HE’S usually on the other side of the table, telling patients news that could change their lives forever. And when the tables were turned and he was on the receiving end of a devastating diagnosis, he knew he could handle it. As a doctor he was well aware of what lay ahead: the symptoms, the treatment and just how hard he would need to fight in his battle for survival. And then a major curveball was thrown Dr Sipho Bvuma’s way: his medical aid refused to pay for the drugs he knew could save his life. Sipho (49) had stage four brain cancer and asked the government medical-aid scheme, Gems, to pay for a special drug treatment called Keytruda – and was shocked when they turned him down. But Sipho,…

IT KEEPS you feeling full for longer, is an important energy source, helps your body to absorb vital vitamins and minerals from your food and plays a role in hormone balance. But we also know not all fat is created equal. Here’s how to tell the good from the bad plus a selection of recipes that offer delicious ways to eat the right kinds. FISH WITH TOMATOES AND OLIVES Oily fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. When you fry fish, use extra-light rather than virgin or extra-virgin olive oil, which have a low smoking point, making them unsuitable for cooking at high heat. SERVES 4-6 PREPARATION: 15 MIN COOKING: 15-20 MIN extra-light olive oil or coconut oil 1 onion, chopped 4 garlic cloves, crushed 1 small red pepper, diced…

South Africa is home to nearly 400 Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges, and they offer a wide range of options, courses and programmes that have been developed to respond to scarce skills needed by employers. Courses vary in duration from a short course of a few hours to formal diploma courses of three years. The cost of the courses also vary, but they’re subsidised by the department of higher education and training to the tune of about R8 billion annually, and there are bursaries available for them too. TVET colleges are a great option for: Learners over the age of 16 who have passed Grade 9, have left school and wish to study further. To complete any tertiary education you’ll require a minimum of an NQF 4,…

THE festive season has come and gone – and so too has the bulk of your bucks. Now Januworry sets in – how are you ever going to make it through to the end of the month? Here are a few short-term remedies to help tide you over during this often-trying time of year. DO AN AUDIT Work out how much money you have left for the month – it may be a grim task but at least you’ll know exactly how much you have to spend each day. Try to avoid taking on extra debt, such as a personal loan, which needs to be paid back over a certain period. Taking on extra debt will mean you’ll be in an even worse position this time next year. CONSIDER AN…

Elijah Price, aka Mr Glass – the wheelchair-bound, Machiavellian super-villain of Unbreakable – returns with even snazzier shiny purple suits in Glass. Samuel L Jackson reunites with Bruce Willis, who returns as heroic superhuman David Dunn in this film that’s the third in a trilogy. The first flick, Unbreakable, was released in 2000 and the second film Split, which wasn’t officially announced as a sequel, came out in 2016. Glass finds David pursuing The Beast (one of James McAvoy’s freaky villain personalities from Split) as Mr Glass is revealed to be a puppet master who holds secrets critical to both men. “I just loved the complexity of Elijah,” Samuel said. “I love that he has his mom that understands and knows who he is. “I love that he’s an extremely…

Beasts such as the camel are adapted to survive in hot deserts. These animals can survive for seven days without water and can cross great distances to an oasis (a fertile spot in a desert where there’s water). They can also survive without food for three weeks thanks to the fat stored in their humps. Many desert animals get all the water they need from the food they eat. Birds of prey and lizards get their water from their prey, and herbivores such as camels get it from plants. Desert animals regulate their body temperature so they don’t perspire and lose water. One way of doing this is to dig an underground shelter. A hole of about 40cm deep is well insulated against heat and cold. Inside, the temperature remains…

PROTEAS IN TOP FORM In a series that isn’t without its fair share of drama, the national cricket team claimed victory over Pakistan. The Proteas took a 2-0 lead in the three-match Test series with their 9-wicket win within four days at Newlands, Cape Town. The visitors bemoaned the state of the pitch, blaming it for the loss. Unfazed Proteas captain FAF DU PLESSIS said the pitch had been challenging on the first two days but there were rewards for batsmen. “If Pakistan batted well yesterday [day one], today and tomorrow would have been good batting wickets. It flattened out and the ball got soft. It was tough on day two but we scored close to 400 runs,” he said. ITU OUT FOR THE SEASON Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana…

WE’LL always champion body positivity here at DRUM, and in this issue there are two examples of how our bodies can be celebrated. One showcases various celebs who keep their bodies fit and strong all year long (not just before December rolls around or just after the festive season flab has us all depressed). Be inspired by them on page 86. But even better are the women on page 16 who braved serious scrutiny to show off their beautiful bodies, lumps and bumps and all. We salute them for showing what real women look like. It certainly took courage to show off their so-called “imperfections” – but in doing so they were just perfect. What do you think of what they did? Tell us at letters@drum.co.za Until next week, THE…

IT MUST be in their DNA – that little extra something that helps them to sparkle and shine whenever a camera turns their way. And a lucky thing they have one another too, seeing as the entertainment industry can sometimes be a difficult place. DRUM catches up with some of the country’s celebrity siblings and finds out what makes them tick. THE MAMPOFUS If looks could kill, this family would be deadly! Twins Nkokheli “Oros” and Prince (28) and their sister, Lunathi (31), are not only ridiculously good-looking, they’re super talented too.

HE’S seen it happen over and over again: a soccer player gets injured or retires and loses his bread and butter, scrounging around for any job to make ends meet. The money the player made when he was in demand on the field has all been frittered away on the trappings of fleeting wealth and the future looks bleak. But Harold Ndlovu is determined this won’t happen to him. The Polokwane City goalkeeper is equipping himself well for the years when a soccer ball and a goal net are no longer part of his life – by loading up on education. Harold (28) is going into the third year of his LLB and already has an information science degree under his belt. “When you come from humble beginnings, you try…

Saturated fat contains a high percentage of a certain type of fatty acid molecule. It includes the so-called white fat found in red meat and under chicken skin. Don’t eat too much of this type. The exception is coconut oil – although it’s a saturated fat, its unique molecular structure helps lower cholesterol. Unsaturated fats are either monounsaturated or polyunsaturated. They’re mostly good fats as they contain omega-3 fatty acids, which help control hunger pangs. Foods containing unsaturated fats include avos, nuts, seeds, olive oil and oily fish such as pilchards, sardines, snoek, mackerel, trout and salmon. Nuts have been linked to a lower risk of heart disease and help to lower cholesterol. They’re also protein-rich. Trans fats are the super-villains and should be avoided. They’re mostly artificially produced and…

SHE WON’T MOVE OUT Q I’m 25 years old. I’m working and renting a small flat with one bedroom. About seven months ago I let my friend move in because she was feeling down. She’d split up with her boyfriend, she didn’t like her job and she didn’t like the people she was living with. I said she could stay for a bit, and sleep on the sofa, until she got her life together – thinking it would be one or two months at most but she’s still with me and I don’t see her doing anything to find somewhere else to live. How can I tell her I want her to move out without hurting her feelings and ruining our friendship? FRUSTRATED, SMS A It’s sad when people who…

EVERYTHANGS CORRUPT BY ICE CUBE A new album by Cube – his first in eight years – is no longer the hotly anticipated drop his genius ’90s albums were but he remains an intense lyrical force. The shock value in his most provocative rhymes has long dissipated but there’s no denying the intensity on tracks such as Arrest the President and Chase Down the Bully – aimed at Prez Trump and the revival of the USA’s right-wing movement.…

THE MELODY BY JIM CRACE (PICADOR) When elderly crooner Alfred Busi – Mister Al to his dwindling fan base – is attacked in his ramshackle seaside villa he swears the assailant was a boy and not an animal as some claim. And a second attack confirms his conviction the surrounding woods are home to fourlegged as well as two-legged predators, people who drift there from the town’s poorer suburbs. The widower is dealt a further blow when he discovers his cherished family home is to be demolished by his ambitious nephew to make way for an upmarket new housing development. But the first step towards gentrification is to get rid of whatever is lurking in the woods . . . How we deal with those on the outskirts of society…

ALL dreams have a price tag, and the cost is almost always higher than a person expects to pay. Successful people never say, “Getting to the top was much easier than I anticipated.” Everyone who has a dream will learn you’ll never know the complete cost up front. You only find out what it will be as you take the journey. Dreams are often depicted as unreasonable, illogical and unattainable by society. But these very dreams and thoughts are the things that make life worth living and fantastic all at the same time. We owe it to ourselves to wake up and follow the desire of the heart, regardless of what those around us say. We must live life the way we feel we should rather than how we’re told…

HIS movements are graceful and effortless as he glides across the stage in perfect time with the music. Like the best dancers, Musa Motha makes his elegant elevations and breathtaking twists look easier than they are. But there’s something that sets this young man apart from the rest and makes his performance all the more remarkable: not only is he missing a leg, he’s incorporated a crutch into his on-stage feats. Musa (23) is part of a group of groundbreaking international dancers at the Vuyani Dance Company in Newtown, Joburg, where he dances, choreographs and produces his own music for shows. He’s also won awards at dance competitions across the country, including the Gauteng Matjeko Dance Festival, Dance Against All Odds and the Red Bull Dance-Off. So passionate is Musa…

You can hang it on its own or group smaller tiles together, as we did on the opposite page, for greater impact.

It’s up to grizzled underwater rescue veteran Jonas Taylor (JASON STATHAM) to prevent it from gorging itself at a buffet of human beachgoers.

‘He’s the complete opposite of Mourinho’ A FEW weeks ago, even die-hard Manchester United fans were ready to abandon their beloved club for good. But then José Mourinho got the sack, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was called up – and, boy, what a change. The 45-year-old Norwegian, a former United player, is supposed to be warming the seat as caretaker manager but fans want him to be given the job and it’s easy to see why. Mourinho simply couldn’t replicate his previous successes. Fans will recall he brought home silverware for Porto, Inter Milan and Real Madrid, and took Chelsea to Premier League glory three times in his two separate stints at Stamford Bridge. But after his third dismal season at United, club bosses decided the Red Devils and the…
