HE HAS long had a bond with Africa – it’s where he found comfort as a teenager after the passing of his mother, the place where he popped the question to the love of his life, the place he and Harry once joined forces to make a difference in the lives of others. “It has always held a special place in my heart,” Prince William says. “It’s a place where I can be myself.” In fact, it was during a trip to Namibia in 2018 that William got the idea for the Earthshot Prize, the acclaimed global initiative he launched in 2020 that aims to find innovative solutions to help to fix the planet. And in a full-circle moment the Prince of Wales returned to the continent he loves for…

THE robbery was like a punch to the gut, the latest misfortune to plague the budding agricultural entrepreneur. The farm from which Hidaaya Tayyib’s business had operated since 2013, producing high-performance organic fertiliser, had been attacked by robbers who tied up the workers living there, looted expensive equipment and stole his beloved husky, Frost. Hidaaya (36) was gutted. He’d cared for Frost since 2022 when a stranger tied the puppy to the gate of his and his parents’ home in Surrey Estate, Cape Town, and told his mom, Fatima, “I’m not a bad person but I can’t do this”. They took Frost to a vet for a checkup, had him microchipped and welcomed him into their home. But there was a problem. The family’s four other dogs – three German…

HIT Jessica Alba ABBY-GENE Jessica loves a good jeans-and-sneakers combo and after making it look this good, it’s grown on me too. DENNIS The actress revisits her Noughties starlet days, casually accessorised with a Chanel bag to remind us she’s a hotshot businesswoman too.

LIKE many young girls she dreamt of wearing a crown – a very specific crown, one that would make her famous around the country and help her to make a difference to people’s lives. And when Natasha Joubert’s childhood dream came true, it was everything she hoped it would be. But a year is a short time and the months she held the Miss South Africa title flew by. Before she knew it she was placing the precious crown on the gleaming locks of her successor, Mia Le Roux – and Natasha admits she’s still getting used to the title of “former Miss SA”. However, she’s embracing the advice many other “formers” have shared with her: “real life only begins after the title”. For Natasha (27), real life is happening…

MY HUSBAND WANTS TO LEAVE ME SINCE I BECAME PARAPLEGIC Q Six months ago I was involved in a serious car accident and suffered a brain injury as a result. I’m now a paraplegic, paralysed from the waist down. My husband, who was driving and who was at fault, has now told me he doesn’t want to live with a paraplegic anymore. I asked him what’s happened to his marital vow that we’d stay together “in sickness and in health” and he replied that he’d never considered the real import of those words. On the one hand a part of me understands his feelings as he’s an outdoorsy person who enjoys sport and he’s still young and athletic so I can’t stand in the way of his finding a new…

BABIES. There’s nothing quite like them – the snuggles, the snuffles, the cuddles, the cuteness. Each little one is special in their own way and each one is the centre of their own loving household. Even if they can be a little prickly . . . Just ask Frans Krans and his wife, Cecillia Williams. Their nine-month-old, Baby, is the apple of their eye and rules the roost, or rather, the den – and he’s been doing so since day one. The couple, who live on a farm in the Boshof district in the west of the Free State, have been raising Baby since his near-death experience as a newborn in February. They also pander to their precious porcupine’s every whim. Baby wants a hug? Baby wants to be carried…

TO HIS fans he’ll always be Dawson Leery, the wide-eyed teen filmmaker desperately in love with his best friend Joey. But young Dawson is now 47-year-old James Van Der Beek , a man as vulnerable to the vagaries of fate as the rest of us. And a very real, very adult disease has come calling for him. James announced he has stage 3 colorectal cancer to his 1,5 million Instagram followers recently, shining the spotlight on a disease that develops in the tissue of the colon or rectum and makes its way up to the large intestine. “Each year approximately 2 billion people around the world receive this diagnosis,” he said. “And I’m one of them. “I’m in a good place and feeling strong. It’s been quite the initiation and…

1 LEO TURNS 50 He famously only dates women 25 years old or younger so that means LEONARDO DICAPRIO is now literally double their age. The actor recently celebrated his 50th birthday in style at his LA home and even though he’s often spotted in the company of much younger women, the guest list was age-appropriate. It included celebs like Brad Pitt, Mark Ruffalo, Katy Perry, Paris Hilton and Edward Norton. 2 HALLE GETS HOT UNDER THE COLLAR The Little Mermaid star was furious when ex-boyfriend DDG (27) featured their nine-month-old son, Halo, on his YouTube livestream. “I wasn’t told or notified and I am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people,” HALLE BAILEY (24) wrote on X. However, when fans pointed out that she…

BOTSWANA’S NEW LEADER President Duma Boko was sworn in recently BOTSWANA has a new ruling party for the first time in more than 50 years after the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) was voted out during the country’s recent elections. The left-leaning Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) won 36 seats in parliament compared with four for the BDP. The UDC’s leader, Duma Boko, who was sworn in recently as president of the country, is a highly trained human rights lawyer who studied at Harvard. After his party’s victory was confirmed, Boko told the media, “I can only pledge to [the people] that I will do my very best. Where I fail and fault, I will look to them for guidance.” SA deputy president Paul Mashatile, EFF leader Julius Malema and BOSA…

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. LIFE right developments are popular options for retirement as they don’t involve property transfers or bond registrations and there are no transfer fees or VAT payable. Plus, the costs are usually lower than buying a property of a similar size. But people often run into trouble by not understanding what exactly they’re buying into. These are the most common mistakes and misconceptions when it comes to this type of property. 1 NOT UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT If you buy a life right, you’re not buying the physical property. Ownership is never transferred to your name and remains in the developer’s name. You are only buying the right…

HER PAIN was agonising and constant. Her legs bent inwards at a 90-degree angle, making walking almost as gruelling as the bullying and cruel jeers from other children. Life hasn’t been kind to 10-year-old Fudia from Sierra Leone in West Africa. She was born with Blount’s disease, a rare condition that affects the growth of the tibia and creates a bend or bow in the leg below the knee. “We noticed it the very first day she was born – her legs were not normal,” recounts her uncle and guardian, Joseph. Only the first names of Fudia and her family have been released. Fudia’s father died when she was five and she and her mother went to live with Joseph and his wife, Massa, who did their best to help…
