ANYONE who’s ever had really bad period pain can tell you it’s no joke. And for some of us it’s worse than others. But crippling menstrual cramps could be the sign of something far more serious. Endometriosis is a condition that’s being diagnosed more and more often, and it’s worth making sure you don’t have it. For some it can lead to infertility, which could be devastating if you want to become a mom. Turn to page 36 for everything you need to know about this condition and when you must seek medical help. We’d also love to hear from you if you’ve suffered from it – to share your story, email mystory@drum.co.za Until next week, THE DRUM TEAM We would love to hear your thoughts on matters close to…

HE RECALLS walking down the steep flight of stairs as if it was yesterday. The closer he got to the courtroom holding cells, the more he was filled with dread. Before being sentenced for a crime he knew he didn’t commit, then 24-year-old Osiphesona Ngcanga had moments when he felt as if his world was caving in. Up until the magistrate ordered him to be taken to jail, he was certain justice would prevail. Osiphesona – at the time of his arrest an assistant lecturer at Nelson Mandela University in Port Elizabeth and studying for his master’s degree in maritime law – trusted the justice system. Surely he’d be exonerated, he thought. But the young man ended up spending two agonising years behind bars before his sentence was overturned on…

MANY hands make light work, the old saying goes – but this simple, innovative creation by a Cape Town inventor shows that sometimes all it takes is one pair of hands to make the light work. Siphamandla Ntshewula (21) is on a mission to light up township homes with a smart lamp made from recycled two-litre soft drink bottles and fabric off-cuts. Growing up in a house in Khayelitsha without a ceiling meant when he studied late into the night the light flooded into every room, keeping his family awake when they needed to be up early the next day. “As a young boy in the township we didn’t study during the day but would do so at night, which was a problem in households like mine,” he tells us.…

IF SOUTH Africa doesn’t deal with its unemployment crisis, and quickly, we will go nowhere as a country. Continued and growing unemployment is a recipe for chaos, and among the reasons for xenophobic attacks and other crimes. There’s nothing as painful as studying for years at university with the hope of getting a job, only to find yourself sitting at home, jobless. Unemployment seems mainly to affect those who are already financially oppressed; it has very little impact on those individuals whose families are financially secure and those who are politically connected. President Cyril Ramaphosa needs a plan for the private and public sectors to create jobs. MIYELANI HLUNGWANI, MUKHOMI VILLAGE THE WINNING LETTER RECEIVES R300. Letters should be about 100 words.

HER list of talents are about as long as her slender arm: celebrated DJ, author, watch designer, businesswoman and entrepreneur, accomplished traveller and doting mom. Yet it seems every time DJ Zinhle trends online it has more to do with what’s happening in her love life instead of being about her considerable achievements. This was recently the case again when her former flame and father of her child was filmed locking lips with another woman in Cape Town. AKA and model Nelli Tembe are seen getting cosy in the video that went viral on social media – and it outraged Zinhle’s fans. Was he once again cheating on her as he did with Bonang Matheba, they wanted to know? Or is he just out to humiliate the woman who’s remained…

COHABITATION: WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? Protect yourself by knowing your rights YOU’RE happily living together and don’t feel any need to make things official by getting married. But what does this mean for your joint finances? Do you have the same rights as married couples when it comes to death, taxes and medical aid? In terms of South African law, couples who aren’t married aren’t recognised as being in a legal union – even if they’ve lived together for decades and consider themselves life partners – so their rights aren’t really protected. In contrast, there are specific laws that regulate married couples’ unions to ensure both parties are safeguarded. However, there are a few laws that do cover cohabiting life partners. Let’s take a look. MEDICAL AID Apart from…

WHEN his son hit his final year at university, he felt a fundamental shift. After working hard for so many years to give his only child a good life, Jamie Bartlett decided the time had come to focus on himself. Having spent the past 13 years playing David Genaro in Rhythm City, he wanted to spread his wings, so he quit the popular soap. “I’ve been playing David for a long time – I’m not saying he’s easy, but my God, we have explored every part of him,” Jamie tells DRUM. “I know what he smells like, I know how much wax he has in his ears. It had come to an end.” David will go down as one of the meanest men in Mzansi soapies – the guy who…

NO, I’M THE GREATEST! UNDEFEATED boxing champion FLOYD MAYWEATHER is not feeling the love for superstar basketball player LEBRON JAMES, recently named male athlete of the decade. “I love LeBron James but when we talking about athlete of the decade, that’s me [sic],” he told podcast Drink Champs. “That’s me. Hands down.” The 43-year-old retired champ – who has a 50-0 record and who was a world champion in five weight divisions – humbly added this is in fact his second snub, as he should have had the title for the previous decade too. “We talking about from 1996 to 2020… and I’ve never received athlete of the decade. At the top of Forbes and I’m my own boss,” said Floyd of the title, which was awarded by the Associated…

HE KEPT HIS STATUS SECRET Q I’ve been dating a guy for seven months and recently found out he’s HIV-positive. I went for a test but I’m negative. I really love the guy but I hate that he’s been hiding this from me and I fear for my own health. He’s been continuously asking me to have a baby with him, which I’m not prepared to do because of his health issues. I’m not sure I can trust this guy and I’m too young to have this stress. What do you suggest? CONCERNED, SMS A It’s sad your partner didn’t see a need to be honest about his status from the get-go. This means your relationship started with a lie. Although he might argue he had his reasons for not…
