SOUTH Africa is such a big country and we have a lot on our plate. So, I refuse to be Zuma-centric in this issue as I believe the ANC will finally see the light and realise that Jacob Zuma is a man who has stolen our blessings as a nation – he is the big elephant in the room who must be removed. So let’s talk about another issue that has bothered both men and women in our newsroom. Recently, we sent one of our senior journalists to interview Bra Hugh Masekela. But we were shocked to learn that our journalist had to wear a head scarf as he does not like conducting interviews with journalists who wear weaves. We love Bra Hugh and thank him for the contribution he…

ZINHLE NOXOLO SKOSANA YES It has its bad side and also its good side. Bad side being that financially they can influence the Government policies by throwing their money around, so their leaving is a good thing. SHARON SERETLO YES It’s good that they aren’t here. They ran because they knew people would be coming after them. However, just because they are no longer in the country does not mean their influence is gone. As long as Zuma is President, we’ll hear from them again. KEITUMETSE ISABEL MONAGENG NO They might have left the country now, but they still own businesses in the country, meaning they can come back at any time. They have left only for the smoke to clear; they will be back as long as Jacob Zuma…

THE WEATHER is cool but cloudy – a teaser of the season to come – when we head out to the magnificent Indaba Hotel, Spa & Conference Centre in Fourways, north of Johannesburg, to meet Scandal!’s Kagiso Modupe, his wife and darling daughters. It’s a little over a year since we last saw the Modupe family, so we are pleasantly surprised to learn that there’s a new addition: a baby girl named Motheo. Kagiso (32) seems to have a lot going right for him at the moment; there’s talk of music, a movie and business ventures. The smiles on his face and his wife Liza’s (29) is telling and we simply can’t wait to hear what it’s all about. Of course, we’ve figured out that the new addition to the…

The treatment HHP and Zoey’s mom hope the little girl will get in China involves injecting stem cells from the umbilical cords of healthy babies into the patient’s spinal cord over a period of 28 days. The stem cells are thought to develop into new nerve cells and repair some of the brain damage caused by cerebral palsy, according to medical website medicalnewstoday.com. This treatment is reported to have helped several cerebral palsy patients at Tiantan Puhua Neurosurgical Hospital in Beijing to speak, see and move better and is said to work particularly well in children under three years of age. After the procedure Zoey will have intensive therapy for two months. Zinzi hopes the treatment will improve her daughter’s quality of life and that she may even be able…

1993 Ajay and Atul arrive in South Africa from Saharanpur, India, to explore business opportunities. Soon after their arrival they establish Sahara Computers, named after their hometown. In the following years they found other companies including Oakbay Investments and JIC Mining. 2010 The media starts to note the relationship between Zuma and the Gupta brothers with growing unease.

IT’S A great idea to indulge in a face mask every now and again. You can get the most out of it by understanding the behaviour of your skin. First things first: sleep. It’s important to get in the recommended eight hours per night. Not only is sleeping great for your skin, it also reduces your stress levels. During the day your skin is affected by several environmental factors including UV rays, pollution and other damaging environmental issues (that’s why it is important to wear sunscreen to protect it from all these harsh elements). At night your skin relaxes and repairs itself. Night-time is also when a lot of moisture is lost through the skin. That is why when you are sleep deprived, the first place the signs are visible…

MONOCHROME is one of the most confident interior styles that has stood the test of time and is inspired by the elegance of 1960s black-and-white fashion photography. Here a neutral room is lifted with coral elements to give it a distinct look. DECORATING WITH BLACK AND WHITE: Keep the overall palette calm with natural white, black and grey on the walls, floor and furniture. A burst of coral in the detail keeps the look vibrant without becoming overpowering. Monochrome brings a sense of sophistication and elegance to a space, it’s an easy colour palette to work with and offers plenty of advantages. By only adding small details with colour, it’s easy and inexpensive to change the look whenever you feel like it. The obvious contrast between monochrome colours allows you…

‘Your partner needs a viable sperm count to impregnate you’ Q MY EYES ARE ALWAYS RED I’m 21 and have very red eyes. This makes me very uncomfortable in public. I want normal brown eyes. Is it possible and what is wrong with me? GENIUS, BOTSWANA A The eye has two prominent parts: the pupil (the opening in the centre of the eye) and the sclera (the white part). The white part is the one that usually becomes red due to increased vascularity (very visible blood vessels) and could either be inflammation or an infection caused by allergic stimulus or any bug (from a virus to bacteria) or any immunocompromised state. So when you say you want “normal brown eyes”, I’m not sure which part you are referring to. Is…

1 TALK TO YOUR FRIEND If you’re housemates, say something like: “I’d like you to take the lead from me as to how things are done in my home”. 2 EXPLAIN YOUR FEELINGS Say: “I’m not happy about the following. . .” Give clear examples and avoid becoming personal. 3 GIVE DETAILS Say: “What I’d like to see happen is the following . . ” Then listen to what they have to say and what they suggest as an alternative. 4 BE FAIR Your tone should be serious and you should speak with conviction. 5 BE FIRM If the friend repeats their inappropriate behaviour, give them an ultimatum. Tony suggests saying: “This [the agreement] is what we discussed and agreed upon and now that the agreement is broken, I’m making…

HER BLACK locks are neatly twisted and held in place, revealing her flawless skin. She flashes an infectious smile that lights up her face, and we can’t help but wonder why the actress seems so happy. We get up close and personal with the Generations: The Legacy star Andisiwe Dweba to find out more. Andisiwe (29) tells us that she was born and bred in the Eastern Cape. Her grandmother raised her because her mother became pregnant when she was very young. “My grandmother took care of me until my mother was done with varsity,” she says. “Then she took me and we moved to Port Elizabeth where I did most of my schooling. “Later, I studied at AFDA (The South African School of Motion Picture Medium and Live Performance)…

SHE HAS been making waves for quite some time, with her 230 000 Instagram followers lapping up every sexy post she uploads. DRUM caught up with sexy Rhythm City actress NTANDO DUMA (20) on her last day as an e.tv Craz-e presenter: she’s definitely entered the adult world with a bang. “Ntando is bubbly, vibrant and very sexy – and she knows it,” she says when we ask her who Ntando is. “I am crazy, I do what I want and I am extremely confident. It also has a lot to do with what works for you. I stick to what I know works for me and I kill it.” The bald actress always pushes the envelope when it comes to her racy persona. She recently trended after she posted…

Idris grew up in a rough area of London called Hackney, the only son of West African immigrants – his mother, Eve, was from Ghana and his father, Winston, from Sierra Leone. “Acting was so far removed from my parents’ worlds – my mom worked in admin and my dad in a local factory – that you wouldn’t have blamed them for laughing me out of the house, but they didn’t. They were supportive and I’ll always respect them for it” Thanks to a grant from a charity set up by Prince Charles in 1976, Idris attended the National Youth Music Theatre in Edinburgh and today he’s an ambassador for the trust. After moving to New York in the late ’90s he struggled to land roles and was basically unemployed…

SADLY, it’s only in Africa where the leader of the country remains in office when there is damning evidence that shows he’s not competent to lead. South Africa is always held as an example of owning a great Constitution. But what is the world to make of us when the Constitutional Court rules against the behaviour of our president, and he fails to do the honourable thing and step down? That’s like spitting in the face of the mother who gave birth to you. Elsewhere in the world, we recently saw the Prime Minister of Iceland (Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson) resign after being accused of concealing millions of dollars of family assets in the so-called “Panama Papers” debacle. Last year, we saw the CEO of Volkswagen USA (Michael Horn) step down over…

‘I take pride in the Constitutional Court ruling and the role I played’ HE WAS as taken aback when EFF leader Julius Malema publically praised him. This unexpected tribute came because he was the man who filed papers for the EFF in the Constitutional Court, to force President Jacob Zuma to implement the Public Protector’s recommendation on Nkandla. Advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi did what many other advocates were reluctant to do. “To be honest, I was surprised,” he 38-year-old legal eagle says. “I was not expecting Malema to sing my praises. Obviously, I take pride in the Constitutional Court ruling and the role I played as an advocate, but it is not something I want to be known for. I was not alone. There were other people involved who played important…

WE’RE about to dash off to his law practice in Tshwane when he calls us to reschedule the appointment. “Sorry but something came up and I’m driving en route to Mpumalanga as we speak,” he says. “It’s an emergency.” Former ANC Youth League (ANCYL) Deputy President, Ronald Lamola (33), assures us we’ll meet after he’s sorted his emergency out. It’s a day after the unprecedented impeachment motion against President Jacob Zuma when we finally track him down at his law practice. We ask him how he feels about the failed attempt and Lamola says he’s disappointed. “It is sad that the ANC won against the Constitution,” he says. “I think the most rational thing would have been for the debate to be postponed till the ANC had aligned its views…

POWERHOUSE is a word that is used to describe this live wire on the airwaves. From being chosen as South Africa’s Public Speaker of the Year and Public Speaker of the World in England in 2003 to working her way up from campus radio and hosting The Prime Adventure show between 12 and 3 pm on Limpopo’s hottest frequency, Capricorn FM, she’s done it all. DRUM speaks to Keneilwe “Kenzy” Mohapi about her broadcasting journey. Who is Kenzy? I see myself as a dynamic young creative. I‘ve worked in different areas of media – from behind the scenes, in front of the camera and behind the mic. I also try and challenge myself to try things that are out of my comfort zone so that I’m forced to grow, basically…

THE STRUCTURED COAT TIP To get Jennifer’s look, make sure your dress is form-fitting underneath your coat and your stockings are nude. THE SLEEVELESS COAT TIP Wear a sleeveless top like Thando for the not-so-cold days, or a polo-neck on chilly days.

What are the best foods to help with concentration and to keep energy levels up? Staying hydrated and balancing your blood-sugar levels is best for both concentration and energy. Judge your level of hydration by the colour of your urine – too dark means you’re drinking too little water and completely transparent urine is a sign of too much water. Aim for a light straw colour. Combine high-fibre food such as fruit and vegetables, nuts and seeds, as well as beans or wholegrains with protein from meat, chicken, dairy, eggs or fish to better balance your blood-glucose levels and avoid energy slumps. Try to eat smaller portions of starch and sugar, which can drain your energy. EASY WAYS TO GET 30 MINUTES’ EXERCISE FOR ADULTS * Walk more – find…

YOLANDA FUMA I cut ties with her. She was always asking for favours and if I couldn’t do them, she would get mad and stop talking to me. The funny thing was she would be the first person to reach out asking for yet another favour. But I never asked her for anything – people can be very selfish. MAMNGUNI FIKILE NCWANE I was her shoulder to cry on, and I realised later that she was just using me. When she has money, she goes missing. But when she’s broke, she’ll knock on my door. I deleted and blocked her from my heart, and that was the end of our friendship. PRETTY NOMLOMO Yes, the kind who needs me when they have emotional baggage to dump. But when I have…

‘I was shocked when Zuma asked me to take up the position’ WITHIN 63 days of holding office she found herself under heavy public scrutiny. She was caught up in the middle of the international media frenzy at Lonmin’s Marikana Mine, where 34 people died and 78 people were injured in August 2012. This was followed by the three-year investigation by the Farlam Commission of Inquiry, which among other things recommended that Mangwashi Victoria Phiyega’s fitness to hold office should be investigated. The 57-year-old National Police Commissioner, better known as Riah, was then suspended*. However, she firmly maintains there is no legitimate reason to blame her for the tragic incident, and has refused to resign. She tells DRUM her competency has been questioned because she is a woman. “When I…

IT’S THAT time of the year again: SA Fashion Week. The opening party, hosted by Cruz Vodka, was held at The VIP Room in Sandton and, boy, did our celebrities rock the event. While vodka and champagne flowed at the red carpet ready­themed evening, we spotted famous faces in ensembles that could rival a Hollywood red­carpet do. Actress NOMZAMO MBATHA looked sensational in a Keys Fashion creation. We also spotted K NAOMI looking like a modern­day princess in her Inga Madyibi design. Also putting her fashionable foot forward was bootylicious actress BUHLE SAMUELS. She was a babe in blue with her mermaid­style frock. Buhle couldn’t get enough of snapping photos and she even managed to pull her Muvhango co­star LESLEY MUSINA and The Real Goboza presenter SINAZO YOLWA into a…

SABC1 soapie Generations: The Legacy has added a couple of new faces to its cast. Fans were excited when word got out that the notorious Jack Mabaso (played by VUSI KUNENE) will return to the soapie. Now, enter his family. Newcomers MNQOBI DUMA and PEARL MONAMA will join the show as Jack’s kids – so can we expect them to follow in his evil footsteps?

Mnqobi will play his son Bafana, while Pearl will take up her role of his daughter Sphe. Mnqobi, a former e.tv Craz-e presenter, has a good record in the…

THE 2016 iHeartRadio Music Awards was recently held at The Forum in Inglewood, California, and the star-studded ceremony brought together some of the best in the music industry. As expected, Hollywood’s finest wore the latest trends from top fashion designers. Here are our picks of who brought their fashion A game. Pants, more specifically pantsuits, was the favoured item among the hot, young and fabulous. Actresses and singers wore the trend in different shades, shapes and details. Leading the pantsuit squad was Think Like a Man star MEAGAN GOOD. She showed off her ample cleavage in a nude wide-legged pantsuit with plunging neckline. Singer JHENÉ AIKO also rocked a deep-V pantsuit, but hers was more bold with Aztec prints. Actresses SELENA GOMEZ, ZENDAYA and KAT GRAHAM all opted to show…

Everybody in the National Executive Committee (NEC) was gunning for his head. Like a noble man, he accepted defeat and honoured the decision taken by the NEC to step down. He said in his resignation speech: “We should not be despondent when it is raining, and we should not be glorious when the sun shines.” As South Africans, we have watched all…

YOU COULD say she’s been to hell and back, with more than her fair share of bad publicity. There was the divorce, allegations that she was dating a married man, and her former helper accused her of beating her up. Then she suffered a stroke and it was said she was broke and had moved back into her parents’ home in Alberton. Now it looks like the storm is over and blue skies are finally returning for actress Sonia Sedibe. Late last year, the 39-year-old small screen star made a comeback playing the role of Thuli Gumede in the e.tv drama, Gold Diggers. This was after a four-year sabbatical from the spotlight. But she’s probably best known for playing her former character Ntombi, in Generations, and now it seems she’s…

HE WORKED as a miner in the North West for about two years and was a loving partner to his girlfriend and a caring father to his children until he lost his job. ‘If you are not working, there are other ways to play a fatherly role’ Lesiba Sibanyoni (33) is experiencing what many men are going through – retrenchment – but says very few are willing to speak about it. “I had a good income and life was beautiful,” he says. “I could afford to look after my family and spoil my children. I also managed to pay rent so we could have a roof over our heads and I bought a car.” Lesiba says he worked long hours, often putting in overtime, so he could make more money,…

‘Masturbation is fine as long as it doesn’t cut into other aspects of your life’ Q MASTURBATION MATTERS I’m a family man in my mid-40s. Your column in the 24 March issue says masturbation is “perfectly normal, healthy and not harmful unless it’s done often”. What is “often”? Do you recommend daily, weekly or monthly? BONGI A Some people masturbate a few times a day, others a few times a week and then you get others that engage in masturbation less often, and it is all normal. Masturbation is fine as long as it doesn’t cut into other aspects of your life. Some men do engage in compulsive masturbation and have a hard time stopping once they get going. That is problematic and men who fall into this category should…

Here are signs to look out for: Your friend constantly acts in a hurtful and inappropriate way. For example, gossiping about you despite you asking them to stop. They belittle you when you share your innermost feelings with them. For example, your friend accuses you of being too emotional when you raise a particular concern with them. Your friend is quick to apologise without really listening or considering what you’re saying, thus preventing them from having to deal with issues properly. They always want favours from you but are slow to do the same and make endless excuses as to why they can’t. They constantly manipulate you to get sympathy. They might say something like: “If you kick me out, I could end up living on the street or go…

‘She makes him happy and has all the qualities he looks for in a woman’ THE CRACKS in their marriage went public when news of his wife’s cheating broke last year. But rapper and Idols SA host Tebogo Thekisho, better known as ProVerb, continued to post happy snaps of himself and his wife, Onalerona, on social media. In fact, he did his best to pour cold water on reports that their marriage was in tatters. And we later discovered that he had maintained the charade for two very important reasons – his children. Eventually, he was forced to confirm on social media that his wife of 10 years had indeed cheated on him. He also later admitted in an interview with DRUM that he was focusing on his two children…
