SUNDAY nights were very much Carte Blanche nights in our household when I was growing up. Like many families around South Africa we’d watch Derek Watts and Ruda Landman in action, wondering what bad guys would fall under their investigative gaze. Derek was a constant on the show over the years and many fans felt like they knew him even if they hadn’t met. And from what his family and friends say in our moving story on page 10, he was very much the lovely, funny, warm-hearted guy you thought he was. He never seemed to take himself too seriously but knew when he had to be serious. In the end he was rather serious, of course. He’d made peace with death in his final weeks and he prepared his…

‘I UNDERSTAND THE SPORT AS A SYMPHONY – I LIKE SHARING MY LOVE OF RUGBY WITH OTHERS’ SHE was at school when she watched her first rugby match and one thought ran through her head: this is a weird game. “It looked like they were fighting,” she recalls with a chuckle. But Motshidisi Mohono’s opinion of the game has come a long way since then. These days she’s known as South Africa’s first lady of rugby and confidently holds her own in the SuperSport studios with the likes of Bok legends Victor Matfield and Jean de Villiers. At big games she can found in the stadium, analysing the game for viewers and speaking to players and coaches. Rugby isn’t only her favourite sport now, it’s her bread and butter and…

IN THE GARDEN An eye-catching garden is often made up of small, lush nooks such as this lovely one. A simple chair topped with glass containers makes for a sweet little focal area. VAMPED-UP VASES Use a collection of glass bottles of various sizes and shapes to create a striking focal point. Insert fresh or dried flowers and use the necks to hold dinner candles. DECOUPAGE IT! Decoupage is the transfer of paper images onto a surface such as glass, wood or cans. Here, glass bottles receive a makeover using a pretty floral print. Use a good, clear glue such as modge podge (available at most hardware or craft stores) to secure your print to the object. BEAUTIFUL STORAGE There’s just something about glass jars displayed together – they’re beautiful…

YOUR MONEY SORTED Send suggestions for topics and requests for info to yourmoney@you.co.za. We may answer your questions in this column but won’t reply personally. DIGITAL wallets – the “wallet” on your smartphone – are a convenient way to transact because you don’t need to have your physical bank card with you. All you need is your phone. But criminals are resourceful, and not even digital wallets are safe. South Africans have incurred losses amounting to millions from the cards in their digital wallets and most of the fraudulent transactions were actioned from overseas countries including Spain, France and Dubai, even though the legitimate cardholders were in SA. 1 How does it differ from other types of electronic fraud? Thieves use stolen card information (the card number, expiration date and…

ON OUR RADAR 1 DAKOTA FANNING THE EQUALIZER 3 Now in cinemas When DAKOTA FANNING first worked with DENZEL WASHINGTON in the thriller Man on Fire, she was just nine years old. Almost two decades later, reuniting with the Oscar-winning actor in The Equalizer 3 was, she says, a joy. When Equalizer director Antoine Fuqua offered Dakota (29) the role of CIA agent Emma Collins in the final instalment of the series, it was simply too good to turn down, she says. “I worked with Denzel on Man on Fire [2004] and his kids are really good friends of mine. I went to high school with one of his daughters and she is one of my best friends. “I feel a deep connection to the whole family and to…

The star, who was hospitalised in June with a bacterial infection which forced her to postpone her Celebration world tour, shared a triumphant video where she gushed that it’s “great to be alive”. “Amazing to be able to put on…

VIRGO 23 AUG – 22 SEPT IT’S TIME TO SEEK HARMONY Hopefully, the harmony in the sky will translate to harmony in your life, especially around the eighth when Jupiter and the sun align with each other. If you’re the sort of Virgo who tends to be a little critical and pessimistic, this might present you with a good dose of optimism and goodwill. Hopefully this will rub off on those closest to you; increase your faith in mankind, whether or not you are a religious person by nature. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 8, 13, 34, 34, 16, 10 LIBRA 23 SEP – 22 OCT This appears to be a relatively quiet week for you, one in which you can find the necessary time to recuperate and rest. If you actively…

JAN BRAAI JUNIOR By JAN BRAAI PENGUIN BOOKS For years he’s devoted himself to teaching South Africans about the joy of cooking over hot coals but now Jan Braai says it’s time for the grown-ups to hand over the tongs to the younger generation. That’s why in the run-up to National Braai Day on 24 September he’s released this new cookbook aimed specifically at children between the ages of six and nine. The recipes are simple but if kids can master them, he says, they will be great braaiers for the rest of their lives. From boerewors rolls with homemade monkey gland sauce and sticky chicken wings to rump steak sosaties, mushroom burgers, braaibroodjies and yummy pizza, it’s all here. And of course there are also desserts, including banana and…

RUSSIA’S race to the moon was dealt a devastating blow when its spacecraft, Luna-25, recently collided with the lunar surface. According to Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, the rover began spinning out of control two days before it was supposed to land on the moon. Luna-25, a robotic-powered rig with no crew, later crashed into the satellite. Before impact, however, the rover managed to gather scientific information in orbit around the moon. It also took pictures of the moon. WHAT WAS THE AIM OF THE MISSION? The Luna-25 spacecraft – meant to be Russia’s first lunar landing mission in 47 years – was heading for the moon’s South Pole region because scientists think that frozen water can be found there. They hope that future explorers could transform the water frozen in…

Leonor (17) arrived at the academy accompanied by her parents, King Felipe and Queen Letizia, and her sister, Sofía (16). “The first days are going to be hard, but she will pass them with effort and patience,” the king said. Leonor, who graduated from a private school in Wales, will spend a year at the military camp, then she’ll go to naval school for training and finish her studies…

WITH his bulging biceps, thick ropes of veins and abs of steel he looks like a superhero ripped straight from the pages of a comic book.

MY PAST IS CATCHING UP WITH ME Q When I was in my late teens and early twenties I was delinquent and I got into trouble with the police several times. I spent some years in prison but realised that I had to get my life in order. When I got out I started a business that grew to be very successful. I married and had children and now my one son has almost taken over my business but I still have to work with him. The problem is my criminal record. We have a lot of opportunities to tender for government and other organisations for work but as soon as they do a background check and realise I have a criminal history, we lose the tender. I am obviously…

JOB INTERVIEWS ■ I was at a job interview today when the manager handed me a laptop and said, “I want you to try to sell this to me.” So I put it under my arm, left the building and went home. Eventually he called me and said, “Bring my laptop back now!” I said, “R2 000 and it’s yours.” ■ I went for a job interview and the interviewer said they’re looking for somebody who is responsible. I said, “I’m your guy!” They asked why. “Well, at my old job if something went wrong, something went missing or somebody got hurt, they always said I was responsible.” ■ The interviewer asked me what I’d been doing for the past three years. “Yale,” I replied. He thought this was wonderful…

THE moment Cristiano Ronaldo signed his eye-watering deal with Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr, experts predicted there’d be a ripple effect around the football world. And they were right. Clubs in the Saudi Professional League (SPL) have been on a shopping spree in the months since the Portuguese superstar made the Middle East his home, snapping up one big name after the other. In June, reigning Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema joined Al Ittihad on a three-year deal worth a reported $100 million (R1,9 billion) and others soon followed suit. Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino, Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kanté and Portugal midfielder Rúben Neves have all signed with Saudi clubs. Most recently Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar signed a two-year deal with Al Hilal in a move reportedly worth £86m (R2bn). Bayern…

She also shared her fitness secrets in a new collaboration with a fitness brand and how she learned to listen to her body after pushing it too hard…
