HAPPINESS & BLESSINGS EASTER is such a special time. A time for family, for giving thanks, for finding our spirituality and faith restored. Yes, there’s also plenty of chocolate but this is a time when you head home to your nearest and dearest to get that much-needed rest and rejuvenation that will help take you through the rest of the year. We hope your journeys – whether short or long – will be safe and that you’ll find the blessings you seek at the other end of the trip. Hopefully you’ll have plenty of time to spend with our new puzzles magazine too. It recently hit the shelves and the compliments have already been flooding in from people who’ve spent hours on it! If you can’t find a copy in…

SAY Moya Wami and you can almost see Rebecca Malope with her trademark haircut sitting on the floor performing her heart out. And mention the title Lion of Judah and an image of Lebo Sekgobela bringing worshippers to tears springs to mind. The two women are both formidable gospel powerhouses who have gone through plenty of pain to find lasting grace and a following of hundreds of thousands of fans. They need little introduction: Sis Ribs (49) is a veteran of the industry, a pint-sized legend with over 35 albums to her name. Lebo (37) is a rising star with three albums behind her and a burning desire to follow in the queen of gospel’s footsteps. And here we are, having tea with the pair and listening in as they…

HAVE you ever bought something on credit – such as a television, car, cellphone or furniture – and then discovered you can no longer afford the instalments? Consumers have the right to return such goods to the credit provider, who can then resell them to recoup the money owed on them. It’s called voluntary surrender and isn’t the same as repossession because you made the choice to return the goods. WHEN CAN YOU DO IT? You can only do this if you have an instalment payment agreement with the seller. Such an agreement means that while you’re paying instalments on the item you have the right to use and have the product in your possession, but you only really become the owner once it’s been paid for in full. It…

David Oyelowo is best known for serious roles – he played Martin Luther King Jr in Selma and starred in true-life dramas A United Kingdom and Queen of Katwe – but he relished the chance to unleash his “goofy” side in action-comedy Gringo. “I’ve played all these roles that are fairly quote-unquote important,” the classically trained British actor says. “The goofy side of me had always been reserved for my kids and my friends so Gringo was a great opportunity to express that.” In the film, which also stars local exports Charlize Theron and Sharlto Copley, David plays mild-mannered American businessman Harold Soyinka who’s kidnapped on a work trip to Mexico and finds himself at the mercy of backstabbing colleagues, druglords and an oddball mercenary. It was David’s idea to…

BEAN THERE A teacher asks her learners to use the word “beans” in a sentence. “My father grows beans,” one says. “My mother cooks beans,” says another. Then little Johnny puts up his hand. “Yes, Johnny?” the teacher says. “We’re all human beans.” SPELL IT OUT A couple is driving through Louisiana in America. As they approach the town of Natchitoches they start arguing about how to pronounce the name. They argue all the way into the town, where they decide to stop for lunch at a fast-food joint. As they order their food the husband asks the assistant behind the counter, “Could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are, very slowly?” The assistant leans over the counter and says, very slowly, “B-u-r-g-e-r…

FOR a long time she didn’t know what she wanted to be when she grew up. Quiet, soft-spoken and a little antisocial, she never imagined she’d one day grace TV screens across South Africa. Not only that, she’s playing someone who’s the polar opposite of her – a loud and nosy tavern owner on 1Magic’s new telenovela The River. Playing opposite her are some of the biggest names in South African entertainment: Hlomla Dandala, Presley Chweneyagae and Sindi Dlathu. Not bad for someone who once regarded herself as a bit of a shrinking violet. Tango Ncetezo joined the popular show in January and has been a firm viewer favourite from the word go. She loves playing Paulina, she says, and getting to grips with someone so different to her. “Paulina…

HE ENDED his stellar career on a high note – yet instead of enjoying the fruits of his labour, soccer star Xabi Alonso is facing jail time. Before hanging up his boots last year after 17 years as a professional footballer, Alonso helped German club Bayern Munich win their third successive Bundesliga title. “I wanted to end my career still at the highest level, and Bayern is the highest level,” he said at the time. Having played for Bayern, Spanish superclub Real Madrid and English Premier League giant Liverpool, the 36-year-old midfielder boasts one of the finest careers of modern-day soccer players. But his glittering career is being overshadowed by his legal woes: Alonso is accused of defrauding Spanish authorities of over €2 million (R29 million) in unpaid tax. “The…

ACTRESS ENHLE MBALI MAPHUMULO has kicked off her thirties with a bang, celebrating each decade of her fabulous life with an equally fabulous party. “I wanted a three-day celebration, as three is a number that follows me – I was born on the third day of the third month and my mom says I was born at three o’clock,” she tells us. “I wanted to embrace the universe and my lucky number by having three major celebrations.” The mom and businesswoman started her festivities with a pampered weekend away by herself so she could catch up on some much-needed me-time – then the real partying began! First there was a ’90s-themed rooftop party at Universal Music in Rosebank, Johannesburg, for 160 guests. “I planned it all, especially the décor. I…

LOOKS like BLUE IVY CARTER knows how to go big. At an age when most kids are learning to paint and draw images that finally look like something, the six-year-old is dropping $10 0000 (R110 000) bids – and winning – at fine-art auctions. Blue attended grandma TINA KNOWLES-LAWSON’s Wearable Art Gala in Los Angeles with her parents, BEYONCÉ (36) and JAY-Z (48), where Bey and her mother-in-law, GLORIA CARTER, were honoured for their humanitarian work. Bey’s baby sister, Solange Knowles, and stepsister, actress Bianca Lawson, were there too. But despite the assembled star power, it was Blue who stole the spotlight. She started out bidding on a painting of a young Sidney Poitier, going up to $19 000 (R209 000), but she was outbid by actor and producer Tyler…

REALLY, Snapchat? What did you expect would happen? The social media app took a major knock on the stock exchange – the value of its parent company plummeted by around $800 million (R8,8 billion) – after running an ad for a game called Would You Rather? which asks users if they would rather slap RIHANNA or punch her ex, CHRIS BROWN – a reference to the notorious 2009 assault on the Diamonds singer. Turns out RiRi didn’t think it was funny and after the app apologised and pulled the ad, she responded via Instagram – and she wasn’t holding back. “Now SNAPCHAT I know you already know you ain’t my fav app out there! But I’m just trying to figure out what the point was with this mess! I’d love…

AN EDUCATED nation is one that will make progress and move in the right direction. The importance of education must be preached at all levels because it is the medication for all the ailments affecting all countries. Our ailments are poverty, crime, unemployment, racism and inequality, and we have a good chance of curing them if we recognise the importance of education and embrace it. I was so happy when the announcement of free tertiary education was made, as that means a lot of medication for our ills. Nelson Mandela always spoke highly of education as he knew it made him the resilient man he was. When you are informed you are more likely to make informed decisions. A country without education is doomed. MESHACK MATHE, EMAIL THE WINNING LETTER…

HIS stare is fixed on the principal as he listens to the man attempt to explain how his smart, brave little girl was found dead in a dilapidated pit toilet before the end of her first term at school. Five-year-old Lumka Mkhethwa was the apple of her father’s eye. Vuyani Mkhethwa (33), a gold miner who works in Welkom in the Free State, last saw her on 3 January, a few days before she started Grade R at Luna Junior Secondary School near Bizana in the Eastern Cape. He couldn’t accompany her to school on her first day because he had to return to the mine, but he would speak to her almost every day over the phone after his shift ended. Vuyani is back in his thatched-roofed rondavel now,…

Common – real name Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr – started his music career with the stage name Common Sense, but changed it when he was sued by a reggae band with the same title. He performed in SA last year at the DStv Delicious Festival and last month he hosted some of Mzansi’s hottest stars – LUTHANDO “LOOTLOVE” SHOSHA, Ayanda Thabethe, Heavy K, Da LES and Anatii – at the African Getdown festival in Hollywood Hills.

I AM ENOUGH BY GRACE BYERS AND KETURAH A BOBO (HARPERCOLLINS) This is a great book for any parent raising a girl child. It’s Empire actress and activist Grace Byers’ first book and while it has few words, Keturah A Bobo’s illustrations make it stand out. I am Enough is about a little girl with an Afro who just loves herself – from her dark skin to her hair – and the friends she’s surrounded by. It’s about self-acceptance more than anything. It features girls of different races, in glasses, a wheelchair, Afros or wearing head-scarfs. Grace and Keturah essentially paint a picture of what the world would be like if people were accepted as they are. “We are all here for a purpose. We are more than enough. We…

ITU IN EUROPE? Bafana Bafana goalkeeper ITUMELENG KHUNE isn’t bothered by the fact he’s never tested his abilities in Europe, but hasn’t ruled out a career overseas just yet either, Kick Off reports. “I always think about [moving to Europe], but at the same time I just have to accept [not being approached] because I’m happy where I am. I will continue working hard. If a team is interested in my services then they will contact the club [Kaizer Chiefs] and I will go and represent them well.” Khune, who recently had his 300th start for Chiefs, has been told he’s too short, he says, but he believes that makes him a bit more agile than taller goalies.“I just want to run my race here in South Africa and continue…

He’s a loose cannon. I don’t think he will be useful for the ANC. NOZI POPPY KHUMALO The ANC is dead, just like Kaizer Chiefs. Tell ’em, JuJu. NTUTHUKO NHLAKANIPHO MNCUBE Now that Malema is talking like a fool, I’m going to dump the EFF and go back to the ANC. ERNEST T RAPATSA Who in their right mind in the ANC camp would dare to think that Malema would ever return? DIMAKATSO KATSO No one would leave the company they started and go and work for someone else. Besides, things will never be the same should he decide to go back.

HOW TO CREATE A GALLERY WALL Choose a wall for your gallery first. Pick an area that’s the focal point of the room and make sure there is enough light – either natural or artificial –for maximum impact. What will your theme be? Monochrome artworks in matching frames give a modern feel. Different types of images in frames made from various materials create a bohemian look. Before you start hammering nails into your wall, first lay your frames on the floor to see what works well where. Take a photo for reference. One trick is to start with an anchor piece – your biggest and boldest piece – and add from there. TIPS Hanging frames in a collage will make an impression. Always hang frames and artworks at eye level.…

IN LOVE WITH MY TEACHER QI’m a 16-year-old girl and I’m in love with one of my teachers. He’s such a kind man and he never gets angry with any of his learners. He always helps them even if they aren’t in his class. I feel so close to him but I don’t think he knows – he’s never said anything. I’m scared to tell him or anyone else in case he gets into trouble but I really want us to have a proper relationship. What should I do? BESOTTED, SMS A Yes, you should be scared – because nothing should happen between the two of you as it’s not appropriate and he’ll definitely be in trouble. You’re only 16 and should be concentrating on your studies and finishing high…

HEROSE from the bench, deafened by the roar of the derby crowd. He shook his legs loose and paused to clear his mind and focus on his goal: nothing less than a hat-trick would do, he told himself. Luvuyo “Amigo” Memela (30) fell one goal short of his dream at the recent Soweto Derby but his brace for Orlando Pirates helped the Buccaneers to a 3-1 victory over Kaizer Chiefs. It was a remarkable performance from the in-form striker, who is finally coming into his own after three years with the club. He was spending more time on the bench and in the stands than on the field but, thanks to his efforts and the tireless work of the coaches and the technical director, he’s finally begun to flourish. “I…

Choreographer SOMIZI MHLONGO does nothing in half measures, and what could be more romantic than an engagement in Paris? The TV and radio host popped the question while he and boyfriend MOHALE MOTAUNG were in the City of Love and shared the news on Instagram once they were back in SA. “My bestie, @mohale_77, life is sweeter with you by my side,” Somizi captioned the picture, while Mohale captioned his picture of a diamond-encrusted ring on his finger with, “I said yes!!! Yes, I’m getting married ” The pair apparently met at an exclusive Louis Vuitton and Moët & Chandon event in July last year and saw each other again shortly afterwards when Somizi (45) invited Mo-hale (22) to his book launch. Mohale is a student at Wits University and…

‘I burnt a lot and I threw stuff in the pool too’ IGGY AZALEA  HER lyrics are hardcore, but not nearly as rough as the rapper’s relationship-ending revenge tactics! IGGY AZALEA revealed that when she learnt her ex-fiancé, US basketball player NICK YOUNG, had been cheating on her she burnt all his clothes! The 27-year-old Australian gleefully told TV show host Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live she “burnt it all, darling”. “I burnt a lot and I threw stuff in the pool too. I started off with water and it seems like that didn’t work. Every designer you could think of I burnt.” Iggy says Nick had cheated on her while she was away performing and she found out by reviewing security footage. “So I was like, ‘I’m…

R&B crooner TREY SONGZ allegedly flew into a jealous rage and viciously beat his date for talking to another man, as per the domestic violence charge laid against him. But the singer has denied the attack and handed himself over to Los Angeles cops – and was released on $50 000 (R550 000) bail. The incident allegedly took place at a party in Hollywood Hills in February and Trey’s accuser, ANDREA BUERA, claims she suffered a concussion in the attack. She also says there were multiple eyewitnesses. When the Na Na singer handed himself in at the police station, he tweeted, “For weeks my lawyers & [management] have asked me not to comment on this and I initially agreed but this morning I feel that my fam, the women that…
