Bonang Matheba sent fans into a frenzy when she posted pics of what appeared to be a diamond engagement ring on her ring finger. DRUM readers shared their thoughts about her new rock. She bought that ring for herself because she can afford it, let’s mind our own business. DAISY MAKGONGOANE She is our very own Naomi Campbell. She’s hot. That’s my girl.

SHE knew she had big shoes to fill. Our Perfect Wedding viewers were left heartbroken in December when it was revealed that former host Nomsa Buthelezi was leaving the show. Even though OPW changes presenters every 13 episodes, fans were still shocked – they had just gotten used to the Lock-down actress as the face of their favourite reality TV show. Nomsa had taken over from Thembisa Mdoda, who was so popular with fans she won the golden horn for best TV presenter in 2017. So when it was announced Vele Manenje would be taking over from Nomsa, she knew all eyes would be on her. “There’s pressure because it’s a big show – on primetime and on a Sunday when everyone is watching,” the actress and presenter tells DRUM.…

IT TOOK a life-changing illness to spark an idea he hopes will improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of people across South Africa. Neo Hutiri, a qualified engineer, was well on his way to carving a career for himself when disaster struck: he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and found himself joining the ranks of state patients forced to queue for hours on end to collect their medication. One day a light bulb went off in his head: what if he harnessed his engineering knowledge and on-the-ground experience to come up with a system to streamline the service? That’s how the Pelebox Smart Locker was born – and if Neo (30) has his way, every state patient will be able to get their medication at the touch of a few…

SKIN TYPES The first step is to figure out your skin type, says Evolve Day Spa manager Kim Franco. Your best option here is to consult a skincare professional, such as a dermatologist or skincare therapist, who’ll give you a detailed analysis and recommend suitable products. OILY SKIN This type of skin produces a lot of sebum, an oily secretion, resulting in a shiny or greasy appearance. Blackheads, breakouts and enlarged pores are common. COMBINATION SKIN You probably have an oily T-Zone (your brow, nose and chin) and normal-to-dry skin on the other areas. Enlarged pores and breakouts appear on the T-Zone, and dry areas can be itchy and irritated. DRY SKIN This type produces too little sebum and therefore lacks lipids (the skin’s natural fat) and lustre. Skin can…

MY FAMILY NEEDS HELP Q My mother is HIV-positive and got really sick last year because she wasn’t taking her medication. She stays with my 15-year-old brother who was born HIV-positive. I’m doing an internship away from home and I’m the only breadwinner. I’m trying to find a job closer to home to make things easier but nothing has come up yet. The problem is that after my mom got sick my brother started acting up – he doesn’t want to take his treatment anymore, he’s doing badly at school, he lies and steals, and comes homes very late. This stresses my mom, which affects her health. There’s no one who can help my mom. I’m thinking of leaving work to go home to be there full-time, but I think…

FOOT-IN-MOUTH What not to say during childbirth: Gosh, you’re lucky. I sure wish men could experience the miracle of childbirth. Do you think the baby will come before Monday night football starts? I hope you’re ready. The glamour shot photographer will be here in 15 minutes. If you think this hurts, I should tell you about the time I twisted my ankle playing soccer. That was the kids on the phone. Did you have anything planned for dinner? When you lie on your back you look like a python that has swallowed a wild pig You don’t need an epidural. Just relax and enjoy the moment. Oops! Which cord was I supposed to cut? Stop your swearing and just breathe. Your stomach still looks like there’s another one in there.…

FADLU DAVIDS JOINS PIRATES Former Maritzburg United coach FADLU DAVIDS has joined the coaching staff at Orlando Pirates following his sacking from the KwaZulu-Natal club in December. Davids joins the Buccaneers as a replacement for Benson Mhlongo who resumed coaching duties at TS Sporting. Davids will work alongside fellow assistant coach Rhulani Mokwena, under the guidance of Milutin Sredojević. Club chairperson Irvin Khoza said his new technical team represents a formidable partnership. “What was gratifying was that when I introduced the coach to the technical team there was an instant cordiality and rapport between them. It’s also quite exciting to have two emerging talents in Rhulani and Fadlu to complement each other.” KANE OUT UNTIL MARCH HARRY KANE, Tottenham Hotspur’s top scorer this season, is out of action until March.…

FOLLOWING the shocking documentary Surviving R Kelly, in which abuse survivors shared horrific details of R&B singer R KELLY’s alleged sex cult, many of the crooner’s collaborators have begun distancing themselves from him. So far Celine Dion, Lady Gaga, Chance The Rapper, The Pussycat Dolls and Ciara have all pulled – or are planning to pull – their collabs from streaming services. R Kelly has denied the abuse allegations. Comedian DAVE CHAPPELLE faced the singer’s “goons” after Kelly was insulted by a 2003 sketch that made fun of a sex tape where Kelly allegedly urinated on an underage girl. Dave, playing Kelly, sang the lyrics, “Said your body, your body is a port-o-potty.” The co-creator of Chappelle’s show, Neal Brennan, said in a recent interview that the singer “wanted to…

WHEN I started writing with a pen in primary school and made a mistake, I would try hard to erase it before submitting it to my teacher. I tried using chalk to erase my mistakes but that didn’t work so I used saliva, which worked but made a smudge and left holes in the pages. My teachers would beat me for being dirty, even though I was just trying to erase my errors. A kind-hearted teacher told me, “Anytime you make a mistake, just cross it out and move on.” Have you made mistakes in life? I have, so has everyone. Just cross it out and move on. Better things are ahead of you. MASEDI FUSI, JOHANNESBURG…

MANY people think it’s a good idea to go into a home sale together. You will probably qualify for a larger home loan because of your dual income, and therefore you’ll be able to afford a more expensive property. But what happens when you break up and you don’t want to co-own it any longer? We ask Charl Marais, an attorney at JS Marais Inc in George, to explain. WHAT TO DO IF ONE OF YOU WANTS TO KEEP THE PROPERTY It’s not possible for one person to just take over the existing home loan. The existing mortgage will have to be cancelled and a new one registered in the sole owner’s name. Of course, your income will determine whether you qualify for the loan. As with most things, there…

MY SISTER, THE SERIAL KILLER BY OYINKAN BRAITHWAITE (DOUBLEDAY) R245* At first glance this seems like the kind of book that could give you sleepless nights but, despite the catchy title, it’s not a creepy thriller. Although there’s not much suspense, this debut novel is original, captivating, clever and laced through with dark humour. Korede is her sister’s keeper. She watches out for her and cleans up after her killing sprees. Ayoola is the quintessential little sister: irresponsible and entitled. On top of this she’s drop-dead gorgeous, and I mean this literally – the men in her life mostly end up dead. The story is set in Lagos and the Nigerian author has such a knack for writing dialogue that the accents of her characters come through loud and clear.…

SIXTEEN years and 177 days – that’s how old he was when his boots hit the turf of a Premier League pitch for the first time. It was the start of a career that would make Cesc Fàbregas one of the greatest footballers in the world, a player dubbed The Master because of his uncanny ability to pass a ball and land it precisely at his teammates’ feet. He was “a conjuror, a creator, a tempo dictator who redefined the art of the assist”, The Guardian’s Sean Ingle writes. The statistics speak for themselves: in 350 appearances on British soil he scored 50 goals and clocked up 111 perfect assists. But the 31-year-old Spaniard has called time on his UK career – which he spent first at Arsenal, then at…

ANATII’S B BANGING -DAY HE SPENT his birthday in Cape Town with his mom, THOKO MNYANGO, who surprised her son while he was holidaying in the Mother City. Then when ANATII headed home his celeb friends treated him to a surprise party. RIKY RICK, SJAVA, DANNY K, NOMZAMO MBATHA and KHANYA MKANGISA were just some of the famous faces who raised a toast to the rapper at upmarket restaurant Rockets in Bryanston, Joburg. Guests were treated to Anatii’s signature drink, The Courvoisier Wave, and a performance by Ma Nala. “My favourite gift is the Zulu spear Sjava got for me,” Anatii (26) tells DRUM. He also loved the camera “someone close to me” gifted him – we suspect he’s talking about his girlfriend KAY-LYNNE CLOETE. The Thixo Onofefe rapper says…

IT’S that time of the year when reality has well and truly kicked in. The kids are back at school, the work deadlines have started coming, the bank balance is non-existent and the holiday glow has faded. So, as you can imagine, we welcomed the news that we should embrace carbs because of their health benefits: the good kind and in moderation, of course – but at this rate any good news is welcome! For too long all carbs have been cast as villains, something a recently published study says could be bad for our longevity. Read more on page 74 and get ready to tuck in to some toast! Until next week, THE DRUM TEAM We would love to hear your thoughts on matters close to your heart. Email…

HE SHOT to fame as a promising striker with a deadly right foot, yet he hasn’t once set foot on a soccer field since his return to home soil. But if his ex-girlfriend is to be believed, he’s been doing some sort of striking – on her body, she says. Former Bafana Bafana striker Tokelo Rantie returned to South Africa from Turkey four months ago with big plans to revive his flailing career with local side Cape Town City. But he hit a few personal snags and the club granted him indefinite leave in December to sort out the relationship problems that have been plaguing him – Tokelo’s marriage was on the rocks and his ex-girlfriend is accusing him of domestic abuse. His family believe his life is falling apart…

CELLULITE RIHANNA Cellulite is a problem for so many women of all shapes and sizes. Even pop superstar Rihanna (30) has been plagued by the cottage cheese effect on her skin. You’ve got to love this woman who never misses an opportunity to joke about her “fluctuating body type”. She seems totally cool with it, warts and all. “You want to have a butt, then you have a gut,” she told Vogue magazine recently. CAUSE About 80-90% of women develop signs of cellulite after their teens. Cellulite is mostly genetic, Bloemfontein dietician Sonelle Vermeulen says. It’s caused by the weakening of the connective tissue that keeps fat under the skin in position. It’s also caused by a slowdown in metabolism and poor blood circulation due to too little exercise. The…

HANGING WITH GOGO ISN’T it sweet that Aquaman star JASON MOMOA still makes time to hang out with his granny? The action man (39), whose superhero film smashed the $1 billion (R14 billion) mark at the international box office, posted a sweet Insta video of a visit to his home state of Iowa, where his grandmother, MABEL HOULT, lives. “I came home to see my grandma. She’s still got it.
