SHE played the villainous vixen so well even her friends were terrified of her. And being misjudged has happened on other fronts too – people think she’s had it easy all her life because of her looks. But this simply isn’t true, Buhle Samuels says. “There are people who play and use that to their strength – I don’t,” she tells DRUM. The curvaceous actress is a household name thanks to her role as femme fatale Matshidiso Mofokeng in Muvhango, but she quit the popular show last year to take a much-needed break from acting. Now, she’s back with a bang. Buhle is stirring things up on Imbewu: The Seed, where she plays the love rival of Leleti Khumalo’s character. Her star is on the rise, yet she feels her…

CAN PRIVATE SCHOOLS EXPEL KIDS OVER UNPAID FEES? Q Are private schools subjected to the same rules as public schools in South Africa? Can they expel a child when the parents can’t afford the school fees? ANONYMOUS, MIDRAND Q Children have a right to education. However, children don’t have a right to a private education. A parent enters into a contract with a private school and if they can no longer afford the school fees, it’s best they remove the child. At public schools, a child can attend even if their fees haven’t been paid. At a private school, a child can be expelled if the fees aren’t paid. Children have a right to education but not to a private education CHILD CONTRACT Q At what age can a child…

MOTOGP 19 PS4, XBOX ONE, PC Developer Milestones’ latest effort in its MotoGP franchise is its best yet by far – the bikes are both easy enough to hop on to and truly difficult to master. The many new options include a historic mode that lets players take part in some of MotoGP’s best seasons and rivalries.

The only place it falls short is in the variety of action on offer, even though its…

GONE are the days when models were a variation of a theme – tall, sleek, lithe and long limbed, practically cut from the same glossy cloth. These days an increasing variety of faces and figures are taking their place on the runways of the world’s fashion capitals and covers of glossy magazines. The latest, Aaron Philip, an 18-year-old disabled trans woman, made history by appearing on the cover of fashion magazine Paper. She also made her catwalk debut at designer Willie Norris’ show in New York after being awarded a sought-after modelling contract from Elite Model Management. Elite picked Aaron as a rising star – and it is famous for turning the likes of Heidi Klum, Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks into supermodels. Naomi is Aaron’s all-time hero and the…

PARENTS, both mothers and fathers, must not be shy or ashamed to talk to their teenage girls about periods. Many young girls feel all alone, even though their parents are still alive. They need someone to talk to about the changes they are going through, emotionally and physically. Many teenage girls don’t know how to handle their periods. Even now, in 2019, periods are still thought of as a dirty secret that should be hidden. Every time these girls see a stain on their sheets or underwear they become ashamed. Carrying sanitary pads everywhere they go is shameful to them. But what is really shameful is our ignorance as parents. Why are we not empowering our daughters with knowledge to make them understand that periods mean life? Open up to…

A criminal record is not automatically expunged. The onus is on the person who has been wrongfully arrested to clear their name, says advocate Mofokeng Lesala, a senior lecturer at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. As soon as you are arrested and detained, your name is captured on the police system. “The South African Police Service normally keeps the criminal record on its files but there are also a number of private companies that keep it,” he says. “This means someone’s name can be removed from the police system but it’s likely to come up on the private company’s database when a background check is done.” It’s not clear how these private companies obtain the information but Lesala says they don’t update their records regularly and so it becomes difficult to…

THE LIE DETECTOR A dad buys a lie-detector robot which slaps people when they lie. He decides to test it at dinner. “Son, where were you today?” “At school,” the son says. The robot slaps the boy. “Okay, okay! I watched a movie at my friend’s house.” “What movie?” the dad asks. “Toy Story,” the son replies, receiving another slap. “Okay, fine! It was a naughty movie!” “What! When I was your age I didn’t watch naughty movies,” the dad says. The robot slaps him too. “Ha! He’s certainly your son,” the mom says. The robot turns around and slaps her too! LOVE AND MARRIAGE Love is holding hands in the street. Marriage is holding arguments in the street. Love is talking about having children. Marriage is talking about getting…

BEING asked to be a godparent to a family member or friend’s newborn baby is an honour. But sometimes godparents believe this makes them the child’s legal guardian too, and this isn’t the case at all. Godparents have no legal or financial responsibility towards their godchildren if the parents die. Here’s everything parents need to be aware of to ensure their minor kids are taken care of if they die. THE GODPARENT The roles of godparents vary between cultures and families. Traditionally, it was a religious function with the godparent informally responsible for a child’s religious education. Today, it’s mostly an honorary position for a good friend or family member who can be a social and spiritual example for the child. The expectation is that the godparent will be interested…

BACK in the ’60s, the Cold War between the US and the then-Soviet Union spilled over into fierce competition for bragging rights in the space race. By 1961, the Russians had conducted the first successful rocket launch and put the first human in space, so when President John F Kennedy announced that America planned to put a man on the moon before the decade was out, the race was on. The pressure to be first saw both sides cutting corners and taking risks, with fatal consequences for the first crews. But the US had a secret weapon in its arsenal: behind the scenes, the work of a group of brilliant black female mathematicians quietly tipped the odds in favour of Apollo 11’s giant leap into history. Solving XX Katherine Johnson…

HE COULD see the disappointment in their eyes. To them, he was a failure – a star who was beloved across Mzansi and had screaming fans on their feet at every gig. Now he was back ekasi and he didn’t even have a car. He could tell what the people in his hometown of New Brighton in Port Elizabeth were thinking: it wasn’t supposed to be this way, from riches back to rags. Why on Earth would he give it all up to come back here? “Ekasi people looked at me as if I had failed them,” says iFani, who was once one of SA’s biggest stars. The rapper, real name Mzayifani Mzondeleli Boltina (37), had been a regular on TV and on red carpets, and had won many awards…

HE STILL can’t believe it happened to him. Being in an out-of-control lift, speeding towards the 26th floor, and a woman’s chilling screams – it felt like an out-of-body experience. When Zwelethu Mambane took a lift to the ground floor of his Johannesburg apartment building one Sunday morning he couldn’t have imagined he’d be wheeled into a hospital a few hours later. Instead of the lift going down, something happened that caused it to shoot upwards rapidly. As the lift came to a crashing halt on the top storey of the high-rise apartment complex in Doornfontein, Johannesburg, where he lives, he hit his head and blacked out for a few minutes. When he regained consciousness he could hear screams – and he realised it was the woman who’d been in…

Riëtte Oosthuizen, a family law practitioner from Pretoria, says the husband, wife or spouse (including gay or lesbian partners) brings the application in terms of Rule 43 of the Supreme Court Act 59 of 1959. “It is brought by way of an affidavit where you explain under oath to the court why you cannot wait for the divorce to finalise before you get relief,” she says. The applicant can also set out what type of relief they’re seeking, for example maintenance for themselves, maintenance for children, the residence of the children, contact rights with the children, a cost contribution and so on. Oosthuizen says recently a court ordered in terms of a Rule 43 application that the one party must in the interim contribute towards the legal costs of the…

Always wash your exercise gear in cold water and go easy on detergents as harsh soaps can damage these delicate fabrics. Use half your regular dose of washing powder or liquid and don’t use fabric softener. Be sure to wash the items separately from your everyday wear, or consider putting your sports bras and tanks in a mesh bag or pillowcase. Wondering how you’re going to get your sweaty workout gear smelling fresh if you’re using less detergent? If your exercise clothes are really rank from an intense workout, soak them in a mixture of water and vinegar before you launder them. You can also put vinegar (or a few tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda) into the wash. A tumble dryer can warp or shrink your gym gear. Also –…

SHE MADE ME CHEAT Q I’ve been with my girlfriend for more than five years. Our relationship started great, but somehow over the years she became very insecure. She has accused me of not loving her and we’ve fought a lot. She always questions me about what I’m doing and thinks I’m seeing other girls. I’ve talked to her about this but she doesn’t want to accept my word. She simply doesn’t trust me. I do love her and I’ve never done anything wrong – until now. I recently cheated on her but I feel like she’s pushed me into doing this. I’d like to work things out with her but I don’t know how. VZ, EMAIL A You shouldn’t blame your girlfriend for your actions. Regardless of how much…

CANCER 21 JUN – 21 JUL Your personal relationship seems to be pulling the strings of your mood this week. Partnership obligations interfering with your personal needs or bumping heads over little niggles could make you rather sulky. It’s, however, also a time where he/she can make you feel safe and brighten your day. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 47, 21, 29, 31, 35, 5 LEO 22 JUL – 22 AUG If you’re a true Leo self-confidence is probably in ample supply. It’s, however, a week where doubt and fear could be inhibiting factors in your life. Whether reservations about your professional success creep in, someone else challenges your leadership skills or you question your popularity, you may feel somewhat deflated. Bear in mind that mental Mercury is in retrograde in your…

ORIGINALS BY PRINCE The Purple One was red-hot in the early 1980s, crafting not only his signature hits but writing songs (some under a pseudonym) for many other artists, including Sinéad O’Connor and The Bangles. The tracks on this third album from the late singer’s vault sound familiar and are often eerily similar to the hit versions. The highlight is You’re My Love, written for Kenny Rogers – a great song that Prince does brilliantly.…

Actress, comic and straight-talker Amanda Seales – you’ll remember her as Tiffany in Insecure – pulls no punches in her first stand-up special. “‘I Be Knowin’ is 37 years of finding the funny, culminating in an hour . . . my first special, even that much more special,” she said ahead of its release. “Being a stand-up comic is an honour I don’t take lightly because I consider humour to be a superpower that allows us to bear the weight of issues and concepts that otherwise seem so much bigger than us.” Amanda, who has a master’s degree in African-American studies, was part of the early-2000s R&B group Floetry, appeared on MTV as a VJ and hosts a podcast called Small Doses. Her non-musical passion has always been comedy, she…

Cricket is a ball-and-bat game between two teams of 11 players each. The aim is to score more points (runs) than the other team. A match is divided into innings. During an innings, one team gets the chance to bowl (pitch the ball) while the other team bats (hits the ball) and guards its wickets. When a bowler has pitched six balls at a batsman, he’s completed an over, and another bowler gets a turn. Two players of the batting team try to make as many runs between the two wickets until one of them is caught out, either by a fielder catching a ball the batsman has hit or by the bowler hitting the batsman’s wicket with the ball, causing the bails to fall off. That player is replaced…

DITUMELO “Tumelo” Michael Zitha was born in a small township in Tsakane, Brakpan in Gauteng. Today he lives out his dreams at Vlakfontein Farm in Grootvlei in Mpumalanga, cultivating the land. After completing high school, Tumelo attended Buhle Farmers’ Academy where he completed a crop production course in June 2007. In August that year, Tumelo had his lucky break. “While I was still studying at Buhle Academy, Tongaat Hulett Starch [Africa’s largest producer of starch, glucose and related products] selected 10 students from the academy and I was part of the group,” Tumelo says. “In the 2007 to 2008 season we went to Kliprivier to do practicals where we planted 110 hectares of maize,” the 31-year-old farmer adds. During the season, Tongaat Hulett Starch assisted the students with registering a…

THROUGHOUT his career only one thing has given him sleepless nights. It wasn’t being knocked out of the Fifa World Cup on home soil in 2010, letting a rival striker through or even finding himself between clubs. For Siboniso “Pa” Gaxa it was the thought of becoming a cautionary football tale. You know the one – the superstar footballer who had the world at his feet and millions in the bank but a few years into retirement has nothing to show for his accomplishments but faded memories, forgotten friends and no moola. Which is why he’s always had one eye on the future and a deep desire to arm himself with the one thing that would stand him in good stead long after his playing days were a distant memory:…
