According to the department of labour, if you get injured, contract a disease or die at work, you or your dependents can claim from the workers’ Compensation Fund. The fund pays compensation to permanent and casual workers, trainees and apprentices who are injured or contract a disease in the course of their work and lose income as a result. But there are workers who are excluded, including: Domestic workers in private households; Members of the South African National Defence Force and South African Police Services (they have their own fund); and Sub-contractors. In terms of the law, all employers must register with the Compensation Fund and pay an annual fee based on their workers’ earnings and the risks associated with the type of work they do. It’s through these levies…

What causes pigmentation? THE SUN When the sun’s rays enter the skin, melanin production is triggered as this is how the skin protects itself. This can result in the development of dark patches and spots. ACNE When you squeeze or pop a pimple it inflames the area and bacteria can get in. After the inflamed area heals, it can leave a scar and discolouration. HORMONES During pregnancy, certain parts of a woman’s body, such as the stomach and neck, can become darker. Certain contraceptives can also cause darkening of the skin. Preventing pigmentation One of the most common causes of pigmentation is exposure to the sun, so your first line of defence is sunscreen. This will help to prevent the sun’s rays from entering the skin and triggering melanin production.…

OWNERS of sectional title units often get hot under the collar when they’re hit with extra charges by the body corporate over and above their regular monthly levies. But levies are strictly laid down by law and trustees of a sectional title scheme can’t just ask for money out of the blue. Every cent spent must be accounted for and members are entitled to see the books. Here, in a nutshell, are the common levies that can be charged. 1 NORMAL LEVIES FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE FUND The administrative levy is probably the most common and is used to finance the normal maintenance costs of a sectional title complex. Remember, if you buy in a sectional title scheme, you don’t only buy your unit but also a part of the…

THE DEAD DON’T DIE HORROR COMEDY. 2019. 104 MIN. 18VNL. This quirky film is as silly as its title suggests. A sleepy American town is under attack from zombies, with only police chief Cliff Robertson (BILL MURRAY) and officer Ronnie Peterson (Star Wars’ Adam Driver) to protect it. At times it feels a bit like a comedy skit and horror fans might feel a bit cheated by this slow-burn movie, even if the impressive cast give it their all. – PIETER VAN ZYL…

THE slender baton glides through the air as the conductor gestures, sometimes furiously, sometimes gently. The baton moves as though it is a wand conjuring music out of air. Her right hand opens, closes, and a finger points, and all the while the musicians seated before her concentrate intently, one eye on her, the other on the sheet music in front of them. For Ofentse Pitse (27) being the conductor of the all-black Anchored Sound orchestra is far more than a job, it’s a calling which has given her life purpose and meaning. It all began in 2017 when she started a youth choir after meeting young people who were taking part in musical competitions. “I’d see all these amazing young people and wonder who they were. I wanted to…

South Africans will spend an average of around R1 735 on Black Friday this year, according to survey by information site Black Friday Global. Most online shopping on Black Friday 2018 took place between 8am and 9am. Last year South Africans spent R2,89 billion on Black Friday, a 15,92% rise in sales compared with 2017’s R2,49 billion.

One of the biggest winners on Black Friday 2018 was Takealot, with R11,5 million in sales within the first…

IF YOU didn’t know better, you’d never say they had a very public break-up just a few years ago. He dumped her for the queen of the Mzansi entertainment scene and she was left holding a baby and nursing a bruised ego and a sore heart. She put on a brave face and got on with it – after all, DJ Zinhle is no wilting wallflower. But true love will find a way and the music-maker and AKA got back together again. However, if she’d hoped the public would be happy for her, she would’ve been sorely disappointed. People took to social media calling Zinhle everything from desperate to an ambassador of forgiveness, but she isn’t letting it get to her. Yes, they’ve had their ups and downs; yes, she…

SHE was only seven years old when it started and it carried on for four more years. Although deep down she knew it wasn’t her fault, she blamed herself for many years and kept her dark secret all to herself. Her self-esteem took a knock and she battled with depression – but when she finally decided enough was enough, it changed everything. Finding her voice and telling the nation she’s a survivor of sexual abuse is the single most important thing she’s done in her life, Sasha-Lee Olivier says. And the 26-year-old beauty chose quite a platform to do so: the night of the Miss South Africa pageant, when she announced she’d be starting a new project to support survivors like herself. Her Beauty with a Purpose campaign will highlight…

The new shower is more practical and feels more spacious, while the sleeker vanity and mirror with shelf take up less room than the old vanity and medicine cabinet. The dark floor tiles and shower floor, as well as the strip of mosaic tiles behind the shower head and mixer tap, give the room a modern look and feel. The small bathroom had a shower over a large bath, a bulky basin and vanity, and old-fashioned blue tiles, making it look cramped and dated. Showering in the bath was also a slipping hazard.

Get started as soon as possible. Aim to put five percent of your monthly income into an emergency fund, but if this seems daunting, don’t let it put you off. Start with an amount you feel is manageable – something is better than nothing. Adjust your budget accordingly and set up a monthly debit order until your fund is at the desired level. Put your money in an account with an interest rate that at least matches inflation, otherwise your money will lose value. Use it for the right reasons. Birthday parties, vacations or that pair of shoes you’ve been eyeing do not qualify as emergencies. Involve the whole family, even your kids – everybody needs to understand why it’s important. Make it a family goal. Capitalise on loyalty and…

CAN I STILL BE DISCIPLINED? Q I’ve been placed on paid suspension due to misconduct at work and I expect I’ll be called in for a disciplinary hearing. I’ve decided to resign. Does the company have the right to continue with a hearing once I’ve handed in my resignation letter? WORRIED, EMAIL A If you decide to resign but give them a calendar month’s notice, the employer is within their right to continue with the disciplinary hearing. Should you resign with immediate effect, they may choose not to continue with the disciplinary hearing as the employment relationship would be terminated. However, the employer may claim damages from you for failing to stick to the resignation notice period. It is best to attend the hearing. If they dismiss you, you’ll be…

JESUS IS KING BY KANYE WEST Was it worth the wait? Yeezy’s fans seem to think so – the album debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart. This is his ninth solo record to start at the top of the chart, matching Eminem for the most consecutive No. 1 albums, and the most debuts in the top spot in a row. With 11 tracks and clocking in at 27 minutes, it’s a lightweight album, especially considering how long it was in production, and it’s been such a passion project for Kanye he’s even denounced making secular music ever again. The lyrics are simplistic. In Selah he asserts his faith and in Closed on Sunday he encourages the faithful to spend more time with their families. The album’s…

DEATH ON THE LIMPOPO BY SALLY ANDREW (UMUZI) R199* Karoo agony aunt and amateur detective Tannie Maria is on another mission. When hardhitting investigative journalist Zabanguni Kani zooms into town, Maria quickly befriends her. When Zaba starts receiving death threats, Maria is drawn into her world of intrigue. Who wants to kill her? Does it have anything to do with a dodgy nuclear deal she’s been writing about? To find the answers Maria must accompany her new friend all the way across the country to the Limpopo River, having lots of adventures along the way. There’s a lot going on in the third book in the Tannie Maria series – sometimes it feels as though Sally Andrews is trying to cram a bit too much into the story. But despite…

ORANGES IMPORTANT EXPORT PRODUCT FOR SA About 79% of the commercially produced citrus fruit (including lemons and naartjies) in SA is exported as fresh fruit. The rest is sold locally or processed into juice, purées, concentrates/syrups or jam. About 43% of SA’s citrus orchards are in Limpopo, followed by the Eastern Cape (27%), Western Cape (17%) and Mpumalanga (8%). SA’s citrus industry is important for the economy as it employs 100 000 people and generates an annual income of R20 billion. In 2018, SA became the third-biggest exporter of citrus fruit after Spain and Turkey. Most of the country’s citrus orchards (about 58%) consist of orange trees. ORIGINS Oranges – also known as sweet oranges to distinguish them from bitter or Seville oranges – originated in southeast Asia and belong…

The day got its name in 1950s America when people began calling in sick the day after Thanksgiving to bag themselves a four-day weekend. Since stores were open, those playing hooky got a head start on holiday shopping. Rather than try to determine who was legitimately sick, businesses just added that day as another paid holiday. “Black” refers to retailers turning a profit, as opposed to being in the red. Black Friday started gaining traction in South Africa only fairly recently, with retailers such as Takealot and Checkers both claiming to have debuted the concept in South Africa in 2012 and 2014 respectively. Other retailers followed suit and it caught on quickly. So much so that in 2018, the day saw more growth in South Africa than anywhere else in…

THE blonde beauty pulls up at our offices in a burgundy Range Rover, carrying Louis Vuitton and Gucci tote bags bulging with clothes from her favourite designers. “This is how I roll, honey,” she says, breaking into booming laughter. With her bold and boisterous nature, Lethabo “Lejoy” Mathatho (34) has always known she was born for the limelight. Now she’s breathing new life into the second season of The Real Housewives of Johannesburg. “I’ve always wanted to be on the show. I love the glitz because I grew up the complete opposite,” Lethabo tells DRUM. Growing up in Limpopo with her single mom and two siblings, Lethabo had very little. She knows what it’s like to skip school because she didn’t have sanitary towels. “I knew early in life that…

SHE remembers it as if it happened yesterday – that day almost seven years ago when her life changed forever. Sylvia Mahlangu’s phone rang and the moment she answered it, her blood ran cold. It was her mother Maria Mahlangu’s employer, and she could hear from the tone of his voice that it was bad news. There’d been an accident. “Your mom fell into the pool and she died,” he said. Sylvia (then 24) knew exactly which pool he was talking about. It was the one at the house in Faerie Glen, Pretoria, where Maria (43) had worked for 22 years as a domestic worker. “I was so shocked I dropped the phone and they had to call again,” she recalls. Sylvia, an only child, was devastated. But on top…

SHE WANTS A DIVORCE Q My wife and I are both 28 and have been married since the end of 2017. She moved out at the beginning of this year and a few weeks after we’d separated she applied for a protection order against me. She accused me of physical, emotional and financial abuse. She says my face keeps changing into a snake when she looks at me. When we were together she was sick a lot and we saw many different doctors but they couldn’t find any signs of illness. The last time we went to a private hospital and again they found nothing wrong. They suggested she see a psychologist. Now she’s filed for divorce, saying the main reason is that my face changes into a snake. She…

DO WHAT I SAY It’s a lovely sunny afternoon and not wanting to waste it, Lunga decides to go for a drive along a scenic road with 10 penguins on his back seat. Lunga reaches a traffic checkpoint and is stopped by a police officer who tells him he should not drive around with 10 penguins in the car and that he ought to take them to a zoo. Lunga agrees with the police officer and drives off. The following day, Lunga is driving along the same road. He still has the 10 penguins on the back seat. When Lunga reaches the same traffic checkpoint he is stopped again by the same police officer who had stopped him the previous day. The police officer cannot believe that Lunga still has…

In new thriller 21 Bridges, produced by Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo, Chadwick loses his Wakandan accent and slips into his now-unfamiliar American drawl as a New York City detective leading a manhunt for a pair of cop killers. Chadwick (41) has described his new movie as an “intense, fast-paced action movie”. “When I read the script, I could tell this was gonna be a ride. It’s a ride when you watch it,” he said. “At the same time, it took me back to my theatre days where you have that fast-paced language, like [playwright] David Mamet, that New York feel. I feel that this movie sort of captured that combination of things.” Chadwick, who is from South Carolina, has a BA degree in directing – he didn’t…

It may seem like a godsend to the cash-strapped, but Black Friday can be a treacherous beast. You could get so carried away with enticing deals you end up spending money you don’t have on things you don’t need. Two local experts tell us how to handle the day sensibly. Make a list of everything you need in order of importance, recommends consumer specialist Ina Wilken. “Black Friday is also a great way to get ahead of Christmas shopping – but only if you have a list of gifts you need to buy. And remember to stick to it.” “Do a price check of what these items usually cost so that you get an idea of what you’ll be spending and budget accordingly,” finance journalist Maya Fisher-French says. “This will…

LIKE a scrumhalf setting the direction of the game – that’s how she played her part in South Africa’s Rugby World Cup triumph. While the Boks were creating fireworks on the field, Motshidisi Mohono was making history as the first woman to anchor the discussion during a World Cup final. Hardcore rugby fans couldn’t get enough of her. Throughout the tournament Twitter was abuzz about her impressive knowledge of the sport and how confident she was sitting in DStv’s SuperSport studio, steering the conversation between rugby heavyweights such as John Smit, Naas Botha and brothers Odwa and Akona Ndungane. “I’m just elated that I could be part of that story on that particular day, that particular final,” she says. “The most historic final probably in Rugby World Cup history, certainly…
