WHAT’S your most valuable asset? Is it your house or your car? The answer most probably is neither. For most people it’s the ability to earn an income. That’s because if you can’t work and earn money, chances are slim you’ll be able to maintain your lifestyle, which means you’ll most likely have to sell your property and vehicle. That’s why income protection is one of the first policies young, working people are advised to get. These policies are aimed at replacing or supplementing your income if you’re unable to work because of illness, trauma, hospitalisation or partial or permanent disability. But there are different kinds of income protection policies. Get answers to these eight questions before you decide on a specific policy. 1 DO I ALREADY HAVE COVER? Many…

WE SHOULD be ashamed of ourselves for not reporting abuse when we see or hear of it. The usual response is, “But why does she stay?” Rarely do we think to call out, and report, the abuser. It is as if by staying – which is often because the victim is financially dependent on the abuser – many people just assume the victim is asking to be abused. My resolution this year is to report whoever I see beating up a helpless woman, or any woman. I don’t care if the abuser and I are related, I will not be complicit through silence any longer. And you shouldn’t be either. ZITHULELE WISEMAN SIBANYONI, EMAIL THE WINNING LETTER RECEIVES R300. Letters should be about 100 words. Write to us at PO…

‘We only seek to entertain you’ ‘That life of partying is not godly – it’s deadly’ IT WAS one of the most highly anticipated series set for local TV. Impilo: Mampintsha West Ink was meant to lay bare the lives of Mampintsha and Babes Wodumo, revealing how he built his record company over the years and shedding light on his relationship with his girlfriend and protégé. And in the promo of the show hosted by Jub Jub, viewers got more than they had bargained for as Babes and Mampintsha were seen arguing in a car as she accuses him of cheating. South Africans were gearing up for the docu-reality series, but now it may never see the light of day. As fans will know, on the eve of its premiere,…

CANTALOUPE This pinkish orange shade is perfect for those who aren’t afraid to take risks with colour. Ranging from natural shades that border on terracotta, to more vibrant pinkish oranges, this melon colour brings encouragement and motivation, says Anita Bloom, Decorex Africa’s creative director. “It’s a colour that inspires us to be active, increasing the sense of competition and the courage to assume risk.” Use this colour for a statement wall in your living room, bathroom or kitchen.

WILL WE EVER MARRY? Q I am a 27-year-old mother of two. I have been living with my fiancé for about five years now. He has paid lobola and we did every other ceremony except the actual wedding. The problem is that since 2016 he has not talked about how we are going to move forward. There’s been no word about us getting married and recently he said I’m like a sister to him. Should I be worried? Will he ever see me as someone more than just a sister so that we can move on? ENGAGED, SMS A What you should be asking yourself is why it has taken him so long to finish off what he’s already started. It has been more than three years and there’s been…

As his new family heads out the hospital door, he turns to the nurse and asks, “So tell me, what time should we wake the little guy in the morning?” THE PERFECT PARTNER “How is it you never married?” “I just never met the right woman. I guess I’ve been looking for the perfect girl.” “Oh, come on now, surely you have met at least one girl you wanted to marry.” “Yes, there was one once. I guess she was the one perfect girl, the only perfect girl I really ever met. She was just the right – everything! I think she was the perfect girl for me.” “Well,…

Tracy Ifeachor is one of the leads in Treadstone, a 10-part series based on the Jason Bourne movies. Set several years after the events of the films, the story jumps back and forward in time, between 1973 and the present, when sinister scientists on both sides of the Cold War were cooking up wicked plans to create brainwashed assassins. Tracy (34) plays Tara Coleman, a discredited journalist working as a taxi driver who is caught up in a global conspiracy. All around the world, sleeper agents – seemingly unremarkable people – are activated to carry out murderous missions, all of which are somehow linked to the investigation into a black market nuclear weapons deal that cost Tara her career. YOU’LL KNOW HER FROM . . . British-born Tracy’s career started…

‘The market is huge and we don’t have real South African players’ THINK cellphones and your mind automati cally jumps to big-name brands such as Huawei, Samsung and Apple. But local entrepreneur Lebogang Mokubela is aiming to change this perception and show South Africans that local is lekker. With its big screen, glossy body and minimalist design the new Libra smart-phone can proudly hold its own alongside handsets made by its rivals. But what sets it apart is that it was conceived and designed in Soshanguve near Pretoria. Sure, there are other proudly South African phones, like the Mara handsets made in Durban, but the Libra is being branded as the first township-based smartphone brand. ‘I had to roll up my sleeves and make a living’ Boasting 128GB on-board storage;…

HE’S as well known for playing a gun-toting grandmother as he is for being one of the few black entertainment moguls in America. But this time around you won’t be seeing Madea’s name alongside Tyler Perry in the credits. In fact, his new film couldn’t be further away from his beloved Madea films and his intense dramas like Acrimony and Temptation. This time around it’s a thriller – and it keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. Tyler’s new movie, A Fall from Grace, is his debut Netflix original film, and it was made especially for the global streaming service. When we catch up with the movie mogul on the phone, he reveals most of his movies are inspired by events in his life. “This story is about Grace,…

Rami Chuene recently announced her departure from The Queen. DRUM readers shared their thoughts on her leaving the Mzansi Magic show. She’s a good actress. Wishing her all the best. SIHLE NTUMBA NDLOVU [The Queen producer] Connie Ferguson should have fired her a long time ago. She must behave when she gets a new job. CHILIDZI MATODZI I will miss the way she’d speak in Sepedi. She made us so proud and reminded me not to mix my languages when I’m with my colleagues. MMAPHEHLI ANGELINA I pray she opens her own production company. The market needs more competition. BRADLEY BENN Move on and harbour no negative feelings, even if there are valid reasons. Your talent is there for all to see, go and make it big elsewhere. ITUMELENG SEBEELA…

The couple seem to attract drama at every turn, but this doesn’t mean their careers are over. They can turn things around if they take control of their story and capitalise on their publicity. “Regardless of the negativity, the country is watching,” publicist Sheila Afari says. “By now they should have had their own reality TV show, joint album, a number of high-profile music collaborations, the list is endless. The publicity window won’t be open forever. If they can’t change the narrative of what people are saying about them, people will lose interest.”…

TO SAY life is going well for her is an understatement. She has a new man, a new makeup line, another new business venture and her health regime has her feeling like a new person. Lerato Kganyago is feeling so at peace she doesn’t even mind that her Mercedes-Benz had to be towed away after she knocked it against an unmarked pavement at a shopping mall. The DJ and former Miss Soweto is two weeks into a 21-day meat-free fast when we catch up with her. “I’m currently on day 15 and going strong,” she tells us. The fasting has been part of a spiritual and dietary journey, which has taught her patience, gratitude and discipline. “I’m hoping to stay off all meat and fish permanently but I will see…

TIP If you have a single colour as the main focus of your look, adding items in deeper shades will add warmth and give your outfit layered depth. When wearing a one-piece like a jumpsuit or a shirtdress, use accessories to add depth to your outfit. Darker shades will accentuate your look. If sticking to a single shade is too subdued for your taste, mix and match earth tones for a bold, chic look. Wear animal prints for added flair. Shake things up by wearing different textures and fabrics like leather, felt and prints. Ribbed, pleated and ruffled items will add depth to your look.

MARRIAGE CONTRACTS Q I’m 40 and just got married. If we sign out of community of property, will we still be legally married and share the same surname? ANONYMOUS, EMAIL A To get married out of community of property you must first enter into a contract called an antenuptial contract. This contract must be registered at the deeds office before you get married, that is before you sign the home affairs documents for a marriage certificate. If you are already married and you did not enter into an antenuptial contract, your marriage is automatically in community of property. Entering into a marriage in or out of community of property has nothing to do with the validity of the marriage. If you follow the legal requirements to get married, that marriage…

COMPELLING DRAMA Daniel, who many fans know from his Oscar-nominated performance in Get Out and Black Panther, describes his character, Slim, as a straight shooter. “I see him as an everyman – he just wants to find a woman he can love until he’s old and have a family with.” Slim’s relationship with Queen (Jodie) evolves as the action deepens. “She’s a complicated woman who’s trying to run away from the trauma she’s witnessed,” Daniel said. “She’s trying to right those wrongs in her profession (an advocate) but she starts to open up to Slim.” Having done a string of movies, how did he pick this one? “My litmus test for choosing a script is ‘If I was working in a bank, would I watch this? And would the friends…

WHATEVER IT TAKES BY ANDY MCNAB (RANDOM HOUSE) R209* James Mercer, a quantity surveyor by profession, holds a grudge against the banks, big firms and institutions that financially ruined his family’s business. And so he decides to take back what was taken from them. To achieve this, he becomes a thief – a highly skilled one who goes off to New Zealand every year where he robs stinking rich people from all over the world who have second homes there. All goes well until he breaks into a house and gets caught. He fears the worst, but instead gets offered a job – one that’ll pay millions. All he has to do is find and steal a ledger containing a list of names. For what purpose? To ensure a better…

Although Gauteng is South Africa’s smallest province, it’s the “wealthiest” because it’s the economic hub of the country. There are many interesting places to visit, but top of the list is probably the Cradle of Humankind. It’s near Johannesburg and forms part of a Unesco World Heritage Site along with the Taung Skull Fossil Site in North West and the Makapan Valley in Limpopo. It’s called the Cradle of Humankind because many fossils and tools of modern humans’ earliest ancestors (hominids) have been found here. Some of the fossils discovered here date back more than three million years. The Sterkfontein Caves are perhaps the best known excavation site as about a third of all early hominid fossils in the world have come from here. Swartkrans Cave and Bolt’s Farm have…

THE Radebe family had high expectations for their new makoti. They wanted to surprise her on her one-month wedding anniversary with gifts. But Samantha Radebe’s life was taken exactly a month after she married the love of her life, Albert Radebe.

It is the day of Samantha’s memorial service and a cloud of sadness hangs over Zimbabwe Loop in Alexandra.

The family welcome mourners with muffins and juice. The female relatives wear long skirts and have covered their…

It’s been a while since Bongo Maffin’s SPEEDY has been in the limelight, but he’s certainly living his best life. The hit group recently made waves again in Mzansi but the 41-year-old has already returned to America where he now lives. We caught up with the muso, real name Harold Matlhaku. He tells us some of his favourite things about living in the Big Apple. What are your favourite hangout spots? Tonic Bar in Times Square. Favourite foods there? I usually eat healthily but my cheat meal is baby back ribs and corn bread. And I eat at a place called Red Lobster in Harlem on 125th street. Favourite thing about Americans and their culture? Freedom of speech and expressing themselves with how they dress. And how free everyone is…
