Innholdsfortegnelse for August 2020 i True Love

Once a year – for the third time running – we celebrate female trailblazers who are making a huge mark for women in our Class of 2020. This year is no different as we unearth hidden gems with phenomenal skills and talents. To our class of 2020 – we salute you!

The team has ensured that every single page in this issue is the ultimate boss-lady guide. Our career feature gives you a step-by-step guide on how you can work your way towards owning your own business and build an independent legacy. I believe that if women are empowered, they are more likely to uplift not only their families, but also…

MOLEBOGENG SIKWE My shoes, whether heels or flats, give me that extra confidence I need. They’re a reminder to always walk tall and put my best foot forward. Additionally, when I’m wearing my favourite shoes I remember that I don’t wear them on some days, and so end up not looking as amazing. This reminds me never to forget the bad times, but never to stay there mentally; that I must always dress up and show up, no matter the shoes I’m wearing. KATLEGO & KUTLWANO POOE Our superpower item is the Africa Your Time is Now T-shirt. It reminds us that we are beautiful African queens who can conquer the world. It also reminds us that we should be proud to be black and African. UNATHI SIBEKO Definitely my…

EYE JEWELS It’s safe to say that this throwback make-up trend isn’t going anywhere. So, channel your inner child with some gold studs or pearls on your lid. Look to the Paris Fashion Week models adorned by dramatic studs at Giambattista Valli, and shimmering gold studs at Valentino. If you’re hesitant, start small – add one or two gold studs near the corners of your eyes or glitter eyeshadow. Make your look last throughout the day by applying an eyeshadow primer. FLOATING EYELINER Say hello to a new twist to the infamous cat eye! Yes, your eyeliner doesn’t have to stick to your lash line anymore. Grab a liner, and colour outside the lines by recreating this 2020 make-up trend. The floating liner look is the perfect way to accentuate…

Wash your natural hair in sections: The best way to prevent knots and tangles, that can lead to breakage, is to wash and condition your hair in sections. This will make the detangling process easier. Comb when your hair is damp: Avoid detangling your hair when it’s dry. This will only leave you with brittle ends and damaged hair. Damp hair gives it the moisture it needs so you can comb and detangle easier. Seal in moisture: Whenever you feel that your hair or the ends feel dry, moisturise it. This is especially so for your ends as they’re likely to break off when dry. Stick to one moisturising product to avoid build-up. Protect: Your hair is a lot healthier and less likely to break when there’s no pressure on…

Heels or sneakers? Both. I would never wear sneakers to my 30th birthday shenanigans – I want to wear heels. But, if I’m going to the store, I’m definitely wearing sneakers. Favourite meal? Definitely salmon with some steamed veggies – I know, boring right? Bucket list destination? Bora Bora – that’s even my future honeymoon destination. It looks really romantic, serene and beautiful. Favourite music genre? I like all music. But, since I’m a 90s kid, I lean more towards old-school music such as hip hop and R&B. Are you dating a famous person? No, I’m not seeing anyone in the limelight [chuckles].…

Who is Thembinkosi when no one is watching? A typical township guy who’s humble and respectful. I’m always mindful of how I treat others. I’m not really out there, and prefer to keep things simple. I mind my own business and it works for me. Describe your childhood in five words. Fun, adventurous, disciplined, challenging and sometimes bullied. Let’s just say I wasn’t the strongest fighter in primary school. Describe your current life in five words. Exciting, demanding, celebratory, transforming and blessed. How did you land up in acting? I was a soccer player before acting; I’m from kwaNdengezi, Durban, and I played for a local team called Brazil Academy. However, I realised that I yearned for something more and different. I remembered how much I enjoyed drama class in…

ILLUMINATE For a glowing and contoured face, apply a bronze gold highlighter or shimmer stick on your cheekbones and nose. SPARKLE Bedazzle your eyes with glitter or 3D embellishments. But, apply a primer beforehand to make sure that your jewels stay put all-day long. BODY SHIMMER You can easily achieve a golden complexion and body that glows by applying a bronzing body oil. Apply extra bronzer on your shoulders to ensure that they’re also on their best display. GLOSSY Accentuate your pout with a gold lip gloss or liner. The lip gloss will balance out your bold eye make-up. ALL-DAY GLOW Gold make-up can easily smudge or come off. So, make sure your look stays glistening throughout the day by spraying a setting mist after application. BEAUTY BEAUTY GOLD RUSH…

Many people want to start their own businesses, and for different reasons. While others want to call the shots via virtual meetings while on holiday, others see a gap to monetise in the market, and some want to secure a financially stable future for their children. Whatever your reason, it is important to start with a strong foundation, that includes passion and perseverance, upon which to build the success of your entity. Take Farah Fortune for example – the Johannesburg-based founder of African Star Communications, a corporate and public relations company that looks after celebrities like rapper Solo plus comedians Trevor Gumbi and Jason Goliath. It offers event management. Why did she want to start her own, successful business? “I was inspired by the need to provide a better life…

Believe in your vision. Believe that your vision is going to benefit you and the people you want to reach. If you don’t, you’ll struggle to find solutions to ensure that it gets to your target market. Test the validity of ideas. It is so easy to generate an idea and immediately think that because you think it’s great, then it’s going to work. If you don’t test your idea, it will be difficult to convince prospective buyers that it’s worth it. Get capital from within. When your investors are people who know you and have heard you speak, then they will have a vested interest in seeing you win and fine-tuning your train of thought, insights and vision. Mentorship is key. Choosing mentors provides an instant sounding board of…

When superstar Taylor Swift told Vanity Fair that “there’s aspecial place in hell for women who aren’t supportive of other women!”, she was hitting back at comedians Tina Fey and Amy Poehler for joking about her love life. But, the quote, originally attributed to US diplomat Madeleine Albright, crops up constantly because it strikes a chord for every woman who understands the power of sisterhood – women supporting others. This is a power that black South African women, particularly, have long recognised, as they battle the double burden of apartheid-entrenched race discrimination plus that of discrimination on the grounds of their gender. Yet, while big strides have been made on the race front, women still wrestle at work with unconscious gender bias and pay inequality, not to mention sexual harassment.…

The Bible tells us that the wife of a prophet cried out to Elisha: “Your servant, my husband, is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But, now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.” This was a godly woman. The Bible doesn’t tell us her name because it could be any one of us. She had married a man of God. But, now he was dead, and her debts had piled up to the point where she faced losing her two sons as well. She is clearly distraught and has suffered great loss. It’s bad enough to be dealing with grief, but now on top of that, she’s also dealing with debt. You would think that serving God would make you immune…

In line with the strict maximum daily dose allowed according to South Africa’s new legislation on CBD products, local pharmaceutical conglomerate Adcock Ingram recently announced the launch of its ADCO CBD range. It consists of a variety of drops and capsules formulated with CBD isolate, that is the purest form of CBD. It effectively targets pain and stress. Because the range contains 20 mg CBD per dose, which is free from (THC), the company guarantees that it will not leave you feeling “high”.

“ANY FURNISHINGS SHOULD BE DURABLE, WASHABLE AND STAIN-RESISTANT. IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO USE A WASHABLE SHEEN PAINT THAT CAN PROTECT WALLS FROM FINGER PRINTS AND CRAYONS. CHOOSE DARK TONES FOR COUCHES AND CHAIRS.” – LEE-ANN BELL OF MEZZANINE INTERIORS…

What inspires your music? People and their energies, but most of all, I’m inspired by my past experiences in life. It’s easier to tell a story that I’ve experienced in some way. I’m also shy, so music makes it easier for me to get things off my chest. What’s your favourite song that you’ve worked on? AM Battle. Ireleased it about a year ago, and really loved working on it. But, I’m excited about my new records because I feel like I’ve evolved as a musician. This comes through in my new music, and I love it. What does music mean to you? It’s all that I am. It’s a platform where I can express myself fully without any limitations, and I’m aware of myself when in that moment. It’s…

FRESH REEBOK COLLECTION Rapper Nadia Nakai, who is the brand ambassador for Reebok, recently posted shots of herself rocking the new Reebok x Victoria Beckham Activewear Collection. From the pictures she posted on her feed, the collection looks really fresh. “I want clothes that move with me; that move with my life.

1 Avoid shaking your nail polish before using it as it can show up as tiny bubbles when you paint your nails. Instead, roll the bottle between your hands to mix the formula properly. 2 Apply a base coat and finish off with a top one. Not only will this protect your nails from stains, but it will also intensify the colour of the polish with just one coat. A top coat will give your nails a glossy finish, and prevent or minimise chipping. 3 Coating on thick layers of nail polish can result in an uneven and bubbly finish. Stick to two coats of polish for a smooth and long-lasting professional look. 4 Don’t apply polish to wet or oily nails. Keep your hand dry before application. Avoid excessive…

01 DR KAGISO MOTSE, 35 SPECIALIST PHYSICIAN AND NEPHROLOGIST. HER GOAL IS TO BE AN ETERNAL STUDENT, WHICH IN TURN MAKES HER A BETTER CLINICIAN AND AN EVEN BETTER TEACHER. SHE HOPES TO PRACTISE MEDICINE AND HER SUB-SPECIALITY IN A MANNER THAT LEAVES PATIENTS FEELING HOPEFUL, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE DIAGNOSIS OR PROGNOSIS OF THEIR DISEASE. “In the words of late Kenyan activist Wangari Maathai, ‘You cannot enslave a mind that knows itself, that values itself, that understands itself’. I haven’t always known what I wanted, but I have always known what I didn’t want, what made me feel less than, and what I needed to avoid. It is important to figure out what you want and are willing to sacrifice for it – then pursue it, relentlessly, at your own…

Sneakers or formal shoes? Sneakers, even though I look good in formal shoes. They’re comfortable. Old-school kwaito, gqom or amapiano? Gqom as it’s proudly KZN, and great for a dancer like me. City that tops travel bucket list? Grahamstown. I’d love to go purely to participate in one of the productions at the Grahamstown Arts Festival. What Ilove about being a South African is… We’re fun people who don’t take things too seriously. I have the biggest celebrity crush on… Natasha Thahane; she has a beautiful face.…

“Winning is great, sure. But, if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.”— LATE WILMA RUDOLPH, WORLD-RECORD-HOLDING OLYMPIC CHAMPION AND INTERNATIONAL SPORTS ICON IN TRACK AND FIELD…

Are you struggling to get back in the saddle after taking leave? The Forbes Coaches Council suggests minimising your distractions, and creating a “weekly schedule in advance for personal and work tasks”. “Procrastination is the enemy of efficiency,” says Forbes contributor Tracey Grove. Make a to-do list, and set aside time to complete it. Ruby Peak Recruiting says prepare yourself mentally because “this helps your mind and body get back into work mode”. About 18% of businesses in South Africa are owned by women.…

“I’m a vibrant, caring and creative human being who fell in love with medicine at a very early age. The desire to help and serve people has been a driving force for most of my passions. I am a scientist, and also a curiosity specialist – I specialise in being curious and discovering everything that I can about life,” shares founder of MediSpace Lifestyle Institute, health advocate, speaker, celebrated author and entrepreneur Dr Tshidi Gule. She believes that her passion as a proud black woman embodies all the great values that her parents instilled in her. A SERIES OF LEARNING EXPERIENCES Being daring enough to take on one of the least-travelled roads of entrepreneurship – finding yourself learning something new about the world, yourself, people and about the reality of…

When Taylor Swift accepted the first Women of the Decade Award at Billboard Women in Music annual event in December, she used it to address her battle with music executive Scooter Braun, who acquired the masters to her first albums without consultation or consent. “The definition of toxic male privilege in our industry is people saying, ‘But, he’s always been nice to me’, when I’m raising valid concerns.” Through the legal battle that followed, she was uplifted by “the women who would have my back, and show me the most vocal support. Iwill never, ever forget it.” Great lifters 1. Beyoncé: Dedicated to keeping control over her work, she directs and edits her own movies, like Homecoming. She surrounds herself with other powerful women creatives such as Queen & Slim…

Yolanda Mabuto*, 33, Rotterdam, the Netherlands How did you hear about yoni steaming? From YouTube videos plus health and well-being bloggers. What had you heard? Black women were sharing positive experiences, and how it had helped them manage painful periods. What was your health concern? Painful periods. Reservations before trying it? That I would burn myself! Describe your experience. I boil water, place the teabag in to steep, pour it into the seat (that sits in my toilet), then sit for around 20 minutes. It’s really relaxing. How often do you steam? Once or twice a week. Has it worked? I’ve only just started, so it’s hard to tell. But, even just steaming is a good exercise of self-care and taking time out for myself. It hasn’t had a negative…

HOW STRONG AM I? THE TEST: One-repetition maximum What is it? A straightforward, one-push test in which you try to shift as much weight as possible in one go. Joanna Berggren, co-founder and personal trainer at Nordic Balance (www. nordicbalance.co.uk), believes it to be “the very best way to determine your strength”. How do I do it? “Firstly, warm up the part of the body you’re working,” Berggren advises. “Then, find a heavy weight that you can’t lift more than a few times. The most common move is a bench press with a barbell. With a spotter at hand, lift the weight once and bring it back to the starting position.” Perform this one-repetition maximum with the heaviest weight you can manage comfortably and safely. What does it show? This…

CRISIS: A rogue scratch ruins your new paint job. WHAT TO DO: Paint the scratch. PARTNER REQUIRED? No. You know how it is: you squeeze into a tight parking spot. When you come back, the car you had parked next to is gone, and you notice an ugly scratch left by the driver’s door when they opened it. Getting the whole door panel painted will cost at least R6 000 depending on where you go and the type of paint used. But, unless the scratch runs very deep and long, it is usually not necessary to repaint the whole panel. A good specialist will have the materials and expertise to “touch up” the scratch so that it literally disappears. No evidence of the scratch remains once they’re done, unless you…

Blush is the ultimate hero when it comes to a face beat. It is usually not the main focus. But, draping bright and bold blush from the 70s, including the eyelids, cheeks and temples, is on the rise! COLOUR A rosy or peach-coloured blush is ideal for medium skin tones. Choose a slightly darker colour, then look for a complementary shade that is lighter and more natural. If you have dark skin,choose a colour that isn’t too light so you can avoid looking ashy. Your chosen colour will depend on how dark your skin is. If yours is tan or darker, then deep red or orange colours will suit you best. TOOLS Wouldn’t you like to apply blush to more than just the apples of your cheeks?Use a regular brush…

STYLE Dramatic 80s angled Afros, blunt bobs, swirly edges, stacked high-top bubbles and asymmetrical bobs are making waves again. Take inspiration from actresses Lupita Nyong’o and Danai Gurira – their out-of-the-box shapes and styles prove that our crowns can defy gravity. You can also opt for a slick straight look by laying swirly shaped edges like Pearl Thusi, or a sleek blunt bob. But, make sure your hair is healthy and nourished to avoid breakage. MAINTAIN Keep your natural hair nourished and strong by washing and conditioning it with products containing essential oils like olive and a argan. Use an Afro comb with wide bristles to shape and style your hair, and a avoid breakage and tangling . A moisturising butter or spray will lock in moisture. For your swirly…

Life after Rhythm City has been a beautiful journey of self-discovery. I definitely have more time now. After being on the show for almost a decade, I’ve been taking this time to slow down and reflect. I’ve also been using it to do the things that I’ve always wanted to do, but had to put on hold because I didn’t have the time. I also have more time to spend with my family than I did before. When I first joined the e.tv soapie in 2012, I didn’t think that I would stay on for eight years. It did not even feel like it had been that long because the years went by quickly. Time really passes by quickly when you’re doing what you love, and something you’re passionate about.…

COLOUR MATTERS The colour you wear can determine your mood. So, how about adding a splash of yellow to your day? It symbolises freshness, positivity and joy.

Breathe new life into a staple that is often taken for granted as part of a work ensemble. Play around with it as much…

Book that inspired me as an author… Thrive by Arianna Huffington was a very significant book for me to have the courage to paint my journey and own story. The power of how she used her influence to advocate for something and be consistent and follow through inspired me because that took courage. I felt that I could start something in my small space as an emerging health advocate, find my voice, and be courageous enough to write my thoughts around daring to dream as well as why healthcare is important to me, and how I would like it to influence others. I plan to read… The 80/20 Principle by Richard Koch because I think COVID-19 has been such an interesting time to reassess how we approach work. The principle…

Fire up the libido – Stimulating yourself is often the best way to jump-start your libido and get back in touch with your sex drive. Become more physically active – This will not only improve the way you look, but also the way you feel about your body. Studies show that when you begin to work out, your sex drive often increases. This is due to the increase in testosterone through the physical exertion, and because when you think you look sexier, you begin to feel sexier. Touch your partner as often as possible – Touching does not have to end in intercourse, but it will probably put you in the mood more often. Remember, foreplay starts the moment you wake up in the morning.…

KNAOMI, 29 The media personality and model finds it refreshing and exciting to be in an unfamiliar space. What attracted you to Tunisia? I realised that I had mistakenly prioritised Western travel, and neglected the wonder that is home. Every time I came across images of Tunisia, I was blown away by its beauty. What made the trip worthwhile? I loved being immersed in the Muslim culture. Interestingly, you fly off to Italy, then back to Africa to arrive in Tunisia. What discovery blew your mind about Tunisia? The village of Sidi Bou that looks exactly like Santorini in Italy. It was mind-blowing – from the buildings to the colours and views – it really felt like I was in Santorini. I also found the wooden door features to be…
