Aren’t you wasting the taxpayers’ money?” “You don’t understand, mister,” one of the workmen said, leaning on his spade and wiping his brow, “Usually there are three of us: me, Zamani and Jacob. “I dig the hole; Zamani sticks in the tree; and Jacob here, puts the dirt back.”…

She consults a range of experts and by following their advice she gets into some extreme social situations, including doing stand-up comedy and having deep conversations with strangers.

WHEN I started using a pen in primary school and made a mistake, I would try hard to erase it before submitting my work to my teacher. Sometimes I used chalk to hide my mistakes but they later re-appeared. So I used saliva, which worked but left holes in the pages. Some teachers would beat me for being untidy when all I was trying to do was cover up an error. One day a kind-hearted teacher called me aside and said, “Anytime you make a mistake, just cross it out and move on. Trying to erase it will only damage your book.” I told him I didn’t want people to see my mistakes. He replied, “Trying to erase them means more people know about your mess and the stigma is…

THERE were two things Senzo Meyiwa’s father, Sam, wanted to accomplish before he died. He’d hoped to see his son’s killer brought to justice, and for Senzo’s life to be documented in a book so he’s never forgotten. Sam died without ever seeing justice for his son – but he did manage to make sure his son would be immortalised. The book Decoding 666_9: The Inexplicable Life of Senzo Meyiwa, written by Soweto Mandlanzi, is already causing a stir and it hasn’t even been officially launched yet. In it, Soweto reveals how Senzo’s mom, Ntombifuthi Meyiwa, feels about her son’s girlfriend, singer Kelly Khumalo, and how a heartbroken Mandisa Mkhize, the slain soccer player’s wife, dealt with the pain of losing her husband. It’s been more than five years since…

HE’S been the envy of men all over South Africa. Rich and stylish with four wives in his house, many have wondered – how does he do it? Now businessman and reality TV star Musa Mseleku (44) is answering that question – while helping other men who want to live the polygamist lifestyle. He’s the presenter of Mnakwethu, a new show on Mzansi Magic (DStv channel 161) that follows the stories of men who want to introduce the polygamy conversation to their wives. The last time Musa made headlines was when he had hundreds of women queuing to be in the same room as him in hopes of becoming his new wife. They were so eager to be part of his life they were willing to pay R5 000 to…

GOOD daily habits are the building blocks of a healthy lifestyle, and a healthy lifestyle has benefits both now and in the future. In the short term, it ensures you get more out of life because you feel energetic and positive. It helps to protect against lifestyle diseases and safeguards mental health. “A daily routine of good choices is absolutely key to overall health,” says Dr Marike Ransome from The Family Doctor in Rondebosch, Cape Town. The word “routine” may sound intimidating, so keeping things basic but consistent is important. “We all need to slow down and aim for balance and that means making good choices every day,” she adds. BE AN EARLY BIRD Being ahead of the clock is the best defence against a morning routine that leaves you…

ONLINE SENSATION After going viral on social media with a cover of Frank Ocean’s Super Rich Kids in 2012, Sabrina Claudio has had a steady ascent to stardom. The Miami-born singer-songwriter started posting covers on YouTube at 14 and by 17 her family decided to move to LA so she could pursue her passion. “They believed in my dream more than I did at the time,” says Sabrina, who didn’t think she was all that good until she started seeing people’s reactions online.

ARAW onion, a rubbery shoe, a piece of firewood and an uncooked turkey might not usually look good enough to eat – but in this case, tucking into one should literally be a piece of cake. Hyper-realistic cakes are the latest foodie craze and are a feast for the eyes. Videos and photographs of these cake sculptures are going viral on social media – and there’s nothing vanilla about them. Crafty confectioners the world over are using their artistry not only to make unique cakes but to push the envelope when it comes to what they can recreate. And often the slicing of the cake is almost as exciting as its unveiling. Natalie Sideserf (34), from Ohio in the USA, is one of the top bakers specialising in hyper-realistic cake…

It looks and tastes like meat – but it isn’t Meatless sausages and burgers have been around for a while, but many are put off by the taste and texture. Now new technology is helping to develop flavours so sophisticated many carnivores would have a hard time telling them apart from the real thing. Beyond Meat The American producer manufactures a variety of plant-based meat substitutes, including mince, sausage, beef crumbles and its famous Beyond Burger patty, which it bills as the “world’s first plant-based burger that looks, cooks and satisfies like beef without genetically modified organisms, soy, or gluten”. These burgers are available at Woolworths and will set you back R129,99 for two patties. Impossible Foods is Beyond Meat’s competitor and produces plant-based meatless meat products such as Impossible…

IT’S not the kind of career you go into if you value job security. As a manager of a club in the English Premier League results are all that count and if your team fails too many times, you’re out. The days of a manager staying for decades at one club – like Alex Ferguson did at Manchester United and Arsène Wenger at Arsenal – are long gone. This season has seen several managers being given the chop, including Arsenal’s Unai Emery and Tottenham Hotspur’s Mauricio Pochettino, leaving football fans wondering who’ll be next. Meanwhile Liverpool’s Jürgen Klopp and Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola are the only two stalwarts who remain – and they stand head and shoulders above their rival managers. FORMER PLAYERS NOW MANAGING OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER (46) Manchester…

LEAVE LIZZO ALONE! IS ANYONE else getting tired of seeing beloved celebs forced off social media by trolls and other online meanies? LIZZO is the latest star to announce her departure from at least one social-media platform – Twitter – all because of the nonstop harassment she faces. “Yeah, I can’t do this s**t no more. Too many trolls. I’ll be back when I feel like it,” she wrote in a tweet a few days after she clapped back at author Boyce Watkins. Boyce claimed in a tweet that Lizzo’s success was due to “an obesity epidemic in America”. Lizzo responded by saying, “I’m popular because I write good songs and I’m talented and perform high energy hour and a half shows filled with love [sic].” And, she’s also a…

‘Change is hard. Change is scary. Unfortunately, change is also critical to our continued happiness as humans’ WHEN I was 26 I broke up with a longterm partner, got an ill-advised facial piercing and changed careers – all in the space of a month. What I learnt during those four weeks is that life is like a cake: you can’t unbake it if you don’t like the flavour. Sometimes you need to chuck the entire thing in the bin and start again from scratch. It’s harder that way, but who wants to spend the rest of their life eating cupcakes when really they wanted lamingtons? Change is hard. Change is scary. Change is a tedious administrative nightmare. Unfortunately, change is also critical to our continued happiness as humans. Even if…

DOES going to work feel like a drag, when you used to be enthusiastic about it? Maybe you’re so demotivated that even your pay cheque isn’t enough to get you out of bed in the morning. That’s because we aren’t motivated to work purely for money, says career coach Khanya Matlala. “We choose to work because we have a deeper set of goals – to have an opportunity to do what we do best every day,” she says. When our jobs no longer offer us this opportunity, we start to rethink our options – perhaps a more exciting position or a change of career. Both prospects bring exciting possibilities and challenges. So how do you figure out what’s the right move and the right set of challenges for you? GET…

IT CAN be difficult to keep track of household expenses, which is why some couples opt for linked credit cards. This means only one person has to apply for a credit card and their spouse gets a linked card so they can shop on the main cardholder’s credit account without having to apply for a credit card themselves. You can also link your teen children. Sure, it’s convenient, but before you start linking left, right and centre, remember that if the account is in your name you’re the one responsible for everyone’s expenses. Here’s everything you need to know about linked cards. THE REQUIREMENTS All banks and credit providers have one golden rule – that the main cardholder has a good credit record. Usually, the holders of the linked cards…

SHE’D always been resourceful. Growing up in Gugulethu, Cape Town, she didn’t like to play with dolls because she couldn’t relate to the fair-skinned blonde-haired variety found in toy stores. So she set about scouring flea markets in search of second-hand dolls to experiment on. “I tried to re-colour a Barbie doll brown, but I didn’t like the result,” Yolanda Yawa-Donkers says. Today the 42-year-old is the proud owner of Luvuthando Dolls, a black doll brand that promotes diversity and aims to instil confidence in little boys and girls. “I am passionate about the black child and wanted to create a product that will be fun and inspiring,” she tells DRUM. She made her first doll collection, which celebrates African beauty, in the images of her children, Luvuyo (17) and…

Happily ever after It was all glitz and glam at Mzansi’s first soapie wedding of the year SHE can’t imagine walking down the aisle again anytime soon but SIMPHIWE NGEMA had fun when Isidingo’s Sechaba and her character, Phindile, tied the knot on the show. “I don’t think I’ve enjoyed myself on a set like this,” the actress says. “Phindi and Sechaba (played by MOTLATSI MAFATSHE) have been through a lot – but now they are here, it is beautiful to witness.” Simphiwe was a sight to behold in a shimmering hand-beaded bridal gown, custom-made by ORAPELENG MODUTLE. “I wanted to move away from the typical bridal gown. It was quite labour-intensive. Four months later she looks amazing,” says Orapeleng, who has a cameo role in the wedding. The fashion…

JACKO WAS ‘A PLAYER’ HERE’S a beef most people didn’t know about: “Iron” MIKE TYSON hated the king of pop for years after MICHAEL JACKSON dissed him after a concert in the 1980s. Chatting on T.I.’s podcast recently, Tyson said he spent years thinking of Jacko as “a cold motherf***er”, until he got to know him better. Tyson had just become the heavyweight champion of the world back in 1986 but Michael treated him “as if he was a nobody”. “It broke my ego . . . It crushed me.” They later buried the hatchet and Tyson says he found out that Jackson “wasn’t no f***ing stupid little feeble lookin’ boy like Peter Pan. He’s f***ing sharp. He knew what f***in’ time it was. It blew my mind.” He added…
