SHORTLY after arriving at our office in Joburg, he picks up a steamer to steam-iron his shirt. Luyolo Yiba wants to look sharp for our photoshoot. But he is quickly interrupted by someone from the M-Net PR team, who insists on tackling the task so the Idols SA season 15 winner can relax and focus on his interview. Clearly the sweet-natured, modest attitude that earned him the adoration of fans across the country has not been an act – even now, with his newfound fame and millionaire status. He was seen by many as the underdog of the competition, but Luyolo recently beat fellow Eastern Cape-born Sneziey Msomi to Idols SA glory. His charm is all down to an “ordinary and strict” upbringing, he tells DRUM. Luyolo (25) and his…

I WANT ACCESS TO MY CHILD Q My girlfriend and I were together for 18 months. At the start of our relationship, before we realised she was pregnant, we fought a lot both physically and verbally. Her parents got involved after the baby was born, and they hate me. At the time I was not working, so her mother helped but now I am working and I want to provide for our child. I have a special bond with the baby but my girlfriend is refusing to allow me to be involved in her life. She says she first needs to talk to her mother about me spending time with her. How can I convince her I want to be a father to our child? DOTING DAD, SMS A You…

EVERYONE says you should start saving for retirement as early as possible, but in practice things don’t always work out that way. Then suddenly you’re in your forties or fifties and your nest egg is tiny, or even nonexistent. But you can still make a plan to start saving now. Here are seven useful tips for growing your nest egg. 1 MAKE A MIND SHIFT Although many people retire at 60 or 65, you can continue working until much later in life. People in their sixties are much healthier than 50 years ago and these days starting another career in your sixties and seventies has become more common. If you’ve put aside too little for your retirement you’ll need to find a way to keep earning an income. If you…

RISE TO FAME The 23-year-old Atlanta native has been singing since she was 15, and is influenced by straight-talking soul singers like Jazmine Sullivan and the late Amy Winehouse. Summer Walker taught herself to play the guitar by watching YouTube videos and perfected her honeyed vocals on covers she posted online when she wasn’t cleaning houses or dancing in clubs. “I started singing because I wanted to figure out ways to make money in a comfortable and creative way,” she told Billboard. MAKING HISTORY She dropped her first album, Over It, last month and it’s since made history by becoming the biggest debut record of any R&B female artist in over 10 years – which, yes, means she’s overtaken Beyoncé’s Lemonade! She’s also had the biggest streaming week for a…

IT WAS a dizzying fall from grace. Just six months ago he was the toast of the town after taking his team – a lesser player in a game dominated by the big-bucks glamour clubs – all the way to the Champions League final. Tottenham Hotspur had also come third in the Premier League in 2018 and Mauricio Pochettino was hailed for creating an exciting squad and a thrilling style of play that delighted fans. And all this on a far smaller budget than many of his rival coaches. But now it’s all over for the 47-year-old Argentine. Spurs recently announced Poch had been sacked after a losing streak that saw the side sink to the bottom half of the Premier League table. “We were extremely reluctant to make this…

I CONGRATULATE Zodwa Wabantu for being happily in love with her new boyfriend, but I strongly feel it was too early to reveal her new man (We’re a perfect match, 14 November). A new relationship requires each partner to give it undivided attention. It will be challenging for Zodwa to achieve that with the public focussing on her relationship now. Many celebrities introduce their partners to the public when they’re still madly in love. But when things go sour, they refuse to talk about it and say it’s a private matter. This is why public figures should keep their private lives private, until they get engaged, for example. However, I wish Zodwa and Vusi a long and happy relationship. NANCY KUBU, EMAIL THE WINNING LETTER RECEIVES R300. Letters should be…

SO DETERMINED is he to fill up stadiums around the country, he’s been dubbed Abuti Fill Up. In fact, his ability to get bums on seats earned him the best promoter and best hustler gongs at the recent SA Hip Hop Awards. With all the money he’s making from his concerts, it’s no surprise Cassper Nyovest is dripping in designer clothes and gold when he pulls up at our offices in his Bentley. Yet he hasn’t been laughing all the way to the bank, he reveals. “This year was bittersweet,” Cassper tells us. “I made the most money I have ever made but I also lost a lot because I had to pay the taxman.” So, there’s truth in newspaper reports he owed R3 million to Sars, we remark. “I…

WHEN she steps onto the stage at the Miss Universe pageant she can be sure of one thing: her beloved father will be there cheering her on every elegant step of the way. To Miss SA Zozibini Tunzi, her dad, Lungisa, is many things: a devoted chauffeur, her biggest fan, her rock. He’s been her unfailing pillar of support since she was a little girl taking part in her first pageant and he’s here today as she chats to us in her stylish Sandton apartment. “I’m always there for her,” says Lungisa (55), who works in the department of higher education and training in Pretoria. And Zozi (26) wouldn’t have it any other way. “I’m a daddy’s girl,” she says. Lungisa will never forget the day his daughter’s name was…

THE world can feel like a scary place. Housebreakings, hijackings, rape, sexual assault, stabbings, kidnapping – we’re confronted with news about these crimes daily. No wonder so many of us feel an almost constant undercurrent of distress. It’s that feeling of unease that has us anxiously looking over our shoulder when we’re out, especially in an unfamiliar place or at night. It’s the hyper- awareness about where your kids are, where your bag is, whether you’ve locked the security gate. Many women now carry some sort of self-defence weapon – for example a key to stab an attacker in the eye or pepper spray to blind them. But technology also gives us access to devices that can alert emergency services, family or friends if we’re in trouble. Here’s a selection…

She’s written books on family law and is a family law mediator. I WANT MY HOUSE BACK Q People have been living in my RDP home since 2005. They tricked me into buying my house with R2 500. I asked them to leave, but they will not move. The title deed is still in my name. I have laid a charge, but my case is always postponed. What can I do to get my house back? HOMEOWNER, EMAIL A Since the title deed is in your name, you need to give the occupants a letter of eviction, where you give them…

TIME TO GO HOME A man walks into a bar, sits down on a bench and orders a cold one. He swigs down the beer, looks in his pocket, cringes and orders another. He gulps down that one, looks in his pocket again, cringes and orders yet another one. This goes on for at least 90 minutes. Bursting with curiosity, the bartender finally says, “I know it’s none of my business but I have to ask. Why the whole drink-look-in-pocket-cringe-and-order-another-one routine?” “Well,” the man slurs, “there’s a picture of my wife in my pocket. When she starts to look good, it’s time for me to go home.” WOMEN VS MEN Question Why do men like smart women? Answer Because opposites attract. Question Why do men need instant replay on televised…

For seven seasons Kerry Washington played Olivia Pope in The Fixer (aka, Scandal). When the series ended last year she decided her next acting job was going to be as far removed as possible from politics, intrigue and presidential shenanigans. THE SHIFT Kerry left Los Angeles, where The Fixer was filmed, and relocated to New York City with her husband, former American footballer Nnamdi Asomugha, and their children, Isabelle and Caleb, to star in the Broadway play American Son – for its four-month run. She plays Kendra, a mom who finds herself stuck in a Miami police station while searching for her missing son after he and his friends had been stopped by police earlier that evening. A filmed version of the play, featuring the cast of the original production,…

ESCAPE ROOM HORROR. 96 MIN. 2019. 16DLV. Six strangers receive invitations to the Minos Escape Room Facility, which lures them in with prize money of $1 million. Each room has clues and traps that mean life or death. It’s fun for what it is: a watered-down, teen-friendly version of the Saw movies. The pace drives the action and what’s shocking isn’t the gore, but the fact that people could torture one another in this way. – PIETER VAN ZYL A DOG’S JOURNEY FAMILY. 109 MIN. 2019. PG13. In the sequel to A Dog’s Purpose (2017), Bailey the dog (voiced by Josh Gad) has vowed to protect CJ (KATHRYN PRESCOTT), the granddaughter of his previous owner. Complex family issues are explored and the therapeutic role our pets play as we navigate…

IF YOU told his 17-year-old self he would one day be considered a sex symbol he would have laughed in your face. Gangly and goofy, he was the ultimate nerd – and a super smart one at that. He finished high school two years ahead of his peers and went to university when he was just 16. But cool he was not. “Oh yes, I had an awkward phase,” John Legend recently admitted. “I was always less mature, less at ease socially.” But just look at him now. The 40-year-old crooner is married to one of the sexiest women in showbiz, is a beloved judge on top talent search show The Voice and has won almost every award going for his music. And to top it all, he was recently…

IDINA MENZEL AS ELSA The award-winning actress, singer and songwriter had a long list of Broadway credits to her name before she became Frozen-famous. “It’s refreshing to see a movie about young women that isn’t about romantic love,” Idina (48) says. “It’s infectious to see two young women taking risks and pushing each other to be their greatest selves.” KRISTEN BELL AS ANNA The Good Place and Veronica Mars star (39) reprises her role as Elsa’s sister. She’s admitted her daughters, Lincoln (6) and Delta (4), already know everything about the new blockbuster-to-be. “So, I come home and I learn a new song, and I sing it to them at night in bed. And then I realised I really need to be careful.” The plot was a closely guarded secret…

Bonang Matheba revealed the reason she wears a ring on her left hand – “It’s called ‘stop nonsense’,” she said in an interview. DRUM readers shared their thoughts. The worst part is, she wears it on the finger that’s supposed to be for a wedding ring. Maybe she has lost hope for marriage and just married herself! THEREZA NAZREC Does she need a KFC proposal? LEAH LINKI It’s her finger, her money that bought that ring and her choice to put it on that finger. THULI NCWANE Khloé Kardashian also wears a ring on her left finger, but no one asks her questions. Rock that ring, girl! MINENHLE NDLOVU Actually, I wear a ring too and I’m not married. I don’t even have a boyfriend. AMANDA AMMIE MKEHLE…

IT STARTED slowly. She woke up one morning and her voice wasn’t as smooth and sweet as it used to be. Simphiwe Dana put her husky voice down to having given it her all on stage when she performed at Mam’ Winnie Madikizela-Mandela’s memorial at Bassline last year. She wasn’t singing out of tune, but “my voice wasn’t going where I wanted it to”, she says. She knew something was wrong and wasted no time getting a professional medical opinion. Simphiwe (39) was stunned when doctors diagnosed her with vocal dysphonia, a disorder in which the muscles that generate a person’s voice go into periods of spasm. “I thought I was going to lose my voice forever,” she tells DRUM. Vocal dysphonia, doctors told her, is caused by voice misuse…

The whistle has been redefined into a personal alarm. Memeza has developed a personal alarm that sells for R79,99. When activated, by pulling a string, it emits a piercing alarm (140 decibels). The sound has the potential to confuse and scare a would-be attacker and rouse would-be rescuers. It’s lightweight and comes with a keyring attachment. You no longer have to carry a bulky can of pepper spray in your hand. The Sabre Red Lipstick Pepper Spray at first glance looks like a harmless shimmery pink tube of lipstick. But don’t be fooled – it contains the maximum heat allowed in pepper spray, reaches up to 3m, and the stream delivery pattern reduces wind blowback. Available at takealot.com for R299.…

SAGITTARIUS 22 NOV – 20 DEC Networking Mercury moves into your sign, which means it’s a great time to rub shoulders with others. Many opportunities might present themselves, whether you want to expand your circle of friends, wish for a soulmate or would like grow in your profession. This week you’ll have no problem making acquaintances. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 1, 30, 17, 20, 48, 39 CAPRICORN 21 DEC – 20 JAN It’s a week where your innate Capricorn characteristics can be a burden or a boon. While sober habits and responsible ways could be saving you money, pessimism combined with too much caution may lead to missed opportunities. Ambition and discipline will certainly help you up the ladder of success, but all work and no play will cause resentment. Taking…

THE KITCHEN THRILLER. 103 MIN. 2019. 16. NOW ON DSTV BOXOFFICE The wives of three jailed mobsters are forced to take over their husbands’ work, and find they’re quite good at being gangsters. Headlined by TIFFANY HADDISH, Melissa McCarthy and Elisabeth Moss, it’s far from the usually funny fare some of these stars are associated with. It’s violent and gruesome, and its cast will have you liking and hating them in equal measure.…

THE PORPOISE BY MARK HADDON (CHATTO & WINDUS) R249* I confess: I was reluctant to read this book as the blurb on the back made it sound a bit pretentious and weird. Still, I decided to give it a shot – and I’m so glad I did. The Porpoise is testament to the master storyteller Mark Haddon is. It starts with a harrowing plane crash survived only by a newborn baby who quickly becomes her grief-stricken father’s object of obsession. A young art dealer comes to visit one day and, struck by the girl’s beauty and desperation, pledges to help her. And then readers are hurtled back centuries to the time of prominent Greek statesman Pericles and a world of brutality, disease, war and lust. Sounds a bit weird, right?…

PEOPLE pointed at her on the street. “Look, that old woman is pregnant,” they’d snigger. But Eveleen Crouse (53) from Sydenham, Port Elizabeth, wasn’t carrying a baby in her womb – what was growing inside her was a tumour so huge doctors had no idea how to treat it. It started out as a small lump on an ovary but for more than four years she watched in horror as her belly swelled and swelled from the tumour which eventually reached the size of eight newborn babies. By this point she was struggling to breathe as the growth was pressing on her lungs. Her situation looked hopeless. One gynaecologist warned she didn’t have much time left – death was inevitable, he told her. But fortunately for Eveleen someone who witnessed…

‘We realised there were lingering questions. What would Anna do now that she has everything she’s wanted?’ Let it Go is the earworm that burrowed its way into a billion parents’ brains. And if its Oscar-winning songwriters, the husband-and-wife team of Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, have their way, their Frozen II theme song, Into the Unknown, will take its place. They’ve written seven new songs for Frozen II, inspired by their daughters, Katie and Annie. “Anna and Elsa are growing up,” Kristen says. “And our own girls are growing up too. They informed the choices we made with Frozen and have also informed the choices we made with Frozen II. “As the girls get more independent and have to walk their own paths and face their own moments of…
