THE street is lined with people – practically everyone in KwaMadlala has come to see the traditional wedding of one of KwaZulu-Natal’s most prominent sons. Businessman Musa Mseleku, clad in ibheshu, a traditional Zulu garment made of cowhide, beams as he waits for his bride to arrive at his childhood home. She reaches the gate bearing gifts of blankets, sheets and food for her in-laws as part of umembeso. Busisiwe Cele has spent the past 17 years married to Musa (44) but felt she couldn’t really call herself his wife – until now, the day they celebrate their traditional wedding. The bride is wearing isidwaba (a traditional black skirt), with ubuhlalu (beads) draped over her shoulders and isicholo (a flared hat) with a white veil that covers her face. Her…

1 High bubble ponytail  Boity Thulo and influencer Kefilwe Mabote set Instagram alight with the Afrocentric bubble ponytail. This look is achieved using a long piece of hair extension and tiny elastic bands that are fastened at various sections. 2 Forehead crown braid Everyone from students to brides are trying this look. The crown braid is worn across your forehead and is usually accessorised with metal thread or wooden beads. If you have cornrows, they’re styled up – popularly known as the straight-up. 3 Two-tone hair colour Traditional highlights and full-head colours are making way for the two-tone colour trend, with a different colour on each side of the head. So when you go to the salon and can’t make up your mind about which colour to choose, try contrasting…

If you have a child who’s anxious about school, there are things you can do to prepare them emotionally. Common worries include fear of the unknown, pressure to perform academically, worrying about making friends, new teachers and “scary” new subjects. JUST LISTEN “Listen to their fears and concerns,” says Elretha Bartlett, a counselling psychologist at Meaningful Minds Psychologists in Johannesburg. “Don’t tell them they shouldn’t feel that way – simply ensure they feel heard and reassure them. “For example, you can say, ‘I understand you’re worried that maths is going to be difficult this year. It’s normal to feel that way at the start of a new year’.” HAVE ONE-ON-ONE TIME Spend quality time with your child in the days leading up to school starting, Bartlett advises. Your child is…

CAPRICORN 21 DEC – 20 JAN It’s the right week to get your body into tip-top shape. You might also want to get organised and structure a sensible diet and exercise regime, especially if the holiday season caused havoc with your schedule. This should be easy because your levels of self-discipline, perseverance and mental strength are currently heightened. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 43, 31, 5, 50, 3, 5 AQUARIUS 21 JAN – 18 FEB If you’re an Aquarius with a strong will and an independent spirit it’s worth knowing these traits are currently enhanced. It’s a week where the opinions and comments of others won’t steer you off course or deter you from achieving your goals. On the downside, however, you may raise a few hackles because it’s unlikely you’ll follow…

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE –FALLOUT ACTION. 149 MIN. 2018. 13LV. The sixth entry in this series is also the first direct sequel. For most M:I movies, plot matters less than the action sequences, but this time around TOM CRUISE’s Ethan Hunt gets a welcome dose of humanity. The team are once again in a race against time to save the world. The cast, comfortably settled into familiar roles, are entertaining and Henry Cavill is an impressively menacing addition to the flick. CRAZY RICH ASIANS COMEDY. 120 MIN. 2018. 13DLP. This adaptation of Kevin Kwan’s bestseller hits all the right notes. Rachel (CONSTANCE WU) joins her boyfriend (HENRY GOLDING) on a visit to his home country for a wedding. She knows she’s going to be introduced to his family – but she’s shocked…

JAMIE FOXX said he was surprised by Taron Egerton’s singing on set. “The boy can absolutely sing,” he told US talk-show host Jimmy Fallon. Jamie played iconic R&B singer Ray Charles in 2004’s Ray, his Oscar-winning role. This movie comes 110 years after the first Robin Hood film, The Story of Robin Hood and His Merry Men (1908). Danish archer and YouTube star Lars Andersen was hired to give the cast archery lessons. His skills with a bow and arrow have earned him the nickname “the real-life Legolas”, after the elf in The Lord of the Rings. One of his skills is the ability to hit incoming arrows mid-air.…

HE MAY be just six years old but this little guy knows exactly what he wants to be by the time he’s 18: a self-made millionaire creating jobs for millions of unemployed young South Africans. And Omphile Mabitsela has already started the ball rolling. A little more than three months ago the Grade 2 pupil at Radford House – a small private school in Randburg, Joburg – founded his own stationery company, Quirk Quirk Inc, with the help of his mom, Prudence. It started out as a class project, the pair tells us, and they turned it into a little company when Omphile told his mom he wanted to be a businessperson. He’s always been a creative kid and for the project he made what he calls his quirk quirks,…

SHE used the last R13 in her purse to catch a taxi to the audition, then beat the odds to rise through the ranks of The Voice South Africa in 2016. And although Thembeka Mnguni didn’t win the competition the whole country knows who she is now. Her powerhouse voice landed her a contract with Universal Music and gigs around Mzansi and overseas too – but as wonderful as it all is, having a steady income and a bright future means a lot more to her than personal success and fulfilment of a dream. Because the 35-year-old single mom can now afford the fees for her seven-year-old son, Sabelo, to attend a special needs school. Sabelo is autistic and the challenges of raising him are many, she says. She isn’t…

Respect goes two ways. Don’t go around saying shush to an adult and expect them to walk away. If you disrespect people expect disrespect back. Babes wasn’t wrong. NOKULUNGA MAKHAYE Trash belongs in the trash can. Empty tins make a lot of noise. PEARL LWANDLE KHOZA Very stupid of Babes to record herself cursing the woman. MC FRANCOIS I would have lost my cool too. NOKUPHIWA NOH MKHATSHWA Nice one, Babes, that’s a public space and no one must tell you to shush like you’re a child in their house. PM MANYELE Ag, girl, such unnecessary drama to stay relevant. We all know shush and it’s not an insult! PETER NQOJANA MOKHOABANE Who shushes people at the airport? People mind their business in places like that. VUYISILE MCCABE You can…

FIGHT AGAINST FOOD WASTE Expect chefs to find even more creative ways to incorporate every part of an animal or plant into dishes. GREAT FOR YOUR GUT Demand for products rich in probiotics is still high. These include fermented or pickled foods like yoghurt, kombucha, kimchi, sauerkraut and pickles. HAWAIIAN DISHES This island’s cuisine, a melting pot of Polynesian, European and Asian influences, is still having a moment as the poké trend shows no sign of ending. MUSHROOMS, which pack an umami flavour punch, are set to become even more popular this year as they replace meat in dishes like burgers and pulled-pork sandwiches.…

Lip gloss  This continues to be on trend. Lip gloss comes in long-lasting, volumising and holographic textures. Pixie cut  Timeless, easy to maintain and perfect in the summer heat – expect to see even more people sporting this cut. Wet hair look  Seen on the red carpet and runways last year, this trend is set to remain popular in 2019 too. Minimalist with lashes  Minimal make-up with pronounced lashes, whether it’s done with mascara or fake lashes, is the next step in the no-make-up trend that’s been around for a few years. Crimped hair Our obsession with the ’80s is still going strong with the crimped hair trend set to continue. This look can be achieved with the wet hair look, or brush it out for volume.…

CLAIMING from insurance usually involves a level of trauma – either you’ve been in a crash or done something such as driven your vehicle into a wall or scraped it along a pillar in a parking garage. Thank heavens for insurance, you think – and then you’re hit with the excess bill. Even if you’re fully covered, you still might have to pay excess. If you didn’t pay excess your monthly premiums would be even higher. HOW DOES EXCESS KEEP MY PREMIUMS DOWN? If excess didn’t exist, people would claim for every little bump and scratch they got and insurance companies would be forced to hike premiums to cope, says Ernest North of insurance company Naked. Claims are administratively costly and adding an excess makes policyholders think twice before claiming.…

I FEEL LIKE A FAILURE Q I’m a 28-year-old woman from Joburg. I’m unemployed but I often take part-time jobs so I can pay my bills. I was recently dumped by my boyfriend of eight months after he went through my phone and saw group chats with my friends. There was nothing sexual and I never cheated on him, but I love social media and I’m always sharing fun things with my friends. He never liked me doing this and always got upset, even by innocent comments. He also didn’t like me going out when other men were around, even if they were my friends or colleagues. I constantly had to tell him where I was and what I was doing. I did my best to satisfy him and do…

THE MOTHERLAND “My favourite place I’ve travelled to is Africa,” KELLY ROWLAND told Us Weekly. “I’ve gone to Johannesburg, Kenya and so many parts of Nigeria.” She also posted pics of herself and son TITAN JEWELL WEATHERSPOON visiting Cape Town in November last year. THE SMALL SCREEN She’ll be in two TV series this year: reality show Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles, where she’ll be house-hunting, and American Soul, where she’ll play singer Gladys Knight. AN ODD ENCOUNTER “One time Taylor Swift walked past me [at an award show] and I’d had a shot of whisky, and I said, ‘Oh my God, you’re tall as f**k!’ I didn’t know how she’d react but she was so cool about it. That was an odd encounter.”…

IT ALL began with a jump. For months he’d been mesmerised by the majestic beasts, watching their every move as they cantered around the property. When his mother’s employer saw his interest in the animals she offered to teach him how to ride a horse and he leapt at the opportunity to learn. Oscar Ncube has since blazed a trail: he’s the first black rider to have competed in the 1,60m event at the South African Derby – the biggest horse racing event in the country. ‘I’m trying to get kids to realise it’s not only soccer that’s a sport’ Now the accomplished show jumper wants to open up the exclusive sport to township kids. “I’m trying to get kids to realise it’s not only soccer that’s a sport –…

MIRROR, mirror on the wall, who is the happiest celeb couple of all? Will 2019 be easy for them – or will it wreak its share of madness and mayhem? We posed this question to Margarita Celeste, a Cape Town-based astrologist and tarot-card reader – and while she doesn’t exactly have a mirror to ask, she did look to the stars to see what might be in store for these A-list lovers. BEYONCÉ & JAY-Z The power pair have long been dogged by reports of trouble in their relationship. This year 49-year-old Jay’s resolve to stay faithful to Bey (37) could really be tested. WHAT 2019 HOLDS FOR HER With kids Blue Ivy (7) and one-year-old twins Rumi and Sir on her hands, down-to-earth Virgo Bey will be keen to…

SELF-RESPECT means having pride and confidence in oneself. While it’s important to respect your partner, it’s also important to have respect for yourself, whether you’re single or dating. Self-respect is the key to building confidence and maintaining healthy relationships with other people throughout your life. Be kind and always make sure to be polite to everyone you meet during the day, from your spouse and children to your co-workers and friends to the checkout person at your local supermarket. Respect is the most important building block humankind has. You have to give respect to get it, and it is something everyone deserves. MASEDI FUSI, EMAIL…

SHE’S the ruthless matri -arch of a mining family and nothing will stop her from getting what she wants. Between trying to marry off her gay son to save her crumbling empire and plotting to have her stepdaughter and husband murdered, there’s no end to money-hungry Lindiwe Dlamini’s devious ways. She’s the villain everyone loves to hate – including Sindi Dlathu, the woman who brings this charismatic character to life. The talented actress plays the cold-hearted killer in The River and loves being the baddie. “She gets to do so many gory things, things I could never dream of doing! She’s the opposite of me, so much so I don’t recognise myself when watching the show on TV.” Sindi shocked fans when she announced she was leaving Muvhango (It’s time…

1 Acid-wash denim  We’re still harking back to ’90s grunge with the distressed acid-wash denim trend. The modern take goes beyond mom jeans by combining interesting shapes and hemlines. 2 Black Let’s face it, black will always be the new black, but this year make sure you stand out from the crowd by adding something extra. Wear it in a luxe material, such as lace, sequins or leather, or decorated with studded embellishments. 3 Tweed Coco Chanel made it an iconic material to use so many decades ago and tweed has endured to this day. This year sees a revival that takes it out of the boardroom and onto the streets with a modern twist. 4 Check This has been seen on Parisian fashionistas and runways around the world. And…

The main concern at this age is muscle decline, which can be tackled with weightbearing and resistance training to build strength. It’s admittedly harder at this age, but it’s still possible – as long as you choose something your body can cope with. Matbased exercises, Pilates and swimming all work well for this, Sikhakhane says. After 50 your balance and stability also decline, and if your bones are porous then you risk fractures if you fall. This means you need to keep working on your core muscles to help stability. Pholi suggests simple exercises that can be done at home like standing on one leg when you brush your teeth or walking heel to toe along a straight line on the floor. And if you need more motivation to get…

THE school holiday has ended and reality is sinking in – it’s bye-bye, beach and hello, books. While the start of a new school year is an exciting and busy time, it can also be nerve-racking for parents and children. Many moms and dads battle to get their kids out of holiday mode and back into a routine – and it’s not helped by a lack of enthusiasm from kids who are not naturally organised or motivated. You’re already girding your loins for the cries of, “Mom, I can’t find my socks/PTclothes/pencil bag!” Or maybe there’s a little kernel of dread in the pit of your stomach that you’re once again going to be faced with a child who’s anxious about school. “For kids who struggle with concentration – as…

ROBIN’S CREW English actor Taron Egerton stars in the latest Hollywood version of Robin Hood. The classic 14th-century folk tale tells the story of Robin of Loxley, a war-hardened Crusader who becomes a “noble outlaw” by stealing from the rich to give to the poor in revolt against the corrupt English crown. Oscar winner Jamie Foxx plays Robin’s Moorish mentor, Little John, and Ben Mendelsohn is the villainous Sheriff of Nottingham. GRITTY REMAKE It’s been nine years since the last Robin Hood remake, with Russell Crowe as the famous outlaw. Jamie said audiences shouldn’t expect Old English dialogue or men in tights. “The way they shot it was crazy, it looks as if you’re watching Zero Dark Thirty. We’re shooting with our bows but they computer-generated it so it’s rapid-fire,…
