‘I’m better now. I’ve been getting jobs and I have my own house’ SHE knows what it’s like to bounce back. After battling to find work for 13 years, Vinolia Mashego slipped into a spiralling depression. There were rumours she couldn’t afford to pay her rent, tabloids reported she’d assaulted someone, and who can forget the time she was fired for allegedly parading naked in a block of flats in Pretoria? But she’s put the dark days behind her and things are looking up. “I’m better now. I’ve been getting jobs and I have my own house,” Vinolia (56) tells us proudly. Known as V-Mash from her days as a popular presenter for SABC’s hit music show Jam Alley, the veteran entertainer is back on the small screen and winning…

THE STRUCTURED BAG Combine two classics – a structured bag with a floral dress – for a polished, chic look. A handbag in a solid colour, like this blue one, works well with a patterned dress. TIP Vibrant prints are all the rage. Pair them with solid-coloured accessories in the same palette. SNAKESKIN SHOES It’s the must-have print of the season! A pair of these makes a statement so choose clothing in solid colours, like this rust coloured dress, and keep your accessories to a minimum. TIP Add colour and printed accessories to neutral tones. PATTERNED BLOCK HEELS In warm weather you can never go wrong with open-toe, strappy sling-back heels. This season, choose a pair with an interesting print or pattern. You can wear printed sandals with a floral…

GOGO’S GOT MAIL Gogo went out to her mailbox and looked in, closed the door and went back in the house. A few minutes later she went out and looked in the mailbox again, closed the door and went back in the house. She did this several times and her neighbour who was watching her said: “You must be expecting a very important letter today, the way you keep looking into your mailbox.” Gogo answered, “No, I’m working on that new computer Nandipha got me and it keeps telling me I have mail.” SIPHO AT SCHOOL Teacher If I give you two rabbits and two rabbits and another two rabbits, how many rabbits have you got? Sipho Seven! Teacher No, listen carefully again. If I give you two rabbits and…

MANY consumers who have a credit record that contains incorrect information only realise this when it’s too late. They usually only notice when a loan they applied for is declined, or if the credit supplier offers a loan but at a higher interest rate. Luckily, errors can be corrected. Here’s what you need to do. BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THESE COMMON ERRORS Incorrect account information such as settled accounts indicated as still outstanding, late payments and unpaid balances. False accounts that you didn’t open might indicate identity theft (see more below). Mistakes with personal information including spelling errors in names and incorrect ID, contact numbers or addresses. Credit bureaus receive information from different service providers such as banks, shops, insurers and cellphone companies. It may be the case that…

There’s no word yet when the second season of the hauntingly raw, scary and occasionally darkly funny Euphoria will return, but until it does we have the show’s score to tide us over. The music, composed by British singer-songwriter-producer Timothy Lee McKenzie (30), aka Labrinth, was his first stab at composing for the screen – between dropping an album and co-writing Beyoncé’s Spirit for this year’s Lion King remake. His music, before and for Euphoria, is a mash-up of genres – electronic, hip-hop, R&B, gospel and jungle. “When you look back to your teenage days it feels semi-magical but semi-crazy and semi-psychotic. “I wanted to make sure the music felt like those things,” he told Rolling Stone about the soundtrack. Handily for the series, Drake was its executive producer. This…

EVERY year, Halloween is celebrated on 31 October the world over. It’s a fun day on which to dress up, have a party and, of course, go trick-or-treating. The holiday is becoming more and more popular in South Africa and this year you might be taking part in a Halloween party. But have you thought about what you’re going to put your sweets in? This pumpkin-shaped bag is perfect for the purpose. Here’s how you can make it yourself. WHAT YOU NEED STEP 1 Fold one orange fabric square in half. Use the dinner plate to draw a half-circle on the material, making sure there’s the shape of the pumpkin stem at the top of the half-cricle.

SHE steps out of her black Porsche Panamera whipping her hair. Tall and blonde, she’d be hard to miss even if she wasn’t tottering on stilettos, wearing a stylish floral wrap dress. Heads turn as Christall Kay walks into our office – and she’s thoroughly enjoying all the attention. “I love being a celebrity,” she tells DRUM. “Every day is a chance to dress up and share my story.” The lawyer-turned-businesswoman is thrilled to be back in the limelight in the second season of The Real Housewives of Johannesburg (RHOJ) on 1 Magic (DStv channel 103) every Friday. If last season was anything to go by, viewers are in for more designer clothes, cappuccinos and catfights. Christall became one of the most talked about characters in the hit show that…

TEENAGE pregnancy has a profound impact on these young girls’ futures. Without proper support and help, a teen mother is less likely to finish high school and pursue a career. Teen pregnancies remain a serious health and social problem in South Africa. Not only does it create a potential health risk for both mother and child, but it also has social consequences such as continuing the cycle of poverty, including early school dropout by the pregnant teen. Education is one way a young girl or woman can empower herself to become financially independent. Becoming a teenage mother will force you to put your dreams aside while you raise a baby. As you’ll still be a child yourself, this will add further financial strain on your family as well. It’s vital…

‘For the first time I’m doing something because I want to’ SHE thought she was done with showbiz. There were reports Brenda Ngxoli packed her bags and headed home because like many actors, she was unhappy with the cutthroat industry. Others said she was broke. But when we speak to the actress about why she took such a long break, she sets the record straight. She’d been thinking about leaving for a while, she tells DRUM. “It’s funny seeing those stories about me as I didn’t leave because I didn’t have money, or because I was angry with the industry. “I didn’t leave because of an alcohol or drug problem. I followed my heart for my own physical and spiritual growth.” Though the 39-year-old stepped out of the spotlight for…

STANDING tall and proud in a grey suit, Emmanuel Gasa looked completely at home in the courtroom as he was formally admitted as an attorney of the high court. In fact, if you didn’t know better, you’d be forgiven for thinking the recently qualified silver-haired man was a veteran lawyer – but that’s mainly because at 74, the Atteridgeville resident is about 50 years older than most newly admitted legal eagles. At an age when most of his peers would be happy to leave their working days behind them and spend their time pottering in the garden, or ferrying grandkids around, Emmanuel has embarked on a brand-new career, proving you’re never too old to learn. “I was determined to complete this degree. I wasn’t going to let things like my…

So, what are some of the benefits of boredom, and why should we learn to embrace them? 1 Boosts imagination and creativity Much research has linked daydreaming to increased imagination and creativity. So see boredom as a chance to let your mind wander. Who knows, when you return to reality you may be able to solve that work issue, doodle plans for your renovation and book your next holiday all in one go. 2 Helps us make change Learning to recognise the cause of your boredom is key to fixing it, particularly if it’s affecting your happiness. Whether it’s work, exercise or relationship related, view boredom as “feedback” and a catalyst for change. Perhaps you need a new job or to discuss your current role with your manager, maybe your…

I CAN’T TRUST HER ANYMORE Q I’ve been dating my woman for several months with the intention of marrying her. She’s 32 and I’m 37 and things were going well until she started lying to me. She didn’t only lie about her whereabouts, but she’d also make appointments with me and not show up. This behaviour made me very suspicious, and one night I caught her going to a nightclub when she’d told me she was going to sleep. Naturally, I confronted her. Since that night she’s been dodging me, switching off her phone and not responding to my texts. I decided to give her some space, but I’m still hurt. Am I missing the red flags? Am I just a distraction to her party life? I think I should…

Footballer Thamsanqa Gabuza kept the death of his son a secret and didn’t attend his child’s funeral, reportedly so he would not distract his teammates from focusing on the MTN8 final, where he helped SuperSport United win the trophy.

THE announcement was quite a surprise. The bookies’ hands down favourite was a feisty Swedish teenager who gave Donald Trump the death stare, told adults they were ruining her future, and spurred thousands into become climate activists. But 16-year-old Greta Thunberg was edged out by an unassuming man who prefers to fly under the radar – although his inspiring achievements have prompted comparisons to Barack Obama and Nelson Mandela, both winners of the prestigious prize this little-known man now calls his own. Ethiopian prime minister Abiy Ahmed Ali (43) is the recipient of the 100th Nobel Peace Prize. He’s the youngest African ever to win the award and only the third sitting head of state to receive the honour. When you hear what he’s done, it’s easy to see why…

Yoghurt is one of the world’s oldest fermented dairy products – people have been making it since 5000 BC. Bacteria called yoghurt cultures are added to fresh milk to turn the lactose (milk sugars) into lactic acid. During this process yoghurt’s milk protein, casein, is partially disintegrated, which gives yoghurt its jelly-like texture. Lactic acid gives yoghurt its sour taste and also makes it stay edible for longer than fresh milk. Yoghurt is more nutritious than milk because the fermentation process makes it easier to digest and for the body to absorb nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus and iron. Many people who are lactose intolerant can digest yoghurt to a certain degree. As a fermented product, yoghurt contains probiotics, which help keep your gut healthy, and some yoghurts have added…

COCONUT KELZ’S GUIDE TO SURVIVING THIS SHITHOLE BY LESEGO TLHABI (JONATHAN BALL) R139* If you don’t know who Coconut Kelz is, you’re missing out! The brainchild of comedienne Lesego Tlhabi, Kelz is a white lady stuck in the body of a black woman, and her perspective on all things South Africa will have you in stitches. As a taster: “In life, there will be several moments when you’ll realise you were born to be a boss. If you are white, this will happen at birth.” Kelz knows what she’s talking about. Her debut book, a guide on how “Caucasian and Caucasian-adjacent” people like her can live their “best (white) life”, cleverly subverts the ideas and mumblings of those I’m-not-racist-but- . . racists by exposing the absurdity of their ideas by…

MANY of us have started to swop steaming stews for salads, packed away our chunky coats and brought out the lighter linens as the days get lighter andbrighter. What’s not as easy to swop out or pack away are the extra bits we’ve accumulated over the winter months, settling on bellies, hips and thighs. That’s why at this time of the year many of us are thinking of joining a gym and getting a personal trainer to help us lose just one or two kilos as we gear up for the holidays. But there are things personal trainers would like you to know before you sign on the dotted line. Here a few trainers share what they’d like aspiring gym-goers to keep in mind. YOU DON’T NEED FANCY GEAR OR…
