AS WE face socio­political challenges in South Africa, we are also grappling with the reality of moral degeneration that seems to have been accepted as a part of life. Prime examples are the old, wealthy men who seek out young girls for sex, and in exchange, give them money to buy expensive shoes and weaves. These men even register their details on an app called Blesser Finder (or on Facebook pages like BlesserFinder Mzansi), which has been created with the sole purpose of helping young girls and old men “find” each other. The men hope to catch a young girl who’s more than ready to satisfy them sexually. Despite the fact that they have wives and children, they don’t see anything funny about spending their hard­earned money on young girls.…

RASI PHUMEZO “He almost killed me” Mshoza, learn to love yourself before you can start looking for love. It’s called self­happiness.

‘She’s been in the hospital for a couple of days’ REGARDLESS of how powerful and famous you are, you’re never immune from health problems. No one knows this better than businesswoman and former Miss South Africa, Basetsana Kumalo, who’s had her share of misfortune. In March this year, it was reported she had been hospitalised after falling at her son’s school, which resulted in her pulling out of the judging panel of the Miss South Africa pageant. A statement released by the organisers at the time reads in part: “Miss South Africa regrets to announce that Basetsana Kumalo, one of the judges for this year’s Miss South Africa pageant, had an unfortunate accident at her son’s school after watching him perform in a concert.” It turned out Basetsana had fractured…

HER SMILE lights up the room. But behind that beautiful beam, Umhlobo Wenene’s loveable and energetic presenter is nursing heartache. Last year Zintle Mbusi, aka DJ Babe­Zee, told DRUM she was planning to marry her beau, Sibabalwe Timakwe, (Umhlobo’s zesty Zee, 17 December 2015). “I’m in a very serious relationship with a man who treats me like a princess. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner. Wedding bells will be ringing soon,” she said at the time. However, DRUM can exclusively reveal that the engagement has been called off, with claims of cheating on both sides. A source close to the couple says it was the Mthatha­based deejay, who hosts the popular Zintle Zoyi10 and Abahlali Abangalali shows, who was first caught by Sibabalwe cheating with a top Mthatha…

‘It’s best to minimise the chances of mother-to-child HIV transmission with a C-section’ CONTRACEPTIVE SIDE EFFECTS Q I inserted a loop contraceptive last September. Now after my periods, I have strong pains in my womb, which also affect my left leg on the side the loop was inserted. Sometimes I have a smelly vagina, especially when I am in pain. I also have a wet, white-and-brownish discharge. What is wrong? ZAMA, E-MAIL A If your discomfort outweighs the benefits of the loop or intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD), I strongly advise you to have it removed as soon as possible. It’s a foreign object in your body and infections are commonly documented as side effects. Any offensive, coloured vaginal discharge is a sign of an infection until proven otherwise, and the…

I IT’S ALWAYS nice to see an aspiring singer take criticism and use it constructively. And with his new single, Idols SA’s season 11 fourth runner-up SIPHELELE NGCOBO has done just that. The judges told the singer that he articulates the South African music genre well and he should stick to it. Now Inanda-born Siphelele is focussing on producing Afro-pop music to promote South African tunes. Siphelele has released his début single, Nandi, which he says tells a very important story about a woman he’d love to have in his life. The 25-year-old says the song is dedicated to a certain woman whom he hasn’t met yet. “This is a love song, and I want my ‘Nandi’ to know wherever she is I am looking for her,” he laughs. Besides…

IN SIMILAR fashion to Michael Jackson’s 2009 death, the main suspect in PRINCE’s sudden passing is his doctor. Dr Michael Schulenberg is named in a search warrant as the person who visited Prince twice in the weeks before his 21 April death. While the doctor isn’t being accused of Prince’s death, their relationship is being scrutinised because no valid prescription for prescription painkillers was found in Prince’s name, yet the eccentric singer was found with opiates at the time of his death. It’s rumoured that the pint-sized muso was using “drug runners” instead of doctors for his alleged painkiller addiction. Due to religious reasons, he apparently refused medical treatment for a hip condition, resorting instead to painkillers.…

‘We’re both just focused on our individual lives right now and sometimes things don’t work out butI love her’ things ’ . , you , IBut sources say the real reason for the split is the 26-rapper’s roving eye. Just six months ago the couple also broke after reports emerged that Tyga had been messaging 14-MOLLY O’ MALIA. He’s also been linked to transvestite and film star Mia Isabella, who he’s been sexting.If Tyga and Kylie were still an item, she’d be his son’s figure and aunty because Tyga’s ex and baby mama, CHYNA, is expecting her brother Rob’s Kardashian’s baby KYLIE JENNER has barely had time to digest her break up yet her ex is already hitting the town on dates!

DON’T BE surprised if you bump into hunky British actor IDRIS ELBA. The Luther star is in Mzansi to film more scenes for the movie The Dark Tower, which is based on a series of novels by Stephen King. But don’t think you’re in with a chance, ladies. The 43-year-old Jungle Book star is back with his long-time love and baby mama, NAIYANA GARTH (28). The couple split briefly last year, and surprised us when they hit the Baftas red carpet together earlier this month. Idris’ love for SA is well-known, but he didn’t bring his gorgeous lady-love and two-year-old son Winston with him to Cape Town.…

It really saddened me as I watched Checkpoint recently and saw how our young future leaders have sold their souls to the devil just because of money. Yes, they might bless you now but what will happen 10 years down the line when you don’t have the qualities they need from you? Our country should stand up and save our youth from these monsters called “blessers”. Money without dignity is nothing. TEBOGO MATHE, E-MAIL BURNING THEIR FUTURE Burning schools is increasingly becoming a disgusting habit. Most South Africans think Government will address their issues fast only when they burn government buildings. Know that by burning government premises you’re not just hurting Government, you’re hurting your community, too. Before burning schools, have you thought of your friend who is a teacher,…

KARABO GOPANO YES I think it’s a good idea, because locally we’ll end up supporting each other. If there are people from other countries here and they hear our local music, they might just end up liking it and taking our music with them and spreading the names of our artists to their countries. KATLEGO BOPAPE YES AND NO It’s a bit of both, both good and bad. The fact that we’re playing more local music is a good move and I’m all for that, but the bad side is that, if we’re playing 90 % local music, how is the quality? What are we subjecting the audience to? Because if I don’t like what’s on radio then I can just go to the internet. NLHANHLA MHOLI YES I’m not…

AFTER an ankle injury kept him off the field for six months, Orlando Pirates’ Oupa Manyisa (27) was given the all-clear to start full training again in April. His team might not have bagged the Absa Premier Soccer League (PSL) title this season, but his career seems to be shaping up quite nicely. However, the same cannot be said for his personal life, which has been making the news for all the wrong reasons for a while now. Rumours concerning his rocky marriage have been rife, with reports of dark secrets and infidelity. Many have wondered if the relatively young marriage of Oupa and his wife of two years, Johanna Louw, could survive the claims. Apparently not, it seems. DRUM has learnt that Oupa and Johanna are separated, and that…

‘All my strength was gone and I couldn’t pray, so I sang’ SHE GREW up singing along to Omo adverts and doing performances for other kids in the neighbourhood, charging them between five and 50 cents for the privilege of hearing her sing. “I used to imagine myself doing live shows,” she says. “And just look at me now!” Aspiring singer Thembeka Mnguni has just made The Voice SA’s Top 8 after being put through by her coach, Karen Zoid, and she’s ecstatic about how far she’s come. “It hasn’t been easy, especially listening to another person rehearsing and thinking, ‘Gosh, they’re so good.’ But I reminded myself that I’m also good. I’ve learnt that I need to concentrate on me and my journey and stay in my lane.” Trying…

NAME: SINOVUYO MTHETHI (25) OCCUPATION: CASHIER FROM: CAPE TOWN SINOVUYO’S STORY “I was born without the fashion gene. I get instantly overwhelmed when I walk into a shopping mall, so I make online purchases (that never fit), or I end up buying random items that I can’t figure out how to wear.” HER REACTION “A friend introduced me to the DRUM fashion team, and they really helped me with my style. They showed me how to dress and match colours and I’m really looking forward to how I’m going to implement this for myself.” LUNCH LOOK A sleeveless jacket is versatile and not so warm, so you don’t have to take it off indoors.

MANY of us know what it feels like to grow up without the latest toys or gadgets, fancy holidays or lots of money in our pockets. So it’s natural that we want better opportunities for our children. There’s nothing wrong with helping our kids out if we can, but when our offspring start acting like the world revolves around them, become demanding, won’t lift a finger to help themselves or “forget” to say thank you, alarm bells should go off. As parents in this situation, we need to re­examine our choices that have led them to a sense of entitlement. This self­examination is important because there is a danger of trying to make life too easy for your child, warns Sam Leader, an Educational Psychologist at Family Life Centre’s Youth…

A VIEW FROM THE TOP With smash hits like Started from the Bottom, Hold On, We’re Going Home and Hotline Bling, it’s hard to imagine that the 29-year-old Grammy Award-winning rapper has never scored a number one song as a lead artist. But that’s all changed with his latest offering, Views from the Top: his single One Dance has beaten Beyoncé’s Lemonade to take the top spot on Billboard’s Top 100 list. CELEBRATING IN STYLE Drake also made Hot 100 history by setting the record for most songs concurrently on the chart: a whopping 20 tracks! So how did he celebrate? “No accolades really matter to me other than the fact that I have never had a Billboard number one,” he said. “It will be the biggest moment of my…

OUTSPOKEN rapper AZEALIA BANKS is at it again, and this time ZAYN MALIK is her target. She launched a foulmouthed Twitter attack on the former One Direction member recently, accusing him of stealing her style for his new music video, Like I Would. Initially, the 23-year-old hottie didn’t engage with Azealia, but that set her off more. She went on to call the Muslim English-born singer of Pakistani descendant a “fa*got”, “p*ki”[a derogatory term to describe Pakistanis],“refugee” and “sand n**ger”. The troubled rapper was set to headline a show in England soon, but event organisers cancelled her performance after English fans protested over her slew of insults about English people. She’s since apologised, but it’s a little too late!…

SHE MIGHT be a loudmouth reality television star but NENE LEAKES is one smoking-hot mama! As the weather heats up in America for their summer, the original Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member set pulses racing when she shared photos of her in various swimsuits and bikinis. Asked what her slim-down secret is, NeNe revealed: “My biggest problem has always been and will always be that I work all day and forget to eat and then I eat late at night with some cocktails. I’ve been trying to be good and eat something small for breakfast to kick-start my metabolism and I’m eating smaller dinners earlier in the evening.” It’s working, girl!…

IT’S THAT time of the year again when the rich, famous and fabulous descend on the French Riviera for one of the world’s most prestigious events, the 69th annual Cannes Film Festival.

She sparkled an in Elie Saab Haute Couture creation at the premiere of French movie, Le Bon Gros Géant (The BFGG).

IT’S NOT A BLESSING BUT A CURSE! PEOPLE all over the country are talking about the social ill where young women find older men to give them financial “blessings”. To no one’s surprise, it didn’t take long for someone to see the phenomena as a business opportunity and come up with an app to bring “blesser” and “blessee” together (A Blessing or a Curse? 19 May). First of all, let’s call it what it is – prostitution – and not try and make it acceptable with a fancy name. The fact that more young women feel it’s their only hope to get what they want shows that poverty and lack of employment and resources contribute to this social ill. Now, the Minister of Health is introducing a three­year programme to…

‘The past few years Gauteng has been doing things their own way WHILE the African National Congress (ANC) in Gauteng has dismissed reports that the party is losing its grip on the province, signs of a rift continue to show. On 15 May, the Sunday Times reported that an internal ANC report shows the party has lost significant backing in the province – with support plummeting from 53.4 % to 37 %. The alarming percentage reportedly came from an internal research department of the organisation. However, Dr Somadoda Fikeni, a political analyst and academic, says while the reports might possibly be true, they cannot be entirely trusted. “The problem with the leadership crisis especially around the matters affecting the ANC and President Jacob Zuma can impact on the ANC’s performance…

MANY women avoid wearing foundation because they feel it doesn’t suit their skin, or that it’s never the right shade. Some even buy what they think is their perfect shade, only to find that it’s not the right fit when they get home. If you’re new to foundation, here’s what you need to know about finding your colour. Remember, any base is supposed to feel light and look natural. TAKE A SAMPLE Test the foundation you like, and not just at the beauty counter. Ask for a sample so you can try it out at home before you buy. Take samples from different brands. Different foundations cater for different skin types, for example oily, dry, mature and pigmented skin. Someone with oily skin needs an oil-free foundation, whereas someone with…
