MOHAU KEKANA Since I don’t feel safe in Johannesburg, I think the safety issue should be improved and I know it’s probably not going change soon but that’s the one thing in South Africa I’d like improved by next year. SARAH PINTO I just want more job opportunities for our children in 2016 because our children are sitting at home with their qualifications. JOEL MOGOLANE I would like to see students being able to register without any hassles for next year and directors should cancel all students’ outstanding fees. NTSIKI NTLEMEZA More jobs, free education for all and a cleaner environment – my wish list for 2016. TEBOHO METSING I would like to see a change of attitude among South Africans. We must work harder, be more accountable, and stop…

AS THE AMERICAN philosopher Sam Keen once said: “You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.” These words resonate with Criselda and Siyolo Dudumashe, who said their “I do’s” on a winter’s day in Joburg in June. Now, six months later, Siyolo’s wife’s face is still the picture of love and happiness. We meet the Metro FM DJ and her businessman husband in Auckland Park at the luxurious The View Boutique Hotel. We find Siyolo sitting on the balcony which offers a spectacular view of the area. He’s sipping a cup of warm water with lemon, and indicates that he has a touch of flu. Stylishly clad in a black outfit, Criselda soon joins us and we proceed to our photoshoot.…

IT’S NOT every day a new artist scoops the coveted Song of the Year Award at the South African Hip Hop Awards, but Emtee did it with his hot track Roll Up. The 23-year-old (born Mthembeni Ndevu) has proven that perseverance is indeed the key to success. After finishing matric, he didn’t enrol at a tertiary institution because of his low marks and his only hope was making music. However, in the past few months his dream was realised through perseverance, and a good measure of talent. He released his 18-track début album, Avery, and has worked with admired hip-hop artists such as AKA and Wizkid on the remix of Roll Up. Speaking to us, the rapper says his newfound fame didn’t come as a surprise because he always knew…

SOME CHILDREN walk into their Grade One class confidently with a happy wave to mom or dad as they leave. For others, it can be an anxious time at a new school far removed from their close friends. Anything new is scary even for adults, and even more so for children. Claudia Abelheim, an educational psychologist with The Family Life Centre, shares tips on how parents can make the transition to “big school” easier on their little ones. PREPARE YOUR CHILD 1 Talk about their fears. Talk to your child and find out what scares them when thinking about the first day at school. “This will be a very big change for them and with change always comes a bit of anxiety,” Claudia says. “Help your child understand what they’re…

THE FESTIVE season is over and perhaps you ate and drank a little more than you should have. Now, you’re left with a little extra padding around your middle. To many people, going on a detox diet might seem like a good idea because you think it’ll clean out your system and give you a fresh start. But it might come as a surprise that detoxing can actually harm your health. Here’s why you should cut back on detox diets and find a few alternative ways to give your body a boost. WHAT IS A DETOX DIET? Detox diets usually involve drinking only liquids such as water, fruit or vegetable juice, rooibos tea and black coffee or tea, and eating only fresh, raw fruit and vegetables, yoghurt and water. These…

AT THE start of a new year, there are always concerns about making provision for what’s to come. For those who have young children, the greatest concern at this time of the year is where is the money for school fees, school uniforms and transport going to come from? All these questions, and many others, centre around making adequate provision for the future. Matthew 7:7-11 says: Ask and God will provide for us, knock and the door will be open, seek and we shall find. All these requests are made to God. If humans can provide for their children, how much more is God able to provide for his flock that the things they request? DON’T FORGET TO PRAY Matthew 18:19 also encourages us to use a prayer of agreement.…

DADDY DEAREST For his new single Daddy, the South Korean muso teamed up with K-pop (Korean pop) “it girl” Lee Chae-rin, better known as CL from the music group 2NE1. “I really like her as a human being, but I really like her as a female rapper,” PSY explains. “She has great voice, great flows, and also great dances.” MOVES LIKE JAGGER The four-minute music video shows the 37-year-old portraying several different characters including a baby, child, father and grandfather. And just like his smash hit Gangnam Style, Daddy has a special dance that involves a hopping two step and flailing arms. RECORD BREAKER No doubt Psy is hoping for similar success to his 2012 hit, but that’s one tall order as Gangnam Style has over 2.46 billion views on…

1 Join a volunteer programme or offer your services to a charity. You might even be able to find a charity that offers a service in line with what you plan to study, for example, aspiring veterinarians could volunteer at animal-rescue organisations. 2 Fit in a short course that would be useful in any field. You could learn another language or do a computer course or something more specialised that could help when you eventually start studying. 3 Once you’re sure about what you’d like to study, research bursaries offered in that field and see if you meet the requirements. 4 Planning to save money to pay for your studies? Look for work in a field closely linked to the career you’d like to follow. For example, you could work…

SOME OF our most-loved and admired celebs believe in making New Year’s resolutions, while others believe in the less structured, more spontaneous approach. But either way, it’s that time of year when most people like to take stock of their lives and reflect on the year that has been, and the one ahead. A big part of this, of course, is ascertaining whether or not we have succeeded in achieving the goals we set ourselves, and looking forward to setting new ones. SELF-IMPROVEMENT To find out what some of your favourite stars have set their sights on in the New Year, we caught up with some of them. Scandal! actress Fulu Mugovhani, who is the lead in the internationally-acclaimed movie Ayanda and the Mechanic, says some of her New Year’s…

One the PSL’s most eloquent coaches, former school teacher Steve has been dishing out quite a number of memorable quotes ever since launching his coaching career in the PSL. Here are some of them: On an unconvincing win in the Nedbank Cup match: “We didn’t play well, but we won. We now have to wait for the next team. We go on and we hope to improve from here. Statistics are like a bikini - they don’t reveal everything.” On the pressures of coaching: “There are certain positions that you can never wish for. You have to be put there. If you wish for it, this job involves high pressure. A man’s hair turns grey in no time. “Don’t ask for trouble but if granted the opportunity to handle the…

POWER OF WORDS It’s so surprising that Julius Malema’s words always make people angry. Yet, his words have never had a negative impact or badly affected our economy, with everyone lashing out at him saying he’s a threat to our democracy and he’s on the verge of destroying the country. The big boss’ actions dropped our rand so much that every sector is now saying that the President, who is so protected, is now a threat to our democracy and business. What a shame that our people judge only those who open our eyes, but fail to react to the real danger that our democratic country is facing. L WA GA-MPHAHLELE, MARALALENG DRINKING AND DRIVING Driving a car when you’ve had too much to drink is something our communities experience…

SHE WAS a big hit with Muvhango fans when she played the role of Agnes Mukwevho, and later went on to play a security guard named Pretty in e.tv’s Scandal! But behind the scenes, viewers could not have imagined her struggles on the home front. It will come as a surprise to many to hear that beautiful actress and businesswoman Millicent Tshiwela Makhado was in an abusive marriage. Now, two years after the collapse of her marriage, she’s finally ready to share her pain with the world. WARNING SIGNS We meet the beauty at the upmarket Protea Hotel Midrand and we immediately sense her reluctance to talk to us about this very difficult subject. “I really agonised over this interview, but perhaps doing it will help someone,” Millicent explains. “I…

BARBIE is hardly an African icon. But finding a replacement doll for our little girls is a problem, as the blue-eyed blonde with a tiny waist and her clones still fill the shelves of our toy stores. For many years, black parents in particular struggled to find dolls that their children could relate to. But one mother made it her mission to change the status quo. Molemo Kgomo, a 44-year-old mom of two girls, decided to create dolls that represent South Africa’s cultural diversity. The owner of Nomhlekhabo Trading in Bedfordview, east of Johannesburg, spent 10 years working on her dream. And now her dolls have started to take off and are selling beyond our own borders in the UK and US. Sold under the brand name Ntomb’entle, a Nguni…

Q SHE IS DISRESPECTFUL I’m 37 and have been in a dating relationship for seven years and we have two kids. I love her but she shows me no respect. She talks to me like I’m nothing and says I’m jealous. Please help. S.A.K, SMS AYou’ve been with this woman for seven years and have two kids. Why aren’t you married? I’m asking because it seems that this is a situation where no one is winning. If you both feel that the other person must respect you, but won’t reciprocate respect, then you are in a warzone and not in a relationship. The difference is that in a warzone, there can only be one winner. In a relationship, everyone needs to win. The two of you need to grow up…

EXPERIENCE ADVENTURE You’re a ball of energy with no job, no debt, few family obligations and little worries. Chances are you won’t get another chance to travel and live as freely as you will in your gap year. Embrace it! YOU’LL HAVE PERSPECTIVE If you’ve experienced the wider world you’ll have a better sense of what life is about and realise that attending every party at varsity or college need not be your No 1 priority. IT MIGHT MEAN BETTER RESULTS A study of colleges and universities in America found students who took a gap year obtained results that were on average 6 % higher than those of their peers. MORE DIRECTION Often students enrol for a course, realise it’s not for them and change to something completely different. This…

In the course of history there have been various national leaders and political parties that realised how powerful books could be which is why they banned certain books and even burnt them. Here are a few: 1525 William Tyndale completes the first translation of the Bible into English. The Roman Catholic Church considered this a crime and burnt a copy a year later. Tyndale was eventually sentenced to death, but by that stage thousands of copies of his translation were in use. 1559 The Vatican publishes its Index Librorum Prohibitorum – a list of forbidden books – for the first time. This list was last printed in 1966. 1933 The Nazis hold book burnings in Germany. Any books regarded as anti-German are burnt. 2015 Militant members of Islamic State of…

IN BOARDING school she was the go-to girl to fix all broken appliances, something most would entrust to a skilled repairman. But Xoliswa Kakana (51) was no ordinary girl, and from the outset she wanted to stand out in a man’s world. Today, she runs one of South Africa’s most successful information and communications technology (ICT) companies, ICT-Works. Xoliswa along with her business partners, Sindile Ncala and Margaret Sibiya, head the 100 % black women-owned multimillion-rand company. To date, the company has procured some of the largest deals providing innovative technology solutions in SA and across the African continent, while winning multiple awards. TRIAL AND ERROR ICT-Works employs 120 people and Xoliswa says she has learnt how to be a leader by trial and error. “I also learnt my leadership…

WHY JZ MUST BE VERY WORRIED PRESIDENT Jacob Zuma’s days are numbered and he knows it too. Despite the ANC trying very hard to protect him, the man’s a total disaster and he needs to go. As some analysts have rightly pointed out, he’s like the ‘big elephant’ in the room. No one in the ANC is courageous enough to speak up to the old man. Despite claiming they will ‘rule until Jesus returns’, the ANC is slowly losing the trust of voters. It won’t come as a surprise if they perform badly in the upcoming municipal elections. And they better be worried about these four men: Julius Malema, Joseph Mathunjwa, Zwelinzima Vavi and Irvin Jim. All of them have not minced their words when it comes to their scathing…

IT WAS Friday 9 August 2013, and he was taking his mother, sisters and cousins for breakfast to celebrate National Women’s Day. Among the group was his favourite cousin, Palesa Madiba (22), whom he describes as beautiful, kind-hearted and lovable. Thabiso Tsoledi (29) remembers that day very well because it was the last day he ever saw her. GONE WITHOUT A TRACE After breakfast, Palesa asked her aunt if she could visit her mother, Khosi Kgalisitwe, who lives in Protea Glen, Soweto. Thabiso offered to give her a lift, but she opted to take a taxi instead. It was Friday afternoon and they expected Palesa to return the following Monday night, but she never came back. “On Monday night, her best friend Tshidi Mkhwanazi (22) came to our home accompanied…

BACK-TO-SCHOOL TIPS 1 Go through your desk drawer and school bag to see what you have from last year that you can still use, so you don’t have to buy everything on the teacher’s list new. 2 Stick to the teacher’s list, as extra supplies might be cute, but will probably never get used. 3 Buy the basics in bulk where you can, like a pack of 10 pencils or 3 glue sticks, etc. 4 Figure out where quality counts: blunt sharpeners and scissors are useless and pens that leak create a huge mess. Also, less expensive backpacks might not last a full year’s use. 5 Avoid flashy items and labels, which cost more. 6 Separate wants from needs. Restrict supplies to what is really necessary and useful, and not…

BEFORE THANDI’S STORY Thandi Tyalana (37) is a mom of four from Joburg. “I will be going back to work soon and I’m uncomfortable about my dress sense. I feel like I don’t dress well enough for my curves and would like to minimise the negative attention I get when I walk anywhere.” THANDI’S REACTION “The team taught me tricks I didn’t think could work for me. For example, the short dress with heels looked so good and gave me confidence. “And being able to mix different colours with basics to take the attention away from my hips was an eye-opener.” DATE NIGHT Peplum tops are an instant waist-definer. Pair them with a straight-cut skirt for an hourglass shape. FUN AND FLIRTY Full skirts are a great way to disguise…

IT’S EASY to become confused about diets – we’re almost constantly bombarded with information about the “best” way to lose weight. But here is the diet that’s proved its worth over the centuries – the Mediterranean diet, which is in fact more of an eating plan and a way of life than a diet. So you want to lose weight, prevent heart disease, lower your cholesterol count and risk of Alzheimer’s disease, manage your type 2 diabetes and live longer? It’s been proved these are all benefits of eating the Mediterranean way. Dieticians Dianne Ivison and Berna Harmse have devised eating plans for the next three weeks and will also give you advice and tips. They say it’s been shown that about 30 % of heart attacks, strokes and deaths…

Q CAN I CONCEIVE? In February 2011, I had an ectopic pregnancy (when the foetus develops in one of the Fallopian tubes outside the womb) and in April last year I had a miscarriage. Now, my boyfriend and I want a child and I’m scared I might not be able to fall pregnant. Could the contraceptive Pill be the reason for both my failed pregnancies and what are my chances of carrying to term? HOPEFUL, SOWETO A With your history, you will have to visit a gynae to see whether you still have healthy Fallopian tubes. A gynaecological exam – and additional diagnostic tools used to see if the Fallopian tubes are open and unobstructed – will be conducted. Contraceptives are female hormones that are actually harmless, even if you…

If you don’t master the financial aspects of a business, it becomes almost impossible for your small business to be sustainable and last into the future, warns The Hope Factory. The NGO, which aims to grow people, develop businesses and impact communities through their unique mentorship model, shares this advice: “Most small businesses are started on the back of a single concept and not necessarily from a thoroughly researched sustainable business opportunity. As a result, many startups don’t start out with a detailed operational or business plan. “This includes a feasibility study, target market analysis and extensive industry and market knowledge, among other things. “Having a detailed plan from the start lowers the learning curve, which will effectively lower the running costs in the long run.” For business or mentorship…

Due to financial problems, and the fact that all the tertiary institutions I applied to were full, I took a gap year after matric in 2013. It taught me a lot of things, like finding and doing research on what I wanted to do in the next year. I would recommend taking a gap year if you can because if you jump in to a course that you didn’t actually research, you’ll end up confused and probably change courses, which wastes time and money. I took a gap year in 2012 after I matriculated because I wasn’t sure what I wanted to study, so taking a gap year was more like a year to discover my passion and what I’m good at. Instead of sitting at home and doing nothing,…

HE’S A man of style and a snappy dresser who cruises flamboyantly around in a top-of-the-range silver Lamborghini Gallardo. He’s also a man journalists can always count on for the best sound bites because of his philosophical but often controversial quotes. In fact, many have even referred to him as Mzansi’s own José Mourinho, the outspoken Chelsea former manager who is never far from controversy. Steve Komphela – just like Mourinho – is never one to run out of words, whether his team has triumphed or tasted defeat. But the forever jovial Amakhosi coach must have had the worst Christmas ever following Amakhosi’s poor run in cup competitions in 2015. TAKING ON THE CHALLENGE Coaching a team like Kaizer Chiefs is no mean feat. Over the years coaches have come…

THEY SEEM to have it all: youth, wealth, fame, stunning bodies and top designers beating a path to their lavish doors. We look at what some of our favourite young Hollywood style icons wore on red carpets last year, and how they wowed us with their unique styles and designer dresses. What would a list of young style stars be without pop princess/fashionista RIHANNA? She always surprises with her off-beat taste, and none more so than when she stepped out in a giant pink creation by Giambattista Valli at the Grammys. Giving RiRi a run for her money on the red carpet are the Jenner sisters. We loved the shimmery Steven Khalil gown KYLIE JENNER wore to the GQ and Giorgio Armani Grammys after-party, while older sister model KENDALL JENNER…
