A FAMILY TRAGEDY WHAT a bleak Father’s Day Sibusiso Tshabalala faces. This is the man who allegedly accidentally shot and killed his son, Luyanda, after mistaking him for a criminal. The boy was just 16. Images of Sibusiso’s grief-stricken sobs show just how deeply Luyanda’s death is affecting this father. We can’t imagine what must be going on in his head and his heart – but his pain is clear for all to see. “It will haunt me for the rest of my life,” he told the court when he first appeared. Read more on this heartrending story on page 6 and let us know your thoughts (letters@drum.co.za). If you’re lucky enough to spend this Father’s Day with your dad or kids, cherish every moment.

HE WAS destined for success. At the age of eight he was helping his grandfather run his shop in rural Venda (now Limpopo) and by 11 he was dreaming of the kind of business he’d do when he grew up – and how he’d rake in the big bucks. By the time he got to high school he was reading books on entrepreneurship and acting as an informal microlender while his peers grappled with science and biology. Now, at just 24, Mpho Dagada’s dreams have come true – and he’s smiling all the way to the bank. The stylish Mpho occupies a swanky office in Sandton and wears bespoke suits, the perfect attire for a corporate king on the rise. What’s more, he’s managed to crack the often baffling world…

CELEBRITY INSPIRATION WHY YOU SHOULD BRAID Winter dries out hair, making it more prone to breakage. Braids help protect it from shedding because you don’t have to comb or brush it all the time. Another braid bonus is that you can still care for your hair while it’s braided because braids stay intact when you wash and moisturise them. Most importantly, your hairline gets a break. We all know how fragile our edges are and when you have braids in there’s less pulling or styling. HOW TO CARE FOR BRAIDS Base your scalp daily with a hair crème or hair spray. If you’re planning to wear your braids for a long time, wash your hair every two weeks to remove product build up. Use an oil sheen spray to keep…

1 SIZE MATTERS Spare a thought for those who have to sift through reams of applications and keep it as concise as possible. “CVs that are pages long and very wordy are a no-no,” says Tamara Wolpert of Viv Gordon Placements in Cape Town. “The person receiving your CV is more than likely receiving multiple CVs – sometimes hundreds of them – and wants to be able to get to the relevant information as quickly as possible,” Wolpert says. Keep your CV to between one and three pages – the less work experience you have, the shorter it should be. 2 ACCURACY COUNTS Check your spelling and your grammar, or get someone else to do it for you. “Spelling and grammatical errors are totally unacceptable in today’s world of spell…

SHE WON’T STOP DRINKING Q I’m a 30-year-old man and my girlfriend is the same age. We’ve been together for 10 years and have two boys. When we met we were both partying and drinking quite a bit on weekends but never too much. I decided to quit because it doesn’t work for me and I have to save the little money I have for my kids. The problem is she still drinks every weekend with her friends, and I think it’s a serious situation because it affects our boys and our relationship. There are days I want to leave her but I do love her and want to marry her. We’ve talked about it several times and she’s promised to stop but hasn’t. She recently told me she’s enjoying…

CANCER 21 JUN – 21 JUL The sun moves into your sign this week and your birthday is just around the corner. Not only is it a time to celebrate, it’s also the start of a new personal year.

It’s an excellent time to define your goals for the year ahead – both in terms of your personal life and on a purely professional level. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 16, 6, 52, 29, 31, 25 LEO 22 Jul – 22 Aug As a Leo you probably like to take the lead. But this week your light might be somewhat dimmed and you could feel slightly insignificant.

DAD IN DANGER Zamani runs into the house, frantic, and says, “Mom, you’d better come out. I’ve just knocked over the ladder from the side of the house.” “Go and tell your father,” his mother says, “I’m busy.” “He already knows,” Zamani says. “He’s hanging from the roof.” BACK TROT A beginner at a horse-riding school is unsure how to saddle a horse but too proud to ask for help. “Excuse me,” a veteran rider says, “but you’re putting that saddle on backwards.” “How do you know,” the student snaps. “You don’t know which way I’m going.” SPELLBOUND An old man visits a sangoma and asks him if he can remove a curse he’s been living with for the past 50 years. The sangoma says, “Maybe, but you’ll have to…

SHE needs no introduction: she’s a style icon, a vocal powerhouse and a member of one of the longest-running musical groups in South Africa. And now Nhlanhla Nciza has hit the big 4-0 – although that’s hard to believe considering she looks young enough to fit in with the born-frees. The songbird recently celebrated her 40th birthday in style, throwing a glamorous all-white party in Johannesburg. To honour the Mafikizolo singer’s milestone birthday, DRUM brings you 40 facts about a woman who’s synonymous with music in Mzansi. 5 MOTTOS SHE LIVES BY He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged – Deuteronomy 31:8 Success is when you’re strong enough to take a step forward, even when you’re afraid I never lose. I…

LOCAL RUNNERS CLINCH COMRADES He’s now won the ultimate human race twice in a row – and is one of only two men to have won it three times. BONGMUSA MTHEMBU is this year’s Comrades Marathon men’s champion after winning in a time of 05:35:14. It was an emotional run but it’s a labour of love for him, he said afterwards. “I’m lucky because I don’t do this for anything else but love. The Comrades Marathon is a tricky race, you have to be strong in your mind. I went through a lot this season but with the grace of God I was able to run today, so I’m quite happy and excited. But this is a very emotional era.” South Africans managed a clean sweep with Ann Ashworth winning…

TEACH RESPONSIBILITY SOME parents don’t explain to their children why they don’t want them to play outside after dark. They lock the gates at a certain time of the night and that makes their children feel like prisoners. When their children go to tertiary institutions it’s like being in a new world because they now have the freedom to go out as they wish. The challenges they face are so overwhelming that they end up making bad choices. Parents must teach their children about the danger of roaming the streets and how to act responsibly. Children must learn to consider the results of their actions before they act, and they must learn to be accountable for their mistakes. If they’re taught to be responsible, it’s unlikely they’ll be easily influenced…

IT HAD been a long, exhausting day. He’d spent hours helping workmen build a garage at his home and now, with the sun gone, his eyes grew heavy as he sat in his parked car. A sudden noise startled Sibusiso Tshabalala awake. Someone was pulling at the car’s door handle and pounding on the window. Fearing it was a hijacker, he pointed his gun at the window and squeezed the trigger. Crime is rife in Ennerdale, south of Johannesburg, where he lives and he carries his licensed firearm with him when he’s out on the streets at night. Then he heard the words that will haunt him for the rest of his life: “Daddy, it’s me!” The “hijacker” was his 16-year-old son, Luyanda, and the father’s terrible mistake stunned the…

SHE’S been a star for some time now yet conversations usually go back to how she’s the younger sister of another successful South African singer. But that’s changing rapidly and she’s finally stepping out of her sibling’s shadow. Zandie Khumalo made her mark with the release of her debut album, Izikhali ZamaNtungwa earlier this year, and fans still can’t get enough of it. Yet getting the 13-track album off the ground wasn’t easy, she tells us when we meet for a catch-up. Switching record labels and dealing with the death of soccer star Senzo Meyiwa, who was gunned down in her mother’s house, are just some of the obstacles she’s had to face. The 27-year-old, sporting her signature curly blonde mohawk, is stylishly dressed in a faux-leather jacket and warm…

YOU pay your insurance premiums monthly only to discover on claiming that your claim is refused. The following claims are often denied or not fully paid out – we find out why. POWER SURGES Damage as the result of power surges isn’t generally standard cover in most policies. A power surge is when there’s a sudden spike in the electricity stream in your home. It can happen really quickly – less than a second – but can significantly damage your electronic equipment and appliances. The usual victims are fridges, freezers, televisions, computers and microwave ovens. You can insure against it, but you’ll have to add it to your policy. This is called extended coverage and you’ll pay extra for it. It’s worth considering getting if your area experiences regular power…

WONDER *** DRAMA. 109 MIN. 2017. PGV. A feel-good kids movie with a typically American moral undertone starring JULIA ROBERTS, Owen Wilson and the impressive Canadian child actor JACOB TREMBLAY, who plays a clever 10-year-old boy with a facial deformity who becomes the target of bullying. This theme has been tackled successfully before – The Elephant Man (1980) and Mask (1985) – but director Stephen Chbosky handles it with sensitivity and empathy. It’s conventional but sweet all the same. – JANE SURTEES THE GREATEST SHOWMAN * MUSICAL. 101 MIN. 2017. PGDPV. A showy, kitsch tale about PT Barnum (HUGH JACKMAN) who rose from nothing to invent a new form of popular entertainment. Despite his real-life reputation as an abusive con artist, here he’s portrayed as a nice guy who lightens…

There’s an R&B flavour running through it, which combined with Charlie’s incredible voice and meaningful lyrics makes for effortless listening. It kicks off with the unapologetic The Way I Am before sliding into the hits Attention, How Long and Done for Me. He ropes in Boyz II Men on the slow jam If You Leave Me Now and James Taylor on Change, and ends with Through It All – an honest look back at his life. – NICI DE WET…

A FAIRYTALE wedding that made the world go wow, an exclusive garden party at Buckingham Palace and a majestic sleepover with none other than the queen of England herself. Meghan Markle must be pinching herself – life now is very different from spending her days on the set of TV series Suits and going home to her pet pooches.

What a difference a marriage can make! Yet Meghan isn’t the first person of colour to rock a royal badge. We take a look…

“They have very different ideas about how to raise their son” – JACKSON FAMILY INSIDER CO-PARENTING when you’re divorced is hardly ever easy. First-time mom JANET JACKSON has been having a hard time trusting her ex, WISSAM AL MANA, around their 16-month-old son, EISSA. Janet called the cops to check if the toddler was okay with Wissam when the boy was staying with his dad at the Nobu Hotel in Los Angeles. According to sources, she was worried the Qatari businessman might be using drugs. Police investigated and said Eissa was fine. The pair split in April last year, three months after Janet gave birth. “Since their divorce they’re trying to raise their son together,” a Jackson family source told People magazine. “Their cultural differences, that also ended their marriage,…

A FEW weeks after it was announced that Oscar winner HALLE BERRY would join the cast of John Wick: Chapter 3, the actress posted a pic of herself in fine, fierce character on her Instagram page. Halle plays a new character, Sofia. We don’t know much more than that, but if the picture is anything to go by, Sofia – like our heroic, wannabe-retiree and assassin John (Keanu Reeves) – is also a dog lover. The film is due out in May next year, and picks up where Chapter 2 left off – with poor John on the run with a multi-million-dollar price tag on his head and an army of bounty-hunting killers on his trail.…

I don’t hit because my kids know that I follow through with threats of taking their privileges away. This works for my 12-year-old and my eight-year-old. For example, my older son had his drum lessons taken away for three months because he behaved badly and he’s only just got them back. CHRISTOPHER SARGANT My parents hit me and I turned out just fine. You can’t spoil your kids because you love them; if you truly love them, rather teach them discipline. THEMBELIHLE NXUMALO I don’t hit them, but I always tell them they’ll sleep in the garage without blankets, or I’ll send them to live with some scary magogo if they don’t behave. DIMAKATSO MASETENG NAKUBEKA Having been beaten badly as a child created a distant relationship between my stepmother…

SHE made a name for herself as a club DJ in a male-dominated world, has survived a messy and public split from her baby daddy and she’s established herself as a businesswoman while keeping a foothold in showbiz. Now DJ Zinhle – real name Ntombezinhle Jiyane – has added another notch in her belt of success: she’s an author too. The 34-year-old overachiever has just released a motivational book, Meeting Your Power: Returning Home To Yourself, which she penned with Nokubonga “Bongi” Mbanga. A number of life events led to the book, she tells DRUM. Last year she presented season one of her reality TV show, It Takes a Village, which aired on SABC1 in November and focused on social ills. That was where she met leadership coach Bongi. In…

SHE runs a hand gingerly across her jaw where she claims she was kicked “like a ninja” by one of the most high-profile men in South Africa. What happened to her was even more hurtful, the teenager says, because her alleged attacker is her child’s doting grandfather. The harm suspended Sars boss Tom Moyane has done is irreparable, 17-year-old Thembi* says. The bruises to her jawline may have faded but a deep cut inside her right cheek is still healing, which makes eating painful and difficult. Her eyes fill with tears as she recounts the afternoon of the alleged assault– and the fact she hasn’t been allowed to see her baby boy since. Her 24-year-old boyfriend, Zakes*, Moyane and wife Thandi’s only child and the father of her six-month-old son,…

ENTREPRENEUR, mentor, father of four – and award-winning farmer – Solomon Masango’s life story is simply inspirational. The 46-year-old, who farms in Carolina, Mpumalanga, overcame the odds to live his dream. Today he farms with a combination of cattle and field crops (he produces maize and soya beans in a rotation system). Solomon was raised by a single mom. After completing Grade 7, he left school because money was scarce. He worked as a gardener and did other odd jobs. But he eventually saved enough to finish high school and started studying accounting through Unisa with the help of a man for whom he did gardening. His dreams were dashed in his second year when his supporter could no longer afford to help him. Solomon then went on to work…

YAKUZA 6: THE SONG OF LIFE ***** PS4 There’s nothing quite like the Yakuza series, and every serious gamer should try it out at least once. In a place where most open-world games try to one-up each other in terms of size, the Yakuza series has remained small, focused mostly on a single town and well-told stories. Kazuma Kiryu has made it to the top of the underworld, but now he’s trying to get out. The last game in the series is both the end of Kazuma’s story and a celebration of it and it’s a beautiful send-off for the character. Sega is in the process of revitalising the Yakuza series with a remake of the first game as well as a prequel.…

I’VE GOT MY EYES ON YOU BY MARY HIGGINS CLARK (SIMON & SCHUSTER ) R289* It’s one of those books you can read in a night. A simple crime, a multitude of suspects and police determined to bring the killer to justice. Yet there’s still enough intrigue to keep the reader interested. When 18-year-old Kerry Dowling is found dead at the bottom of the family pool, her parents and sister are left with more questions than answers. Like many popular kids, the teenager had a party while her parents were away, and yet while dozens of friends attended, no one saw the murder. Could it be her boyfriend, who she’d had a screaming match with the night of the party? Or her odd neighbour who hadn’t scored an invite? Kerry’s…

AS LONG as he can remember there’s only been one football hero whose boots he wanted to fill – his dad’s. And Lebohang Maboe has made his old man proud. The 23-year-old is one of the Absa Premiership’s most sought-after players and has been instrumental in helping Maritzburg United secure their best season yet. No one could be more delighted than his father, Sidwell (48), who in his heyday was a lethal striker for Bloemfontein Celtic, Orlando Pirates, SuperSport United and Bidvest Wits. Today DRUM is visiting these two talents of the beautiful game at their home in Ratanda, Heidelberg. The air is crisp and the scenery spectacular, the Suikerbosrand mountain range rising majestically in the background. Sidwell, who’s now an electrical contractor with the Lesedi Municipality, built the home…

Nigeria is just one of five African teams to qualify for the World Cup. Egypt, Senegal, Morocco and Tunisia will also be putting their best foot forward – but eyes will be trained on Egypt and the magnificent Mohamed Salah (26). Egypt have qualified for the World Cup three times (1934, 1990 and 2018) but they have a silver bullet in Salah, who scored 43 goals in his debut season at Liverpool. The Pharoahs are in Group A with hosts Russia, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay so could have a smoother run than Nigeria – especially if Salah is in their midst. But at this stage it’s a big if. He sustained a heartbreaking shoulder injury in Liverpool’s Champions League final against Real Madrid and left the field in tears. Salah…

ON AND OFF . . . NO IT’S ON THEY’VE been on again, off again more than most light switches over the past few days, but SOFIA RICHIE and SCOTT DISICK insist there’s no trouble in their paradise. Sofia (19), the daughter of crooner LIONEL RICHIE, reportedly split with her bae after he was seen getting cosy with another woman at Kanye West’s album listening party – but the couple were spotted back together a few days later. Dad Lionel, sources say, has threatened to cut Sofia from his will if she continues to date Kourtney Kardashian’s 35-year-old ex. “They’ve broken up multiple times since they started dating and always ended up back together,” a friend of the couple told People magazine. And just to make it clear to poor…

GRAMMY nominee SZA returned to her old high school to give a speech to this year’s graduates, telling them to “trust yourself, even if people are telling you you’re too young to trust yourself”. She praised her fave art teacher and spoke about how “daydreaming” is where you “find the details and the inner workings of yourself”. Her visit to Columbia High School in New Jersey, in the US, where she graduated in 2008, was a few days after her tweets saying her voice may be permanently damaged. The All the Stars singer pulled out of Top Dawg Entertainment’s The Championship Tour due to swollen vocal cords then said she would miss an indefinite number of tour dates. In a series of since deleted tweets, she wrote, “My voice is…

GREY’S Anatomy star JESSE WILLIAMS is officially off the market. The actor is in a relationship with TV sports presenter TAYLOR ROOKS – and they’ve told Us Weekly magazine they’re together. They’ve been seen out and about in recent weeks, including at Kevin Hart’s stand-up comedy show in Atlantic City. Jesse and his ex-wife, Aryn Drake-Lee, finalised their divorce in March. They’d been married for five years and have two children. Jesse was rumoured to have dated actress Minka Kelly shortly after filing for divorce last year but neither of them confirmed the relationship. Jesse and Taylor have said they plan on keeping their relationship low profile for now.…
