HIS office on the sixth floor of the provincial legislature building in Kimberley is strikingly unremarkable. There are no portraits of the new premier on the wall and nothing flash or fancy about the place – the desk, strewn with documents and files, is like every other hard-working person’s space. And this is the way Northern Cape premier Zamani Saul wants it. He’s here to do a job, not splash cash around. There will be no unnecessary red carpet events on his watch, no luxury vehicles for him and his officials and no credit card splurges. His predecessor, Sylvia Lucas, used her state credit card to buy R50 000 worth of fast food during her first 10 weeks in office but Saul is cut from a different cloth. And it’s…

SINCE childhood she knew she was different from other kids. Azara Raphael’s journey to truly become herself, as a transgender woman in South Africa, has been a painful one marked by abuse from relatives and discrimination in her community. Now she’s sharing her story as a beacon of hope to others. She wants people to know there are many transgender women out there, and they’re just like everyone else. “We have careers and families, and the only thing we can’t do is bear our own children, but we are who we are.” Azara (34) has always known she is a woman in a male body. During her childhood she had the unflinching love and support of her parents. “I have always been comfortable with myself and my sexuality because of…

1 MYTH If you have oily skin, you don’t need to moisturise. FACT Skin needs an equal amount of water and oil. If it’s oily, which is more common in warmer months, it means your skin is producing more oil than needed and ought to be balanced with a water-based product. So instead of skipping moisturiser completely, choose a light, water-based moisturiser that will balance the oil production. 2 MYTH Putting on makeup every day is bad for your skin. FACT Wearing normal makeup daily shouldn’t be an issue if you remove it properly before you go to bed and maintain a good skincare routine. Most makeup products don’t contain harmful ingredients that will affect the appearance or wellbeing of your skin. 3 MYTH Sleeping with makeup on will give…

You’re in control of your body and you should never be forced to have sex. If it happens, inform a trusted adult and don’t blame yourself. Don’t do it after using drugs or alcohol – you need a clear head to make the decision to have sex for the first time. If you do decide to have sex, make sure you understand how to use birth control and know about STIs so you can protect yourself. Talk to your partner beforehand about what you want the experience to be. Discuss creating the right environment and taking it slow so you go only as far as you want to.…

In May the actress received Eritrean citizenship. “Now I got my citizenship I can come and see my family when I want to see my family.” GROWING UP WAS HARD Her mom had a traumatic brain injury in a car crash and came home a different person, she said. “I swore she had a demon in her.

It’s official: LIL NAS X’s Old Town Road (featuring Billy Ray Cyrus) has overtaken Mariah Carey’s 1995 duet with Boyz II Men, One Sweet Day, to become the longest-running Billboard Hot 100 No 1 single of all time!

A STATE of flux – that’s probably the best way to describe South African cricket right now. First there was the disaster of the ICC Cricket World Cup, followed by the sacking of the coach and his entire management team. Then batting maestro Hashim Amla and bowling sensation Dale Steyn retired – and all this shortly before the Proteas face India in September and October. In December World Cup winners England arrive on our shores for a tour, so we’re going to have to sort ourselves out soon. Whichever way you look at it, it’s safe to assume the next few years won’t be plain sailing for the Proteas. STABILITY AND FRESH BLOOD Amla and Steyn, who said he’d still be available for ODIs and T20Is, leave big boots to…

HALLE BAILEY, the live-action incarnation of Ariel in Disney’s upcoming The Little Mermaid remake, says she isn’t letting the haters get her down. This comes after racist comments about her casting. “I feel like I’m dreaming and I’m just grateful and I don’t pay attention to the negativity. I just feel like this role was something bigger than me and greater and it’s going to be beautiful. I’m just so excited to be a part of it.” The Chloe x Halle singer isn’t the only mermaid in the ocean, though. Disney also has a live musical TV version coming up in November, with a powerhouse cast that includes Queen Latifah as the evil Ursula, Auli’i Cravalho (who voiced the title character in Moana) as Ariel, and musician Shaggy as Sebastian…

ENGLISH is a medium of instruction at our schools and it’s also a universal language. It’s important our children understand and speak the language fluently if they are to get ahead in life. But it’s not acceptable for young people to use English to be disrespectful towards their parents or grandparents. Many elderly people who didn’t go beyond primary school level don’t understand English very well. When they address their children, they speak to them in their language. For children to respond in English is disrespectful. Children need to know that being better educated than their parents doesn’t mean they should disrespect them. Your parents put you in school so you can be employable when you graduate. Continue to show them respect by speaking to them in the language they…

FIRST there was Gareth Cliff who was suspended from 5fm after interviewing Jesus”. Then DJ Sbu was sent packing from Metro FM for promoting his energy drink at the Metro FM Awards. And who can forget Phat Joe being axed from Radio 2000 for making homophobic comments? South Africa has no shortage of jocks being kicked off air, but up until recently DJ Fresh has largely toed the line. Then the popular radio personality found himself under fire for using foul language on air and his future in radio became the talk of the town after he was suspended from Metro FM. But Fresh (47), fed up with the drawn-out disciplinary procedure, decided to cross over to 947 where he now heads up the radio station’s drive-time show. It’s the…

WHAT a difference a day makes. When she woke up on Women’s Day it was with butterflies in her stomach and a dream in her heart. Fast forward 24 hours and Zozibini Tunzi finds herself in a luxury hotel suite, the woman of the moment, her beautiful face plastered all over newspapers and news sites. She’s also become an overnight social media sensation. “Waking up as Miss South Africa meant waking up to 44 000 [new] Instagram followers, which is insane, but I guess it shows just how big a platform this is,” the newly crowned beauty queen tells DRUM from her suite in The Maslow hotel at Time Square, Pretoria. “I think that was when it first dawned on me how much my life has changed.” The 25-year-old is…

SHE’S A CHEATER Q My wife and I attend the same church as a married woman who’s known for lying and cheating. Ever since she got married more than 20 years ago she’s been cheating on her husband with various men, especially those who hold positions of power. My problem is I know of three boyfriends – one was her college mate, another her former lecturer and then her present one. I often see her with this new boyfriend when her husband is working far away from home. He only comes back on weekends. It’s said she actively prevents him from getting transfers to be nearer to home so she can continue with her adultery. She can do this because she works at the same place and knows the right…

QUEENIE BY CANDICE CARTYWILLIAMS (SIMON & SCHUSTER) R389* Hilarious, mildly erotic and fiercely feminist – Queenie is just the book for all the black women out there trying to navigate their way through a world that, in most cases, wasn’t designed for them and rarely truly celebrates them. Queenie Jenkins is a 25-year-old Jamaican-British woman living in London, straddling two cultures and feeling like she doesn’t truly belong to either. She works at a national newspaper where she’s constantly forced to compare herself to her white middle-class peers. After a messy break-up from her long-term white boyfriend, Queenie seeks comfort in all the wrong places and through flashbacks we get to see how truly messed up her relationship was. It examines interracial dating and the complications that arise. South Africans…

Hash held top spot in the world rankings for Test batsmen and ODIs at the same time – the first player after Australian Ricky Ponting to manage this. “His success in so many facets of the games is unique,” Fanie de Villiers says. “For example in ODI cricket, to be the fastest to get to 2 000, 3 000, 4 000, 5 000, 6 000 and 7 000 runs . . . This also shows he’s one of a kind.” Amla will also be remembered as one of cricket’s true gentlemen. 9 282 Test runs – best among SA players after Jacques Kallis (13 206) 149 His Test score against New Zealand in April 2006. 124 Tests, 181 ODIs 8 113 ODI runs – best among SA players after AB…

TENNIS superstar SERENA WILLIAMS is once again topping Forbes magazine’s list of the highest paid women in sport – for the fourth year in a row. Serena earned an impressive $29, 2 million (R442m) between June last year and this year, with just $4,2m (R63,5m) of that coming from prize money. Although she plans to continue playing at least through next year, the champ is already planning for her future with a clothing line, Serena, as well as launching jewellery and beauty product lines by the end of 2020, Forbes reported. Naomi Osaka, who shot to superstardom when she beat Serena at last year’s US Open final and then won the Australian Open earlier this year, also made the list with earnings of $24,3m (R367m) making her only the fourth…

THEY would have celebrated a decade of marriage this month. But instead, days shy of the milestone, their partnership came to a shocking end. For nine years Lira and her manager husband Robin Kohl seemed to live in perfect harmony. The record label boss helped the velvet-voiced singer produce hit after hit, proudly watched her perform for former American president Barack Obama and was firmly in her corner when she was a judge on The Voice SA. Now she’s making new memories as a single woman. Lira (40) announced her separation from Robin a few days before what would have been the couple’s 10th anniversary. She doesn’t want to go into the details of what caused the split, but she’s taking things in her stride. “It is well,” she tells…

SHE’S anxious as she arrives at our offices. She bites her fingernails and her cellphone rings off the hook. Tebogo “PinkyGirl” Mekgwe looks a far cry from her usual slay queen self. Two hours before meeting us, she explains breathlessly, she received notifications on her phone that someone had fraudulently taken R6 000 from her bank account. “I am so stressed, you have no idea. This person started with R100, then R3 000 and another R3 000. I had to call the bank now and block my card.” Every time her phone beeps, she jolts. The thought of someone helping themselves to her bank account sends shivers down her spine. ‘I’ve always wanted to be a DJ’ “I am very careful with money and I work hard for it,” PinkyGirl…

BLAME Tom Cruise. The star of the Mission: Impossible movies makes disguises and prison breaks look easy – put on a mask and wig and bluff your way out of trouble. But Brazilian drug lord Clauvino “Shorty” da Silva learnt the hard way that movie magic works better on the silver screen than it does in real life. In what’s being described as one of the most audacious attempted prison escapes of all time, Da Silva tried to sashay out of the Gericinó maximum security facility in Rio de Janeiro disguised as his 19-year-old daughter, Ana Gabriele Leandro da Silva. The disguise was elaborate. He swopped clothes with the teenager, changing into her pink T-shirt and tight jeans, and wore a long dark wig – but the icing on the…

CAN I KEEP MY HOME AFTER DIVORCE? Q I’m considering a divorce and want to keep our house. Am I forced to sell, or can I keep it? You previously advised someone that they had the option to buy their partner out. What if I don’t have the money, want to stay in the house and my husband is the one who applied for the divorce?

EVERY parent dreams of giving their children the best education possible, equipping them with a solid foundation to unlock future opportunity and prosperity. But the harsh reality is tertiary education costs a small fortune. Fees are one thing but accommodation, books, travel, living expenses and study aids, such as laptops, need to be included too, and they can blow the family budget. Funding is often needed, so here are three options. 1 GOVERNMENT FUNDING The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NFSAS) awards bursaries to students with academic potential who don’t have the funds to study. General requirements for application: You must be a South African citizen. Your household’s total annual income must be less than R350 000. You must have completed Grade 9 and 10 in order to study…

Before he reached enlightenment, the Buddha spent seven weeks (49 days) in the area meditating and thinking about his experiences. The places where he spent each week are now also considered holy. 1. The Bodhi tree This tree is a descendant of the fig tree under which the Buddha meditated for a week. It’s now known as the holy Bodhi (“awakening”) tree. Next to the tree is a platform of sandstone called Vajrasana (“the Diamond Throne”), put there by Ashoka to mark the spot where the Buddha sat. 2. Unblinking shrine For the second week of his meditation, the Buddha stood motionless in one spot and stared at the Bodhi tree without interruption. The Animeschlocha stupa (“unblinking shrine”) is located on the spot where he stood. It features the Buddha…

KYLIE JENNER is celebrating her 22nd birthday as only a young billionaire can. The festivities kicked off with her baby daddy, TRAVIS SCOTT, covering her mansion with red rose petals. “My house is covered in ROSES! @travisscott and it’s not even my birthday yet!!!!! Omg,” she captioned the Instagram post. “Stormi! Look at this!” Excitement around her big day reached fever pitch a few days later when she was spotted boarding a private jet to Italy which held a piece of luggage that appeared to be a wedding dress. Or, at least, a white dress. A source told Us Weekly that Kylie wasn’t going to get married anytime soon, but “she and Travis are doing great”. “There is always talk about them having another baby, but she’s enjoying being a…
