stuff. And as the 2022 Fifa World Cup gets under way in Qatar, hundreds of millions are tuning in to watch men at the peak of their powers work their magic on the pitch. But for some, this will be their last hurrah. The time comes for every man, even those who helped shape the game. New heroes are waiting to fill their shoes – although in this case those shoes are boots that have given us some of the biggest moments in the history of…

TWILIGHT star TAYLOR LAUTNER (30) and his girlfriend of four years, TAYLOR DOME (24), have tied the knot exactly a year after the actor proposed. The nuptials took place at sunset on a picturesque winery in California with about 100 guests. The beautiful bride wore a flowy, white gown with a lace overlay and a matching veil, while Taylor looked dapper in a tuxedo. Their love story started in 2018 when the actor’s sister, Makena Moore, introduced him to the nurse. Makena could immediately tell there was a spark between the two Taylors and that they were a match made in heaven. “You two couldn’t be more perfect for each other. The way that you guys (complement) each other genuinely blows me away. I can’t believe that I gain a…

HITS MISSES…

WHEN they got together, no one thought it would last – he was a 60-year-old politician in the middle of a messy divorce; she was a 22-year-old model trying to get her career off the ground. The 38-year age gap between them was so big some people presumed she was his daughter. But Tokyo Sexwale has proven that age is irrelevant and love will conquer all. After dating for nine years, the 69-year-old billionaire wed his 31-year-old partner, Natacha da Silva, in an extravagant ceremony at the picturesque Inimitable Wedding Venue in Muldersdrift, Gauteng. The wealthy businessman, who’s estimated to be worth more than R3 billion, wore a black designer suit with a white silk scarf draped around his neck, while his young bride looked stunning in a white, modern…

FOR many they’re simply disgusting, something to be rid of as soon as humanly possible. But for Cedric Laquieze they’re a source of inspiration and material for his craft. The Amsterdam-based artist takes the dead bodies of beetles, butterflies and other insects and gives them new life by transforming them into fairy sculptures. He can sometimes combine the body parts of up to 10 insects when designing one of his creations, and for him the beauty of it all is that no two sculptures are ever the same. “The aspect of the fairies that I like the most is that over the span of almost 20 years, I’ve never made the same piece twice,” Cedric says. “The shapes, colours and designs are extremely diverse – from dark and intimidating to…

OBVIOUSLY Teacher: “Where were you born?” Kid: “The United States.” Teacher: “Which part?” Kid: “My whole body.” ON THE SAME PAGE After a politician makes a public speech, he’s approached by a woman. “If you were my husband I would poison your tea,” she says to him. The politician replies, “If you were my wife I’d gladly drink it.” LOST IN TRANSLATION A husband and wife drive through Louisiana and as they approach Natchitoches, they start arguing about the pronunciation. They stop for lunch and the husband asks the waitress, “Could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are very slowly?” She leans over the counter and says, “Burrr-gerrr Kiiing.” FORGET ME NOT An elderly couple notice they’re getting forgetful, so they decide to…

WHEN she was growing up, her father took her to the local library and told her she could read any book in the building – so long as she promised to talk to him about it if she stumbled across something she didn’t understand. “I think this is the greatest gift my father ever gave me,” says crime writer Karin Slaughter. “Though he wasn’t a reader himself, he understood that reading isn’t just an escape. It’s access to a better way of life.” And this proved to be the case for Karin, whose addictive thrillers have sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. The US author, who lives in Atlanta, Georgia, has written more than 20 bestselling novels, including her popular Will Trent series and standalone novel Pieces of Her,…

THE springbok is South Africa’s national animal, and our national rugby team is also called the Springboks. These antelope are most abundant in the central and western parts of South Africa and also in Namibia. Springboks are known for their pronking (less commonly called stotting, when they jump into the air). HABITAT & DISTRIBUTION ● They live in arid conditions on sparsely vegetated grassy plains, in semi-deserts and the Karoo. ● Springboks are native to the western and southwestern parts of SA and the arid parts of Namibia, Botswana and Angola. ● In SA, they’re most abundant in the Free State Highveld, and in the thorny scrub areas of the Karoo and Kalahari of the Western and Northern Cape. ● The largest populations occur on farms, game farms and conservation…

Earlier this month, Rebel announced the birth of her daughter, ROYCE LILLIAN, via a surrogate. In 2020, after visiting a fertility doctor, she embarked on a “year of health” to have a better chance of harvesting her eggs. “I am forever grateful to everyone who has been involved, (you know who you are), this has been years in the making . . . but particularly wanted to thank my gorgeous surrogate who carried her and birthed her with such grace and care,” she posted on Instagram. 2 EMINEM BECOMES ROCK & ROLL ROYALTY We first got to know him as the gimmicky rapper…
