I WONDER if it was a strategic move to let us know loadshed-ding is back just as we were in the throes of celebrating the Springbok win. It’s somewhat less depressing when you’re still feeling the joy – but we all know we now have to get back to planning and prep mode. I’m super happy that our new food magazine is out and ready to help make your life easier. No Heat, Let’s Eat is packed with loadshed-ding-friendly recipes to make mealtimes more manageable, especially during the dreaded morning and evening slots. For me, the best part of this magazine is that all the meals in it can be eaten cold or at room temperature. So even if you prepare it ahead of time, you don’t need to find…

HIS book starts like this: “Hi, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty. And I should be dead.” He had every reason to say that. Matthew Perry abused his body with so many drugs his colon exploded and he needed 12 surgeries to save his life. But he was determined to beat the demons that would leave him alternatively emaciated and bloated, rob him of his front teeth and all but bring his career to a halt. Friends say he was doing well and seemed clean in recent months, although there are also signs he might have fallen off the wagon again. Either way Matthew is now dead, found by his assistant in the hot tub of his Los Angeles…

GAS STOVES A gas stove with two plates comes in handy for cooking but if you live alone, a one-plate stove will do just fine. CANISTERS AND CYLINDERS And don’t forget to stock up on gas. NON-ELECTRIC SLOW COOKER This genius creation was invented by South African Sarah Collins in 2008. The Wonderbag is a non-electric slow cooker that helps you finish your cooking without the need for a power source. To use the Wonderbag, first add all your ingredients to a pot on the stove and bring it to a full boil before loadshedding hits. Once the food has reached a boil, remove the pot from the stove and place it in the Wonderbag. This will allow your dish to complete cooking while the power is off. BATTERY-POWERED…

I’VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH A COLLEAGUE BUT I’M MARRIED AND HAVE A CHILD Q Six months ago, a woman joined my department. She’s single and everything I always wanted in a woman. She isn’t only beautiful and sexy but also caring and loving. She has brains and I can have a conversation about anything with her. We were attracted to each other from the moment we met. I’m 35 years old and I got married three years ago when I thought that I wouldn’t find my perfect woman. We now have a two-year-old baby. My colleague and I tried to just be friends but it didn’t work out and we’re now having an affair. I can’t face life without her. It’s also difficult for me to keep on pretending…

COLOUR COORDINATED An admiral is staring off the deck of his battleship at the approaching enemy on the horizon. “Fetch my red shirt,” the admiral says to his first officer. “If I’m wounded in battle, I don’t want the men to see I’m bleeding. It will kill the morale.” “But Sir,” the first officer says, “there’s a fleet of fifteen ships coming right for us.” “Oh,” the admiral sighs. “Well, in that case go grab my brown pants.” WHAT’S IN A NAME? Three men are talking about the nicknames they’ve given their wives. The first guy says: “I call my wife Sugar because she’s so sweet.” The second guy says: “I call my wife Flower because she’s so pretty.” The third guy says: “I call my wife Boomerang because no…

HER hospital room is a riot of colour – a cluster of bright balloons flutters above her bed and there are bouquets of flowers everywhere. Even her hands are awash with colour, her nails painted green, yellow and purple with polka dots. “A friend treated me to it as a birthday present,” Elsje Neethling says. “I turned 43 recently.” Elsje, a journalist who’s also the sister of swimming champion Ryk Neethling, knows the importance of celebrating these special occasions more than most people. From a young age cancer has cast a shadow over her life. She was only 12 when she was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour and told she might only have a month or two to live. But Elsje defied the odds. After three brain surgeries and…

SHE once said, “I don’t really think, I just walk”. It’s vintage Paris Hilton, the original pink princess of puff and master of the ditsy one-liner. She’s the woman who once asked of Walmart, the American superstore that stocks practically everything under its cavernous ceiling, if it “sells wall stuff ”. Who told the world to “never pass a mirror without looking in it”. And if you don’t know what to think when you see your reflection, “just be like, that’s hot”. She’s free with advice too. “Always walk around like you have on an invisible tiara.” “Life is too short to blend in.” “Live every day like it’s your birthday.” And, “A true heiress is never mean to anyone – except a girl who steals your boyfriend.” All this…

DWAYNE “THE ROCK” JOHNSON, LIL WAYNE and TRAVIS BARKER recently had their wax figures revealed – but they were met with mixed reactions as some missed the mark while others were almost life-like. We take a look. FAILED IT DWAYNE The Grévin Museum in Paris, France, thought they were on track in creating a figurine in the actor’s likeness, but they got one very important detail wrong – the colour of his skin. “I’m going to have my team reach out to our friends at the Grévin Museum so we can work on updating my wax figure with some important details and improvements, starting with my skin colour,” he said on Instagram. The wax figure’s skin tone has since been adjusted but the movie superstar is yet to comment on…

IT’S not your fault. It’s not your fault. Her mom has been repeating these words like a mantra but Jenney Griessel can’t shake her feelings of guilt. She’s haunted by the faces of her dad, Johann Griessel, and her fiancé, Colin Schreuder, as they fought in vain for their lives in their final act of love for her. The men had tried to rescue Jenney when she was caught in a rip current at Umzumbe Beach on the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal on 3 October. Now the family is shell-shocked, their lives hollowed out by their devastating loss. Jenney (26) and Colin (34) were enjoying an early summer holiday with her parents, Johann and Charissa, their son, Ajay (4), and Colin’s kids, Grant (9) and Lannika (8). It was the…

LAST-gasp penalties, heart-stopping finishes, heartbreaking injuries and a couple of controversies. There was no shortage of drama on the fields of France in the Springboks’ run-up to the final of the Rugby World Cup – and South Africans lived every moment, flinching when there was pain, roaring when there was victory, chewing our nails when things went down to the wire. Here’s a look at went down on in a tournament that thrilled the nation.

Eleven-year-old Nathan Swart of Gqeberha was so overwhelmed he burst into tears and received a hug…

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. You’ve probably heard about investing in retail bonds to diversify your savings. In South Africa we have RSA Retail Savings Bonds, which are government bonds available to all South Africans. They work like a fixed investment and give market-related returns. Here’s what they’re all about. 1 WHAT IS A GOVERNMENT BOND? Bonds are used by governments globally to raise money for large projects. Investors (that’s you) buy the bond for a specific amount, such as R1 000, and it’s paid back with interest after a fixed period, for example, two or three years. The date when the fixed period ends is called the bond’s maturity…

1 ON OUR RADAR 6 THINGS ABOUT TYLA The Joburg-born singer is making waves with her global hit track, Water 1 Water by Tyla (21), blends pop, ama-piano and R&B and the track surged to viral status on Tik-Tok after the singer posted videos of herself dancing to the song. Last month the hashtags #TylaWater and #TylaWaterChallenge had a combined 448 million views on the platform. 2 The Water dance challenge on Tik-Tok was created by Tyla’s choreographer, Litchi. “Usually, this dance style is not paired with this type of music, but I felt it would fit so well,” Tyla told Time magazine. “We ended up trying this, and it looked so good that we started performing it with water.” 3 In 2021 she was signed to Epic Records in…

‘Congratulations, Pooh! Can’t wait for the little mermaidto come,’ – A FAN ON INSTAGRAM IS HALLE BAILEY PREGGERS? THERE’S no such thing as keeping a pregnancy a secret when you’re living in the public eye. Actress HALLE BAILEY has fuelled rumours that she’s expecting her first child after she was pictured walking about the streets of Santa Monica in oversized clothing. The 23-year-old Little Mermaid star was seen wearing baggy sweatpants and an oversized hoodie while her rapper boyfriend, DDG, put his arm around her protectively. Her fans have since flooded her social media posts to let her know that the cat’s out of the bag. “Congratulations, Pooh! Can’t wait for the little mermaid to come,” someone said on Instagram. “Babe, we know so just announce it already,” said another.…

DUTCH ROYALTY IN SA King and Queen aim to bolster ties SOUTH Africa recently rolled out the red carpet for QUEEN MÁXIMA and KING WILLEM-ALEXANDER of the Netherlands, who were on a three-day state visit to strengthen ties between the two countries. The royals made good use of their time, visiting Gauteng and the Western Cape. They met with PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA at the Union Buildings where the king greeted the president in four of the 12 official languages. He also shared a joke about the late Nelson Mandela. “I carry with me many special memories of South Africa, including of course the inauguration of President Mandela almost 30 years ago. He celebrated our wedding in 2002 – the only guest who invited himself!” Marlies Galloway (42) who’s originally from…

AS A beauty writer, I’m always being asked about my beauty routine – from my ultimate signature scent to the serums I swear by – but one question in particular comes up time and again: how do you get glowing, dewy-looking skin? While my reply always includes drinking lots of water, getting eight hours of sleep and exercising regularly, there are of course a number of glow-boosting products I rely on to help me create that lit-from-within complexion. Here are 10 of my favourite glow-getters! GINZING GLOW-BOOSTING MASK R35 FOR 75ML, ORIGINS There’s nothing I love more than taking time out and applying a face mask, especially one that contains a host of skin-loving and radiance-boosting ingredients like this one from Origins. Featuring ginseng, caffeine and vitamin C, this lightweight…

SCORPIO 23 OCT – 21 NOV GET RID OF THAT EXCESS ENERGY You’re currently full of energy and drive, but with that comes some irritation and irritability. Even though you know exactly what you’re focused on, this isn’t how it may come across to others. The lesson is to see yourself through the eyes of others. Any additional physical activity will get rid of the surplus energy but be aware of your own boundaries. If you’re considering a big money outlay, think twice of the possible ramifications and consequences. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 6, 14, 44, 45, 36, 11 SAGITTARIUS 22 NOV – 20 DEC You might be itching to make changes at work, but this would be impulsive. Be mindful that you don’t accidentally say something that could jeopardise your…

WORTHY By JADA PINKETT SMITH FOURTH ESTATE It’s easy to roll your eyes at Jada Pinkett Smith’s memoir. Firstly there’s the title, Worthy – which gives an indication of just how seriously she takes herself. Jada has admitted she initially wanted it to be called something else but her editor pushed for the title, apparently because the actress uses the word “worthy” a lot. She kicks off her book about her “journey to self-worth” by recounting how as her marriage to Will Smith unravelled, leaving her at her lowest ebb, the universe “opened doors” for her, giving her the chance to partake in psychedelics and embark on a path of enlightenment and healing. Good for her that she was able to find comfort, though many readers might feel irritated that…

SINCE time immemorial parents have been telling their kids not to stick things in their eyes or nose – it’s playing with fire, asking for trouble, inviting a world of pain. But Andrew Stanton isn’t the kind of guy to heed a warning. He laughs in the face of danger, and to say his accomplishments are an eyesore is something of an understatement. The former massage therapist has been using his wince-worthy skills to make a living and break records for years. Back in 2012 he made it into the Guinness World Records for the longest metal coil passed through the nose and out of the mouth. And Andrew has just added another record to his bizarre repertoire – this time for pulling the heaviest weight with an eye socket.…

1 KRIS JENNER’S BIG REGRET KRIS JENNER(67) has revealed that her life’s biggest regret was being unfaithful to her first husband, ROBERT KARDASHIAN. Robert is the father of Kourtney, Kim, Khloé and Robert Jnr. Kris says she cheated on Robert, who died of cancer in 2003, with soccer player-turned-animator Todd Waterman in 1989, calling it a “big mistake”. She put her actions down to being young and dumb. “You don’t really understand the consequences of your actions. I thought that the grass was greener somewhere else,” she said. 2 WEDDING BELLS FOR FRANCES After two years together FRANCES BEAN(31), Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love’s daughter, has tied the knot with legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk’s son, RILEY (30). The couple skipped an extravagant celebration, opting instead to wed in court. The…
