EVERYONE knows who their father is – he’s SA’s Mr Rugby, the take-no-prisoners big boss who transformed the Springboks into a world-beating side. His twin daughters were in Japan in 2019 when the Boks won the World Cup and they were in France four years later when the team lifted the trophy again. “Kisses for the Webbi,” Nikki Erasmus captioned a picture on Instagram of her and the Webb Ellis Cup after the Bok victory. She and her twin, Carli, have poked fun at their dad on social media too. In 2022 the sisters posted a hilarious video thanking World Rugby for banning their father for only two matches after he posted critical tweets about referees. “We think it’s time he goes back to work,” Carli said. “We’re grateful the…

THERE was a time when she’d spend her days rushing around, trying to balance the demands of work with running a home and raising kids. But then something happened that made Ronellé Foster take stock of her life: she found out she had cancer – and despite the many challenges a life-changing illness can bring she’s ultimately grateful for it. If it hadn’t been for the Big C, she says, she’d still be doing things the old way. Staring death in the face has made her a different person. Ronellé was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), a rare cancer of the blood and bone marrow, in 2020, and told her chances of survival were slim. But through sheer luck and her sister volunteering to supply bone marrow so she…

Giving yourself a faux tan can easily end in disaster. Here are some tips to ensure an even sun-kissed look every time. BEFORE The key to a seamless, streak-free application lies in the prep work. EXFOLIATE This will remove previous fake tan, product build-up and dead skin. Isle of Paradise founder Jules Von Hep (responsible for MARGOT ROBBIE’s Barbie glow) follows a two-weeks-on, one-week-off tanning routine. In between tans he recommends “a light scrub to exfoliate and remove any stubborn tan patches. Once you have removed the top layer, you can start again.” MOISTURISE Model ASHLEY GRAHAM attributes a longer-lasting, more even glow to hydrated skin. “Moisturiser is key on those dry areas such as knees and elbows,” she says. “It will make a huge difference and result in a…

Investors are lured by the promise of high returns and the schemes are often promoted by someone they know or trust. While the structure and what’s promised may differ, there’s one thing all Ponzi schemes have in common – they eventually go bust, leading to big losses. HOW IT WORKS Ponzi schemes depend almost entirely on new investors’ cash to make money. They pay out profits to the first group of investors with the money of later investors. The operators make sure the initial investors are properly rewarded. Later investors may experience problems when trying to withdraw money. They…

ON OUR RADAR 1 THE CHERRY ON TOP Popular singer and songwriter MAJOZI says his latest single, Reason, featuring rapper EARLY B, will be “the cherry on top” for fans. It’s from his latest album, A Great Exchange, which is about “musical collaboration and creative exploration”, the indie folk musician says. He’s collaborated with artists including Mikhaela Faye on Afterglow and Mthandazo Gatya on Mi Amor. “After I recorded all my parts for Reason I felt it needed something special and I couldn’t think of anyone better to give it more oomph than Early B. He’s not just an incredible artist but also a wonderful guy. “This whole project was about collaboration and it was amazing to have him on board,” Majozi says. Early B, in turn, says they had…

HIS CREATIONS are so exquisite they’re almost too delightful to eat. Amaury Guichon, a seasoned pastry chef and chocolatier known as The Chocolate Guy, has achieved global fame for his masterful chocolate artistry. With millions of followers on social media and a hit Netflix show, his larger-than-life pieces – from dinosaurs to the house from the movie Up – are a feast for the eye. Whether it’s a giant toothbrush or a whimsical rubber ducky, Amaury has done it all. Recently the 33-year-old French-Swiss confectioner set a Guinness World Record with a massive chocolate banana sculpture. The intricately crafted piece, a partially peeled banana dipped in chocolate, stands at an impressive 1,6m and took five painstaking days to complete. Having his work recognised by the global record setters is a…

BRAD & SHILO When SHILOH JOLIE was born, bets were rolling in on whether she’d look more like dad BRAD PITT or mom Angelina Jolie. At 18, with her blonde hair and blue eyes, she’s definitely leaning to Brad’s genetic side. LEA & ZOEY Back to the Future actress LEA THOMPSON looks like she took the movie’s famous time- machine car to the past and brought back her younger self, with daughter ZOEY DEUTCH (30) being a dead ringer for her mom. KATIE & SURI SURI CRUISE could easily have stepped in as mom KATIE HOLMES’ double on the 1990s teen drama Dawson’s Creek. The 18-year-old and her mom have the same dark hair, soft brown eyes, and apple-cheeked smile. ZOE & SONS ZOE SALDAÑA’s three boys – twins CY…

SHE wasn’t sad to see the back of 2024. Her relentless quest for justice for her murdered husband tested her strength and resolve and day after day she faced the thick walls of bureaucracy that seemed determined to keep the truth hidden. But Nicolette Kinnear is stepping into the new year with renewed vigour and a rock-solid commitment to her mission. The truth will come out, she says – she will make sure of that. Nicolette’s home in Bishop Lavis, Cape Town, serves as a tribute to her husband, Lieutenant Colonel Charl Kinnear. Photos documenting his life and achievements are framed on the walls and a South African flag with his badges pinned on it is also on display, symbolising his commitment to the nation. Charl’s clothes are still in…

TO SOME he’s an anti-capitalist villain who deserves to be behind bars, to others he’s a folk hero taking on the fat cats – a kind of modern-day Robin Hood with a set of personal circumstances that make him all the more intriguing. And to the internet he’s a dreamboat, the “hot assassin” with perfect teeth and washboard abs – a guy so gorgeous it’s a crime to keep him locked up. Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel called him “America’s most unseemly new sex symbol”. The audience on The Daily Show booed when host Jon Stewart announced he’d been arrested. Fans have flooded news sites and social media to praise him for his alleged crime. Just a few weeks ago no one knew who Luigi Mangione was. Now he’s a…

SCHOOL IS IN SESSION ■ Why didn’t the sun go back to school? Because it already has a million degrees. ■ I watched a movie called The Adjustment, about a chiropractor who quits their job, goes back to school and becomes a famous orthopaedic spinal surgeon. I didn’t really like it . . . Too much backstory. ■ Why did the corn maze go back to school? It was tired of working in a dead-end field. ■ What is a snake’s favourite subject at school? Hisssssstory! ■ Who’s the king of all school supplies? The ruler ■ What did the Indian kid say to his parents when he left for school? Mumbai ■ I got kicked out of mime school . . . Must’ve been something I said. ■ Why…

THE HOUSE OF BECKHAM BY TOM BOWER HarperCollins It’s safe to say that investigative journalist Tom Bower isn’t a fan of the Beckhams. In this book he doesn’t pull any punches, painting David as a money-hungry, mediocre footballer, cheater, liar and tax-dodging show pony who’ll do anything to maintain his perfect image and get that elusive knighthood. Meanwhile Victoria is portrayed as a talentless snob who believes everyone is “out to get us because we’re famous”. She’s also delusional about her husband’s affairs and publicly defends him while deriding him in private, according to Bower. How they’ve managed to stay relevant is just down to PR genius, he maintains. They change staff as soon as a scandal hits and get rid of anyone who dares disagree with them, even David’s…

5FM HOST AND COMEDIAN LEAH JAZZ “It’s not strange but it’s maybe too much. I take my Instax camera pretty much everywhere and have a million bags so every time I pick a bag for the day, I find a few photo printouts. Oh, and Tic Tacs.” SAVAGE BEAUTY STAR LEBOGANG FISHER “I keep Bepanthen [nappy rash ointment]. I use it on my face. I also just got a tattoo so I use it to moisturise the tattoo.” COMEDIAN TUMI MORAKE “Toothpicks, man! I hate having food stuck in my teeth and then having to ask my tongue to perform miracles. LOL!” ACTRESS ROSEMARY ZIMU “I carry a small, non-smartphone I call my dilly-dilly. I got my everyday phone, I got my power bank but I need this for emergencies.”…

SHE’S been through a lot in her life – the death of her famous father, family drama, mental-health issues, a break-up of a two-year relationship that left her devastated. So when Paris Jackson recently posted a carousel of loved-up photographs that included one of her being proposed to, her fans were delighted. And the fact that her fiancé, Justin “Blue” Long, proposed in Paris made it all the more special. Loved-up in the city of love . . . finally some happiness for Michael Jackson’s only daughter. And Paris (26) is clearly in love. “Doing life with you these last years has been an indescribable whirlwind and I couldn’t dream of anyone more perfect for me to do it all with,” she said in a post to fellow musician and…

I HAVE THIS URGE TO HAVE AN AFFAIR Q I’ve been married for 20 years and my wife and I have a mediocre relationship. We are no longer madly in love with each other. Our children (we have two) are at university and no longer live at home. They both have boyfriends whom they stay with, and they work and study part-time. So my wife and I are alone at home again. Over the past several months I’ve had this passionate urge to have an affair with a sexy, beautiful woman. A colleague at work is such a woman and like me is also married but unhappily so. She does not have any children. She’s always so beautifully groomed and modern and has a very sexy figure. While my wife…

BACK in April 2023, Bruce Springsteen played a concert at Barcelona’s Olympic Stadium that felt like a life-changing moment – and not just because it featured Michelle Obama on tambourine. The opening night of Springsteen and the E Street Band’s first European tour in six years was one of those rare events where everything came together: the passion of the crowd; the chemistry of the band; the vitality of a then-73-year-old man leading his equally no-longer-young gang through impassioned renditions of Born to Run, Born in the USA and so many other odes to American life in all its vigour and complication. No wonder Barcelona is such an important feature of Road Diary, a highly personal documentary on Disney+ about how the E Street Band keeps the show on the…
