HE’S the royal bad boy who’s shaking things up – and not in a good way. The new chief of the Bhubesini Village and his good-for-nothing friends are trashing the royal household, seducing the servants and generally disgracing the chieftainship. And it makes for riveting viewing. In fact, viewers can’t get enough of this racy storyline on Mzansi Magic’s Isibaya and of Dabula, the not-so-noble chief with a magnetic charm that makes him irresistible. Playing the dastardly Dabula is Chris Q Radebe and watching him delve ever deeper into the part week after week it’s hard to believe this is only his second screen role. Acting wasn’t part of the plan, he says – his ambition was always to become a TV writer, not a star. But he was approached…

SUN PROTECTION Kids must take care in the sun. Apply sunscreen in the morning before they head to school and get them in the habit of reapplication when they go outside to play or do sports. Keep a tiny bottle of sunblock in their bag, SPF 50 or higher. GETTING READY Children’s skin is sensitive, so buy products specifically for kids. Teach them early on to apply moisturiser daily – they’ll thank you later. For haircare, look for tear-free shampoo and detangling spray to ease that school-time morning rush. IN THE BACKPACK Lips and skin get dry during the hot terms. Then there are scrapes and cuts, dirty hands and messy hair. It’s a jungle gym out there! Pack a small toiletry bag with a few essentials and keep it…

WE RELY heavily on good vision in our daily lives but just because we think we can see well, it doesn’t mean our eyes don’t need attention. The only way to keep our peepers in good nick is to have regular checkups – and they can be a window to discover other underlying health problems too. WHY DO WE NEED TO BE TESTED? Regular eye tests are important because your eyes don’t necessarily hurt when something is wrong. There are early warning signs of potential problems that can be detected during a test long before you become aware of any symptoms and, if they’re found early enough, many can be treated. Your optometrist or ophthalmologist can also pick up conditions such as high blood pressure, hypertension, excess cholesterol and diabetes.…

IT’S 6.30am. You roll out of bed, have a shower, munch some toast and head out the door for work. It sounds routine, but the intricate ballet that takes you unthinkingly from your front door to work and home again isn’t actually dictated by your choices. About 45% of these steps are a matter of habit, says Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business. So how do habits work and what can be done to kick bad ones? THE POWER OF HABIT To explain where habits come from and how they can change, Duhigg cites the example of Lisa Allen, a 34-year-old graphic designer who was studied by neurologists in a US lab. For most of her life she’d…

LUCKY SHOT A man goes into a bar and orders double bourbon. He takes a sip of the drink and says to the barman, “I shouldn’t be drinking this with what I’ve got.” “What have you got?” the barman asks. “Thirty cents,” the man replies. FALSE MOVE A farmer grows watermelons. He’s doing pretty well but some local kids often sneak into his watermelon patch at night and eat his watermelons. After some careful thought he comes up with a clever idea he thinks will scare the kids away. He makes a sign that reads: “Warning! One of the watermelons in this field has been injected with cyanide”, and puts it up in the field. The following night the kids sneak into the field but when they see the sign…

TRAFFIK THRILLER. 93 MIN. 2018. 16DLSV. Brea (PAULA PATTON) and John (Omar Epps) go on a weekend break to celebrate her birthday.

THE saying goes that behind every successful man there’s a strong woman – but that is just as true for women who are built up by a supportive sisterhood. And one woman who can attest to the strength of girl power is Thembisa Mdoda. The actress, TV host and radio presenter tapped into her network when she needed them most. And she’s learnt valuable lessons from them that have taken her through some of her darkest moments to when her light shone brightest. Here the 36-year-old tells DRUM about the sisterhood that’s shaped her. I GOT IT FROM MY MAMA Thembisa’s mom, Yolisa Mdoda, was a publicist at Transnet and an SABC1 continuity presenter who exposed her daughters to the theatre from a young age. “She was so organised,” Thembisa…

LIKE many little girls she’s always loved fairy-tale princesses and dressing up in flowing gowns similar to those worn by the heroines she’s admired in books and on screen. Yet Enhle Gebashe’s fascination went deeper than just playing dress-up. She’d stare at the garments worn by the princesses and think about how she could recreate them – preferably with a dash of African print that would really make them pop. And so the 10-year-old started sketching her version of African-inspired outfits that would make every little girl feel like a princess – which is how her business came about. The young designer now runs Enhle Babes Couture, a children’s brand specialising in glamourous African-print outfits. In October her mom, Desiree (33), started a Facebook page advertising her daughter’s designs and…

A MESSY AFFAIR  Q My story isn’t easy to tell. I have two kids, a five-year-old with Thabo* and a nine-month-old with Sabelo*. Sabelo has other kids with other women but he paid lobola when I was pregnant with his child. Thabo and I work together and sometimes still have sex. Sabelo found out and was hurt but he’s also having an affair with Mbali*. He said he started the affair because of my lack of respect. There are actually three women in Sabelo’s life: a woman he’s paying rent for to support one of his children (I was aware she was in his life when we started dating), Mbali and me. Sabelo is adamant he’s not going to leave Mbali, even though I’ve committed to leaving Thabo. My question…

So now you know it’s all about creating new habits rather than breaking old ones. With that in mind, here are some fantastic habits you can put in place that are good for you and will make you feel strong rather than stuck. HAVE A DAILY TO-DO LIST The trick is to be ruthless about it. Instead of a never-ending to-do list where more than half of it never gets done, be realistic and make it manageable. Also, list things in order of importance – you might have to add these as they pop up – and work from the top down. This stops you getting bogged down by things that aren’t really important. READ MORE This one is probably on every list of habits practised by successful people. Microsoft…

HAVING friends is the best thing in the world. They help boost your happiness, reduce your stress and improve your self-confidence and self-worth. Good friends will help you cope with trauma such as divorce, serious illness, job loss and the death of a loved one. Mutual trust between friends is the building block of a solid relationship that could last a lifetime. A loyal friend is honest, so don’t expect loyalty if you can’t provide honesty. Writer Stan Tian says, “A loyal friend might not agree with you all the time and they won’t always have the same opinions as yours, but they still want you to know the truth”. A true friend is someone who has your back when things are going wrong. A true friend keeps their promises,…

THE words Eternal Crush stand out clearly on her white T-shirt. They have special meaning to her – it’s not just the name of her late husband’s debut album, it’s also the nickname she had for him.

A balanced lunchbox should include something from each of these groups. Lean red meat, chicken, fish, eggs, tofu, legumes and pulses contain protein, which promotes growth and keeps you feeling full. Grains (mostly wholegrain), legumes and pulses provide energy and contain fibre to help with digestion. Oils, butter, avocado, nuts and seeds provide energy, form a protective layer around your organs, and help to maintain your body temperature. Milk, yoghurt and cheese and some dairy substitutes contain protein and are an important source of calcium for strong teeth and bones. Fruit and vegetables contain a range of vitamins and minerals that help to ensure a strong immune system and aid digestion. Water prevents dehydration.…

VISUAL SPECTACLE The son of a lighthouse keeper and a mermaid, Arthur Curry aka Aquaman must take his rightful place as king and step forward to lead his people. The film co-stars Nicole Kidman as his mother Queen Atlanna, Amber Heard as Mera, Willem Dafoe as Nuidis Vulko and Djimon Hounsou as The Fisherman King. Critics have given the film rave reviews, with some saying it’s the best DC Comics movie since The Dark Knight. One reviewer said Jason is “charismatic as hell”. NEW PERSPECTIVE It’s director James Wan’s first superhero movie. He’s better known for his horror films, which include Insidious and The Conjuring, but has also helmed bigbudget flicks such as Furious 7. James believes what makes Aquaman unique is his Atlantean heritage. “We’re used to superhero movies…

JUST over a year ago he was hustling, making music videos on social media hoping someone would notice and make his dreams of becoming a household name come true. Now he’s one of the most sought-after vocalists in the country. And it all started with his popular AmaBlesser song, which hit 5 million views on YouTube less than six months after it was released. Mlindo The Vocalist (real name Lindokuhle Mgedezi) had quite a 2018. He’s worked with DJ Maphorisa, Sun-EL Musician, Sjava, Kwesta and Thabsie on his debut album, Emakhaya, which dropped four months ago and already topped the Mzansi music charts. It’s been surreal, he says. His fortunes started to change when he heard Sun-EL Musician would be performing in his hometown of Port Shepstone in KwaZulu-Natal and…
