THE HAWK IS DEAD By PETER JAMES Macmillan Author Peter James has millions of fans and among them is Queen Camilla – the British royal has revealed that he is her favourite crime writer. And now James has repaid the favour by writing Camilla into his latest Roy Grace novel.

The passengers are evacuated and as she and her private secretary, Sir Peregrine Greaves,…

THE Arctic is the icy region at the very top of the world, where the North Pole is. It’s made up of frozen ocean, snowy lands and some places with forests. The tundra is a special part of the Arctic that has no trees, only mosses, lichens and small f lowers, because the ground stays frozen most of the year. Animals like polar bears, Arctic foxes, snowy owls and reindeer live here, while in the ocean you’ll find walruses, seals, whales and narwhals. Many animals move with the seasons – reindeer travel from forests to the tundra in summer to feed, and sea animals swim to warmer waters in winter, then return to the Arctic in summer when food is plentiful. THE TUNDRA The tundra is a cold, treeless region…

IT’S nearly time for the ceremony to begin and the groom is pacing up and down the reception area of the wedding venue. But the nerves have nothing to do with his restlessness. Peter Huxham’s overwhelming emotion is excitement – this is the day he’d dreamt of for years, the one that kept him going through the darkest periods of his imprisonment in a jail in the heart of Africa. Two years ago he proposed to the love of his life from prison and now it’s finally happening: Kathy McConnachie, the woman he’s been with for 32 years, is about to become his wife. Gazing over the field behind the wedding venue – the Rox and Sea Country Lodge in Langebaan – Peter (57) remembers the first time he was…

HE NEVER expected to become South Africa’s most-talked-about reality TV husband – he simply signed up for the show with the goal of finding someone serious about building a life with him. But instead of heading into the sunset with the woman of his dreams, Bongani Luvalo has found himself at the centre of Married at First Sight South Africa’s (MAFS) biggest drama. As fans of the Mzansi Magic show will know, dating is taken to the extreme on the series. Eight singles allow relationship experts to choose their perfect match based on compatibility tests, then marry that person without meeting them first. What follows are eight weeks of cameras capturing every argument, kiss and crisis as the couple decide whether to stay married or walk away. In the second…

MILEY CYRUS is healing familial wounds the best way she knows how – through music. Miley (32) recently opened up about how her dad BILLY RAY CYRUS was moved to tears after listening to a song she wrote for him. Their relationship has had its ups and downs over the past couple of years with some notable rifts developing in the Cyrus clan after Billy (64) split from her mother Tish (58).

SHE’S in the kitchen making koesisters, her hands working methodically through the dough. The batch of sweet treats is for the shop she runs in her home but it’s also a much-needed distraction from her devastating loss. Zainab Daniels’ son Mogamat Yusuf Daniels was killed just days before his wedding, ambushed and shot on Heritage Day while trying to sell his iPhone on Facebook Marketplace to help cover his wedding expenses. It’s the day after what should have been her son’s special day when YOU arrives at Zainab’s home in Delft, Cape Town, and although she’s trying to stay occupied her pain is written across her face. “Yesterday was the saddest day of my life.

MANY people spend years figuring out what they want to do in life but this little guy knew he wanted to become a paediatric neurosurgeon before most kids can even say the word doctor. And now, at the age of just nine, Aiden Wilkins is well on his way to living that dream. Three days a week the child prodigy makes the short trip from his home in Collegeville in Pennsylvania to the campus of Ursinus College where he’s earned a place in history as the youngest student ever enrolled at the institution.

MY HUSBAND IS ALIENATING MY DAUGHTER FROM ME! Q My ex-husband and I divorced two years ago due to his controlling and abusive behaviour. His family spoil him and support everything he does, even though he’s an adult who should take responsibility for himself. Now I believe he and his family are turning our 10-year-old daughter against me. She visits her father every second weekend but when she returns she’s completely different. My normally loving child becomes cheeky, uncontrollable and lashes out at me. She constantly tells me how wonderful her father is and how he lets her do things I don’t allow – like going out until late and wearing inappropriate clothes for her age. I’m terrified that he’s destroying her values and teaching her that anything goes. What…

SMALL SCREEN 1 EXPLOSIVE TENSION A HOUSE OF DYNAMITENetflix, 24 October Kathryn Bigelow, director of the Oscar-winning, knuckle-biting thrillers The Hurt Locker (on Prime Video) and Zero Dark Thirty (on Showmax), returns with a tense new drama which charts the 18 minutes before a nuclear missile strikes an American city. After an introductory sequence, the story is replayed three times, from the viewpoints of different characters, in real time. Nobody knows who launched the missile, or if there are more to follow, but unless it’s stopped, a city will be destroyed and nuclear Armageddon will follow. The first story is set in the bustling White House Situation Room, where the senior duty officer (REBECCA FERGUSON) and the senior director (Jason Clarke) are processing information as it comes in. The second…

Then how Ockert died of Covid in 2021 when the couple were on…

YOU might best remember him as the high schooler who embarks on one last crazy adventure with his friend in Superbad, or as Leonardo DiCaprio’s drugged-up business partner in The Wolf of Wall Street. JONAH HILL looked almost unrecognisable on the set of his new movie Cutt Off in Los Angeles. Not only was he showing off his weight loss, but his character’s avant-garde fashion style was worlds apart from his usual laid-back look. In the movie, he and Kristen Wiig star as entitled twins whose wealthy parents cut them off.…

SOCCER’S FIRST BILLIONAIRE RONALDO JOINS THE MEGA-BUCKS CLUB CRISTIANO Ronaldo has officially joined the billionaire club, becoming the first professional football star to reach the milestone. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has built a financial empire that extends far beyond the sport, drawing income from a combination of club contracts, endorsements, personal business ventures and social media activity.

1. FAB FABRIC Do it like the French do! Go doorless for your cupboards and use your favourite fabric to create the cupboard closure. This works well with softer interior décor styles such as shabby-chic. 2. MOULDING MAGIC Give a cupboard a simple makeover by adding a new dimension with moulding. This adds texture and you can paint it another colour, as done in black here, to make it stand out even more. 3. PAINT PERFECTION Give an old cupboard a new lease of life with a lick of paint. Be sure to get the correct type of paint for the material the cupboard is made of. Make it stand out with a colour that’s completely different to the surroundings or have it blend in by using a colour picked…

THE aurora borealis, better known as the northern lights, is one of the world’s most beautiful things to behold. This spectacle consists of streaks of green, red, blue and purple light that dance back and forth in arcs, ripples and “light curtains” against the dark night sky. Through the centuries, people have told many stories in an effort to understand this natural phenomenon, such as that the lights might be the spirits of their ancestors, the fires of their gods or even omens of change to come. Thanks to scientific progress, today we know exactly what the aurora is and how it forms. Our knowledge does not, however, take away the impact of this breathtaking light display, but it does reveal a fascinating connection between our planet and the sun.…

THE Renosterveld in the Klein Karoo used to be sheep country and flocks can still be seen grazing in the region, so it’s no surprise to see sheepdogs here. But the two collies we’re joining today want nothing to do with the woolly creatures they’re usually associated with. This pair’s duties revolve around another animal altogether – and they’re raring to go. “Delta spotted one within the first three minutes,” says Esther Matthew, the dogs’ handler and an expert in biodiversity, conservation and environmental science. “She had barely left the vehicle and she was working.” Work for Delta and her pooch pal Dash is finding rare and endangered tortoises, searching the veld for animals that blend in so well with the surroundings they’re often impossible to spot with an untrained…
