She was doing nothing exciting. She must take Wandi [Chi Mhende] and her acting with her. ELISHA MURINGANI Wandi is getting too extra! LEAH LINKI ELISHA MURINGANI Please also get rid of Wandi and that private-school accent! AZWIDOHWI MAKHUVHA Generations is getting boring, time for me to exit too.

IT WAS, perhaps, a sign of things to come. The tearful widow needing to ask to be seated with her late husband’s family at his funeral. A family who refused to acknowledge her as his wife and who left her out of the service completely as if she hadn’t spent nearly a decade with their fallen son. The extraordinary scenes followed a series of unusual events involving legal minds, who had to decide where one of Mzansi’s most-beloved sons would take to his final resting place. On one side was Lerato Sengadi, the estranged wife of Hip Hop Pantsula (real name Jabulani Tsambo), and in the other the Tsambo family, headed up by patriarch Robert Tsambo. That fight, in which both sides were partly victorious, and the tension that followed…

FACE UV rays from the sun cause sun spots, pigmentation and wrinkles – and one of the first places you’ll notice this damage is on your face. That’s why you need to apply sunscreen every day, even if it’s overcast. Apply it 15 to 30 minutes before you step outside and reapply every two hours. Use a sunscreen or moisturiser with SPF (sun protection factor) that’s at least factor 30. You can also layer products that have SPF – for example your moisturiser, primer, foundation and powder – as this adds extra protection. But remember that at least one product must be SPF 30 or above, as adding up the SPF count in each product doesn’t raise the SPF factor. Also keep in mind that even if your foundation, BB…

Make sure your new membership starts on the day after your old membership ends – it’s illegal to belong to more than one medical aid at a time. Before switching, call your existing medical aid and ask what the notice period is. When giving notice, confirm exactly on which day the membership ends. Your old medical aid should give you a membership certificate, which you need to hand over to the new medical aid to confirm you were a member. If you don’t have this, you can sign an affidavit to confirm your membership. The new fund will require your detailed health status and that of your dependants. This includes chronic conditions, medical history and any surgeries you’ve had. If you stay with the same medical aid but change plans,…

How did your collab with Kiddominant on Fela in Versace come about? I’d heard some of the music he’d done before – he’s produced for artists such as Davido and Wizkid – and linked up through my management. Your albums have gone gold and platinum, but what goals do you still want to achieve? To continue to make hot music people relate to and love. What’s the worst mistake you’ve made in the music industry? Not being in complete control of my career from the start. But now I am. Who would you like to collaborate with? I’d like to do a song with Sjava, more music with Emtee, maybe a song with Shekhinah – and it would be dope to do a song with DJ Ganyani. Who are your…

DONUT COUNTY PLAYSTATION 4 A raccoon controls a hole in the ground that slowly grows the more things fall into it. This is the base for the puzzle gameplay in Donut County – and it’s addictive. The game is simple: you start as a small hole that small things fall into and as it grows, larger items are sucked in. How the game uses this to create its puzzles is ingenious. Paired with fantastic humour, this was the best two hours I’ve spent playing a puzzle game in ages.…

AND just like that the unlikeliest bromance in politics looks like it’s come to an abrupt halt. Which means no more back-slapping and loving lip service from the world’s most controversial leader and one of the planet’s biggest stars. Kanye West has learnt his lesson – or so it seems. In a move dubbed #Yexit, Ye recently announced he was backing out of all things political. “My eyes are now wide open and I now realise I’ve been used to spread messages I don’t believe in,” he announced on Twitter. “I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative.” For more than two years Ye’s outrageous pro-Donald Trump statements angered fans and bewildered millions. But his sudden about-turn may have more to do with the state of…

THERE are no shortcuts to any place worth going. The way to the top is neither swift nor easy, and nothing worthwhile ever happens in a hurry so be patient. Remember, you can’t warm your hands by burning your fingers. Your path to success has little to do with speed, but everything to do with timing and direction. The key to making a success of yourself is doing the right things at the right time. Have a time and place for everything and do everything in its time and place, and you won’t only accomplish more, you will have far more leisure time than those who are always hurrying. There is much more to life than simply increasing its speed. ZWANE DITHAKONG, EMAIL THE WINNING LETTER RECEIVES R300. Letters should…

The court’s ruling that Lerato Sengadi is HHP’s customary wife is correct, says Jabulani Maphalala, a retired professor of history at the University of Zululand. “Lobola is legally binding. Once lobola was paid it was acknowledged she’s the wife of that household,” he says. The “welcoming” ceremony that introduces the bride to the ancestors is a crowning moment, but even without it she’s a makoti. The family’s infighting led to the failure of traditional processes, adds cultural expert Thato Molosankwe. “Under normal circumstances, a family conducts a traditional ceremony for a widow to signal the end of the mourning period. Culturally they’re supposed to bathe Lerato and get certain medication for her. But by the look of things, they aren’t going to help her. So that means she must get…

HIS brow barely creases as he mentally calculates the answers to complex sums that would have most of us reaching for the calculator. “What’s 85 000 times 15?” he’s asked. “One million, two hundred and seventy-five thousand,” Sibahle Zwane replies without a second’s hesitation in one of the viral videos that have made him an internet sensation. It’s impressive stuff – but making it all the more remarkable is the fact Sibahle is just 10 years old. And his precocious talent for numbers is rapidly changing his and his mother’s lives. The little boy was plucked from obscurity when a policeman on patrol near Sibahle’s home in Lehae near Lenasia in Joburg heard of his skill and decided to put him to the test. He filmed Sibahle answering a range…

IN his first cookbook, Dijo: My Food, My Journey, every dish has a story that speaks of nostalgia and some part of Lesego’s food history. There are much-loved township classics from his childhood as well as more complex fine-dining combinations he learnt while working as a chef. This cookbook celebrates South African cuisine, its heritage and its unique flavours. Lesego has cooked for the rich and famous (including Sir Richard Brandson, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett), has been a judge on various food shows, a resident foodie on various newspapers and radio shows, and has his own culinary brand, LesDaChef. Here are some tasty treats from his cookbook. SPICY TROTTERS I’m a big fan of using cheaper cuts of meat and what we call “head-to-tail” cooking, using as much of…

MY FRIEND HATES ME Q I’m a 21-year-old woman and have a childhood friend whom I adore. I’ve always been there when she needed me. I even stole my sister’s clothes so she could look good when she had nothing to wear. Recently I tried to spoil her by taking her for a special lunch at a nice hotel for her birthday so she’d know how much I appreciate her friendship. But now I’ve discovered my friend has started to gossip about me, saying horrible things and I’m so confused. Of all people, why would my dear friend do this? I feel so hurt and angry. I’ve stopped answering her messages but she’s still trying to contact me. The problem is whenever I think about this I just burst into…

THE WIVES BY LAUREN WEISBERGER (HARPERCOLLINS) R255* If you loved icy, bitchy Emily in The Devil Wears Prada, you’ll be a fan of this book. This time she takes centre stage. Alongside her are Miriam, a former high-flying lawyer now living in the suburbs and looking after her kids, and Karolina, a former supermodel whose life falls to pieces when she’s dumped by her politician husband. After leaving Runway magazine, Emily flies high as a consultant to the stars. But younger, social media-savvy rivals are snapping at her heels and Emily stays with Miriam for a bit to nurse her wounds. Then Karolina gets caught up in a scandal that ruins her reputation and Emily has a new client. The women soon realise Karolina’s husband isn’t as innocent as he…

POPULATION The most important information gained is that the South African population had grown to nearly 52 million people. There were 41 000 938 black people (79,2% of the total population). Coloured people were the second-largest group at 4 615 401 (8,9%), followed by white people (4 586 838 or about 8,85%), Asians or Indians (1 286 930 or almost 2,5%) and “other” (280 454 or 0,5%). The average age of the entire population was 25 years but the black population’s average age was a little lower at 21 years. The census also showed there were roughly 1,4 million more women than men in SA. The 2011 census indicated that the population had increased by 6 950 782 people in the 10 years since the 2001 census – that’s 14,39%.…

IN THE CLASSROOM *Teacher: What is the chemical formula for water? Sarah: HIJKLMNO. Teacher: What are you talking about? Sarah: Yesterday you said it’s H to O. *Teacher: What’s the outside layer of a tree called, Tommy? Tommy: Don’t know. Teacher: Bark, Tommy. Tommy: Woof, woof. MIGRATION DEFINED Kaya comes running into his mother’s bedroom. “Mom,” he says, “what does the word migration mean?” “It’s a bad headache birds get when they fly north for the winter.” THE HUMAN KEG A woman is startled from her sleep when her husband comes crashing through the front door at 3am. He staggers and tries to get up the stairs. “What are you doing?” his wife shouts from the top of the stairs. “I’m trying to get a gallon of beer up the…

JUST four months ago he was forced to leave Russia with his tail between his legs after being unceremoniously sacked as Spain’s manager on the eve of the World Cup. But he’s unlikely to have been too fazed: his “crime” was accepting the job as manager of Real Madrid, one of the top glamour clubs in the world – and who wouldn’t want to guide a team blessed with several of the biggest names in the beautiful game? Oh how quickly things change. Julen Lopetegui has found himself fired yet again – after less than 140 days at the Bernabéu. The final straw for the 52-year-old Spaniard was a disastrous 5-1 loss to Madrid’s nemesis, Barcelona, following a string of dismal results. Lopetegui presided over the team’s worst goal drought…

RUNNING WITH THE PREZ It was a race of many firsts, including PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA’s participation. The prez tackled the Old Mutual Soweto Marathon’s 10km race in a bid to get South Africans moving, but didn’t finish due to other commitments. Meanwhile, middle-distance runner IRVETTE VAN ZYL set a new women’s record of 2:33:43 in the 42km race – months after giving birth. “After having a baby five months ago I didn’t think I’d be able to run a record time but once I reached the last two kilometres I realised it was possible‚” she said. Ethiopian Sintayehu Legese Yinesu was the first runner to cross the finish line‚ reclaiming his title. THE BRAZILIANS TAKE A KNOCK They’re out. From being champions last year to suffering a 2-0 defeat at…

IT WAS one of those moments where we thought, “This is a joke right? Fake news?” How could it be that HHP’s funeral might not happen because of a court case? Of course, as we all know by now, legal action did indeed take place but so did his funeral. And what was very clear on the day is there are many people hurting following Jabba’s death – and many seething in fury. It’s anyone’s guess how this sad saga will end but turn to page 10 for more on what happened on the day and what the future holds. A cultural expert also weighs in on how things unfolded and how things might have been addressed. Let us know your thoughts on this – email letters@drum.co.za Until next week,…

THEY’RE loud, high-spirited and take sibling rivalry to a whole new level. In fact, the Kardashians might just have met their match because when it comes to drama, drama, drama, these sisters can outdo anything Kim, Khloé, Kourtney and company have to offer. The Ranakas are South Africa’s weekly reality show fix and viewers can’t get enough of them. Family life has seldom been so entertaining and what you see on screen is what you get in real life, we discover when Manaka (39), Mpumi (37) and Dineo (35) spend some time with us at our offices. ‘I only agreed to be on The Ranakas to honour The legacy of my father’ Dineo arrives first, petite and full of life. A friendly Mpumi joins her not long after and for…

THEY seemed to have everything: glittering careers in sport and fitness, three beautiful children and an enviable relationship they were always gushing about on social media. But that image of love and togetherness has been blown out of the water after serious cracks in their two-year marriage forced their way to the surface – and into the public eye. Mamelodi Sundowns player Andile Jali (28) recently spent a night in jail after allegedly assaulting his wife, fitness trainer Nonhle Ndala (35). This came in the wake of rumours of alcohol abuse. He was arrested on charges of assault and malicious damage to property and was released after he appeared in the community court in Hatfield, Tshwane. He’s currently out on R1 500 bail and isn’t allowed to return to his…

SHE votes DA, thinks Mmusi Maimane is the Barack Obama of South Africa and even though her dad works with, “like, Cyril and them” she really doesn’t like the ANC. She wore “MK chic” to an anti-Zuma march, her BFFs are “Mich” and “Sê” and she dressed in black for a week in support of white farmers who are getting killed “in their 10s and 12s”. “I have a lot of friends with farms and I’m always allowed on,” she points out. Ashwin Willemse is “just so aggressive” and really, when you think about it, there’s no such thing as white privilege, guys. “I mean, my friend Natasha’s dad is like, a super-dark-skinned guy and when he comes back from holiday he’s like, ‘Oh my God, Kelz – twinzies!’ So…

IT’S not for sissies, according to some parents. It’s like driving directly into bright sunlight, one mom says. And yet for many it’s as unavoidable as the weather because of how much relationships have changed. Blended families are increasingly becoming a facet of everyday life and each must find a way that works best for them. Songeziwe Flepu-Arthur* and Thomas Arthur* dated in high school but went their separate ways after matric. Then one day, many years later, they met up quite by chance. “It’s 15 years later, I’m a 32-year-old lawyer with a nine-year-old son and a failed marriage,” Songeziwe tells DRUM. “I wasn’t looking for love because I’d already given up on it.” Songeziwe decided to take some time out by herself and went to Cape Town for…

THERE are waiting periods when switching from one medical aid to another before you’re fully covered. The duration of these depends on how long you’ve been a member of a medical aid. Basically, there are two categories – you’ve been a member of a medical aid for an uninterrupted two years, or you’ve been a member of a medical aid for less than two years. Just remember, if you want to switch it’s important to complete the move within three months (90 days) of leaving your old medical aid, otherwise a late joining fee and full underwriting might be implemented. Full underwriting means the same criteria apply as when you join a medical aid for the first time. MORE THAN TWO YEARS UNINTERRUPTED If you’ve been a member of a…

E’S cute, confident, H smart, sassy, multi-talented and owner of the most famous pair of ears on the planet. He’s also 90 years old and still going strong – and how many stars have that claim to fame? He is, of course, Mickey Mouse, the white-gloved, high-voiced marvel who enabled his creator to build an empire. Award-winning movies, countless TV shows, masses of merchandise, hugely profitable theme parks – they all feature that famous round head and instantly recognisable ears. Walt Disney himself never forgot the magic of the mouse he created. “I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing,” he once said, “that it was all started by a mouse.” To celebrate his milestone birthday, we look back at Mickey’s marvellous life.
