It’s not assault, she was disciplining the child. She did nothing wrong. SIS AMANDA Why does she not discipline her own children? If she had instilled respect and values in her sons then they would not have been partying up a storm in that hotel and disturbing other people. If you are that strict then start disciplining your own first. XOLS NGONZI Because Grace is a woman and not a man some call it “disciplining the child” but if the young woman had been beaten by a man it would be seen as abuse during Women’s Month. SANDILE VINCENT We were all raised and disciplined if needed, but I don’t have a single scar that comes from “being disciplined”. MBALI XABA Poor Zimbabweans. This is how their money is wasted…

SHE barely leaves her home these days – fearful she might be attacked again and embarrassed that her assault has made her the laughing stock of Mzansi. It’s been nine months since that dreadful day, but the trauma she suffered has resurfaced after a video clip showing a classmate’s vicious attack on her went viral. The video was shared widely soon after deputy higher education minister Mduduzi Manana was accused of assaulting two women in a club, sparking outrage on social media. Khosi Zumba* (17) still bears the scars of the assault she suffered – allegedly at the hands of fellow matric learner Lindokuhle Dube (19). “I keep having flashbacks and I don’t know how to stop them,” she tells DRUM exclusively. “I have a constant headache and I feel…

BRA FIT  TIP Get yourself measured in-store so you know your correct bra size. Your band should be tight enough to fit only two fingers underneath it when fastened on the loosest hooks and it should sit low on your back. Your underwire should sit under and around your breast not on it – no part of your breast should pop out underneath or at the sides. It should fit against your ribcage and the side wire should fit under your arm. The front centre part of your bra should rest against your breastbone. If it isn’t resting against your skin the cup is too small. DEMI CUP  TIP When you wear a half-cup bra make sure it fits properly otherwise your breasts will pop out on top. FULL CUP…

It couldn’t be easier: just the shampoo and a tonic to massage onto the scalp. The Plantur 39 Phyto-Caffeine products for thinning hair and hair loss*. When estrogen levels decrease during menopause, women may experience hair problems. This change can have unexpected side effects: thin hair and hair loss* are often the consequence. German scientists have developed a substance that protects hair from hormone-induced exhaustion: a Phyto-Caffeine Complex, incorporated into a unique shampoo and a tonic for daily scalp care. Dr. A. Klenk, Head of Dr. Wolff Research says: “Conventional shampoos, no matter how expensive, cannot cope with these consequences of menopause.” Importantly, these products work without hormone replacements. *without a result of a medical condition Plantur 39 for hair over the age of 40…

Short-term insurers have products they call cover extensions that pay out in case of anything from your death to your cat getting hit by a car. Cover extension only pays out basic amounts and might not cover the entire cost of an incident, but it can be a great help when you need it. The following cover extensions are commonly found in a policy if the content of your home is covered for fire or theft. The extent of the cover, payouts and the costs depend on who you’re insured with and on the kind of policy you have. Everyone’s policy is different because everyone’s risk is different. Check your policy to see exactly what is covered. 1 TRAUMA The policyholder and their family will be covered for trauma counselling…

HIS violent assault on RIHANNA in 2009 was one of Hollywood’s most notorious abuse incidents of the 21st century. Images of the singer’s battered face circulated around the world and CHRIS BROWN, whose star was rising, was convicted of assault. The Privacy singer – who up to now has rarely spoken of the assault and has since been embroiled in many other cases involving brawls and beatings – says he felt “like a f***ing monster” after he battered RiRI. “She’s spitting blood in my face, it raised me even more,” he says in a trailer for a new documentary about his life, Chris Brown: Welcome to My Life. He says he considered killing himself in the aftermath of the brutal attack. “I went from being on top of the world…

ALMOST 35 years after its premiere, MICHAEL JACKSON’s Thriller music video is making a comeback – in 3D. The late king of pop’s estate says the “latest available technology” was used to convert the 14-minute short film from an original 35-mm negative to 3D and director John Landis says he was able to “use the 3D creatively” and promises “a rather shocking surprise”. He added that the film hasn’t been re-edited or changed since it made its debut in cinemas and on TV in 1983. Thriller screened with a new documentary detailing the making of the video at the 74th Venice International Film Festival recently. The superstar died in 2009, at the age of 50.

SHE’S proof that no matter what life throws your way, you can get over it and move forward. No matter how much you’re hurt – even if it’s in a public way – you can use that heartache to help others survive similar humiliation. Ntombezinhle Jiyane (33), aka DJ Zinhle to her multitude of fans, has endured more than her fair share of pain – but she’s using it to her advantage and that of other women who need it. Every experience she’s gone through in recent years allowed her to empower women who are going through similar situations, she believes. Fans will, of course, recall how she was at the heart of a cheating scandal when her rapper boyfriend AKA cheated on her while she was pregnant (It’s finally…

SHE’S been rejected and vilified by fellow party members, she and her kids have received death threats and she may be expelled from the party she served for decades. Yet Makhosi Khoza won’t back down. Her open support of the recent vote of no confidence in Jacob Zuma’s presidency made headlines and was followed soon afterwards by her being fired as chairwoman of parliament’s public service and administration portfolio committee. Khoza (46) is the woman everyone is talking about now – yet no matter how much you read about her, nothing prepares you for meeting her in person. Sipping a fruit smoothie (me and these things, she says) in the sun in Cape Town’s Dunkley Square, she practically glows with energy and laughs often. No one watching – and all…

THE beautiful baby girl coos and gurgles at the camera as she’s bounced on her mother’s knee. She’s just celebrated her first birthday – a day her parents didn’t think they’d see. Looking at her now, there’s nothing to indicate just how lucky Alaine Muza is to be alive. Her eyes sparkle and she’s the picture of health. The only visible sign of her traumatic first year can be seen under her clothes – a long scar that runs down her chest. Alaine experienced problems soon after her birth and was later diagnosed with a condition called Tetralogy of Fallot – a rare and serious heart condition that results in too little blood going to the lungs. “She’s very happy now,” relieved mom Abigail says. “The hospital is great. The…

1 With most offices going green and paperless, binder clips are becoming obsolete. But don’t discard all those old clips just yet – turns out they can be quite handy to have around after all. Place binder clips on the edge of a desk to hold USB, cellphone charger and other cables. Pull the cords through the metal part to keep them tangle-free. Or use them to keep your earphones tidy. 2 Before you throw away a used sticky note, run the sticky end between the keys on your keyboard to collect crumbs and fluff. 3 Use an old bread tag to hold your spot on a roll of sticky tape. 4 Keep forgetting to sip from your water bottle?

He’s been looking after his younger sister since their mom died and hopes they can get out of the hard life they’ve been living. On the surface Sleight is an engaging, familiar coming-of-age drama until it reveals its hand – it’s also a comic book-inspired superhero origin story. Musician-turned-actor Jacob Latimore – who also stars in Detroit, which is currently in cinemas – is a star in the making. At just 21 he hasn’t had many acting credits to his name but he delivers like a veteran – bringing a relatable humanity to his character.

PUT the words “Tiger” and “golf” in the same sentence and chances are you’ll think of former golfing great Tiger Woods who toppled from glory following high-profile personal scandals. But this Tiger isn’t a wounded beast – he’s clawing his way to the top of the caddie pile. Born Malwane Lekhulene, and dubbed Tiger by the professional players he works with, the Joburg-based caddie was recently handpicked by world renowned golfer Nick Price to be the caddie captain at the Presidents Cup tournament in New Jersey, USA. “I couldn’t believe it when I received a SMS from Nick. I tried to call him back but the reception wasn’t good,” Tiger tells us. The unlikely pair go way back. In 1977 Durban-born Nick practised at Randpark Golf Club, where Tiger worked…

Ntando Mahlangu made the nation proud after he set a new world record in the T42 (amputees) 100m event at the recent 2017 World Para Athletics Junior Championships in Nottwil, Switzerland. “Being the world record holder is great. I get compliments from many people who say they are proud me,” Mpumalangaborn Ntando tells us. “It feels good being a normal 15-year-old and knowing I’m making my family and other people proud,” says the double amputee, who bagged another gold medal in the 200m race…

Thank you for simply making me Happy . . . You are & will forever be my ‘Rib’. . . 1 year down…

THE article “Mzansi’s wonder women” (17 August) is interesting and inspiring. It’s difficult to guide today’s teenagers, so it was good to see Sophie Ndaba, Brenda Mhlongo, Lindiwe Hani, and many other women of integrity, influencing their kids in positive ways. Women like Tumi Morake are proof you can have kids and still hustle your way to success. Although there are women who’ve made their presences felt in previously male-dominated fields, there’s still a huge gap to close. All women have the potential. The difference between those who succeed and those who don’t is how the individual’s talent is nurtured. Let all women take a leaf out of Mzansi’s wonder women’s lives, and improve their own lives. If South Africa is to develop further it needs more women who are…

‘I gave him the runaround for a while but here we are’ SHE pulls up in her white-and-maroon Range Rover Evoque and turns heads as she steps out – all long braids, curvy figure and beautiful white smile. Then there’s that rock on her finger – the possession she’s proudest of right now. Thando Thabethe – or Thabooty as she’s aptly nicknamed thanks to her bootylicious body – is having quite a year. And the fact the love of her life has just put a ring on it is the cherry on top. Her fiancé, businessman Frans Mashao, designed the diamond stunner himself. The two had been dating for more than four years before he popped the question and the 27-year-old actress and radio presenter hasn’t been shy about sharing…

THEIRS was a romance fairytales are made of. She was an accounts manager who never imagined she’d catch the eye of a TV star and he was a hunk recovering from a failed marriage. Yet when Zozibini Mtongana hired Tumisho Masha to do a radio campaign for her, the popular actor forgot all about his broken heart and fell head over heels in love. A year after meeting the pair wed in an intimate ceremony attended by family and friends. “Not being together is not an option,” the former Top Billing presenter confidently told the media at the time. Seven years later, the fairytale has come to an end. Zozibini (33) filed charges of assault against Tumisho (42), while the former Isibaya star is flaunting his new relationship on social…

THUMBS UP! It’s easier to get by without a big toe than without a thumb – that’s what 20-year-old Zac Mitchell (LEFT) decided after his severed thumb couldn’t be reattached after an accident. The Australian cattle worker lost his thumb when a bull kicked his hand against a fence. After two unsuccessful operations to reattach it doctors came up with the idea of transplanting his big toe to his hand. It took some time to convince Zac, but he was eventually persuaded that his remaining four fingers were less efficient without something to squeeze or pinch against. The surgery lasted eight hours and Zac has months of rehab ahead before he can return to farm work. Zac says the loss of his toe hasn’t affected his ability to walk. “I…

We have three sons together and I’ve had two miscarriages in between. He used to leave me alone in the house and go on drinking sprees with various girlfriends. Many of them have since died from Aids, but he’s survived because he’s on ARVs. Thank God I’m clean but my feelings for this man died long ago and now all I have is pity. We live in my house and although I don’t want him here, he’ll have nowhere to go if I chase him away. What should I do? FED UP, EMAIL AI have to wonder why you feel obliged…

A-Z OF AMAZING SOUTH AFRICAN WOMEN BY AMBRE NICOLSON AND JAXON HSU (MODJAJI BOOKS) This book pays tribute to all the trailblazing women who’ve helped shape SA’s past, present and future. All the obvious choices are there such as Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, Thuli Madonsela, Fatima Meer and Cissie Gool. But there are also others whose history might not be all that familiar to readers – such as Buyisiwe Sondezi who in 2014 became the first woman in Africa to receive a doctorate in experimental physics and Glenda Kemp who got everyone worked up in the 1970s with her suggestive striptease dance featuring a snake named Oupa. Each woman’s life story is told in the space of a page, concisely explaining their background and what they did to shake things up. With…

BOK VICTORY SEEMS there’s no slowing them down as South Africa stretched their winning spree to four tests by defeating Argentina 37-15 in The Rugby Championship. While the Springboks started off strong it was not enough to show on the scoreboard in the first half. They had to wait until the 11th minute to put the first points on the board when Elton Jantjies nailed a penalty from 40 metres out. The Boks faced off against Argentina at a packed Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in PE where more than 42 000 fans had come to see their heroes. The loudest cheer came when SIYA KOLISI, born and bred in the city, put the Boks in a 28-15 lead after 65 minutes. It was also a moment to savour for fellow…

ALL-ROUND badass and cool dude SAMUEL L JACKSON recently unveiled a new talent – he’s a pretty good singer-songwriter! The 68-year-old’s song, Nobody Gets Out Alive, is featured in his latest movie, The Hitman’s Bodyguard. The flick’s soundtrack composer, Atli Örvarsson, explains that Samuel and co-star RYAN REYNOLDS “were sitting in his car talking and he just kind of breaks out into song. I think it was more or less improvised on the set”. Atli and Samuel began working on the song, sending ideas back and forth, as the composer travelled the world recording different segments of the score in London and New York. The track is unmistakably Samuel – a bluesy gospel-style song that opens with the lyrics, “Life is a highway and it’s mighty f****ing long (mighty f****ing…

‘Marriage requires a different way of being in this world’ OPRAH WINFREY “LIVE life on your own terms” – that’s OPRAH WINFREY’s mantra when it comes to her happiness. The multimedia mogul recently revealed in Vogue magazine that she’s learnt a lot over the years and has no regrets about not marrying her long-time partner, STEDMAN GRAHAM (66). They’ve been together for more than three decades, and only discussed marriage once. “The only time I brought it up was when I said to Stedman, ‘What would have happened if we had actually gotten married?’ And the answer is: we wouldn’t be together.“ The 63-year-old explains that Stedman’s “interpretation of what it means to be a husband and what it would mean for me to be a wife would have been…
