HE’S NOT PAYING LOBOLA Q I’m 34 and I have one child who is 10 years old. I have been in a relationship with her father for 14 years. We love each other a lot but this guy has not paid lobola or shown any indication that he wants to marry me any time soon. It’s frustrating me so badly, spiritually and emotionally. He earns a good salary so I don’t know what the problem is. Both our families have talked to him about this, and he just says he’ll marry me then he does nothing when it’s time to pay. My salary is too little for me to move out and I don’t want to go back home. Our daughter has a good relationship with her father, and she…

Keeping it real SHE’S made no secret of having a new lover but up until recently CHRISTALL KAY has pretty much kept him all to herself. So we were thrilled to lay eyes on her mystery man when The Real Housewives of Johannesburg star was seen out with her new bae, who she only identified as MARK, at the South African launch of MiclnGrace Studios. Christall has been dating Mark, a UK-born businessman who lives in Joburg, for four months. “We’re still getting to know each other but I’m happy so far. He’s a great man who loves me and my son,” she tells DRUM. She’s not the only RHOJ star to have moved on. BRINNETTE SEOPELA has also found love with a new man. Although she hasn’t revealed his…

WE’RE living in a country where unemployment is a crisis. Parents must encourage their kids to venture into engineering fields at TVET colleges and stop forcing them to do degrees that will see them graduating only to swell the ranks of unemployed graduates. Yes, it is true that some people see colleges as inferior to universities, but what is the use in pursuing skills that aren’t in demand? It’s time to change the way we look at higher education. Universities aren’t meant for everyone and some careers require employees to have practical training at tertiary level. It is highly unlikely that an engineering graduate from a college will end up sitting at home. By their second year, engineering students can stand on their own and could even start a successful…

SHE’S worked with some of the biggest names in Mzansi, but you’re not likely to find her rubbing shoulders with fellow celebrities at exclusive events. The idea of mingling with masses of people typically makes Thabsie break into a sweat. The usually painfully shy singer is in a sharing mood today and we’re delighted to be catching up with the 28-year-old in her beautiful home outside Centurion. Here we finally get to know the woman who has made a name for herself as an R&B sensation. Thabsie is casually dressed in jeans and a grey top, but still manages to look like she’s just stepped off a fashion runway. She shares the large house with her husband, Thando Vokwana (34), and their two dogs. The couple have been happily married…

TIP When wearing a solid-coloured sneaker, be adventurous with your socks and choose prints and patterns that accentuate the colour of your kicks. TIP Classic colours go well together, for example a black outfit and white sneakers. Pair vibrant-coloured sneakers with a plain outfit for a bit of flare. GUM SOLES ARE BACK! Are the soles really made of gum? Well, kind of. Gum sole is a natural rubber that can be derived from the hevea brasiliensis tree – commonly known as the rubber tree. The gum sole is acquired through tapping rubber trees. A milky white fluid is released that’s mainly a type of latex, which is then treated with heat to break up its proteins to produce rubber. After it has been treated, a broad and sticky sheet…

IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE OVER INSURED? Q I was listening to the radio and heard that if you have funeral insurance exceeding R100 000 you’re in fact overinsured and some of the money might not be paid when needed. Is this true? ANONYMOUS, SMS A There is currently no law that imposes a limit on the amount insurance companies can pay on funeral policies. However, each and every insurance company has terms and conditions which are important to read and understand before you take out a policy. Some insurance companies may state in their terms that when an insured person dies, the amount payable for funeral benefits should not be more than R100 000. ‘Every insurance company has terms and conditions, which are important to read’ HOW CAN I…

VEG BY JAMIE OLIVER (MICHAEL JOSEPH) R329* In his intro the much-loved TV chef explains that this book isn’t just aimed at vegetarians but also meat-eaters who feel they’re stuck in a rut and are ready to try something new. Like with most of restaurateur Jamie Oliver’s other cookbooks, what he’s serving up here is drawn from what he and his family like to eat at home. At almost 300 pages, there are plenty of options in this beautifully photographed cookbook which is a companion to Jamie’s TV series – from stews, curries, noodle dishes, pies, burgers and pastas to one-pan wonders and tray bakes. There are lots of recipes that I can’t wait to try, such as the vibrant bhel puri salad – which is made from popped rice,…

THERE are 135 species of buck, also known as antelopes, of which 33 are found in Southern Africa. In this region they vary in size from the tiny Damaradikdik, which is about the size of a rabbit, to the majestic eland, which stands about 1,7m tall and can weigh more than 700kg.

Before his appointment, Rhulani Mokwena (33) was assistant coach at Orlando Pirates. He took on the job in 2017 but stepped into the position of caretaker coach when Milutin “Micho” Sredojević quit. Now Mokwena is finally realising his dream of becoming head coach. And he can’t wait to kick off. “Already when I arrived you could feel the warmth and the welcome and could already give a feeling of hospitality for being here,” he said when he arrived in PE to take on his new role. “For now, I feel I am in the right place.”…

HE’S a well-known actor with a long list of acting credits, but we bet you didn’t know he’s also his biggest critic. FEZILE MAKHANYA is certainly no stranger to the small screen but he still can’t get used to seeing himself on TV, he tells us. And it’s no different with his new role in Uzalo, says the actor, who recently joined the popular SABC1 show. “I enjoy it as much as everyone else does but obviously you critique yourself,” says Fezile, who plays savvy businessman Mpumelelo in the soap. We played a quick game of countdown with Fezile – and you may be surprised to learn he’s quite the funnyman! 5 minutes to make something to eat – what will you make? Broccoli, cottage cheese and pilchards. Not those…

Pearl Thusi has pleaded with fans not to illegally download her new Netflix series, Queen Sono. DRUM readers shared their thoughts. My dearest Pearl, these kids today don’t listen to their moms/dads/teachers and principals … Do you really think they will listen to you? CHRISTA UIRAS I think it’s too late for that!

LADIES love a good pamper session and manis and pedis are up there with our favourite treatments. But something as simple as nail grooming can be done in the comfort of your own home, and you can save money while you’re at it. CUTTING & FILING Cutting and filing your nails are the basics of keeping them in shape. When cutting nails, try not to cut too close to the skin, as you may end up piercing the skin and causing an infection. Use smaller rounded clippers for your hands and use big clippers for your big toenail. Cut the nail at an angle from one end to the other – following the shape of your nail. The shape of the nail clipper doesn’t match the shape of your nail,…

ARE you aware that when you sign up for a life-insurance policy, you have a choice between fixed monthly premiums and escalating monthly premiums? Not many people know this, so most automatically choose the escalating premium because in the beginning it’s more affordable. Set premiums, on the other hand, are initially more expensive but they never go up – so you won’t be in for any nasty surprises down the line. It’s important to know what you’re going to pay. HOW ARE PREMIUMS CALCULATED? Every person’s premium is unique to them – so even if you’re the same age as a friend and with the same insurance company, you’ll probably be paying different amounts. The factors used to measure your risk include gender, age, physical health and lifestyle. For example,…
