YOU can see the desperation on their faces. As the giant water tankers roll into the Karoo town of Graaff-Reinet, residents jostle one another, frantically trying to get to the front of the queue. They know there won’t be enough water for everyone. Those who don’t get any will be forced to go thirsty or take their chances by sourcing water from a nearby drain. For people living in the high-lying parts of the Eastern Cape town, it’s pointless opening a tap – most ran dry months ago. Nqweba Dam, which supplies the town, is empty. The ongoing drought has transformed the area’s main water supply into a festering wasteland, littered with dead fish. Which means the town is now reliant on boreholes – and the water trucked in by…

YOU’VE read the stories and sympathised with loved ones’ pain. You might have added your voice to the outrage on social media or joined a mass march calling for an end to the scourge. And yet you still feel helpless. Gender-based violence in South Africa can seem so overwhelming and is happening on such a large scale that you feel you can’t do anything, no matter how strongly you feel about it. But don’t despair: there are ways ordinary people can step forward to make a difference. Even the smallest effort can go a long way to help people in need. GET INVOLVED There are many organisations around the country running programmes for women in need. We rounded up a few in SA’s major cities but if you want to…

SHE was wearing a short skirt. She was drunk. She was walking alone. Factors like these are still being used to shame victims of rape – as if some part of the crime committed against them was their fault. “Placing the blame on the victim comes from old patriarchal beliefs that have been enforced through our education and legal systems and have filtered into our homes and work environments,” says Rosie Motene of People Opposing Women Abuse (Powa). “The fact is, when somebody rapes another person, it has nothing to do with what the victim was wearing, where they were at the time or what they were drinking,” she says. “The rapist is the only one to blame.” VICTIM BLAMING IS DAMAGING Shifting the blame from the perpetrator onto the…

SHE’S a superstar athlete, businesswoman, fashion designer and mom – but when SERENA WILLIAMS posted a video about taking care of her hair, we were relieved to realise she’s just like the rest of us. Well, in some ways at least. Because she’s a boss, Serena has taken her wig washing to a new level: she revealed she has her own human wig holder in husband ALEXIS OHANIAN. In a delightfully silly video posted on Instagram, the tennis ace says she is “up on the wig craze. I just don’t know how to clean my wigs and how to style them”, before the camera turns to Alex, who’s wearing a curly auburn wig. “I did get this new wig head. It doesn’t sit very still, but . . .,” she…

I AM so worried about the influence social media has on young girls. Don’t get me wrong, social media has many benefits, but I’m convinced the bad outweighs the good. The original intent of social media may have been to allow people to share who they are with others, but the opposite has happened. Little girls are becoming less confident in their own skin as they now have unrealistic expectations of what life should be like. It’s fine to have role models but aspiring to be someone’s duplicate is perilous in my view. And most of these social media stars only show the “perfect” parts of their lives and omit the real challenges of life. While much of the blame can be put on social media, we should also consider…

‘I swear in front of everyone here that I’ll never leave your side no matter what’ SHE loves being married to her husband so much she keeps saying “I do”. Two years ago, actress Baby Cele married her husband, Thabo Maloka, in a lavish ceremony. And now she’s done it again with another traditional ceremony. “This is a final step to seal our marriage,” she says of their umembeso. From arriving in an airplane to the glamorous outfits and fancy reception, Baby and Thabo spared no expense to make their day special. The umembeso kicks off with the Malokas presenting gifts – including blankets, shirts, aprons, plates and cups – to the Celes while Baby patiently waits indoors for her in-laws to come to dress her before introducing her to…

GAUTENG AND THE NORTH WEST Although officially not in drought, Joburg is currently under level 1 water restrictions, limiting how and when residents can water their gardens. This is as a result of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project tunnel system being shut down for maintenance, which means no water will be transferred to the Vaal River system supplying Joburg residents until the end of November. EASTERN CAPE Graaff-Reinet, Makhanda, Adelaide, Fort Beaufort, Hogsback and Butter-worth are just some of the towns where dams have run dry or are close to empty. NORTHERN CAPE is experiencing persistent drought in all of its five districts. It’s estimated almost 15 500 stock farms are in distress. WESTERN CAPE Last year, Cape Town narrowly escaped a looming Day Zero after three years of drought.…

BRAIDS Tsonga musician and BET award winner Sho Madjozi is the queen of braids, wearing them in different styles and colours and with accessories for extra flair. Braids can be hell on your hairline if they’re plaited in too tightly, so ask your hairstylist to ease up on the tension if it starts feeling uncomfortable. Mix things up by wearing clip-in extensions to make a pony if you have cornrows. FAUX LOCKS This trend is still going strong and these days the longer the locks the better – just like Luthando Shosha’s. The great thing about this style is faux locks are lightweight so they won’t strain your hairline, even when they’re long. They’re also easy to wash and they dry quickly. Make sure you keep your scalp healthy by…

I’M READY TO MARRY HER Q I’m a 51-year-old divorced father of three. I have survived three marriages and still love my kids. I’m presently seeing a 43-year-old widow. We first met 11 years ago but our relationship didn’t flourish because she was scared of commitment and intimidated by my two daughters. In spite of our decade-long separation we kept in contact and resumed our affair this year. She is now living with another man though and says she’s working on ending this relationship, but it’s difficult because they have a child. The man is cruel and wants to make her a second wife, and she’s financially dependent on him. We live in different provinces and she wants me to help her secure a job so she can move to…

ARRESTED FOR RECKLESS DRIVING Q While driving, traffic officers tried to pull my car over to the side of the road but I refused to stop. I was rushing to get to a meeting. The traffic cops followed me and arrested me for failure to obey and for reckless driving. I’m due in court and I want to know what the implications will be if I plead guilty? ANONYMOUS, EMAIL A If you plead guilty, the court can order a suspended sentence with conditions. You can also be ordered to pay a fine or your driver’s license may be suspended. You’ll also get a criminal record which will only be removed after 10 years. It is best you get an attorney to represent you. ‘You’ll also get a criminal record…

IT POPS into your inbox but as you open it and stare at all the columns of figures your eyes glaze over. You know you should be paying more attention to your annual retirement benefit statement because your future depends on it, but it all seems so complicated. Here are five important pieces of information you need to pay attention to when reading your statement. 1 ACCOUNT BALANCE This is the total amount you’ve saved up to the date on which the statement was issued. The amount includes contributions made by you and your employer, plus the returns and interest your investment has earned. In order to retire comfortably, most financial advisers agree your account balance must be about 10 to 12 times your annual salary by the time…

NBA 2K20 PS4, XBOX ONE, PC Once again 2K’s NBA offering is streets ahead of any other basketball offerings on any court. Its core gameplay sees some slight tweaks, while the biggest improvement is the player animation, which makes gameplay the closest it’s ever been to the real thing. There’s a wealth of modes to choose from, including quick games, full seasons and GM mode, but the real star here is once again the career mode that offers 2K’s most ambitious story yet. Packed full of A-list actors, including Idris Elba and Rosario Dawson, game mode plays out like a movie with the kind of production value you’d expect from a big-budget cinema feature. Unfortunately, micro-transactions permeate all facets of the game, from the ability to pay for stats in…

IT STARTED with small drops of blood on his shirts. “Imagine a piece of white paper and you took a red pen and just put a dot on it,” Mathew Knowles says. “That’s what it looked like on my T-shirt.” Mathew, father of superstar singer Beyoncé and her sister, singer Solange, was baffled. Then his wife, Gena Avery, also noticed spots of blood on their bedsheets every morning. So they decided to take a closer look. “I squeezed my nipple and sure enough, a little discharge came out, bloody discharge,” Mathew told The New York Times newspaper. “I immediately called my doctor.” It was bad news. The 67-year-old grandfather had breast cancer, a disease that affects fewer than 1% of men in the world. First doctors performed a blood-smear test…

AFTER spending a few months in Paris on his own, South African rugby player LIONEL MAPOE is thrilled to finally have his family with him in the City of Light. Lionel moved to the French capital in July to start his contract with rugby club Stade Français, and last month his partner, CLARRISA MANAÇAS, and their two children, daughter ZARAH (3) and son GIAN-LUC (1), said goodbye to Joburg to join him. “It’s an entirely new cultural exploration for us and although the language isn’t easy, we’re hoping to adapt really soon,” Clarrisa tells us. The family’s new home is an eighth-floor apartment with a clear view of the Eiffel Tower and just a 10-minute walk from the city centre. “The kids absolutely love it – Zarah says the Eiffel…

‘The internet makes everything 100 times more dramatic than what it really is’ THEY’RE supposed to be on “a break” but KYLIE JENNER, having recently split from baby-daddy TRAVIS SCOTT, has been visiting her ex, TYGA. Kylie and Travis were last seen together publicly in August at the launch of the rapper’s Netflix documentary, Travis Scott: Look Mom I Can Fly. The couple had their one-year-old daughter, STORMI, with them. Not long after, however, TMZ reported they had decided “to give each other some space”. This follows their recent appearance in Playboy magazine’s Pleasure issue, where Kylie said they were “always laughing or getting into deep talks”. “They are taking some time out but are not done,” a source close to Kylie told People magazine. “They still have some trust…

Reality TV star Zodwa Wabantu wore the dress she would’ve worn on her wedding day on the runway. DRUM readers shared their thoughts. One thing I love about her is that she always minds her own business. She doesn’t care what anyone says about her. You look very beautiful, Zodwa. NESHMA TSHIAMBWA She is ferocious! I get goose bumps when she struts her stuff. GERALD JONES She would have made a beautiful bride. Her fairytale will come. She is a beautiful soul. RAINE WATERS She looks real in that beautiful dress.

You taught me how to gain my confidence in life and do what is best for me, not for other people.…

SHE knows just how tough it is getting back into the dating game. As a single parent juggling a new job and the daily demands of raising two children, Jo-Anne Reyneke barely has time to catch her breath. “I leave before the kids wake up and come back home when they’ve already gone to bed. I have to explain why mommy is hardly home,” says the host of the hit show Single Parents Looking for Love. Jo-Anne’s been single since her public breakup with ex Thami Mngqolo. Two years ago they seemed to have it all: thriving careers, a loving family and a glittering future. She’d hoped to grow old with Thami and watch their kids blossom, but then it all came crashing down. There were reports the former Generations…

‘This experience has scarred me for life’ WHEN most young girls picture their wedding day, they see themselves in a gloriouswhite gown with a train to rival even the most royal of brides, walking down the aisle to meet the love of their lives. Or decked out in colourful traditional dresses, covered in beads and welcomed with ululation to their in-laws’ home. But Amanda Ndyebo* was dragged kicking and screaming to her “wedding”. The Eastern Cape woman was only 15 years old when she was abducted and married off to a man almost twice her age. It was all part of the outdated practice of ukuthwala, which sees young girls married off to older men with the approval of their families. After eight years of marriage Amanda, now 24, managed…

DRUNK & DEAF A drunken Irishman is driving through the city of Dublin on St Patrick’s Day. His car is weaving violently all over the road. A cop pulls him over. “So,” the cop says to the driver, “where have you been?” “I’ve been to the pub,” the drunk slurs. “Well,” the cop says, “it looks like you’ve had quite a few.” “I did all right,” the drunk says with a smile. “Did you know,” the cop asks, standing straight and folding his arms, “that a few intersections back, your wife fell out of your car?” “Oh, thank heavens,” the man sighs. “For a while there I thought I’d gone deaf.” BIG IN TEXAS A blind man decides to visit Texas. When he boards the Texan airliner, he feels the…

In 1938, Austrian archaeologist Wilhelm Köning made a discovery that’s baffled experts ever since. Köning was part of a German expedition doing excavations in Uruk, near modern-day Baghdad in Iraq. Köning uncovered a clay vessel with a copper cylinder and metal rod inside. The device, which is more than 2 000 years old, has since been dubbed the Baghdad Battery. If the vessel is filled with a weak acid, such as vinegar or lemon juice, it produces about 1 volt of electricity. Although experts refer to it as a battery, the device’s true purpose remains a mystery. One theory is it was used to electroplate (cover by using an electrical stream) objects in precious metals such as gold. Another theory is that instead of being used to generate electricity, it…

THE pain caused by the tumour that has crawled over her face is excruciating – yet it pales in comparison to the hurt caused by strangers pointing, staring and jeering. Ntomboxolo Maqubela’s face is almost completely obscured by an enormous tumour that has robbed her of anything resembling a normal life. Her dreams of a career, owning a home and a car and starting a family have been scuppered by the mass which refuses to go away, despite a string of surgeries. The electrical engineer has lost her sight in one eye and her speech is now almost inaudible, reduced to a mumble. It has been years since she’s enjoyed a normal meal, never mind an outing to a restaurant. She is no longer able to eat solid food as…

Male breast cancer isn’t common, Dr Sitna Mwanzi told the BBC. He’s a consultant medical oncologist at the Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya. Across the whole of Africa, there are only about 170 000 cases a year and for every 100 breast cancer patients, only one is male. The precise cause is unknown but the risk of getting it can increase because of: Genes and family history. Some men inherit mutated versions of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes from their parents and this increases the risk of breast cancer. Conditions that can elevate levels of oestrogen in the body. This includes obesity and scarring of the liver, or cirrhosis. Previous radiotherapy to the chest area. Men can help reduce their risk by: Eating a balanced diet Slimming down…

THEIR family feels complete now, say Lions rugby player COURTNALL SKOSAN and his influencer and entrepreneur wife SEMONE, after the arrival of their second child, CARLIN. “And then there were 4! Welcome to the world our little champion, Carlin Christian Skosan,” Courtnall said on Instagram after his son’s birth last month. The baby boy, who arrived by emergency C-section, had to spend his first week in hospital. The couple admit to being a little anxious about how big brother CJ (2) would adjust to it all, but they needn’t have worried. “He’s adapting so well,” Semone tells us. “It took him a few days to get used to the idea of having another baby around but he’s really loving and is always trying to help. “The boys keep us busy…
