I FELT so inspired when I read our story about Louis Massyn, who’s preparing for this year’s gruelling Comrades of 89km between Pietermaritzburg and Durban. Louis is 74, but we all know age is just a number. What makes his story remarkable, is that this year will mark his 50th Comrades. He was 22 when he tackled his first ultramarathon in 1973, and he’s never looked back from the thrill of it all. The adrenaline at the crack of dawn, the camaraderie, the sense of achievement afterwards . . . I had my first glimpse of this particular kind of uplifting experience when I entered a relay team triathlon recently. I’ll be honest, I’m not going to set any athletic records anytime soon – and I almost didn’t make it…

SHE was on her way to church one Sunday when a wave of nausea suddenly hit. As her husband pulled over to the side of the road, he jokingly asked if she was pregnant. Marion Peake laughed it off. It couldn’t be. As much as she yearned to have another child they knew the chances of her conceiving were virtually zero – she hadn’t ovulated in nearly eight years. After being diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer and undergoing a double mastectomy, doctors had declared her child-bearing years over. What’s more, she and her pastor husband, Matthew, already had more than 20 kids under their roof – their daughters, Meliyah (13) and Mckenna (9), and the foster children they provide a home for in East London under the…

SIR LEWIS BY MICHAEL E SAWYER Macmillan With the latest Formula One season in full swing, this is the perfect read to get into gear for what promises to be another exciting year in the sport. The cover states that it’s “the definitive biography” and it keeps that promise, digging into all aspects of Lewis Hamilton’s life. His social justice work and the impact of him being the sport’s only black driver are also well-covered. It examines his early days in karting, his relationship with his father, the rivalries with teammates and competitors from Fernando Alonso to Max Verstappen, his biggest races and evidence of his incredible sportsmanship and mental toughness. It looks at Hamilton’s iconic status and whether he is the GOAT, which is hard to argue against when…

CROSSED arms, a fidgety foot, a direct stare . . . signs ordinary people wouldn’t think twice about during a conversation. But for Judi James these seemingly small gestures can tell volumes about a person. For the past 40 years, the 74-year-old has devoted herself to studying the behaviour of famous people – from politicians to actors to royals. And in the process, she’s become an unlikely celebrity herself. As one of the UK’s leading communications and body language experts, she’s one busy lady. Judi is regularly quoted in royal stories, where she offers insights into the body language of everyone from the Waleses to the Sussexes. She’s been in demand too to dissect the behaviour of Donald Trump since he took office again in January – and now Judi…

LOVE’S UPS... Looking at new pics of American actress SHAILENE WOODLEY and French hunk LUCAS BRAVO in Paris, you can see why it’s called the city of love. The Big Little Lies actress and Emily in Paris star recently hard-launched their relationship when she visited him in the French capital. They were photographed walking hand in hand and Lucas (37) could be seen a few times pulling Shailene (33) close to him in a bear hug while she looked adoringly up at him.

EVER had that moment where you leave a hair salon feeling done in rather than done up? Model EMILY RATAJKOWSKI recently documented what she called “the worst haircut of my life” on TikTok. Emily (33) told her viewers she visited a hair salon and her glorious brunette locks were chopped into unflattering layers she described as an attempt at a ’70s shag cut. “Oh, you thought I was going to be funny? I have bangs at the back of my head,” she said while showing off the hair disaster. IT WAS a case of like mother, like daughter when KRIS JENNER showed off a funky, new slicked-back power bob on Instagram. Kris (69), who is known for her shorter pixie cut, debuted the new look for a private party she…

“I WAS LIKE, ‘I NEED TO GET THIS OUT OF MY SYSTEM AND STOP THIS’. I TRIED TO FORCE MYSELF TO THROW UP BUT NOTHING HAPPENED” SHE regretted her decision to try to take her own life minutes after swallowing a catastrophic number of sleeping pills. “I started feeling really bad,” Michaela Stanley says. “I was like, I need to get this out of my system and stop this. I tried to force myself to throw up but nothing happened. “The last thing I remember was falling on the bathroom floor.” Her mother, Lauren, who lives in Limpopo, raised the alarm after she hadn’t heard from her daughter, who was then a student at the University of Cape Town. She called Michaela’s grandfather who lived in Cape Town, who contacted…

SHE BLURTED OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT HER PAST AND BURST MY BUBBLE Q My girlfriend recently unexpectedly told me all about her life. She says she felt she had to unburden herself. She told me that she was a sex worker for several years to survive and that she had several near-death experiences with clients. She also told me that she’d had several abortions. When I met her, she had an almost angelic appearance although I knew that she’d had sexual encounters before me. After she told me I felt such disgust towards her that I had to rush home to process what she’d told me. The thought of so many men having been with her is horrible to me and I was immediately switched off lovemaking with her. It’s…

THE ZOO CREW ■ I met my girlfriend while she was working at the zoo. As soon as I saw her in her uniform, I knew she was a keeper. ■ I was at the zoo recently and one of the tropical birds just kept screaming at me, so I screamed back at it. Toucan play at that game. ■ A monkey escaped from the petting zoo. He rode out the gates on the back of a baby sheep. According to the authorities, he is on the lamb. ■ Why did people stop playing poker at the zoo? Because of the cheetahs. ■ To start a zoo, you need at least two pandas, a grizzly and three polars. That’s the bear minimum. ■ I just saw a zookeeper lift a…

WE TALK ABOUT Dark energy may be losing its spark THE universe continues to expand and it’s speeding up as time goes on. Scientists think this is because of something called dark energy. But new research hints that dark energy might actually be weakening. If this turns out to be true, it could completely change the way we understand time and space. When scientists in America and Australia first discovered dark energy in 1998, they didn’t know exactly what it was so they named it dark energy to reflect its mysterious nature. The discovery earned one Australian and two American astrophysicists the Nobel Prize in physics. Even though its exact nature remains unknown, astronomers can measure dark energy and observe how galaxies expand. Since 1998 scientists have assumed dark energy…

HE SAID it himself – love is in the air. And with that the most famous golfer in the world and the former daughter-in-law of the US president became the sports world’s newest glamour couple. To those not in Tiger Woods’ inner circle, the public disclosure of his romance came as a surprise. The 49-year-old has been guarded about this private life after a string of scandals shattered his reputation and damaged his career. And true to form, Tiger kept his new relationship with Vanessa Trump (47) secret for months – but rumours had started rumbling and a friend says he realised he’d have to go public at some stage if he wanted to “own the narrative”. “He didn’t exactly love going public but obviously dating [a] Trump is always…

Justin Bieber continues to cause concern for his wellbeing after taking to social media to share his anger issues and struggles with his self-image. “I got anger issues too, but I wanna grow and not react so much,” the Intentions singer captioned a post with a carousel of pictures. In another post Justin (31) talks about how he hates himself when he starts to feel inauthentic. “Then I remember we’re all being made to think we’re not enough, but I still hate when I change myself to please people.” This comes amid rumours his marriage to model Hailey Bieber (28) is on the rocks. Fans called him out saying he was disrespectful towards Hailey after he posted a meme of a child flashing his middle fingers with the message, “POV…

EUROPEAN SPACE SETBACK German rocket explodes GERMANY’S ambitious return to rocket development ended in failure when the Spectrum rocket, developed by Munich-based Isar Aerospace, recently exploded shortly after launch – dealing a significant blow to European space ambitions. The 27m-tall, unmanned Spectrum rocket lifted off successfully in Norway on 30 March but began spiralling out of control just 18 seconds into its flight. Video footage shows the vehicle tumbling before losing engine thrust, crashing into the sea and erupting in a dramatic fireball. Initial assessments point to a malfunction in the vector control system. Despite the setback Isar Aerospace CEO Daniel Metzler remains optimistic. “Our first test flight met all our expectations, achieving a great success,” he said in a statement. “We had a clean lift-off, 30 seconds of flight…

FOR years she was teased by her peers and gawked at by strangers who’d point at her teeth and comment on them. But those painful experiences are long in the past for Aimee Lou Wood. What was once her greatest insecurity – her big gappy buck teeth – has become her defining characteristic and a cornerstone of her appeal. The 31-year-old actress is no newcomer to showbiz – she’s played a student and aspiring baker in Netflix’s Sex Education; portrayed one of the daughters of England’s beloved feline painter Louis Wain in his biopic, The Electrical Life of Louis Wain; and acted as a pregnant woman navigating life with her newly divorced dad in the comedy series Daddy Issues. But if you’ve been anywhere near the internet recently, you’ll have…

WHETHER it’s the food we eat, the clothes we wear or the cars our parents drive – these are all things that need to be made. The process of making things is called production. Production relies on four important ingredients for success: labour, capital, land and entrepreneurship. These are called the factors of production and each one plays an important role in helping businesses and companies grow and thrive. ➧ LABOUR: THE WORK Labour is the work people do to produce goods and provide services. Examples of physical labour or manual labour are farmers and farm workers who grow the food we eat or builders who construct buildings. Then there is the kind of labour that involves thinking, such as scientists who invent new medicines or people who do research…
