DOCTOR, DOCTOR A man wakes up in a hospital after a serious accident. He shouts, “Doctor, doctor, I can’t feel my legs!” The doctor replies, “I know you can’t – I’ve cut off your arms!” PUNS Two antennas meet on a roof, fall in love and get married. The ceremony isn’t much, but the reception is excellent. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, “I’ll serve you, but don’t start anything.” Two peanuts walked into a bar, and one was a salted. A man walks into a bar with a slab of tar under his arm and says: “One beer for me, please, and one for the road.” Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: “Does this taste funny to you?” Two cows…

HER heart sank as she heard the sickening scrape of metal on metal: a taxi had forced its way past her car in the slow crawl of the bumper-to-bumper morning traffic. Abigail Kubeka (79) sighed and wondered how much time she was going to lose getting to work at the SABC studios in Auckland Park. Her window was open, as the weather was pleasant that October morning, when the taxi screeched to a halt in front of her and the driver got out. The Generations: The Legacy actress adjusted her oversized sunglasses and waited for the man to come over and apologise. “The taxi was driving on the pavement when it scratched my car. So, I know I wasn’t in the wrong.” They would exchange details, she thought, and she…

THE article “The land was promised to me” (31 October) exposes our authorities’ ignorance and incompetence. In a country that’s marred by joblessness and poverty, one would have expected the state to support any jobcreation initiative. There was no satisfactory reason for the state to deny David Rakgase an opportunity to buy the farmland he had been working for years, as had originally been promised. As the people’s servants, the authorities should have been guided by the Land Redistribution for Agricultural Development Act when dealing with his case. Had the government not dragged its feet, his business could have expanded greatly. David is a shining example of how redistributed land should be utilised. Many people get land back, only to erect shacks on them, while other portions of that land…

THERE’S no doubt South Africa has some of the hottest exports right now –Trevor Noah, Charlize Theron and Nomzamo Mbatha are just some of the homegrown talents blowing up in Hollywood. And if her latest award is anything to go by, Bonang Matheba is adding her name to the long line of locals who are flying the flag high overseas. The popular presenter became the first winner of the African influencer of the year gong at the recent E! Entertainment People’s Choice Awards in America. It’s a few days after her big victory and she still can’t believe she beat rapper Cassper Nyovest, fellow TV presenter Minnie Dlamini Jones as well as Nigerian stars Davido, Wizkid and Tiwa Savage by public vote. “When you are up against the people in…

HER previous relationship was the talk of the town. Zodwa Wabantu caused a stir when she dumped her fiancé a few months after she’d paid lobola for him – this is why she’s kept details of her new man close to her heart. Zodwa (34) is by no means ashamed of dating 23-year-old Vusi Buthelezi, she tells us. She’s posted loved-up snaps of her bae on social media. But she’s learnt from the past and wants to protect her new relationship. The dancer made headlines when she dumped her ex, Ntobeko Linda (24), after paying lobola for him. She’d bought their rings, picked a date and had fittings for her dress. Then, a few weeks after the engagement, she dropped the bombshell that the wedding was off. “I was on…

HE WAS remarkably upbeat about not having a face and didn’t even mind when people gawked at him. “They’re just curious,” Robert Chelsea would say. “It’s scary – it’s like I’m wearing a Halloween mask.” But those days are over now for the 68-year-old from Victorville in California. Robert made history recently when he was revealed as the first African American to receive a face transplant. He’s also the oldest person to undergo the complex and ultimately life-changing surgery. For Robert, a new face will mean a whole new lease of life. A catastrophic car crash six years ago left him brutally scarred and because he had no lips his day-to-day existence was very hard. Eating was a major operation: food had to be liquidised and he’d squirt it into…

DO YOU often feel tired, light-headed and irritable – especially on blistering hot days? The answer to your woes could be as simple as increasing your water intake. These symptoms, along with frequent headaches, dry skin and constipation could be a result of dehydration. Here are 10 of the top reasons why we should be drinking enough water daily, plus tips on how to make sure you do. 1 WE ARE MOSTLY WATER Our bodies are made up of about 60% water. Every day we lose some of it through sweat, urine and even just breathing. If you don’t regularly replenish what is lost, your body doesn’t have enough water to maintain certain functions and tries to tell you this via messages of thirst, headaches and fatigue. Water also plays…

HE WANTED TO INFECT ME Q I’m a 55-year-old single parent. I’ve been single since I got divorced 19 years ago. Four months ago I met this guy through a dating site. I was so excited, believing I’d finally found my better half, but now I think I’ve made a mistake. We went away for a weekend and he wanted to have sex with me without a condom. I refused and told him we must first get tested together. He was angry with me but agreed to do the tests. I showed him my results, but he refused to show me his – he just told me he’s HIV-positive. I was devastated and I think he wanted to infect me so he could blame me for giving it to him.…

THE festive season is just around the corner and many people will choose to avoid crowded malls by shopping online instead. These days consumers are spoilt for choice – apart from online retailers such as loot. co.za and takealot.com, traditional shops such as Woolworths, Edgars, Foschini and Pick n Pay have joined the digital marketplace. But here are a few things to keep in mind before you whip out your credit card and start your online shopping spree. 1 COMPARE PRICES Check the price on several platforms because there are often specials at different times. Be on the lookout for online shops that inflate the product’s original price to make it seem as if its discount is more. For example, it will say a certain toy’s original price is R300…

ELEVATOR PITCH BY LINWOOD BARCLAY (HARPERCOLLINS) R405* On Monday, four people get into an elevator in a Manhattan office tower. They each press a button for their floor, but the lift doesn’t stop on any of them. Instead it proceeds to the top, stops there for a few seconds, then plummets to the bottom. At first it looks like a completely random accident, but on Tuesday it happens again. In a different skyscraper, more people fall to their deaths in another elevator. And on Wednesday another elevator catastrophe strikes and the city goes into panic mode. Surely these can’t be random accidents? Investigations reveal that someone is out to terrorise the city with the most lifts in the world. What would happen if terrorists really started sabotaging elevators in cities…

PARTY IN THE USA HE CERTAINLY has some famous friends! LASIZWE recently posed with actresses TARAJI P HENSON and YouTuber SKAI JACKSON. The 21-year-old bumped into the American beauties in Atlanta, Georgia, when he travelled there for a conference. “It’s an annual event for black YouTube creatives around the world. There, they celebrate black creatives and give us tips and tricks on how to improve our content,” he tells us. Lasizwe, who previously met Taraji when she was in Mzansi to promote Empire, says she recognised him from her visit. “When I walked up to her she remembered me from when we met when she was in South Africa.” He met Skai, a Disney star and fellow YouTuber, at the hotel where they were staying and the pair instantly hit…

Tamara Dey and her baby daddy, Nina Mhinga, are heading to court over child support. The singer has reportedly demanded Nina, who is Yvonne Chaka Chaka’s son, double his papgeld payment from R10 000 to R20 000 a month. Readers had their say. If his lifestyle allows him to pay that amount then so be it. The child needs to maintain the same lifestyle. ZAMAWOSIYANA ZAMA That sounds a bit extravagant. A portion of the money could rather be invested in the child’s future. Isn’t the upbringing of the child more important than money? But then, what do I know? OLEBOGENG NKAGISENG LEGOTE I guess she knows how much the guy can afford. TSHEGO PENYENYE It sounds reasonable. This is the son of Yvonne we’re talking about; he can afford…

YOU know the expression “It’s just a game”? Well, anyone who’s ever uttered those words will surely have eaten them along with the leftover biltong after one of the most spectacular sporting feats in recent memory. Because if ever a match was more than just a game, it’s the one that galvanised and unified a nation at the Yokohama Stadium in Japan on Saturday 2 November. The Springboks had so much more to play for than World Cup glory: in their hands rested the dreams of a country beset by challenges and hardship. We needed something to show us that, if we work together, we can be winners. ‘It is not necessarily the sharpest, fittest, fastest or strongest team that wins, but the one who wants it most’ And when…

Waxing Although waxing can be uncomfortable, many people are willing to put up with the discomfort for beautifully smooth results. Waxing leaves the skin smoother for longer than shaving or hair removal creams do. Over time, waxing lessens hair growth as it pulls the hair from the root, damaging the root bulb. The result is that hair grows back thinner and less dense. You can either have it done at a salon, or there are products available for home use. The wax – either warmed up or on a wax strip – is applied to the skin then quickly ripped off, taking the hair with it. Pros Silky smooth, longer-lasting results. It can be used on any body part. Regular waxing will cause the hair to grow back softer and…

CAUGHT ON CAMERA Q I’m being accused of theft at work and my boss says he has CCTV footage that shows I stole from them. I admit I did take some things but I didn’t tell him this. I was also not aware there are cameras. Can they use the footage as evidence? GUILTY, EMAIL A CCTV cameras are usually placed in areas where everyone who enters the premises can be aware of them. These cameras are installed for the purpose of protecting the company’s property as well as everyone who enters the premises. Your employer should have informed you that the premises is guarded this way but if the cameras are visible, there is no duty to inform employees. If you were caught stealing, the employer can use the…

IT WAS a gloomy Saturday morning in Johannesburg but there was nothing gloomy about the atmosphere at the Hyatt Regency in Rosebank, where DRUM readers gathered for a day filled with knowledge, the best entertainment and lots of food and drinks. DRUM’s deputy editor and the host with the most, Mathawe Matsapola, welcomed guests who were treated to the finest finger foods and hot beverages to start the day. The first speaker, Sbusiso Kumalo from Capitec Bank ,shared some insight with the audience. He highlighted the importance of being smart with money, and thinking ahead when it comes to banking and the use of money. “It’s not smart to take out loans to fund a certain lifestyle, it makes more sense to buy a house or a car with that…

CREATIVE FAMILY Music is in Mahalia’s blood – her mom was part of ’80s electronic band Colourbox and her dad is a songwriter and session guitarist. “My whole life I was surrounded by such a creative family,” said the songbird, who was born Mahalia Burkmar in Leicester in the UK. “Both my parents are musical. Mom used to dance as well. “My eldest brother is a choreographer, my other brother is an actor/MC/poet. So it’s like the most fun, warm way of growing up.” MENTORED BY ED In 2012 her manager arranged for her to have a jam session with singer Ed Sheeran, which she believes helped kick-start her career. “Ed was the catalyst, really. He tweeted, ‘Everyone check out this 13-year-old girl’ and then within two months I’d signed…
