Jo-Ann Strauss ESTABLISHED BUSINESSWOMAN “I’m always trying to squeeze more than the supposedly possible amount of work into my 24 hours and I value any time that can be saved. I love that I can bake quiches, for example, in record time in my Hotblast microwave.

BLAST FROM THE PAST SKETCHY BONGO FT SHEKHINAH OK, Shekhinah, could you please release a debut album already? The Durban singer-songwriter’s latest collab with producer-of-the-moment Sketchy Bongo has been out for a while but it would be criminal not to have it on your playlist, especially if you’re a fan of both artists.

It’s not their first collaboration – they also worked together on the award-winning hit Let You Know. YOUR SONG RITA ORA She’s back!

NOT TO BE MISSED It’s the Fifa Soccer World Cup final and Thabo makes his way to his seat in the VIP section. He sits down and notices the seat next to him is empty. He leans over and asks his neighbour if someone is sitting there. “No, the seat’s empty,” the neighbour replies. “What? Who in their right mind would have a seat for this game and not use it?” Thabo exclaims. “Well, the seat is my wife’s but she passed away so this is the first final we haven’t been to together,” the guy says. “I’m sorry to hear that,” Thabo says. “Wasn’t there anyone else, a friend or relative, who could’ve joined you?” “No, they’re all at the funeral . . .” the guy replies. THE MATRIC…

CLAIM TO FAME: Laura is best known for her role as Destiny Evans in the brief 2013 remake of the soap One Life to Live. Apart from acting, she also models. BEAUTY SECRET: The dark-haired beauty travels to Paris twice a year to treat her locks to a keratin treatment and recently told Vogue she and her French hairdresser don’t talk much when she goes. “I don’t know anything about [the treatment] because she doesn’t speak English and I don’t speak French!” SAY WHAT? She claims she never had her sights set on Hollywood. “I was always interested in acting, but I never thought it was…

‘All the scars on my body and face are from the gang fights’ IF EVER there was a case of art imitating life, it’s this guy right here. His experience as a township tsotsi as a youth navigating the gang-infested streets of KwaThema have made him a natural when it comes to playing one of the worst villains SA TV has ever seen. “I was bad growing up,” says Masoja Msiza, who plays the hard-as-nails character Nkunzi on SABC1’s hit show Uzalo. “Gangsterism was big and you had to be in a gang to survive – there was a gang on just about every street in my township.” There were few positive role models for Masoja (52) and his friends in the East Rand township, so they found themselves looking…

THE subject of abuse against women is something close to our hearts. We all know someone – whether friends, family, colleagues or acquaintances – who have felt the effects of abuse in some form or another. That’s why we have focused on this issue in this edition of DRUM. We look at how it’s being portrayed on the small screen in Isidingo and we look at the instances of alleged abuse among some of our country’s most famous faces (page 8). We also offer advice and guidance on where to get help if you find yourself in such a situation (see page 11). And we’ve listened to the feedback we received on our recent story on Arthur Mafokate. We’ve heard those who said it was insensitive and it looked as…

HE ISN’T one to do things by halves, so it stands to reason the newest addition to his family will have only the best – and that means Hugo Boss feeding bottles, top-of-the-range luxury strollers and a designer wardrobe to rival the threads worn by the offspring of the hottest Hollywood celebrities. But Kenny Kunene will have you know his over-the-top lifestyle of sushi parties and near-naked models is a thing of the past. He’s too busy singing lullabies and mastering nappy duty – and he’s loving every minute of it. It seems flashy, controversial and opinionated Kenny (46) has officially been tamed – and by a two-month-old baby boy, no less. The So What: Big Money, Big Dreams reality-TV star and his new wife, Nonkululeko Whitney Mhlanga (22), welcomed…

HE WAS once the poster boy for Afro-pop music in South Africa. Everything he touched turned to platinum and he raked in awards like nobody’s business. Fans were falling at his feet in adoration and he lapped it up. The dreadlocked star had it all. Until everything went horribly wrong. Crooner Ntando Bangani hit rock bottom – bad career choices, insolvency, the death of his best friend and the loss of his dream home and his fiancée all came crashing down on him. But the 36-year-old velvet-voiced muso wants everyone to know he’s back – and he intends to claw his way to the top of the Mzansi music scene again. DRUM caught up with the singer at Muthaland Records where he has signed a marketing deal for his upcoming…

‘Cut all ties with these boys and focus on yourself first’ Q MY MAN BORES ME I’ve been in a relationship for just over a year. I like my partner very much, but I’m confused because there are times when I don’t feel like having sex and he gets angry. I’ve tried to make him understand that it has nothing to do with him. When we’re together we never go out or do anything – we just stay at home. When I suggest we go to a movie or something, he won’t listen. I’m getting bored of our routine. I like him and I think he likes me, but I’m not sure if this is a good relationship to be in. CONFUSED, E-MAIL A Relationships are about meeting each other…

BIG BREAK Close family members Quavo, Offset and Takeoff make up hip-hop’s hottest property, Migos. They’ve been around since 2009 but got their break after Drake remixed their 2013 hit song, Versace. Now, their latest album Culture is topping charts worldwide and everyone from Katy Perry to Calvin Harris is lining up to collaborate with them. OFFSET Thanks to some run-ins with the law, Kiari Cephus (25) missed some of the group’s key moments on their rise to stardom but Offset’s establishing himself as the next household name from Migos. He’s literally got an Offset chain and usually rocks at least one Culture chain but his trademark neckpiece is the Rain Drop, inspired by the lyrics to their #1 single, Bad and Boujee.

HE HAD no acting experience when he signed up for what was always going to be a colossal task: portraying one of the most controversial and revolutionary rappers the world has ever seen. People had constantly remarked on Demetrius Shipp Jnr’s almost spooky resemblance to Tupac Shakur so he took a chance and auditioned for the coveted role. His gamble paid off – All Eyez on Me, the long-awaited film charting Tupac’s meteoric rise to superstardom, caused a buzz at the box office when it hit American cinemas on 16 June, Tupac’s birthday. The newcomer’s performance as the iconic rapper has received glowing reviews from critics and fans alike, with Tupac’s friend and West Coast rapping legend Snoop Dogg offering his seal of approval. The 28-year-old Californian is still reeling…

Q How do unit trusts work? A group of investors’ money is put into a unit trust or collective investment scheme that is in turn invested in equities, cash, securities and listed property. The money you invest buys you shares in the unit trust. As a small-scale investor you get the chance to invest in a wider variety of asset classes than you’d be able to on your own, says Janet Hugo of Sterling Private Clients. In SA in the 12 months leading up to March 2017 about R157,1 billion was invested this way. Q What are bonds and listed property? Bonds are called debt investments as the investor lends money to an institution such as a corporate or the government. The funds are borrowed and paid back after a…

TURNING HEADS FROM bright pink bob to sleek cornrows, Afro-pop singer Nhlanhla Nciza knows how to keep her look edgy. The Mafikizolo star never seems to have a bad hair day – not even in winter when many of us struggle with a lack of moisture and hair breakage. Her hair is a big part of her identity, Nhlanhla tells us. “Every time I want to re-invent my image, I start with my hair.” She says the shape of her face plays a big role when choosing her hairstyles. “I have an oval face, so not every hairstyle suits me. For example, up-buns don’t suit me but short hair works well. “Choose a hairstyle that blends well with your image and face,” the singer advises. We take a look at…
