GROWING up in a family that, in many ways, felt like it “belonged” to South Africa can’t have been easy. Always in the shadow of your famous name; always feeling like you have to share your life and memories with people who you don’t know but know so much about you. Life for Lindiwe Hani was no walk in the park. That much becomes clear in her searing interview on page 10, and the book she recently wrote about her life. Lindiwe opens up about the tragic events that took her father, Chris Hani, from her and the effect it had on the lives of her, her mom and her sisters. It’s heartrending stuff and we were absolutely riveted by everything she had to say. But what struck us most…

FINCH TOBOLO NO I will only start taking beauty pageants (Miss SA to be exact) seriously when the contestants can rock their natural hair. NINO ORLANDO PIRATES BROWN YES I think they are still relevant because it is a dream for young girls to be in the spotlight, especially in the form of a beauty pageant. It will also make them stay away from bad stuff like drugs and alcohol. RAMI LEDWABA-MAHLANGU NO It was all fun and games in the beginning but now it’s gotten to a point where women are subject to look a certain way, which in some cases ends up being demoralising to those who don’t fit the criteria. PRECIOUS NOKUKHANYA AMETHYST NGOBENI YES Yes, in every way. Girls and women who take part in pageants…

SHE was called “two-tone” and “zebra” and bullied mercilessly as a child. For years the mark that spread across the left side of her face defined her life and turned her into a defensive and angry girl. To Kgothatso Dithebe, her birthmark was a curse and she tried everything she could to hide her face from the world. But those days are over. The 22-year-old is now a sought-after model, her face a source of pride and the stand-out feature that sets her apart from the rest of the pack. Beautiful, slim and elegant, she credits Canadian model Winnie Harlow – who has the skin condition vitiligo – for being her main source of inspiration, helping her to embrace her face and teaching her how to love herself for who…

‘It is advisable to use condoms, even if you think your partner is faithful’ QI WANT TO HAVE A BABY I’m a 27-year-old woman from Soweto who recently moved to Nelspruit. In 2010 I lost a baby when I was two months pregnant. I didn’t tell anyone, nor did I consult a doctor or go to the clinic because I didn’t want to disappoint my parents. Since then, I’ve rarely had a period and my last one was in October 2015. I’m married now and I’d like to find out if my condition can be corrected as I am ready to have a baby now. IS, E-MAIL A It is possible to “correct” your condition but you will need to consult your doctor first, so he or she can assess…

SO WHAT’S going on between SOFIA RICHIE (18) and LEWIS HAMILTON (32)? Despite a 14-year age gap, the model daughter of singer Lionel Richie and the Formula One champion appeared to be flirting on Instagram recently, with each one liking the other’s pics. This isn’t the first time they’ve been romantically linked. Back in January they were spotted heading to dinner in Beverly Hills. The two were also seen looking cosy at Paris Fashion Week this year.

KIM KARDASHIAN WEST and hubby KANYE WEST were spotted seeking out some self-help when they attended an Unleash the Power Within seminar by acclaimed life coach Tony Robbins in Los Angeles. The pair – who are still recovering from the trauma of a gunpoint robbery and a mental health breakdown respectively last year – were supported by Kim’s sisters KHLOÉ and KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN as well as half-sister KENDALL JENNER, who was robbed just a few days prior. The trio were seen sharing photos and video clips of themselves getting in the spirit of things on Snapchat. Ever since her terrifying ordeal at the hands of gunmen last year in Paris, Kim admits to struggling with insomnia and flashbacks.…

MOONLIGHT star MAHERSHALA ALI (43) shared the first snap of his baby daughter on Instagram recently – and how cute do father and daughter look? He captioned it simply, “Bari x Abu,” referring to the tot’s name BARI NAJMA ALI. She’s the first child for the Oscar winner and his wife, AMATUS SAMIKARIM and was born four days before her dad made Oscar history. During an interview on the red carpet at the time, he admitted he was a “special kind of tired” before adding, “But it’s amazing, though. I’m very grateful. She was late, but she’s here and healthy and happy.”…

‘I dream about him every night . . . I cry every day’ AS HE lay on his hospital bed, the teenage boy beckoned his mother to come a little closer. “Mom, please continue to fight for me. I don’t belong to this earth any more,” he whispered. A few minutes later, the 14-year-old took his last breath. Siphamandla Choma’s final words have haunted his mother, Christine, since that devastating day. “I haven’t eaten since my child’s death. I only drink ice-cold water,” the 41-year-old tells us when we visit the family’s two-roomed township house in Mpumalanga. Her bloodshot eyes are proof she also hasn’t slept much. She’s still struggling to come to terms with Siphamandla’s death, Christine tells us from her mourning spot on a mattress. Siphamandla had always…

EYEBROWS are a key part of your facial features. They frame your face and balance your eyes, nose and mouth. And the fuller, the better – which is why microblading is taking off in a big way. As the name suggests, there are blades involved. The paper-thin pieces of metal make minute cuts in the skin, which are then filled with pigment to create the illusion of thick brows. Charlie Corkill, a microblade technician at The Urban Beauty Lounge in Cape Town, explains that while permanent make-up colours the entire skin of the brow, microblading mimics the appearance of natural eyebrows. Men and women with any skin tone or hair colour can have the procedure. It’s also an option for people struggling with hair loss or scars. Your treatment should…

ALL THE AWARDS She bagged a Best Youth Role Model award from the South African Flower Union in 2014 after using her reign as Miss Benoni to motivate, inspire and empower young girls in her home town. Recently, she was the youngest person to be nominated for the Best TV Presenter Safta, but lost out to Our Perfect Wedding host Thembisa Mdoda. Nevertheless, hard work pays off! HER HOBBIES You’d never guess what she does when she isn’t filming! “In my spare time, I enjoy catching up on YouTube videos. YouTube is life! It teaches you so much. You can literally search for anything and there will be a tutorial for it.” She also enjoys turning her old clothes into something new and fresh. BILINGUAL BABE The Benoni-born beauty likes…

THEY HAD been bothering him since he was a teenager and as he grew up, he tried everything he could to minimise them. Working out in the gym helped him gain a six-pack and build impressive arm muscles – but he never felt confident enough to wear tight T-shirts that showed off the results of his hard work. No matter how hard he tried, nothing would shift the man boobs he’d been plagued with since puberty – and he decided it was time to do something drastic. Popular house DJ Prince Kaybee (27) went to see a surgeon about reducing the size of his chest and recently went under the knife. He’s delighted with the results and as soon as he’s recovered from the surgery his fans are going to…

BEAUTY, brains, talent and style – there’s no doubt actress NOMZAMO MBATHA’s got it all!

KUDOS to Akani Simbine (I’m going for gold, 23 March) on smashing the national 100-m record. What an inspiration he is to our young sportsmen who look up to him and the likes of Wayde van Niekerk, who has also made South Africa and the continent proud with his feats in the 400 m. South Africans have a proud sporting tradition. Fans love their sport and are always behind their heroes who achieve great feats and put the country on the map. Sadly, with all the scandal involving doping in sport we have to look at any record-breaking achievement with cynicism and hope the athlete in question is clean. Our hearts have been broken numerous times by many of our sporting stars, either on or off the tracks. We will…

IT HAS been almost 20 years since we last saw her on the small screen but as soon as she enters the coffee shop in Joburg’s Killarney Mall, people stop to stare. This face . . . they know this face!

She might be 60 but she looks as fresh and radiant as she did in her forties – the decade she found fame as the host of SABC1’s popular game show Zama Zama. Sporting the same curly crop of hair that became one of her trademarks, the veteran TV star with the unmissable beauty mole is excited that she’ll soon be a regular in millions of Mzansi homes again. She’ll soon take up her role as…

‘Find someone who will give you the attention you are craving‘ Q IS HE TOO OLD? I’m a 23-year-old single woman who has a huge crush on my 42-year-old colleague. I know he likes me too. We’ve gone out on a date and spoke about this spark between us, but we are worried about the 19-year age gap. Should we date even though there’s a chance our families, friends and colleagues will disapprove? WN, E-MAIL A Age is nothing but a number. What matters is how you feel about each other and the compatibility between the two of you. You might find someone your age and not be happy. If he has all the qualities you want in a man and he makes your heart sing, then go for it.…

TUNES YOU NEED ON YOUR PLAYLIST THE WORLD IS YOURS AKA Super Mega’s latest banging tune is taking over radio waves and burning up charts around the country.

Still so sexy CHRISSY TEIGEN (31) seldom conforms to the stereotype of the perfect model. The American model and TV personality who gave birth to a baby girl, Luna, in April 2016, showed fans she’s not going to hide her stretch-marks with filters on Instagram. The Lip Sync Battle co-host may be air-brushed in her photoshoots, but at least she keeps it real with us on her everyday feed. Love! Love yourself at any size SASHA PIETERSE (21) endured a major backlash from social media users about her weight gain. What haters didn’t realise was that she has a hormonal imbalance that causes her to pack on kilos. But the Pretty Little Liars star learnt to distance herself from negative and insulting criticism and developed a thick skin. “People were…

VINCENT van Gogh has been a major influence in the art world for more than a century. The vibrant colours and intense emotions that explode on his canvases conjure up images of his fragile mental state and make a deep impression on the viewer. These are the works of a tortured genius. In his short, tragic life Vincent sold only one painting, but today his works are worth millions. Let’s learn more about this fascinating Dutch artist. EARLY YEARS Vincent was born on 30 March 1853 in Zundert in the Netherlands. His father, Theodorus, was a clergyman and his mother, Anna, the daughter of a book dealer. Vincent was the eldest child and had two brothers and three sisters. Initially he attended the local school but later his parents sent…

The former YoTV presenter has already put his red-carpet skills to work at the South African Film and Television Awards (Saftas) which he covered for E! alongside Bonang Matheba. We caught up with the new E! host. When did you know you wanted to be in the entertainment industry? When I was in…

MARION “SUGE” KNIGHT’s health woes continue as he awaits trial in two robbery and murder cases. The former rap mogul was recently rushed to hospital after suffering from life-threatening blood clots. His fiancée, Toi-Lin Kelly, says she is afraid her 51-year-old boyfriend isn’t receiving proper medical treatment in jail. But according to the LA County Sheriff’s Department, Suge remains in a stable condition. Suge has been hospitalised several times, sometimes immediately after court hearings.
