‘He started his business in a very difficult time’ IT WAS a night to remember. An epic party on Christmas Eve filled with well wishes from family, friends, prominent businesspeople and even President Cyril Ramaphosa himself. And what a milestone it was – his 99th birthday, making him just one year shy of a grand century on Earth. Little did the people who celebrated with Richard Maponya realise it would be his last hurrah. The respected entrepreneur and property developer passed away just two weeks later, triggering an outpouring of love and respect for the man dubbed the grandfather of black business. Although he had been ill for a short while, his death still came as a shock, family spokesman Mandla Sibeko says. “At his age he still went to…

It’s a widely held belief that a bout of sexual activity burns a few hundred calories (more than a thousand kilojoules). So you may think, hey, I could get a side of fries with that! But if you hook people up (literally and figuratively) and measure their oxygen consumption during the act, having sex turns out to be the metabolic equivalent of bowling. Given the average bout of sexual activity may last only about six minutes, a moderately active participant might expend about 21 calories (88kJ) during intercourse – just 14 (59kJ) more than they would have watching TV. So maybe you could have one fry with that.…

1 Foundation Apply face primer. This keeps the foundation in place for longer and helps to keep your skin matte. Next, apply foundation with a foundation brush or a beauty blender. Start on the areas that need the most attention, like dark spots. Blend in a rolling motion. Make sure the foundation is well-blended. TIP You can spray a setting spray on your beauty blender for longer-lasting cover. 2 Brows Brush your brows with a spoolie brush then draw a line under each brow and another on top, starting at the thickest part of the brow. Fill your brows with a pencil following the direction of your hair. Use a spoolie again to blend everything. Next, use a concealer along the top and bottom of each brow, getting as close…

DECEMBER has come and gone and even though we’re halfway through January we’re not quite ready to face up to a brand-new year. But there are a number of ways to ensure you start each day with a spring in your step. From taking a hot shower to drinking lots of water and ditching your phone alarm, make 2020 your best year yet by adopting these great morning habits. SWITCH TO A MORNING SHOWER A hot shower relaxes your muscles, washes away stress and puts you to sleep, right? Wrong. It does quite the opposite, according to sleep expert Dr Raj Dasgupta. As you fall into a deeper sleep at night your core body temperature drops to around 15°C. “Taking a hot shower at night is kind of like exercising…

YOU promised yourself it wouldn’t happen – and despite your best intentions you’ve gone into the New Year with your wallet empty and your credit card and overdraft maxed out. Now what? Here’s some handy advice on how to clear your debt quickly while juggling all your other financial obligations. YOUR ACTION PLAN FOR ZAPPING DEBT Debt incurred during the holidays should be paid off as soon as possible. If there’s no corresponding increase in your income, you need to look at where you can curb expenses. Avoid spending money on things you can do without, such as buying takeaway food rather than packing lunch for work or going out to a movie rather than staying home and watching TV. Carla Oberholzer, a debt counsellor with DebtSafe, suggests the following…

MORE BY MATT PRESTON (PAN MACMILLAN) R299* The affable MasterChef Australia judge is as talented with words as he is in the kitchen, and in this attractive recipe book he makes a convincing case for eating more vegetables. It consists almost exclusively of tantalising veggie recipes, beautifully photographed, clearly written and imaginatively titled. Take your pick from Papal Gnocchi, The Devil’s Miaow (with addictive caramel brussels sprouts) or The Handmaid’s Tale Undressed. It’s not gimmicky though – the recipes will delight the vegan or vegetarian in your home. But Matt goes further: with each recipe he includes a “meaty addition” for those who want to add an animal protein to the meal. At the back is a meat appendix where he offers basic recipes for poultry, seafood, pork, lamb and…

HE’S happiest with his shirt off, cavorting in the open air with his four-legged buddies, some of whom weigh four times more than he does and could kill him with one swipe of a giant paw. Meet Kody Antle – a real-life Tarzan who’s become a social media sensation thanks to his incredible bond with wild animals. The 29-year-old’s Instagram account is filled with videos of him play-wrestling Bengal tigers, monkeying around with chimps and hanging out with Bubbles the elephant, all of which reside at his family’s Myrtle Beach Safari park in South Carolina in the USA. It doesn’t hurt that Kody himself is easy on the eyes. With his long hair, playful grin and chiselled body, he’s something of an attraction himself. But he shrugs off the attention…

MY father passed away when I was 12. I was devastated. I adapted by building my world around my mother. My world crashed when she died a year after my father passed away. I felt as though there was no reason to live. Fortunately, my older sister who was then 23, took on the responsibility of being the head of our family. She dropped out of college and took care of me and my two siblings. Although she couldn’t replace our parents, she tried her best under the circumstances. My sister played the parental role with the help of orphans’ social grant money. When I passed matric and eventually got to college, I started to acknowledge how strong she was. That’s when I started to work hard for good results.…

WHEN she hung up her ballet pumps and pirouetted into the public eye as a TV presenter, she didn’t for a minute think she’d end up working with pots and pans. Yet celebrity chef Lorna Maseko is cooking with gas. The 36-year-old has been on a whirlwind international tour to promote her first cookbook, Celebrate with Lorna Maseko. Her schedule has been packed as she tries to increase her foodie fan-base, she explains when she arrives at our offices in a stylish monochrome outfit, a few minutes late for our interview. “Sorry I’m late, mo’ghel. I couldn’t find my car keys then had to take another car. But when duty calls, gwa Iwa.” Lorna, along with her celeb bestie Bonang Matheba and Bonang’s cousin Pinkygirl, coined the phrases “gwa Iwa”…

IT’S the most significant political assassination since the killing of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. That’s how some commentators are describing the death of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, who perished in a drone attack at the hands of America. President Donald Trump called it a “devastating blow against a regime plotting global political atrocities”. But others say that, much as Ferdinand’s death sparked World War I, Soleimani’s killing could trigger World War III. As thousands of Iranians mourn the demise of their powerful general, the rest of the globe fears tensions could ratchet up in the volatile Middle East. We take a closer look at what’s been going on. HOW IT BEGAN New Year’s Eve at the US embassy compound in Baghdad, Iraq, was marked by an invasion by hundreds…

MY SON HAS SPECIAL NEEDS Q My kid has just been diagnosed with autism. He’d been having problems for a while and eventually the school suggested we take him for tests. I was hesitant at first, but I realised that knowing what the problem is means I can get him the help he needs sooner rather than later. But now that I know his diagnosis, I’m really scared. They say this could last his whole life and I feel lost – I don’t know how I’m going to support this child. I feel bad when I think like this but I don’t have any support from family and his father isn’t part of his life so everything is up to me. How do I find the strength to do this?…

After the release of Starboy in 2016, the Can’t Feel My Face hitmaker is getting back in the game with a new project, supposedly titled Chapter 6. During a recent show in Canada the singer said, “Chapter 6, coming soon.” He also reactivated his long-dormant Instagram account to tease fans with this message: “Tomorrow night we start again.” SHY GUY The singer, who rarely grants interviews, told Time magazine he turns into a bundle of nerves when he has to talk about himself. “I think I’d puke” if he had to do a live TV interview, he told the magazine which named him one of 2018’s Next Generation…

ASTRONOMY CLUB SEASON 1 NOW ON NETFLIX This sketch show, Black-ish creator Kenya Barris’ first offering for Netflix, began life as an online series of shorts. “We’re black and we’re all stars,” says KEISHA ZOLLAR of the show’s name. “And like most stars, nobody knows our names.” Framed as a reality show, complete with “confessional” interviews and made-up drama, it’s about a group of comics who live in a Big Brother-style house.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE After buying his new hearing aid, the old man is excited as he heads back to the nursing home. “I am able to hear something two whole blocks away,” he tells his nurse. “Cool, I bet it costs a fortune . . . how much did you pay for it?” the curious nurse asks.

‘Because of all the anger I had bottled up towards him, he was essentially killing me too’ For nine-year-old Candice Mama, seeing the picture changed her world forever. For years her mother tried to shield her from the truth of what happened to her father – but one glance at that gruesome shot said it all.

The harrowing image caused Candice to sink into a debilitating depression that threatened to overwhelm her life until she realised there was only one way to move on: she needed to forgive the man who’d murdered her father.

A LITTLE drama, a lot of talent and someone who believes in them – that’s the recipe that got the Qwabe twins their first single.

HUSTLERS DRAMA/COMEDY. 110 MIN. 2019. 18DLNS. JENNIFER LOPEZ is magnificent as Ramona, the stripper-cum-criminal mastermind who schemes to rob rich Wall Streeters who engineered the 2008 financial crash.

THE NIGHT FIRE BY MICHAEL CONNELLY (ORION) R359* It pains me to say this because I enjoy his writing so much, but this isn’t one of Michael Connelly’s best. Detective Renee Ballard and Harry Bosch team up again to investigate a cold case after Harry’s old mentor dies. Harry and Renee try to unravel why he had the “murder book” with the details of their investigation . . . Renee is also drawn into the case of a homeless man who was burnt in his tent. It looks as if he accidentally knocked over a lamp, setting himself alight, but the LAPD detective may well be searching for a potential murderer. Harry meanwhile has health issues he needs to sort out, and his half-brother, Mickey Haller, makes a welcome appearance…
