IT’S the biggest of all Grand Slams – two weeks of top-class tennis that draws not only the elites of the sport but also the crème de la crème of celebrities. Yet there’s one person the world wants to see almost as much as the finalists on the last weekend of Wimbledon – and in the weeks running up to the tournament, there was some speculation about whether she’d be there. Kate has pulled out of some events at the 11th hour as she continues to prioritise her recovery, and there was no guarantee she’d be in the royal box with its commanding view of Centre Court. But as millions of people tuned in for the women’s final, there she was – and the reception she received was enough to…

WEDDED WIT ■ I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes. She gave me a hug. ■ My wife says I’m too competitive. I told her I already knew that. ■ My wife claims I’m the cheapest person she’s ever met. I’m not buying it. ■ My wife’s leaving me because she thinks I’m obsessed with astronomy. What planet is she on? ■ I invited my wife to go to the gym with me and then I didn’t show. I hope she gets the message that we’re not working out. ■ I told my wife she drew her eyebrows too high.

WHEN THE CRANES FLY SOUTH By LISA RIDZÉN Doubleday This debut novel was a smash-hit success in Sweden last year, winning multiple awards, including book of the year. Now the profoundly moving tale has been translated into English and 32 other languages, and is taking the world by storm. It revolves around 89-year-old Bo who lives in a small rural village with his beloved dog, Sixten. His wife, Fredrika, has dementia which is so advanced that she has no idea who Bo is anymore and lives in a facility. With his own health slowly becoming more fragile, he’s looked after by a team of carers and is intent on repairing his rocky relationship with his son, Hans, while he still has time. The story is told through Bo’s eyes in…

NOTE Adult supervision is needed. HANDY TIPS ■ You can use all kinds of fruit – apples, pears, apricots, plums, grapes or berries. Just peel if needed, remove any stones and chop them up! ■ Taste the fruit before you start. If it’s already sweet, you might not need much sugar or lemon juice. ■ There’s no “perfect”recipe – alter the amount of fruit, sugar and lemon juice to suit your taste. ■ Try using honey instead of sugar – or add a little of both for extra yumminess! STEP BY STEP 1 PREHEAT THE OVEN • Ask an adult to help you preheat the oven to 65°C – that’s low and slow! 2 PREP YOUR FRUIT • Wash the berries. If you’re using strawberries, cut off the green tops…

PULLING a windcheater over his black priest’s attire, Father Ian Wilson walks me up the steep path behind the General Curia headquarters of the Order of Saint Augustine to a secret haven at the foot of the Janiculum Hill that feels a world away from the packed crowds close by in St Peter’s Square. A spectacular view of St Peter’s Basilica appears as he leads me to the spot where Robert Prevost, the newly installed Pope Leo XIV and the Catholic Church’s first Augustinian pontiff, once fought his opponents. Their choice of weapons? Tennis rackets. This was several decades ago, when Ian, a Scot, and the future pope, a young American, were students here in Rome and the court upon which Robert shuttled back and forth was just packed earth.…

Mother and daughter pair KATE MOSS and LILA GRACE MOSS HACK spent quality time in sunny Ibiza recently. Kate (51) and Lila (22), who has become a sought-after model like her mother, showed off their bikini bods in matching black two-pieces. The holiday serves as a welcome reprieve for Kate, whose wellness business Cosmoss went into liquidation at the end of June. While at the beach, Lila also showcased her insulin pump, which she wears for her type 1 diabetes. She recently launched her own Barbie doll that also sports an insulin pump and a glucose monitor.…

BLOWN away – that’s how we feel about the marvellous matriarchs who entered our exciting competition. Stylish, interesting and inspiring women from all four corners of the country came forward – some nominated themselves and others were nominated by family members wishing to honour the grans at the heart of their homes. And, boy oh boy, did our panel have their work cut out for them when it came to sifting through the hundreds of entries to find the top 30! Hours were spent going through all the photos and heartwarming stories that comprised the nominations. We read about women who have gone above and beyond for their families and communities, and women who even in the most difficult of times handle life with grace and selflessness. And let’s not…

COULD SCAMMERS HAVE BRAINWASHED MY HUSBAND? Q My husband was recently conned by scammers who phoned him pretending to be from his bank. They managed to get important information from him and as a result they took R400 000 from his bank account. He was very traumatised and took a few months to get over it. Recently, I was standing in his office when he received a call. Again it was somebody claiming to be calling from his bank, and they asked him for his OTP number as the withdrawal was from his credit card. He stood there in a trance and regardless of me gesturing to him to put down his phone, he gave his OTP number to them and they swiped R7 000 from his credit card. My…

LEO 22 JUL – 22 AUG MAKE PLANS, COMMUNICATE CLEARLY The new moon in Leo falls early on in your birthday month, on the 24th to be precise. This is a good time to set your intentions for the next year even though you have to accommodate Mercury retrograde in your sign. If travel is on your longer-term horizon, you’re allowed to dream and make plans. A relationship issue is more pertinent towards the 25th and requires all of your crisis management skills to navigate through deep waters. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 4, 18, 25, 27, 22, 8 VIRGO 23 AUG – 22 SEP The new moon activates that area of your horoscope relating to self-nurturing, something you may tend to neglect especially if you are a busy Virgos. Downtime is…

A MAJESTIC lion, grappling giraffes, villagers at sunset and cascading waterfalls – South Africa certainly hit the jackpot when it comes to wondrous wildlife and natural beauty. And this diversity has been celebrated in a local photographic competition, Our Country Through Your Lens, the brainchild of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The contest attracted 1 430 entries and the winning images will be displayed along Sea Point Promenade in Cape Town during Heritage Month in September. An exhibition is planned for Johannesburg later this year. “These photographs remind us that conservation isn’t an abstract concept – it’s deeply personal,” WWF CEO Dr Morné du Plessis says. “Every entry received represents someone who stopped, looked around and decided what they saw was worth preserving for future generations. These aren’t…

SHE’s always been Daddy’s little darling and Mommy’s little treasure, the baby of the Beckham clan who’s doted on by her three older brothers. But the cute tot who danced for her dad as a toddler and giggled as her mom did her hair for school is growing up fast – and making her mark in a family where style is a staple and every milestone is a big deal. And no one could be more delighted than Posh and Becks – so when Harper Seven Beckham turned 14 recently her parents laid the social media love on thick. They shared a series of throwback photos and videos of their princess, who’s named after Harper Lee, author of Victoria’s favourite book, To Kill a Mockingbird. “Happy birthday to my world,”…

WHEN it comes to protecting megastars, security staff have their work cut out for them, from making sure that overeager fans don’t get too handsy to keeping an eye out for dangerous stalkers and even lending a hand with their employer’s outfit. Often just known to the public by their first names for security reasons, these gentle giants work with their star clients for years and become almost like family to them. RACHEL ZEGLER recently stood up for her bodyguard, only known as DANNY, when a fan shouted at him for being too aggressive. The 24-year-old actress was signing autographs outside The London Palladium, where she’s starring in the musical Evita. After shows she greets fans outside the theatre. “Hey, I love you so much, but Danny is just doing…

THE VERDICT is still out on whether the new Superman movie is any good but the bromance between its stars DAVID CORENSWET and NICHOLAS HOULT is already a massive hit. David (32) stars as the man of steel while Nicholas (35) plays his arch nemesis Lex Luthor. While they play rivals in the movie, off-screen the co-stars have been jokingly feuding throughout their press tour. After Nicholas recently left an interview wearing a tight white vest with a sweater thrown over his shoulders, David couldn’t resist copying his co-star’s look when he stepped out.…

TRUMP MEME MOCKED Critics slam White House Superman post THE White House sparked controversy recently after posting an AI-generated image depicting President Donald Trump as Superman on its official social media accounts just hours after the release of the latest film about the superhero. The image showed a muscular Trump in the iconic costume accompanied by the caption, “The symbol of hope. Truth. Justice. The American Way. Superman Trump.” Additional overlay text read: “A Trump Presidency. Truth. Justice. The American Way.” An apparent attempt to capitalise on the buzz generated by the release of the new Superman movie, it instead drew a scathing backlash on social media, with California Democratic representative Robert Garcia commenting, “He’s literally Lex Luthor.” The post is the latest in a stream of unconventional social media…

A CANCER diagnosis is scary – and being hit with astronomical medical bills can make things even more stressful. While you may think the cost of treatment is unlimited when you belong to a medical aid scheme, or that you’ll have full cover because the condition is classified as a prescribed minimum benefit (PMB), you could be in for a nasty surprise. Here’s what you need to know. 1 YOU MUST JOIN THE ONCOLOGY PROGRAMME Most schemes require that you obtain pre-authorisation and that you register for their oncology programme with a specific cancer care provider, such as ICON or the South African Oncology Consortium, after diagnosis. You…

IT’S always nice to pull a bowl of popcorn closer and watch your favourite film. Did you know most movies originate from stories that are written? There are different stories or genres that can be written. Today, we look at the various types of stories that you encounter at school. THE NOVEL One of these is prescribed for your grade every year, and it’s certainly one of the most well-known genres that you’ll encounter at school. It’s a fairly long, fictional story that usually consists of chapters. Throughout the course of the story, the events of the characters are told over a specific period. The reader also deals with the thoughts and actions of the characters. The events usually lead to the intrigue or tension in the storyline. There can…

SHE was eight when she saw the first movie and she was transfixed – the terror of the ferocious T-rex, the majesty of a herd of brontosaurus munching leaves in a lush landscape, the menace of velociraptors outwitting the humans . . . Steven Spielberg’s now-iconic Jurassic Park triggered a stark determination in Scarlett Johansson – if there were any follow-ups, she wanted to be part of it. “I’ll die in the first five minutes! I can get eaten by whatever! I’ll do the catering service! I’ll do anything for it!” There were sequels – plenty of them. But it’s taken many years and other roles before Scarlett got what she wanted. And what a ride it’s become. Thanks to the 40-year-old’s star power, Jurassic World Rebirth is a global…

HIGH School Musical star VANESSA HUDGENS and her baseball player husband, COLE TUCKER, aren’t wasting any time growing their little family. The couple, who tied the knot in December 2023, recently announced to the world that they are expecting their second child just a week after their firstborn turned one. In pics posted on Instagram, Vanessa (36) showed off her burgeoning baby bump alongside an overjoyed Cole (29) with the message, “Round two!!!!” The couple have been fiercely protective of their baby, who was born last year on 3 July, which also happens to be Cole’s birthday. Last year, they hit back at the paparazzi after photos of them were leaked leaving the hospital with their tot before they could announce that the child had been born. “We’re disappointed that…

BEING one of the most searched celebrities on the internet, it only makes sense that KIM KARDASHIAN would keep an eye on how she’s being covered by the media. While parading around Paris during Fashion Week, Kim (44) was snapped scrolling through paparazzi photos of herself from the day before. Kim previously mentioned she manages her reputation by following Google alerts on her name. So too does her mother Kris Jenner, but more to keep track of her famous brood. “Sometimes I want to know where everybody is,” the mom of six explained.…

IS THERE such a thing as too many gems? If you’re asking MIA LE ROUX, the answer is a resounding no! When she was crowned Miss SA a diamond-encrusted tiara was placed upon her head. But now she’s showing off a rock more precious than any that have gone before: the emerald sparkling on her ring finger. Mia, who will soon end her Miss South Africa reign, recently announced her engagement to LUKE TEN OEVER. She revealed the happy news by sharing loved-up photos on her social media pages. “I’ve had a challenging year. But now I’m looking forward to planning my wedding and building our lives together,” Mia tells YOU.
