Minimise the risks by following these tips. Let boiled water cool for a few minutes before you pour it into your hot-water bottle. Use a hot-water bottle with a cover to protect your skin against the high temperature. Don’t fill your hot-water bottle up more than two-thirds. If it’s too full it might leak. Always make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so there’s no leakage. Hot-water bottles usually last for up to two years, but for safety reasons frequently check the elasticity of your bottle’s rubber. Don’t lie on top of hot-water bottles or sit on them as they can burst. Don’t use hot-water bottles for more than 20 minutes at a time. Kids tend to open things they shouldn’t, so it’s best not to give them hot-water…

Your body makes three types of blood cells – white blood cells to fight infection, platelets to help your blood clot, and red blood cells to carry oxygen around your body. Red blood cells contain an iron-rich protein called haemoglobin that gives blood its red colour. This protein helps the red blood cells take oxygen from your lungs to other parts of your body, and to carry carbon dioxide from other parts of the body back to your lungs so it can be exhaled. To make haemoglobin your body needs iron, vitamin B-12, folate and other nutrients found in the food you eat.…

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO RETIREMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA BY BRUCE CAMERON AND WOUTER FOURIE (PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE) R219* Most people are rich for a single day in their lives: the day they receive their retirement savings. This moment is more critical than many people realise –it marks the change from saving for retirement to drawing an income from savings that will ideally sustain them until they die. All too often, pensioners end up destitute because they make the wrong decisions once they retire. It is crucial for retirees to apply themselves to securing a sustainable income. This book, co-written by wellknown semi-retired journalist Bruce Cameron and respected financial planner Wouter Fourie, provides a straightforward and comprehensive overview of the vital issues that impact on retirement, such as taxation, investments, healthcare,…

WHEN it comes to money, 50 CENT is not a man to be trifled with, as BOW WOW has learnt. The rappers were enjoying a quiet evening at a strip club with friends – including Jermaine Dupri – as documented on the rapper’s Instagram feed. In videos posted by 50, Bow Wow can be seen hurling wads of cash at dancers. That money, said the rapper, was his cash, and while he brought it to the club for the ladies, he’s mad that Bow Wow went home with stacks of bills! “Oh s**t, this little N**** BOW WOW took the Money home with him,” the Power actor posted on Instagram. He followed that with, “@jermainedupri what kinda s**t is this, you brought this ni**a around man. He stealing the one’s…

ACTRESS and writer MINDY KALING says Marvel is “interested” in developing Ms Marvel, the comic publisher’s first Pakistani-American and Muslim superhero, for the big screen. In a recent interview, the Mindy Project star said she met with Marvel Studios to talk about Ms Marvel. “I think the people I’ve spoken to at Marvel are so excited about the character and I think that they’re trying to figure out what to do with it, and I told them I would help in any way because I truly love her,” she told MTV News. “They really seemed interested and I think they will probably do something. “Now that there’s like this streaming platform with them [Disney+, which launches later this year], it might be something like that, but I think they understand…

JUNE is Youth Month and July is Savings Month. It’s a good time to focus on creating the right attitude and encouraging the appropriate behaviour in young people so they’ll be empowered to manage their finances effectively. There are many advantages to saving money from a young age. It can help to establish a lifelong habit, and the earlier money is saved, the greater the opportunity to earn interest. You can use your savings to help pay for educational expenses, to buy something special or continue saving into adulthood. Saving money is simple, but it’s not often easy. You must take charge of your finances, resist the temptation to spend money, learn helpful saving techniques and hold yourself accountable for your actions.

AS SHE glided down the aisle, she was the picture of happiness. Her husband-to-be beamedat her, she could barely contain her delight at becoming his wife and romance filled the air as they said their I do’s. Dawn Thandeka King, the actress who plays MaNgcobo in the popular soapie Uzalo, was ever the professional as she shot these loved-up scenes. Nobody would have guessed that inside she was filled with anguish and pain at the demise of her own marriage. Just a few days after shooting the happy wedding sequence, her relationship with her businessman husband was declared officially over. “I am mourning the death of my marriage,” Dawn tells DRUM. “The pain is still there. It feels like I’m widowed.” The couple were married for 15 years. “But I…

FOR years it was a much-maligned entity, bemoaned and ridiculed by millions of consumers for poor service, inferior products and bad management. But just look at Telkom now. Far from being an ailing body draining the country’s coffers, the telecommunications company has emerged as an example to other state-owned entities (SOEs) that you can turn your fortunes around with strategic thinking, stability at board level and determination to diversify. The latest financial results are proof that Telkom deserves a gold star: a profit of R3,3 billion was recorded for the financial year ending in March – an almost unheard-of achievement in a country where SOEs are drowning in debt and dependent on government bailouts. FROM HOPELESS TO HOPEFUL Just five years ago, Telkom was in as much trouble as Eskom…

1 FIGURE OUT YOUR MONTHLY USAGE HABITS You might have a large data plan but find you don’t use that much data. Or you have a lot of call time but end up having to buy expensive out-of-bundle data before the end of the month. Most networks have apps that show your usage patterns – for example, whether you use SMSes, WhatsApp or data most. If you regularly buy airtime or data through your bank, it will also show you how much you use in a month. Once you’ve established what your monthly usage patterns are, compare the various packages to find the one that suits your needs. 2 GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE As a consumer, you have the right to be happy with your service provider – and if you…

WHEN her son was born Nthabiseng Nhlanhla was relieved to find out he had all his toes. She’d been worried because scans during her pregnancy had shown there might be a problem. Now here he was with 10 fingers and 10 toes – just like his twin brother. But as she gazed at baby Mnqobi she could see one striking difference that set him apart from his sibling, Philasande. Mnqobi’s feet and ankles bent inwards. Although it looked bad, she wasn’t too worried. Doctors warned he might be born with clubfeet, a condition which they told her was easily correctable. It could be fixed, she told herself – at least he had 10 toes. But a few days after his birth her hopes were dashed. The problem was much more…

Glitz, glam, gowns and crowns – it’s that time of the year again, when young women blessed with beauty and brimming with ambition vie for the title of loveliest in the land. And this year’s Miss South Africa contest will be bigger than ever, with 16 finalists instead of 12 and a record R3 million in prize money and sponsorships. The winner will receive R1m, the runner-up R250 000 and the rest of the top 16 will take home R25 000 each. Entries for the 61st Miss SA pageant opened last month, soon after organisers launched the Miss South Africa Light Up Your Dreams campaign alongside the so-called “Big 5” of the national pageant industry: former title holders Bokang Montjane-Tshabalala, Rolene Strauss, Liesl Laurie, Ntandoyenkosi Kunene-Mthethwa and Tamaryn Green.

IT’S taken a while, but MILEY CYRUS has belatedly apologised for “racially insensitive” comments she made about hip-hop back in 2017. Way back when in 2013 Miley flirted with hip-hop on her album Bangerz, which featured rap producer Mike Will Made-It and several rap artists. After the release of her 2017 album, Younger Now, which saw her go back to her pop roots, she said she was done with hip-hop. “I can’t listen to that anymore,” she told Billboard magazine. “That’s what pushed me out of the hip-hop scene a little. It was too much ‘Lamborghini, got my Rolex, got a girl on my c***.” In response to a YouTube video posted recently, calling her comments “racially insensitive”, the singer apologised for her remarks, saying it was “insensitive, as it…

Kelly Khumalo released an emotional statement about having had her name smeared for years, following reports that implicate four celebs in the murder of former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa at her mother’s house in 2014.

A breakup can present unique challenges to the couple concerned, their children and extended family. Experts advise that you approach this challenging time with a positive mindset and with everyone’s best interests at heart. “People have often invested many years in the relationship and suddenly have to let go of their mutual hopes, dreams and plans,” says Irene Motaung, a social worker who specialises in family and divorce mediation. “They also feel a loss of security – financially, emotionally and otherwise.” It can be like mourning a loved one and there is also a loss of a sense of belonging and identity, she says. “People start to ask themselves, ‘Who am I now that I’m losing my role in the family and have to detach from some relationships, especially with…

THE walk to the stage was short – but his journey to it has been long. The sounds of his childhood, growing up in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), inspired his music – especially his latest and most personal album, aptly titled Nostalgia. Tresor Riziki (32), his eyes hidden behind his trademark shades, accepted his third Sama, for Nostalgia, then thanked the people of his adopted home, South Africa. “Ten years ago I came here, as a refugee to Durban, and being here today, winning this award for the third time in a row is really overwhelming,” he told the crowd, who roared with approval. “I’m really grateful to South Africa for loving the music.” “This album was very personal and close to my heart,” he tells DRUM. “When…

We have been having many fights recently, because our community members say he’s having a relationship with our neighbour. I confronted the girl and she denied it, and I asked my husband and he said it was just a rumour. But I saw this girl’s number on my husband’s WhatsApp – we share a phone – and she was trying to make conversation with him. She suddenly stopped when she realised I also use the phone.

The little boy is scheduled to undergo three rounds of surgery over a period of about nine months. “The first surgery is to apply a special external fixator (a metal stability frame) to the femur (thigh bone), fibula (calf bone) and foot, and cut the Achilles tendon,” US-based orthopaedic surgeon Dr Dror Paley explained to Mnqobi’s parents. The first surgery for both legs is similar, but in addition to fusing the right fibula to the ankle bone in the second surgery, doctors will also fuse the upper fibula to the kneecap to form a knee joint. A second surgery will be conducted to move the fibula to the tibia (shinbone) to make one bone. “We also fuse the fibula to the ankle bone to keep the foot stable and at…

“This guy is so much bigger than hip-hop,” rapper Swizz Beatz said after Jay-Z was named the first billionaire rapper. “He holds the blueprint for our culture. A guy who looks like us, sounds like us, loves us, made it to something we always felt was above us. “If he’s a billionaire now, imagine what he’s going to be. Because he’s only just starting.” As Jay-Z himself put it, “I’m not a businessman. I’m a business, man.” Here’s what’s helping make up the rapper’s billion-dollar net worth: $410m ARMAND DE BRIGNAC CHAMPAGNE AND D’USSÉ COGNAC (R6,1bn) Jay-Z has used his music to sell the $300 (R4 500) gold bottles of Ace of Spades champagne since launching the brand in a 2006 music video.

KIM KARDASHIAN and KANYE WEST’s month-old baby boy, PSALM, is ready for his close up, and he’s gorgeous!

His siblings are sisters NORTH (6) and CHICAGO (1) and brother SAINT (3). “Kim absolutely loves being a mom and feels like her family is complete now, with two boys and two girls making it even,” a source told Us Weekly. “She feels like she spaced each child out just enough where it isn’t too overwhelming for her.” On Mother’s Day last month, Ye posted a message to Kim saying, “With the arrival of our fourth…

IT’S been 25 years since OJ SIMPSON’ s fall from grace, when the celebrated American football star was accused, then acquitted, of murdering his ex-wife NICOLE BROWN SIMPSON and her friend Ronald Goldman. “Life is fine,” Simpson told Associated Press in a recent interview from Las Vegas, where he now lives after his parole from prison on charges of armed robbery. The disgraced athlete said he doesn’t think much about what was dubbed the trial of the century. “We don’t need to go back and relive the worst day of our lives,” he said on the anniversary of the killings. “The subject of the moment is the subject I will never revisit again. My family and I have moved on to what we call the ‘no negative zone.’ We focus…

IT’S not often people will deny having an affair with BRAD PITT, especially if it’s widely believed to be true, but that’s just what ROBIN GIVENS has done. Mike Tyson, Robin’s ex, famously claimed the actress had an affair with Brad Pitt while they were married, between 1988 and 1989. “I was told that [Tyson] said he caught us in bed. Which never happened. Never, ever, ever,” she said during a recent interview. She explained that she and Brad, a friend, had been returning to her house after a movie screening when Tyson “caught” them in the driveway. Brad had guest-starred on her show Head of the Class in the late 1980s. “He claims that Brad said, ‘Don’t hit me!’” interviewer ANDY COHEN told Robin, to which she said, nope.…
