COOKING WITH YOU In the past I used to wait alone in the living room while my wife prepared dinner for the family. Whenever I joined her in the kitchen, she’d complain that I was distracting her because I’d chat to her without helping with the cooking. But all that was before I started reading YOU’s recipe pages and developed an interest in experimenting in the kitchen. When I started to enjoy the pleasure of assisting her to prepare meals for the family, she demanded to know who had taught me how to cook such delicious food! After revealing the secret of where I’d learnt to cook up a storm, my wife was so happy that she encouraged me to start trying YOU magazine recipes with her. Today my wife…

MUCH has been said about how close he is to his daughters, how they’ll stand by him no matter what, how they’ve been his pillars throughout all the drama and disaster. There’s also been talk about how Prince Andrew is keen for his girls to enter the ranks of working royals and help bolster a family reeling from the cancer diagnoses of two of its biggest stars. But those in the know say that’s unlikely to happen – not because Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie would be bad at the job. By all accounts the sisters are well liked and respected within The Firm and everyone has a lot of time for them. But there’s one big thing standing in their way, if indeed they did ever want a more public…

THE EXPERIENCE I HAD WITH MY BOYFRIEND’S FAMILY HAS LEFT ME ANGRY WITH MY OWN Q During a recent long weekend, I went to meet my boyfriend’s family who live on a farm. He had told me that his family were warm-hearted and kind and I was very excited to go meet them. I come from an emotionally cold and heartless home, so I wanted to see how the other half lives. I was overwhelmed by their generosity and how they welcomed a stranger into their home. They went out of their way to make me feel like part of the family. Being with such warm and emotionally open people was heaven on earth. The problem is that…

FROM our mountains and valleys to our rivers and coastlines, these images captured by some of South Africa’s finest professional and amateur photographers showcase the astounding beauty of our continent’s wildlife and landscapes. The 2023 SA Photographer of the Year contest, open to photographers of all ages, recently announced its winners. We look through the lenses of some of those who took top honours. SHARK PORTAL, TRANSKEI COAST Linda Ness Amid warm and unusually clear waters a vast shoal of sardines found itself cornered behind a headland, creating a dense mass of life stretching from the ocean’s surface down to the sandy depths. The sight of a large dusky shark weaving through a “blue hole” in the shoal leaves behind a trail resembling azure smoke. CHAMELEON AT NIGHT IN THE…

SHE had a picture-perfect life: a gorgeous home in Camps Bay, Cape Town, a successful cosmetics business and a profile as a well-known TV personality. So when former Miss South Africa Cindy Nell-Roberts announced she and her family were moving to Melbourne, Australia, people were stunned. Why would she give up the good life? But Cindy has a simple answer: it all boils down to a need for growth, she says. “One day I had a conversation with the Lord and asked, ‘What’s next for me? Am I supposed to do what I’m doing now forever?’ I got this overwhelming message saying, ‘I have bigger plans for you. When the opportunity comes you will know’. “I almost don’t want to tell people this because it sounds so bizarre, but very…

ALMOST freakishly mature for his age. Absurdly gifted. A player who uses his mind and heart when he steps onto the field. Praise like this has been lauded over one of the brightest newbies in football this season – and he’s just a teenager. If Kobbie Mainoo carries on playing the way he is, experts say he could be one of the greatest finds in a game studded with superstars. The rise of the Manchester United wonderboy has been nothing short of supersonic. He progressed from the Red Devils’ under-16 side and joined the under-18 squad in 2021 before being drafted into the main team a year later. He became the youngest player to start in the centre of midfield when he made his Premier League debut last year against…

IT’S been nearly eight years since BRAD PITT and ANGELINA JOLIE started their divorce proceedings and the jabs are still flying between them. In the latest developments Angelina (48) has filed court documents claiming Brad (60) was physically abusive long before the alleged assault incident on a private jet in 2016. It is claimed that during the incident an intoxicated Brad first attacked Angie. Then when their children tried to intervene, he grabbed and slapped one of them. “While Pitt’s history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family’s September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well. Jolie then immediately left him,” say court documents filed by the actress’ lawyers. The…

JENNIFER Lopez’s $20 million (R377m) self-funded comeback has not gone as well as she had hoped. Her new album and upcoming tour, both titled This Is Me . . . Now, are odes to her relationship with Ben Affleck (51) and her career of over 40 years. But it seems fans aren’t as enamoured with their love story as she had banked on. JLo (54) has had to rename her tour This Is Me . . . Live | The Greatest Hits after having to cancel concert dates due to poor ticket sales. Insiders say she’s hoping that including some of her older songs in the show’s lineup will draw more fans who haven’t been connecting to her new content. “Jennifer’s always been a marketing and PR genius, but her…

HE STANDS at the top of his driveway looking like something from a men’s fashion magazine: designer stubble, red Adidas X Gucci tracksuit and sneakers, Rolex on his wrist – and don’t even think of asking if it’s the real deal. Peet Viljoen doesn’t do fake. “If you can’t afford a Rolex, don’t wear a watch,” he says. For him it’s all about the shine and the house he lives in with his wife, Mel. It’s behind high walls in the exclusive Woodhill Estate in the east of Pretoria, a glamorous mansion with glass and marble and the finest furnishings and fittings. Each night they lay their heads on top-quality pillow slips and sleep with a clear conscience. Nothing keeps them awake – especially not the accusations being levelled at…

THE thrill of getting a Q on a triple-word score. The joy of putting down all seven letters and getting a 50-point bonus. The agony of having a tray full of vowels. The oh-yeah of going out first and receiving the value of your opponent’s leftover letters to add to your score. Anyone who’s ever gotten hooked on this pastime will know all about it. Scrabble is the game of words that’s been a hit for more than 75 years – a staple in many a family, a boredom buster bar none, a fab way to while away the hours on holidays or rainy days. And now the beloved board game is getting a makeover – and while die-hards may be horrified, Mattel, which distributes the game, is hoping it…

ISN’T IT OBVIOUS? I was arrested for illegal fishing even though there was no “fishing prohibited” sign. Apparently it’s very clear that you’re not allowed to do that in a hotel lobby with an aquarium. DOCTOR’S DIAGNOSIS I went to the doctor with suspected tennis elbow. After examining me she confirms it is indeed tennis elbow. “How many years have you been suffering with this?” she asks. I reply: “About 15, Love . . . ” ILLEGAL JARGON If a parent is trying to put his child to sleep and the child is refusing, wouldn’t it be illegal because technically the child is resisting a rest? But then, if you think about it, it’s a lose-lose situation. It’s illegal either way because if the child willingly goes to sleep it…

Marnie and Michael are in their late thirties and both dealing with devastating marriage collapses. The last place they want to be is on a walking holiday but a mutual friend coerces them into it. Both are convinced they’re better off single. Will their 10-day hike change…

HE SITS snugly on his mom’s lap, eyes glued to the coffee cup in front of her. With a loving smile Michanka van Zyl scoops some milk froth with a teaspoon and feeds it to her son who eagerly slurps it up. Even though he’s a year old, Elijah can’t lift a spoon to his mouth by himself. In fact, his mother explains, he can’t move anything towards his mouth so she’s taught him to lean forward and eat his food straight from the bowl. It’s the only option for the little boy, who isn’t able to do things other kids his age take for granted. But while Elijah’s body limits him in so many ways, there’s clearly nothing wrong with his mind. His curious eyes dart this way and…

AS IS often the case, no one really saw it coming. Just two months ago Isla Fisher appeared on the Kelly Clarkson talk show and appeared smitten with Sacha Baron Cohen, her comedian-actor husband of 14 years. It was nearly Valentine’s Day and Isla, the 48-year-old star of movies such as Wedding Crashers and Confessions of a Shopaholic, shared how they celebrate the day of love. “Every year Sacha gives me a card that says ‘Happy Valentine’s from . . .’ and then a massive question mark – as if I have any other Valentines!” Her response caused Kelly to swoon. “Aw, you guys seem like such a fun couple.” But it seems the flame-haired Aussie wasn’t quite telling the truth. The Hollywood couple recently dropped the bombshell news that…

1 RIHANNA REAL HOUSEWIVES FAN Turns out RIHANNA (36) is just as invested in the love lives of our favourite Beverly Hills Housewives stars as the rest of us. Speaking about RHOBH cast member KYLE RICHARDS’ (55) rumoured relationship with country singer MORGAN WADE (29), RiRi commented, “For once, someone else made her feel valued, made her feel like she was cute and quirky and fun and all the great things that maybe were taken for granted before.” Kyle and her husband, Mauricio Umansky, separated last year. 2 JONATHAN GETS OFF LIGHTLY Marvel star JONATHAN MAJORS has avoided jail time for physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. Jonathan (34), who was found guilty earlier this year of assaulting and harassing Grace (30) in 2023, was sentenced to 52 weeks of…

HARRY Potter author JK Rowling has taken a swipe at two of the movies’ stars, Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, over their support of transgender rights. She called them complicit in “traumatising detransitioners”. JK has long been vocal about not agreeing with gender reassignment and was responding to the release of the long-awaited Cass Report. The report found that research into the long-term effects of puberty blockers is insufficient. The report was commissioned by the NHS, the national healthcare system in the UK, to look into the rapid rise of gender identity services among children between the ages of 10 and 15. After she posted about the results, one of her followers on X asked if it was safe to assume she expected an apology from Daniel (34) and Emma…

SINGER and GoodHope FM broadcaster Chad Saaiman and Savanah Smith, a doctor, tied the knot on 6 April in Cape Town. They got engaged in January last year after dating for five years.

A BLACK-TIE affair with South African flavour was the order of the night as A-listers graced the red carpet in Johannesburg for the funniest awards ceremony on the social calendar. MARC LOTTERING The Cape Town comedian was honoured with the Hall of Fame award celebrating his contributions to the industry. How does it feel to receive this award?

This gives me bragging rights, but it doesn’t change who I am. I’m still going to strive to be excellent at my craft. Comedy is my calling and it’s about making South Africans feel good.
