WHERE is Joshlin? I don’t think we’ll ever stop wondering until there’s closure in the case that’s gripped the nation ever since Kelly Smith’s daughter disappeared in February 2024. The fact that Kelly has now been found guilty of trafficking her child and sent to jail along with her accomplices brings little solace as the whereabouts of the little girl remain unknown. Captain Wesley Lombard, the investigating officer who’s spent the past 15 months seeking justice, says he promised his dying dad he’d never stop searching for Joshlin. He’s a father too, and he feels a deep commitment to justice for kids. It was such an emotional moment for Wesley when Joshlin’s mom was finally sentenced to life-long imprisonment, that he felt the tears well up in court. But even…

IF YOU didn’t know better you’d think they were just two close friends, enjoying Los Angeles’ spring weather, doing a spot of shopping and generally grunging about, as young people do. But one of the kids is Shiloh Jolie, daughter of two of the most famous people on the planet. And when you’re spotted looking cosy with someone, the inevitable speculation will arise – especially if you’ve been seen getting up close and personal with this person before. The friend in question is Keoni Rose, a dancer who sweetly wrapped her arm around Shiloh at one point as they were crossing the street during an outing to coincide with Shiloh’s 19th birthday on 27 May. The outing marked six months since the pair put on an affectionate display in LA,…

CELEBRATING your child’s 16th birthday is special for every parent – but when they’ve been through as much as this one has, the milestone is extra special. There were months she barely clung to life, dozens of operations, weeks in hospital, and years of extensive therapy. And there are plenty of ongoing challenges too – but right now, it’s all about celebration. Pippie Kruger, who sustained burns to 80% of her body at a New Year’s Eve braai in 2011, is turning 16, and it’s party time at the family’s home in the seaside town of Stilbaai. There are balloons, a chocolate and peanut butter cake with candles, presents and cards. Pippie is loving being the centre of attention, laughing in delight as the gifts are opened. One present is…

MY WIFE HAS LOST INTEREST IN SEX AND I’M AFRAID SHE’S HAVING AN AFFAIR Q My wife of six years has suddenly lost interest in sex. We used to have a wonderful sex life and congratulated ourselves that we were so compatible sexually. Now if I try to approach her physically, even for just a hug, she shrugs me off and tells me I should behave myself. She’s also changed over the past two years. She’s lost weight and now looks so sexy and dresses seductively although she tells me she’s not interested in sex. She tends to have more girls’ nights out and has started a new job in which she has to wine and dine clients all the time, with the result that she’s away from home most…

GEMINI 21 MAY – 20 JUN WEALTH, WISDOM AND HOME CALLS If you’ve recently come into money, you may still be shell-shocked and uncertain of what to do. Take your time, especially if friends have all sorts of advice and recommendations on offer. The bigger picture requires that you revisit your financial planning and strategies and you’d be better off getting expert advice. Next, aim to get more rest and to spend more time at home because, from the 17th, your presence is needed. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 13, 25, 40, 44, 35, 22 CANCER 21 JUN – 21 JUL It’ll be a balancing act at work this week as far as accommodating the notions of expansion and structuring are concerned.

WE TALK ABOUT Four Brits climb Everest in five days A GROUP of four British ex-soldiers insist they have broken the record for the fastest climb of Mount Everest, having made it from base camp to the summit in five days – on average, this journey can take two months! All four men – Alistair Carns, who is also the UK’s minister of veterans affairs, Garth Miller, Anthony Stazicker and Kevin Godlington – were previously members of the British special forces. The team managed the quick climb with the use of xenon, a noble gas that we can’t see or smell. This gas helped them to avoid altitude sickness, making their climb much more manageable. The news has stunned the mountaineering world. The Nepalese government, where Everest is located, is…

HAILEY Bieber has just entered the billion-dollar-business stratosphere. The 28-year-old model and entrepreneur recently announced that e.l.f. Beauty bought her skincare line, Rhode, for a whopping $1 billion (R18bn). She expressed her delight on Instagram. “I have found a like-minded disruptor with a vision to be a different kind of company that believes in big ideas and innovation.” Hailey will remain the founder and also serve as Rhode’s chief creative officer and head of innovation. Hailey’s brand – named after her middle name – has become a hit with Generation Z, thanks in part to her celebrity clout. Not only is she a successful model, she’s also the wife of pop star Justin Bieber and the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin. Justin, with whom she has a nine-month-old son, is…

THE FOUGHT back tears when Judge Nathan Erasmus handed down sentencing. The woman he’d spent months investigating – the mother who’d sold her own daughter for R20 000 – was going to be locked away for the rest of her life. In one of the most shocking child trafficking cases in South African history, Racquel “Kelly” Smith and her two accomplices each received life sentences plus an additional 10 years for the kidnapping and trafficking of six-year-old Joshlin Smith. For Detective Captain Wesley Lombard, hearing the trio would spend their lives behind bars was bittersweet. Yes, justice had been done – but the case of the green-eyed girl remains open, a grim question mark hanging over a crime that’s made headlines around the world. Where is Joshlin? This is the…

SHE has a lot going for her, does Kris Jenner – vision, brains, energy, clout and style in spades. And the formidable Kardashian/Jenner momager has used everything in her arsenal to propel her family into the reality TV stratosphere. But there’s one thing Kris is clearly determined not to do – embrace the inevitable ravages of time. Because while the rest of us have to contend with crinkles and creases as the years roll on, Kris remains as wrinkle-free as the high-end garments that bedeck the behinds of her honey-hued offspring. Some people have remarked she’s looking even younger than her daughters these days. The 69-year-old appeared younger, brighter and lovelier than ever when she joined the lavish bachelorette celebrations hosted by Lauren Sánchez, Amazon boss Jeff Bezos’ bride-to-be, in…

1 SHE’S BACK! When you’re as famous and talented as she is, tongues will wag about everything from your personal life to that of your family. And 32-year-old MILEY CYRUS knows this all too well. If it’s not unpleasant stories about her mom and sister, it’s about the feud and estrangement between her and her father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. The best response is to immerse yourself in your talent and that’s what Miley has done. The release of her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, at the end of May features several songs that are great to sing along to, as well as a few tearjerkers.

AT 37, he’s Africa’s youngest president – and judging by the buzz he generates on social media he’s one of the continent’s biggest heartthrobs too. Ibrahim Traoré has been described as “the most handsome president in the world”, a “fine man” and even “Africa’s answer to Che Guevara”. With his jaunty red beret, army fatigues and matching leather gloves, Burkina Faso leader Traoré has become more than just a head of state – he’s a cultural icon. South African poet Mzwakhe Mbuli has written a tribute song in his honour. Supporters display tattoos of his face and gather in huge rallies to back him in the nation’s capital, Accra. Yet Traoré’s appeal runs deeper than his baby-faced looks. After seizing power in the West African country in 2022, he maintained…

WHEN they’re in public, they’re all smiles and hand-holding and tender glances – but what goes on behind doors may well be another matter. In fact, it was an open door that gave the world insight into what could lie beneath the surface when the cameras aren’t rolling. French president Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, inadvertently provided an unscripted peek into their relationship recently – and it was far from the loved-up displays usually seen from these two. As the presidential jet touched down in Hanoi, Vietnam, the door of the plane was swung open by an aide and the assembled media captured an unexpected scene – a seemingly enraged Brigitte (72) lashing out at her husband and shoving him in the face, pushing him with enough force to…

BEFORE the call came she was planning to have an early night because she’d been feeling a bit under the weather. But when the president’s office phones, you answer – and when you’re told Cyril Ramaphosa wants you to be part of a delegation to the White House, a cough and a sniffle are soon forgotten. “I couldn’t say no to the national call,” Zingiswa Losi says. “This was much bigger than me.” The 49-year-old, who’s president of Cosatu, South Africa’s largest trade union, sprang into action, packing her bags so she’d be ready to jet off the next day. It was nerve-racking because she knew how much was riding on the crucial meeting. Over the past few years she’d travelled to Washington DC several times, speaking to both Republicans…

KIDDING AROUND ■ Did you hear about the kidnapping in the street? It’s fine, he woke up. ■ Why did the child get in trouble for quacking like a duck? Because he was using fowl language. ■ Whenever my daughter is upset, I let her colour in my black and white tattoos. In those moments, she just needs a shoulder to crayon. ■ Why did the kid eat his homework? Because the teacher said it was a piece of cake. ■ My mom used to make me eat alphabet soup. She insisted on me telling everyone I loved it. I didn’t, she was putting words in my mouth. YOU’RE OUTTA HERE! ■ My boss is threatening to fire the employee with the worst posture. I have a hunch it might…

AIR BY JOHN BOYNE Transworld Fans were keen to see how Boyne would bring his elements quartet to a close – and the Irish novelist doesn’t disappoint. After Water, Earth and Fire, it all comes to a satisfying conclusion with Air. Most of the novella is spent at high altitude and focuses on Aaron Umber and his son, Emmet, who are on a long flight from Sydney to Ireland. Aaron is hoping it will give him a chance to connect with his child but most of his overtures are rebuffed. Things are complicated . . . Aaron, who readers got to know in Fire, has never managed to entirely heal from traumatic events of his past. His ex-wife, Rebecca, who featured in Water, is also carrying scars from her childhood.…

SHE’S the contemporary equivalent of Barney the purple dinosaur, beloved by toddlers and parents the world over as an entertainer and educator. Ms Rachel is best known for creating the YouTube series Songs for Littles, a kids’ music series that focuses on language development – an initiative that’s had billions of views and secured her a Netflix deal. But the cheery, pink-headbanded 42-year-old has been making the news for a whole different reason lately. Her recent social media posts also revolve around children – but the track she’s been taking recently has seen her being labelled “a terrorist”. Rachel’s posts supporting Palestinian children, who are starving and dying in the Gaza war, are akin to “Hamas-aligned propaganda”, the American organisation StopAntisemitism says. “Given the vast sums of foreign funds that…

HE SHOWED us the correct technique for crane kicks and gave bullied kids the world over hope that they too could kick martial art butt if they were prepared to train hard and never give up. Now Ralph Macchio, the original Karate Kid, is back on the big screen as Daniel LaRusso in Karate Kid: Legends, marking the first time he’s revisited the beloved character on the silver screen since the 1989 movie The Karate Kid III. The new movie co-stars martial arts legend Jackie Chan (71), who reprises his role as Mr Han from the 2010 Karate Kid movie, and Ben Wang (25), best known for the Disney+ series American Born Chinese. Ralph is 63 now but he still has the boyish good looks that made him a teen…
