IMAGINE two men serving time on Robben Island for 10 years. These men are bound together by the same goal: wanting to see the downfall of the apartheid Government. Sometimes, while working very hard, they would look outside their windows and see beautiful Table Mountain and the bright lights of Cape Town, and wonder if they would ever come out of the island alive. These two men found solace in each other, often killing time by looking at the pictures of their children and wishing they were there to protect them from harm. Perhaps, Khwezi’s father spoke to Jacob Zuma about how he missed his daughter, and how he wished he could put her on his shoulders. After all, she was very young when he was arrested and sent to…

NHLANHLA MOKOENA YES I think it can be considered if a doctor confirms that it’s a condition an ill person cannot change. Loved ones should be considered in such a situation, especially the spouse and the children who are affected by this decision, because someone’s condition can change as time goes on. SIFISO KOZA NO I’m against assisted death. No one has a right to take a life. After all, it’s blood on their hands, and as for the ill person, it’s a suicide mission. LINDIWE DHLUDHLA YES I believe everyone has a right to choose how they die, especially when there is no hope of survival. God gives life and takes it, but there are circumstances that need us as people to intervene. Yes, SA law has to allow…

‘Infidelity is a deal-breaker. It takes time, energy and commitment to regain trust’ Q I WANT HER BACK I cheated on my girlfriend and we broke up three months ago when she found out. Upon self-reflection, I realised I love her and I wasted many opportunities. What can I do to save this relationship and to regain her trust? I’ve changed. I wish I could give you her number to tell her how much I regret what I did and that I want to save this relationship. CHEGOFATXO, E-MAIL A Infidelity is a real deal-breaker in a relationship, and it takes a lot of time, energy and commitment to regain trust once it’s broken. Before you approach your ex for forgiveness and a second chance, you need to work on…

YOU WERE created to live a dynamic life full of energy and innovation. God created us perfect and fit for dominion, but the world has trained us to be mediocre. While ineffectiveness and aimlessness have become the norm in society, you must strive to live a victorious life. Have a positive attitude and embrace new ideas to stay on top. God gives ideas and solutions to those who are inquisitive about the state of life around them. In the process, they learn more about their being and capabilities beyond what society has stipulated. You were created in such a way that success empowers you. A successful man is not easy to discourage. God said in Genesis 1:26-28: “Let Us make human beings in Our image, to be like Us. They…

SONIC BOOM: FIRE & ICE NINTENDO 3DS 3DS Sonic has been through some hard times: He was an icon back in the ’90s but due to a long string of very poor choices and bad games from Sega, he’s lost his appeal. Enter Sonic Boom, a new TV show set to right the wrongs of the past and pull Sonic back up to the top of the podium. But TV shows are one thing; Sonic is a video-game character and unless the games he’s in are good, the blue hedgehog is bound to be nothing more than a passing phase. Fire & Ice ticks all the right boxes: It’s got the simple side-scrolling platform gameplay we loved from the early Sonic games, and the sense of speed is back, which…

THE IMPORTANCE OF WASHING YOUR HANDS Okay, now we know all about good hygiene, but did you know clean hands are definitely the most important thing of all? Your hands are busy all day long – you touch your face with them, wipe your nose and eat, and to touch other people and objects such as dirty money and door handles. Did you know there can be entire colonies of germs on your and your friends’ hands? We can’t see them, but they can make you ill, and you could pass them on to those around you. Wash your hands before you eat and especially after you’ve used the toilet. Do it properly – use soap and wash thoroughly for about 30 seconds to get rid of nasty germs such…

EVER SINCE she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2013 for 12 Years a Slave, Lupita Nyong’o’s brilliance has been revered around the world. And if her portrayal of Harriet Mutesi in the real­life story Queen of Katwe is anything to go by, her star is about to go galactic. The 33­year­old Kenyan’s career has been a testament to the fact that no matter where you are from, you can reach great heights. Lupita is as poised and beautiful in person as she is on TV and in magazines when she sits down to chat with us during the South African premiere of Queen of Katwe in Joburg. She plays lead actress Madina Nalwanga’s on­screen mom in the movie, which tells the story of real­life Ugandan chess…

BROADCASTING BLUES Why are we subjected to Divas of Jozi and The Sober Companion on Monday nights? Aren’t Mondays difficult enough? NIKKI, SMS LOVE YOUR SKIN Thank you for your health article (To bleach or not to bleach, 22 September). I was born with beautiful chocolate­brown skin, but I didn’t see it like that so I started to use products, like Extra Clear, I bought on the streets.

DIMAKATSO, SMS DEADLIEST SINS Whoever wrote about the seven deadly sins forgot, or didn’t think about, the remaining two: fame and relevance. The difference between the protesting students…

SHE PLAYS a diva and he a gentleman and they’re so in tune as brother and sister in Mzansi Magic’s hit telenovela, The Queen, that it comes as no surprise that they’re just as at ease with each other in real life. We meet Loyiso MacDonald, who plays Kagiso, and Dineo Moeketsi, who plays Kea, at Aramesh Luxury Guesthouse in Kyalami Estate, near Midrand, and they seem to truly enjoy each other’s company.

WHAT IS A SERUM? A serum is a liquid or gel facial product in a tube or bottle. The difference between a serum and moisturiser is that serums contain active ingredients that get absorbed into the skin when applied. When active ingredients penetrate the skin, they fulfil a certain function. WHY SHOULD I USE A SERUM? You should use a serum if you have specific skin concerns. For example, if you want to diminish the appearance of scars, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, rough skin and oily skin. Because the serum penetrates the skin, it works from the inside out so it’s more effective. The great thing about serums is that they last long because you only need a few drops. WHICH SERUM IS BEST? This depends on what skin goals…

‘Many teenagers get acne, which can be embarrassing, but it’s a normal condition’ Q MY DAUGHTER’S ITCHY RASH My eight-year-old daughter has a discharge from her private parts and they’re always itching. She also has a rash that is sometimes sore. What could be the problem? NTOKOZO, SMS A In this case, the itch and rash are suspicious, especially in the presence of a vaginal discharge. Take your daughter for a clinical exam. Direct questions by a physician alone might not be helpful, so it might be necessary to get the help of a social worker, occupational therapist and a clinical psychologist to help your daughter through play therapy, so you can find out what has happened to her. A clinical exam, including a vaginal swab investigation by the lab,…

BOSS: You should have been here at 9.30 am. EMPLOYEE: Why, what happened? REASONS TO BELIEVE COMPUTERS ARE MALE They have a lot of data but are still clueless.

GET RID OF THE SABC I COULD not believe it when I saw the SABC’s Acting Group Chief Executive, James Aguma, smiling, joking with the media and gloating at the release of the broadcaster’s financial report. “You thought it would be a billion, but it’s only 411 [million], neh?” How could anyone be proud of making a loss that equals millions of rands of taxpayers’ money, Mr Aguma? He said he’s “not worried” about whether the SABC has money in the bank or is making a profit or not as long as it provides “fresh content” for its audience. As a licence holder, I am concerned and disagree with the “fresh content” that the SABC is providing. I’m sure many others would agree with me. Even more worrying is the…

THE WEDDING dress, an ivory silk strapless gown with a floor-length A-line tulle skirt and a top encrusted with Swarovski crystals, hangs on the wall like the Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum. The bride, Nandi Hadebe, gazes at it with awe before carefully lifting it from the padded silk hanger. She clasps it to her, twirls around to the approving gasps and ululations of the people in the room.

Tumi, the matron of honour, in a stunning ankle-length magenta chiffon couture dress that hugs her generous curves in all the right places, is standing…
