OU have to feel for Queen Elizabeth. Not that she’s a pitiful figure – far from it. But no one would begrudge her a quieter life at the age of 93, hanging out more with the corgis, taking tea with her retired husband, smiling indulgently as her great-grandchildren scamper across the lawns, maybe sipping a tipple while watching a spot of telly. Instead what does she get? A family that keeps dishing up one drama after the next. Last year was bookended by disasters: Prince Philip’s car crash at the start and Prince Andrew’s disastrous TV interview at the end. Annus horribilis, that was 2019, and Her Majesty must have been pleased to turn her back on it. But she had little time to catch her breath: Meghan and Harry’s “abdication” has thrown the monarchy into mayhem – and the queen is still front and centre of the “what-now” talks. Lesser mortals may be tempted to take to their bed in a swoon, but one is made of stern stock. Seeing her driving her Land Rover, no-nonsense head scarf and steely expression in place, you realise this nonagenarian is in a league of her own. Our report on the chaos starts on page 8.

Mark recalls seeing Suzette for the first time, walking towards him at the Palazzo Montecasino Hotel in Johannesburg in a white dress. “She was absolutely gorgeous and took my breath away,” he says. Since that first date Mark has sent Suzette a bouquet of flowers every week. “He always makes me feel special,” she says. Although the couple, who have a home together in Dainfern, Johannesburg got engaged about a year into their relation ship neither of them was n any hurry to get busy with wedding preparations But after Marks sister Angela Weston (52) died of cancer in August t brought home to them how fleet ng and precious life is Last year also brought many changes for Suzette.

AIN’T LOVE GRAND!

The article on Suzette van der Merwe’s wedding was fascinating (YOU, 9 January). The story of how she and Mark Weston met and eventually tied the knot is testimony to the fact that love conquers all. Their love is so strong that they didn’t mind taking a long, difficult journey of two flights from South Africa to New Zealand just to say “I do”. Coming from failed previous marriages, Suzette seems to have found her perfect match in Mark. Heartwarming! NANCY KUBU, GA-RANKUWA VIEW

A LETTER TO MY CHILD

Dear child, I hereby would like you to listen to me as your parent. For as long as you still live in this house, you’ll follow my rules. You can make your own rules only in your house. In this house there’s no democracy. Remember I didn’t campaign to be your parent and so you didn’t vote for me. We’re a parent and child by the grace of God, and I accept that privilege and awesome responsibility. We can be close and share whatever we can share but you must always bear in mind we’re not pals. This is 100 times more than what a pal is: I’m your parent and, yes, I can sometimes be a friend to you but we’re on entirely different levels.

As a young bride, my spouse’s gentle puffs of breath didn’t bother me, but as we approached middle age, his snoring reached epic proportions and could make the walls vibrate, even waking him up at times. In order to be bright and chirpy for work the next day I’d occasionally, in desperation, sleep in the spare room. But then we’d both sleep badly as we’d become accustomed to sleeping spoonstyle, always with his arm around my waist. I lost my husband recently and bitterly regret the nights we slept apart. I’d give everything I possess to have him asleep next to me again, and this time his snoring would be music to my ears. SO LONELY, EMAIL

BAD BEHAVIOUR

The letters on toxic bullying really struck a chord (YOU Say, 19 December). I’m a labour consultant and constantly have teachers approach me when they’re poorly treated. Bullying by management teams at schools is endemic. Teachers tend not to have professional management skills and the few who do, often seem attracted to enabling environments where they can be cruel. They’re often incompetent as interviewers and nepotistic in the appointment of staff. The solution is the appointment of non-teacher managers from the corporate world, with proven track records, to

Teach our boys well

I was moved by the interview with Jesse Hess’ grieving father (YOU, 9 January). The rape and murder of young women around the country clearly indicate that there are many wolves hiding in sheep’s clothing in our society. The big question in every parent’s mind is whose daughter will be the next victim. We’ve become a nation at war with itself. All men have a duty to protect women and set a good example to boy children. ABIGAIL LEDUBUKO, BOCHUM

S Gender-based violence makes me

wonder where in South Africa a woman can be safe. We already have a big problem of women being victims of sexual abuse in their homes, schools and workplaces. You’d expect the public places such as the post office, government offices, hospitals and schools to be safe environments for everyone, yet women are attacked there too. The brutal rape and bashing to death of Uyinene Mrwetyana in a Cape Town post office – and many other similar cases – make me shiver

with fear for all women. The problem starts within our homes and that’s where solutions must be found. Many boys grow well with good manners but witnessing their fathers and uncles treating women like slaves makes them think that women are sex objects to be used whenever a man feels like it. That’s a wrong mentality that parents need to wipe from their boys. Most of the boys who are raised in families dominated by domestic violence become bullies and use violence to get their way when they become adults. I hope that the Uyinene Mrwetyana Foundation can help her family find closure and reduce gender-based violence. Men must join hands and play their part in ending violence against women.

spire students about education. Now is the time for parents to unite with teachers and take joint responsibility. The idea of distancing ourselves from our kids’ education, thinking it’s the teachers’ job to educate, creates a negative attitude our kids pick up on. The pass rate will be determined not only by hard-working teachers, but also by how united teachers and parents are.

LEF FT: Who could’ve dictpred ed tthis ma dram on their wedding day?

FT: FT T: Th The e anno noun oun unce cece ent on the Su e S ssex Ro R oyal website that o Haarry and Meghan re quitting as se enior royals.

T HASN’T HASN T even been two years since that glorious golden day when the world watched a former bad-boy prince marry a sleek beauty in a chapel cloaked in splendour and steeped in tradition. The global hype was off the charts – even Prince William and Kate’s wedding, wonderful though it was, paled in comparison. This was the fairytale to end all fairytales. Harry, that once lost and directionless lad, had fallen for a woman of the world, a woman who clearly loved her prince but had a strong mind of her own.

In fact, they could be the best thing to happen to the royal family in a long time: they had the common touch, the glamour, the star power. But what they didn’t have, as has become all too obvious, was the will to sacrifice their dreams on the altar of duty. They couldn’t do it – they didn’t want to do it.

Meghan and Harry’s decision to step back from their duties has rocked the royals and shocked the world COMPILED BY NICOLA WHITFIELD & KIM ABRAHAMS

YOU their decision – royal life isn’t for everyone, and Meghan clearly isn’t cut out for it. But it’s the way they announced they were quitting the clan that has caused ripple effects across the globe. And Queen Elizabeth is having to deal with one of the biggest crises in recent royal history. “Not since the dark days over Diana has there been such a sense of dread and unhappiness shrouding the royal family,” one royal insider says. In her Christmas speech, the monarch lamented the bumpy ride her family had in 2019 – a reference to, among other things, Prince Andrew’s train wreck of a BBC interview about his friendship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. But if the beginning of the new year is anything to go by, that bumpy ride will be replaced by a pothole-riddled highway. “There’s fury over how they’ve done this, without any thought for the implications for the institution,” a senior royal source told The Sun newspaper. THE RETURN THAT MARKED THE END Harry and Meghan flew back to London from Canada, where they’d been holed up with Archie in a $14 million (R203m) mansion on Vancouver Island. Their first stop was Canada House where, smiling, warm and friendly, they thanked the staff for the kindness and hospitality they’d been shown during their stay in the country. seemed To observers it see emed as if it was backk

to business – but soon afterwards it became obvious it was anything but. Their decision to quit was laid out on their glossy new website, Sussex Royal – and it left the queen deeply upset and princes Charles and William incandescent with rage, insiders say. The top-ranking royal trio were handed a copy of the statement 10 minutes before it went live and, as expected, emotions ran high, a royal aide says. Royal sources say Harry requested a meeting with his grandmother at Sandringham soon after returning from Canada. Her Majesty gave him clear orders to discuss whatever plans he had with his father first, which he didn’t do. “No one could believe it,” the aide says. “There were so many unanswered questions but they just up and did it without a thought for anyone else. The plan was to discuss any future moves in a way that works for everyone in the family.” Why, everyone wanted to know, could Harry not just wait until he’d spoken to his father before making his decision public? Apparently the hot-headed prince heard The Sun newspaper was planning a big scoop about their plans and he was having none of it. But the fact they had so many details published on their site suggests they were planning to do it anyway, some observers point out.

Duchess of Cambridge’s 38th birthday – but the Sussex scandal overshadowed everything. The Sussexes have been accused in the past of stealing the Cambridges’ thunder but this really took the cake, an insider says. “No prizes for guessing what the main topic of conversation was at the party.” Amid the social media messages from senior royals wishing Kate a happy birthday, the Sussexes’ message was brief to say the least: “Wishing the Duchess of Cambridge a very happy birthday today!” Meghan didn’t stay long in the UK, fleeing within three days of their announce10 | 23 JANUARY 2020 you.co.za

ment to Canada, where Archie had been left with his nanny and Meghan’s close friend Jessica Mulroney. “It’s always been her way or the highway,” one of Meghan’s closest confidantes told the Daily Mail’s David Jones. “Meghan likes to flee when things get heavy, and observe from afar.” Another friend says the duchess has “been able to move fast because this has been planned for months. She’s running a campaign. This isn’t just an exit. It’s a long-game strategy that has been set in motion for some time.” MEGXIT: MONTHS IN THE MAKING The decision to split their time between

their UK home, Frogmore Cottage, and a base in North America “appears to be a more carefully plotted escape than anyone recognised”, The Guardian reports. A small group of friends and advisers helped plan their escape from the confines of full-time royal duty – with Meghan leading the way. The group included the aggressive Hollywood management company Sunshine Sachs, where Meghan’s friend, Keleigh Thomas Morgan – who represented her when she acted in the legal drama Suits – worked with power attorneys and talent agents. The couple registered their website, Sussex Royal, back in March and hired the services of a hip creative firm in Toronto – the same outfit responsible for her now defunct blog The Tig – to build it for them. Sources say the pair first raised the issue of a retreat from royal life in May but nothing was put in practice. “But holed up in splendid isolation in Canada, far from the loyal team of Buckingham Palace advisers (who had a conference call with them every week and were humiliatingly kept out of the loop), they made their decision to go it alone,” the Daily Mail’s Rebecca English says. OUT IN THE COLD Tom Bradby, the ITV reporter who interviewed Harry and Meghan for their controversial documentary during and after their Southern African tour, says the couple’s decision to quit comes after some really bad personality splits within the royal family. According to Bradby, who’s a friend of the couple, there had been “discussions on the issue for several weeks leading up to the announcement”.

A TRAGEDY IN THE MAKING Many believe Meghan is the driving force behind all this. “She’s a driven American woman who comes from a can-do culture,” royal commentator Alexandra Shulman says.

The Harry the nation came to love, a charming, cheerful, self-deprecating Jack the Lad, has been missing for many months. I’m worried about the new approach he’s taking to life. He leaves his family.” BLUEPRINT FOR THE FUTURE At the time of going to print, the outcome of the so-called Sandringham summit attended by the queen, Charles, William and Harry – and Meghan via conference call – had yet to be revealed. But at the end of the day the queen released a statement saying she was “entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan’s desire to create a new life as a young family”. She added there would be a transition period in which the Sussexes will spend time in Canada and the UK. Vital issues such as whether the Sussexes keep their titles and Frogmore Cottage and what the tax implications would be were still to be thrashed out. It’s understood that the final arrangement, which is still in the works, could be used for generations to come – and apply to other royals further down the throne pecking order, such as Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

NET WORTH It remains to be seen what Harry and Meghan mean by becoming financially independent “while continuing to fully support Her Majesty the queen”. One thing is for sure though: they won’t battle, at least not for a while. Harry inherited £20 million (R380m) from Princess Diana’s estate and £7m (R133m) from his great-grandmother the Queen Mother. Meghan is worth an estimated $5m (R72,5m). She earned $50 000 (R725 000) an episode while starring as paralegal Rachel in Suits, and also appeared in several films, including romantic comedies and the 2010 film Remember Me. She also earned nearly $80 000 (R1,16m) a year running her lifestyle blog The Tig. NO MORE PUBLIC MONEY The Sussexes will give up the income they got from the Sovereign Grant, the money taxpayers give to the queen every year. According to the couple’s new website, this made up only 5% of their in-

come. The remaining 95% of their funding comes from Prince Charles’ Duchy of Cornwall estate, and it’s not clear yet whether they’ll continue to receive this. Charles paid £4,9m (R93,1m) to his sons from his duchy income last year, of which slightly less than half went to Harry, the Daily Mail reports. THE ROAD AHEAD Harry and Meghan are hot global property right now and are likely to be offered lucrative contracts and be in demand for TV interviews.

And should they write a book, the advance could be in the region of the $65m (R942,5m) paid to Michelle and Barack Obama when they released their memoirs after leaving the White House.

Borkowski told The Guardian. “The foundation they’re setting up has real purpose and they want to embrace better-world projects so any charity donations or investment have to be clean money,” he says. “The type of people who want to launder their image through the royals are exactly the kind of people they need to keep away from. They don’t have a lot of choice so they’ll have to do a lot of commercial deals that might cheapen what they’re trying to do.” They’ll be a force to be reckoned with, he says. “But it’s a long journey and there’s always another circus coming to town. They’re going to have to sell more than a few mugs and plates to make this thing real.” HARRY MIGHT BATTLE The prince may work hard in his charity endeavours – and he deserves full marks for making a success of many of them, including the Invictus Games – but he has yet to have a taste of life in the real world. And for a while at least, Meghan, not too long ago a hard-working actress used to earning her own money, is likely to adapt to their new normal quicker than her husband. “The best he can do is support his wife and learn from her,” celebrity life coach Patrick Wanis says. “He’s got to have great ideas. He needs to think, ‘Where can my passion make a difference.’ “But if I can give them a warning: stay away from the trappings, the glitter, the artificiality of celebrity style. The lure of the glamorous celebrity lifestyle is actually quite dangerous.” Harry needs to focus on himself, Wanis adds. “ ‘Who am I? What excites me? And how do I make a difference?’ “He has a fantastic chance to create a legacy like no royal has.” S

RAMPAGE OF HORROR

Reynhard Sinaga went on a two-year spree through Manchester, drugging his victims before raping them COMPILED BY JANE VORSTER

N HIS Facebook pag Reynhard Sinaga re veals himself to be dedicated Spice Girl fan and devou churchgoer who ha two degrees to hi name and plenty friends – so in short, he hardly fits the profile of a multiple sex offender. But behind those dark-framed glasses and friendly smile lurks the mind of a monster. As a British court recently handed him 88 life sentences for 136 acts of rape, Reynhard Sinaga (36) was unmasked as the world’s worst serial rapist. For at least two years the pervert went on a horrific rape spree, preying on men in Manchester, England. Although he’s gay, most of his victims were straight men who were also a lot brawnier than him – but after drinking the concoctions he served them, which were laced with date-rape drugs, they were powerless to resist the scrawny sex fiend. For hours as they lay passed out he filmed himself raping and sexually assaulting them repeatedly and when they awoke they had no recollection of what had been done to them. 16 | 23 JANUARY 2020 you.co.za

that would prove to be Sinaga’s undoing. After one of his victims woke up and caught him in the act he blew the whistle, and when police raided his flat they discovered more than three terabytes of extremely graphic material – equivalent to 250 DVDs. It charted in lurid detail Sinaga’s rampage of depravity which is thought to have begun in 2015 and which saw him committing 159 sexual offences which he filmed on two cellphones. One of the rapes went on for eight hours while the victim lay unconscious. With the help of this video police were able to get in touch with many of his victims, although 70 of the men have yet to be identified. Police believe he may have assaulted at least 195 men. Bizarrely although the men in the videos were clearly unconscious – and in some cases even snoring – Sinaga

imed all the sex had been consenal. It thus fell to a jury to watch urs of video – and what they saw many of them so traumatised they ded professional counselling. s the cases were tried in batches it to four drawn-out trials conducted r 18 months and throughout most of it Sinaga sat smirking, playing with his hair and yawning. Initially to protect the identities of the victims a ban was placed on reporting of court proceedings but Judge Suzanne Goddard recently gave the green light for Sinaga to be identified as the serial rapist. In passing sentence she noted that he’d failed to show “one jot of remorse”. “Rarely if ever have the courts seen such a campaign of rape covering so many victims over such a prolonged period,” she remarked. “You are an evil serial sexual offender.”

vulnerable; men who’d been kicked out of clubs by bouncers or who’d become separated from their friends or partners. Having spent most of the night drinking they were often too drunk to find their way home. Some had no money for taxis or their phone batteries had died – so when the harmless-looking Sinaga showed up in their hour of need and invited them to have a few more drinks at his flat and then crash on a mattress on the floor they readily accepted. It’s believed that once Sinaga got them into his flat he’d lace their drinks with date-rape drug GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyric acid) to ensure they passed out. Although many of the men awoke feeling “sick and disorientated” they had no idea they’d been raped. Most parted company with Sinaga on friendly terms. “As far as I was concerned, I thought he’d done me a good turn,” one victim told the court. “I agreed to be his friend on Facebook and I think I messaged him when I got home.” The jury were told Sinaga kept some of his victims’ belongings as trophies and would later brag to his friends about his conquests, presenting himself as a charming Casanova.

Back in Indonesia his real parents, Saibun, a wealthy banker, and mother Normawaty, were unaware of his sexual orientation and just wanted him to return home and settle down with a wife. But now, having heard of the way he relentlessly preyed on scores of men, they seem to have washed their hands of him. Speaking to the BBC, his father said the family has accepted the verdict. “His punishment fits his crimes.” By the end of the four trials he’d been handed 88 life sentences which he’ll serve concurrently with a minimum of 30 years spent behind bars. In delivering sentence Judge Goddard said she’d considered giving him a full life term without the eligibility of parole, which would’ve made it the first case in Britain in which such a sentence was imposed for a crime other than murder. She said the only thing that had stopped her from imposing the maximum sentence was that Sinaga hadn’t tortured his victims. “You’re a highly dangerous, cunning and deceitful individual who’ll never be safe to be released but that is a matter for the parole board” she added. As she delivered this damning verdict Sinaga sat smiling, looking like he didn’t have a care in the world. A detective who’d spent hours questioning him wasn’t surprised by his flippant demeanour. “Anyone else faced with such damning evidence would’ve admitted to what they’ve done,” says Detective Inspector Zed Ali. “I believe he’s a psychopath to the point that he’s convinced himself that what he’s doing isn’t wrong.” S

In WhatsApp messages his pals marvelled at his ability to attract straight men. “There’s always a new one,” a friend joked. “F**king hell, darling, you get a different straight every week.” In response Sinaga cracked a joke which offered a veiled clue as to how he did it. “Black magic potion,” he wrote. “Take a sip of my secret poison.

HE’S been dubb ed th e “naughty n i e c e” a n d “queen of party dressing” because of her lovee of living it up on o the London party scene. And Lady Kitty Spencer laps it all up, documenting her nights on the town loud and proud on her Instagram account. Yet while the eldest child of P Princess i Diana’s brother doesn’t mind who follows her life of glitz and glamour, there’s one thing she isn’t prepared to flaunt on social media: her love-life. Which is a pity, because her romance with Michael Lewis, a fabulously rich South African-born businessman, is nothing short of intriguing. The couple have been spotted together only twice and have shied away from talking publicly about their relationship. But big things are definitely afoot – and there could well be another royal-related wedding in the offing soon. Michael reportedly popped the question while he and the blonde beauty were on holiday in the Mother City, where Kitty (29) grew up. “He proposed before Christmas and she told her mother and the rest of the family,” a source says. Everyone was delighted, the insider adds – despite the eyebrow-raising age gap. At 60, Michael is more than twice Kitty’s age and a full five years older than her dad, Princess Diana’s brother Charles, Earl Spencer. “Michael is loved by all of them,” the source says. “Despite his wealth he’s very humble and low key.” The couple were first spotted in public in May last year when they were snapped leaving the exclusive The Mark in Manhattan, New York – the same hotel where Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, had her baby shower. Michael left the hotel first, waiting outside for an Uber. It was only when the car pulled up that Kitty stepped out and the pair hopped swiftly inside. “Both kept their heads down and walked quickly to the car,” an onlooker says.

Michael Lewis popped the big question to Lady Kitty Spencer and while on holiday in Cape Town. They’ve been romantically linked since 2018 but have never publicly conﬁrmed their relationship.

The couple split in 2017 after three years together when it emerged Niccolo had become interested in actress Elizabeth Hurley. He dated Liz briefly in 2018, which friends close to Kitty says left her feeling hurt. Still, she’s likely to have put the drama behind her and forgiven her former lover as she’s previously said she tries to remain friends with her exes. “I’m very sentimental,” she told Tatler magazine. “I

ITTY made her runway debut for Dolce & Gabbana in 2017 but it was attending her cousin Prince Harry’s wedding to Meghan in 2018 that really made people sit up and take note. She stunned in her emerald green hand-painted Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda dress and Philip Treacy fascinator – so much so that she was made an ambassador for luxury Italian brand Bulgari within a week. “It was definitely unexpected,” she says of her sudden fame. “My Instagram followers went from 17 000 to half a million in one night.” Since then Kitty has been trotting the globe for one modelling gig after the other and says she’s barely spent time at her flat in London. And when she’s on British soil, it’s likely she’s spending most of her time with her fiancé at his £19 million (R361m) West London mansion.

With an estimated net worth of R1,4 billion, it wouldn’t be surprising if Michael makes Kitty sign a prenuptial agreement, as he did with Leola.

PLANT POWER FOR MEAT-EATERS Next time you’re tempted to reach for a chop consider going foor veg instead. It’s better for you – and for the planet

F YOU’RE a meat-lover, there’s nothing quite like tucking into a juicy steak or breathing in the heady aroma of boerewors sizzling on the braai. But even the most diehard meat-eater is finding it harder and harder to ignore the facts: the production of meat is affecting our poor, beleaguered planet. Research shows livestock is responsible for about 14,5% of greenhouse gas emissions, and

70% of global deforestation takes place in order to grow animal feed. Little wonder that Veganuary – a movement that encourages eating plantbased foods in the first month of the year – is growing in popularity. In the UK alone, 250 000 people signed up for the largely meat-free month last year. The EAT-Lancet Commission on Food, Planet and Health has determined that “significant dietary shifts must take place by 2050”. “Global consumption of fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes will have to double and consumption of foods such as red meat and sugar will have to be reduced by 50%,” the panel of experts say. The world is taking note: by the end of last year, plant-based diets were one of the top global food trends. “Last year saw a substantial increase in plant-based diets,” says Cindy Chin, a dietician at Woolworths. “That means vegetables and plant products are no longer just side dishes but the main meal.” “If everyo one followed a plant-based diet, there w would be more than enough food to feed everyone on the planet,” says Don novan Will, director of food awaren ness organisation ProVeg South h Africa. Many of us don’t want to go M thee whole hog and ditch meat en ntirely – but if you’re keen to taake things a bit further than Meatless Mondays or VeganM uary, you’ll be doing the planet a favour. p So how do you do this while ensuring you still eat w

a properly balanced diet? HOW TO GET STARTED

Cooking your own meals from scratch using fresh ingredients is the most basic solution, says Colleen Mollentze of the Vegan Society of South Africa. “Plantbased foods need not be expensive or exotic like quinoa or goji berries,” she adds. “All the vegetables we grew up with such as spinach, pumpkin and squash are nutritious and healthy. Beans and lentils are good protein sources and grains such as sorghum, maize and rice provide essential carbohydrates. “Combining grains and pulses such as samp and beans is an excellent way to ensure the intake of a combination of amino acids – the building blocks of protein.” She says meat substitutes such as Fry’s products (available in the frozen section at most supermarkets) and Linda McCartney’s vegetarian patties and sausages (available at Checkers) are great for convenience meals or to braai. Karen Fletcher, co-founder of Cape Town-based pop-up restaurant Green & Vegan, says wholegrains, nuts and seeds are a great way to kickstart the journey. “Think smoothies and wholegrain cereals with fruit and nuts, or a lentil pasta with basil pesto or a thick veggie stew,” she suggests. Many supermarkets in major centres stock milk substitutes such as almond and soya milk as well as dairy-free cheeses made from nuts and soya proteins – so it’s possible to avoid animal protein entirely on some days.

YOU MEAT CLONES

One of the most common misconceptions about plant-based diets is that they are elitist and expensive, Fletcher says. But they don’t have to be: legumes such as beans, peas, chickpeas and lentils are inexpensive meat substitutes, as are grains such as rice and vegetables such as potatoes, onions and butternut. “A baked potato filled with a delicious chickpea mayo is no more expensive than regular tuna-mayo potato. It’s about making clever choices,” Fletcher says.

HOW TO PACK IN THE NUTRIENTS

The protein in animal products is complete protein but most plant-based protein isn’t complete because it doesn’t contain all the necessary amino acids. A “full house” of amino acids is essential for tissue repair and nutrient absorption, and a deficiency can result in several health issues, including decreased immunity, digestive problems, fertility issues and slow growth in children. Zelda Pienaar, a Pretoria-based clinical dietitian, explains that by ensuring you combine different protein sources, each containing different amino acids, in your meals, it’s possible to get the right intake. For example, many legumes don’t contain enough of the amino acid methionine, while many breakfast cereals don’t contain lysine. But if you eat a combination of these two foods, your body will get enough of both to form a complete protein. In other words, breakfast cereals and legumes complement one another.

They look and taste like meat – but they aren’t. Whereas meatless sausages and burgers have been around for a while, new technology is helping to develop flavours that are so sophisticated many carnivores would have a hard time telling them apart from the real thing. S Beyond Meat The American producer manufactures a variety of plant-based meat substitutes including mince, sausage, beef crumbles and its famous Beyond Burger patty, which it bills as the “world’s first plant-based burger that looks, cooks, and satisfies like beef without genetically modified organisms, soy or gluten”. These burgers are available at Woolworths and will set you back R129,99 for two patties.

wholegrains w S Legumes, soy products and beans S Protein from two or more plant so ources such as lentils, beans, nuts, so oy and tofu S Fruit S Vegetables S Soy bean oil, canola oil, flaxseed and w walnuts DO I NEED TO TAKE A SUPPLEMENT?

Flletcher advises that if you eat a mainly pllant-based diet you consider taking a viitamin supplement to boost your B3 an nd B12 as well as iron intake. Many experts also recommend taking an omega3 supplement as these fatty acids are trricky to get in a sufficient dose from pllant-based foods. Mollentze adds that moringa is emergin ng as a superfood. Leaves and pods are harvested from the moringa tree and grround up to make oils, powders and tea packed with nutrients such as iron, proteein, vitamin B6, vitamin C and riboflavin.

and require omega fatty acids, calcium, vitamin D, vitamin C and iron in addition to vitamin B12. You can incorporate more plantbased foods in your kids’ diet but you have to keep tabs on their nutrition and be creative to provide alternatives. For example, hummus, which is made from tahini and chickpeas, is a good source of protein and can be a delicious lunchbox snack if served with carrot sticks or crackers. A good supplement for children, containing all the essential vitamins and omega fatty acids, is recommended by experts if you’re going to cut down on your family’s meat intake.

Ch devastated when she lost her ability to smile – but now, thanks to surgery, she’s regaining nerve function BY JACQUES MYBURGH PICTURES: ONKGOPOTSE KOLOTI

HE’D always been triggerhappy when it came to taking photographs. No one was safe from her lens – not her boyfriend, her parents, her friends or her pets. She loved posing for pictures too, flashing her beautiful smile for the camera. But for more than two years, photos of Chanel Dewet had been few and far between. Those that were taken of her show a young woman with the same chocolate-brown eyes and gleaming hair but her sparkle had gone. And so had her perfect smile. The 22-year-old from Kempton Park in Johannesburg lost her self-confidence along with her Colgate grin when an operation to remove a benign tumour be-

IN SEARCH OF A SMILE hind her ear resulted in lasting nerve damage. “I didn’t want to be in pictures anymore,” says Chanel, a creditor’s clerk and part-time makeup artist. All she wanted was for things to go back to how they were – and now, after a gruelling ordeal, she’s finally regaining some of her self-esteem. Chanel received the best Christmas present ever this past festive season: following an intricate operation, a measure of her beautiful smile has been restored. “It’s nice to be able to look people in the eye again and not be ashamed,” she says. There’s still a way to go before her full smile is back but she’s hopeful for the future – and she can face the camera headon again.

HANEL was first diagnosed with schwannoma, a tumour of the tissue that covers nerves, in 2012. A growth was removed from her leg and all was well. But five years later she developed another growth, this time behind her ear. Doctors warned her this one was in a more dangerous place – it was attached to her salivary glands – and removing it would be a delicate procedure. When Chanel was wheeled back into the ward after the surgery at an Alberton hospital, her boyfriend, Lovyne Rentzke (now 24), could see immediately that something was wrong. “The right side of her face was sagging,” he recalls. “She couldn’t smile and her right eye had been affected too.”

Doctors told her to be patie that the paralysis could lift. “It was tough trying to help h stay positive,” her dad, Jaco, say “We thought her face would reco er by itself over time but it didn’t In the months following the pr cedure, Chanel became increa ingly isolated. “I didn’t want to go out wit friends anymore. When we we to a restaurant, I’d rest the righ side of my face on my hand so th it wouldn’t look as if my face was “Out shopping it constantly felt as if people were staring at me. It was horrible.” Chanel didn’t want to have her picture taken anymore, Lovyne adds. “We used to call her the shutterbug – she was always taking pics of everyone. But that stopped. If she did appear in a picture, she tried to turn her face so the camera only captured the left side of her face. “I kept telling her she was beautiful,” says Lovyne, who works as a technician in the Dewet family’s boiler-making business. “Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t.” Jaco and Chanel’s mom, Chantal, realised they needed to get expert help for their child. They consulted a neurosurgeon, who tested the nerves in Chanel’s face but found no response. “He told us the nerves on the right side had been destroyed,” Chantal says. The surgeons who had removed the tumour had torn through the nerves in the process. “I wasn’t angry about their mistake,” Chanel says. “But I was angry about the expectation they’d created. Doctors kept telling me my face would recover. They ”

Her parents started looking into how they could help and Chantal came across facial reanimation surgery, a procedure often performed on people who’ve suffered facial paralysis as a result of a brain tumour or stroke. A plastic surgeon transplants tissue from a patient’s leg or jaw muscle. “It’s also called smile surgery,” Jaco says. “At first, it seemed as if the procedure was only done overseas but we found a plastic surgeon in Cape Town who was willing to perform it. We were determined to restore our child’s self-confidence and give her her smile back.”

HANEL’S big day arrived in September 2018. Professor Frank Graewe, who has a practice at Louis Leipoldt MediClinic in Cape Town, agreed to do the surgery but warned it may not work. “Doctors were sceptical,” Jaco says. “It was the first time the procedure would be performed in South Africa but Chanel felt she had nothing to lose.” A sensory nerve was harvested from hanel’s leg before being microscopicalT: Lovyne been a pillar trength for nel.

THE GENERAL & THE BEAUTY QUEEN The glamorous wife of a top Zimbabwean politician is accused of plotting to kill him COMPILED BY DENNIS CAVERNELIS

HE’s a former pageant queen and music video star, an elegant beauty with a love of the finer things in life. He’s a top general and leading politician who led the coup that ended Robert Mugabe’s reign. And together they’re responsible for one of the most sensational cases to come out of Zimbabwe in a long time. Allegations of attempted murder, money laundering and falsifying her marriage certificate have been levelled at her. Meanwhile, her much older husband has been accused of forcing her hand in divorce proceedings and using her as an example to dissident Zimbabweans: take on powerful figures at your peril. The details emerging are nothing short of gobsmacking. Marry Mubaiwa (38) has been accused of plotting to kill her husband, General Constantino Chiwenga (63), once a top Mugabe lieutenant and now vice-president of the poverty-stricken Southern African state. Chiwenga allegedly retaliated by having his estranged wife arrested. She was taking a bath at the time of her arrest 24 | 23 JANUARY 2020 you.co.za

ARRY’S current husband d isn’t the only source of heer legal woes. She was previiously married to Zim babwean national socceer player Shingi Kawonderaa, who’s suing her for R9,97 million n, claiming she forged their divorce paapers. The couple, who have one child, d were divorced in 2011. According to court papers filed in July, her ex says he was never served with a summons as required by law as he was playing soccer in Cyprus. Kawondera’s lawyers also claim Marry forged his signature, making it appear that he consented to the divorce. He was never given a chance to defend the proceedings, the lawyers add, and as a result, he didn’t receive “any of the immovable and movable properties that the parties had acquired during the . . . marriage”. The footballer, who now lives on the outskirts of Harare, says he’s stone broke. Marry’s first husband was businessman Terry Mandizha, with whom she also has a child. Her children are currently in the care of her mother and her estranged husband, the vice-president. She’s the daughter of Kenny Mubaiwa, former chairman of Zimbabwe’s professional soccer team Dynamos FC, and married Chiwenga in 2011 under Zimbabwe’s customary law. This has a lesser status than the coun-

try t ’s monogamous civil i il marriage, i which hi h offers greater legal advantages to women. The charges against Marry include allegations that she tried to fraudulently obtain an upgraded marriage certificate while her husband was sick. In her 13-page bail application, she denies the charges, and says they were fabricated by Chiwenga in an attempt to force her hand in their pending divorce proceedings. In denying charges that she tried to murder her husband, she told the court Chiwenga had asked Mnangagwa to make arrangements to have her sent to China, where her husband was receiving follow-up treatment after an assassination attempt on them and Mnangagwa at a stadium in Bulawayo in June 2018. She says the president agreed and gave her money and bodyguards for the trip. All this occurred after July 2019, Marry’s lawyer says, and it’s “inconceivable that this would’ve happened had she tried to murder her husband”. Chiwenga hasn’t spoken publicly about his wife’s arrest. She was due back in court on 14 January for a routine pretrial appearance. S you.co.za 23 JANUARY 2020

HE charges against Marry have set the cat among the pigeons. Zimbabwe is “not a normal government but more like a small mafia that’s running a country”, says Todd Moss, a political analyst and former US state department official. Emmerson Mnangagwa, who assumed power in 2017, has declared fighting corruption as his government’s top priority, but critics and opposition parties say his newly formed Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) has mainly targeted people viewed as dissenters. Since Mugabe was ousted, the country has continued to be plagued by corruption and hyperinflation and is teetering on the brink of famine. “[Marry’s arrest] obviously fits a pattern to instil fear among warring internal factions,” Moss says. Zimbabwe’s government is still largely made up of the same small cabal of military and political elites who’ve been in power since 1980 and have shared business interests. After Marry’s arrest, opposition politicians accused her husband of using his position to influence a divorce settlement. Critics of the ZACC say there’s a clear conflict of interest, because its lead judge, Loice Matanda-Moyo, is married to foreign minister Sibusiso Moyo, an ally of Mnangagwa and Chiwenga. The ZACC denied this and said it would investigate all corruption cases “without fear or favour”.

A single sculpture can be as tiny as 0,005mm. “Once I’ve made a sculpture I use an eyelash to paint it, which is one of the hardest parts because it takes only one mistake to have to start again,” he says. “Another challenge is controlling my breathing. I have to be very surgical in what I do and everything is done with pinpoint precision under a microscope.” Willard uses nylon, gold, cotton, mi croscopically carved wood shavings and even spider webs to create his sculptures. “Mistakes can be made though,” he says. “I was once doing a piece with Little Miss Muffet and Humpty Dumpty and put Miss Muffet’s head on Humpty Dumpty’s body – although these mis takes don’t happen often.”

He also often works through the night because there’s mini mal disruption. “My work has been described as the eighth wonder of the world,” he says. “I create the world’s tiniest masterpieces.” Willard adds that his art is a reflection of himself. “When you see my work, you discover that nothing does exist.

SCENT of a man

BEST APPLICATION To make fragrance last longer, make sure you apply it correctly. S Don’t spray it on your clothes – it can leave stains and won’t last as long as when you spray it directly on your skin. S Apply in your neck area and a little on your chest. S Or spray or dab your fragrance on your pulse points, which are behind your ears, inside your elbows and on your wrists.

Find your fragrance from our pick of citrus, green, musky and spicy options for guys BY ALEXIS TSHANGANA

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

Do you know your EDP from your EDT? Here’s the lowdown on various types of fragrances.

Eau de parfum (EDP)

Eau de toilette (EDT)

Cologne

Oil-based fragrance, 20-40% oil.

Lighter fragrance than EDP, water-based with about 10% oil.

Lighter fragrance than EDT, water-based with about 2-4% oil.

Fragrance lasts longer than EDT’s.

Fragrance lasts for four to six hours

Fragrance lasts for three to four hours.

Less expensive than EDP.

Most aﬀordable, popular with men.

Usually more expensive.

Citrus

Scent lasts longer on moisturised skin, so apply lotion before your fragrance.

The bathroom isn’t the best place to store your fragrance. Fluctuating temperatures caused by heat and steam can degrade the chemical compounds. And keep the bottles out of the sun, as it does the same.

Characterised by fruity scents such as orange, lemon and tangerine, these are perfect for guys who don’t like heavy fragrances. 1 Diesel Spirit of the Brave EDT R1 070 for 100ml 2 Clinique Happy for Men cologne R990 for 100ml 3 Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Sun EDT R1 615 for 100ml 4 Hugo Boss Orange EDT R1 075 for 100ml

Never apply fragrance on an open wound or inﬂamed skin. The alcohol in the formulation causes irritation.

Green

These earthy fragrances are fresh, leafy and crisp with ingredients such as sandalwood, rosewood and patchouli. They’re perfect for active men as they mask odour well and have a “pick-me-up” scent. 1 Lacoste Essential Pour Homme EDT R1 135 for 125ml 2 Viktor & Rolf Spice Bomb Night Vision EDT R1 650 for 90ml 3 Hugo Boss Hugo Green EDT R1 035 for 75ml

Musky

Strong S yet calming, these fragrances are a made with synthetic musk, mimicking i the natural scent of musk deer. d They have a subtle and clean scent s with a deep woody base and a touch of ginger and jasmine.

1 Emporio Armani Stronger with You EDP R1 150 for 50ml 2 Dunhill Icon EDP R1 645 for 100ml 3 Carolina Herrera Bad Boy EDT R1 675 for 100ml

YOU LIFESTYLE | ADVICE

RATITUDE. It’s probably a word that’s popped up a lot over the past few weeks. Even if you’re not the type to make resolutions, the start of a new year – and a new decade – does spark a bit of reflection, often about the things we’re grateful for. Perhaps you’ve resolved to practise gratitude daily. It’s a good goal to have – research has shown the benefits of a daily gratitude practice include feeling more positive and energetic, better sleep and a stronger immune system. But while it’s easy to feel thankful for the good things in your life – the people who love you, a spontaneous hug from your child, a delicious meal – it’s not so easy to feel gratitude when life is challenging. So here are three tips to help you feel gratitude in those moments when it’s easier said than done.

GALLO IMAGES/GETTY IMAGES

CHANGE ‘HAVE’ TO ‘GET’ On those mornings when you’re struggling to get out of bed and what goes through your mind is, “I have to go to work” or “I have to pack the kids’ lunchboxes” or “I have to go to gym”, start changing that one little word and see what happens. You get to go to work. You get to pack the kids’ lunchboxes. You get to go to the gym. Changing this one word will give you a new perspective on things you usually see as chores or duties. Yes, our lives are full of things we have to do. But hopefully you’ll start seeing them as things you’re lucky to be able to do. THINK OF CHALLENGES AS WHAT YOU ASKED FOR This one is a bit more difficult to do and will take some practise. Think of something that’s happened in your life that really threw you for a loop. Maybe your partner had an affair. Maybe you were passed over for a promotion at work. Maybe you were retrenched. Maybe you lost money in a bad investment. What’s the point of finding gratitude in any of these situations, you might ask. The point is it can help you deal with troubles that feel overwhelming. So, for example, if you were retrenched and you think about it as something you asked for, it could get you thinking about what changes you want to make in your work life. 44 | 23 JANUARY 2020 you.co.za

MAY BOSSES ARE HAVING AN AFFAIR I find myself in a bit of a conundrum. I’ve noticed a change in the behaviour of two of my bosses over the past months. I’ve worked for the one (a man) for a long time and for about two years for the woman. In November I saw them together in a coffee shop being all lovey-dovey. Fortunately they didn’t see me. The problem is they’re married to other people. I’ve been feeling extremely uncomfortable in their presence since then but have tried to just be my usual self. On our last day of work in December they stayed behind. On my way home I realised I’d left a parcel at the office and turned back. When I got there I had such a shock – I saw them kissing. I left quickly so they wouldn’t see me. A friend who works in the same office block says she’s noticed them leaving together quite often when she goes home at 6pm. I don’t know what to do. Should I say something? Anonymous, email

Although your bosses are obviously play ing with fire, it would be best for you to do nothing about it. The fact that they’re both married and are apparently having an affair may make you uncomfortable but it’s essentially their personal business and interfering – and possibly stirring up a hornet’s nest – may cost you your job. I’m fairly certain they won’t construe you shar ing your opinion on the matter or informing them that you know about it as an act of kindness, but rather see it as interfering or possibly even as an act of betrayal. Some things are best left alone and this is one of them. Should their own bosses, if they have any, be come aware of what’s going on, they’ll have to deal with the consequences without involving you. If you’re asked about it by anyone else at work, you can simply say you’re focused on doing your job and don’t have time to think about others’ personal relationships. 46 | 23 JANUARY 2020 you.co.za

HOW DO I MAKE THIS CHOICE? Ever since I was young my parents have had this dream that I would one day go to medical school and become a doctor. So during my senior years in high school they helped me to do well and then helped me to apply to study medicine – and I’ve been fortunate enough to be accepted. So I’m all set to go to medical school. The problem is that I have secretly always wanted to become a pilot – much more so than I want to be a doctor. I’m reluctant to give up my place to study medicine at university because so few students get the opportunity to do so, and I’m also interested in medicine as a career. What should I do? Richard, email

For many people there are four or five careers in which they could excel, and this can be seen as both fortunate and unfortunate.

On the upside, you have choices. On the downside, it can make choosing a career quite difficult. Perhaps you should start thinking differently about what your career could be. Sometimes it’s possible to combine two fields or types of work in a way that would bring even greater job satisfaction. For example, you could choose to go to medical school now, and once you’ve qualified as a doctor you can start learning to fly and obtain a pilot’s licence. You could then join a group or organisation that does medical evacua tions. Having a medical degree and a pilot’s licence would mean you’d fit in perfectly with this type of work. Alternatively, you could practise as a doctor in remote areas of the country which would entail you having to fly yourself to work occasionally. Getting the qualification would entail a lot of dedication, but being able to fly a plane would give you versatility most other doctors don’t have.

‘Love is not maximum emotion. Love is maximum commitment’ – SCOTTISH THEOLOGIAN SINCLAIR FERGUSON

I’M SICK AND TIRED OF MY MARRIAGE My husband and I have been married for 10 years and for most of the time it’s been hell. My parents think he’s wonderful and don’t know he’s in fact very different when we’re along. In front of my parents he’s caring and considerate while at home he’s abusive and illmannered. I’ve told my parents several times about his awful behaviour but they don’t believe me. The result is that I stay in this terrible marriage. What should I do?

Kate, email

You shouldn’t stay in an un happy marriage just because it suits your parents to believe

your husband is an angel. You know the truth and you know you’re miserable with him and that he’s not willing to change. What you need to do is leave him and file for divorce so that you can end this farce of a marriage. If your parents have something to say about this or are criti cal of your decision in any way, tell them you know what’s good for you and you’ll from now on be acting in your own best interest. Tell them they should trust that you’re an adult who knows what she’s doing. The bottom line is it’s not your par ents who have to live with your husband – you’re the one who’s on the receiving end of the abuse and you need to make it clear that you will no longer do so.

PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT

BY LETITIA WATSON Send suggestions for topics and requests for info to yourmoney@you.co.za. We may answer your questions in this column but won’t reply personally.

T CAN be diﬃcult to keep track of household expenses which is why some couples opt for linked credit cards. This means only one person has to apply for a credit card and their spouse gets a linked card so they can shop on the main cardholder’s credit account without having to apply for a credit card themselves. You can also link your teen children. Sure, it’s convenient, but before you start linking left, right and centre, remember that if the account is in your name you’re the one responsible for everyone’s expenses. Here’s everything you need to know about linked cards.

THE REQUIREMENTS All banks and credit providers have one golden rule: that the main cardholder has a good credit record. Usually, the holders of the linked cards must be direct family and live at the same address as the main cardholder. The main cardholder applies for the linked card – either in a

branch or online – and must provide a copy of the linked cardholder’s ID. Because the linked cardholder isn’t considered the main credit applicant, approval of their credit proﬁle isn’t usually required. The main cardholder might have to pay an additional monthly fee if someone else is linked to their account.

DISADVANTAGES ● If you link someone who tends to overspend, you’re legally responsible for the debt and your credit record will be negatively aﬀected if you can’t repay it. ● Some banks charge a month-

ly fee for linked cards. Find out what it is to avoid any nasty surprises. ● If the main cardholder dies, the account is frozen and the linked card can’t be used.

GET HELP HERE

S All banks’ websites have information about keeping cards and PINs safe. S For more about debt management, go to the National Credit Regulator’s website: ncr.org.za.

S The Banking Association of South Africa: banking.org.za.

BENEFITS ● One major benefit to the main cardholder might be the loyalty points they earn. All the loyalty points or benefits the linked card earns are awarded to the main cardholder. These points or benefits can be used to cover other expenses, such as electricity or airtime. ● Many couples find it an easier way to keep track of household expenses. They decide together what the money is to be used for and can keep a record of their expenses from their monthly statements. ● Some parents give their kids linked cards to cover specific expenses. The monthly bank statement gives a breakdown

of the expenditure of each cardholder so you can see exactly how money was spent. This lets parents see what the children spent the money on. ● Depending on speciﬁc account requirements, linked cardholders can usually do transactions while travelling overseas – just be sure of the fees for your type of card before you do this. ● Provided there’s no outstanding debt on the account, you can cancel the linked card at any time. ● If the main cardholder overspends, the linked cardholder won’t be held responsible for the debt.

GOOD CREDIT MANAGEMENT Although credit cards are convenient, the interest levied on a negative balance is high. These tips can help you better manage your credit card account. ● Before linking a card, agree on how much and on what the linked cardholder may spend money. ● Make sure you as the main cardholder get notiﬁcations of all transactions – all banks have a messaging service to alert you when the card is being used. ● Budget for the expenses so

you can settle the account in full every month. ● Find out if the credit limit on the linked card can be diﬀerent to the limit on the main card. If all the cards have the same credit limit, opt for a lower limit to regulate spending. ● Explain which expenditures attract immediate interest. Although credit cards have a 55-day interest-free period, immediate interest is charged on some transactions such as cash withdrawals. you.co.za 23 JANUARY 2020

19 FEB – 20 MARCH

It’s a week in which you could easily let your imagination run away with you – for better and for worse. Misguided illusions could land you in the hot water and flights of fancy might lead to embarrassing situations. But if wisely channelled, it could yield prolific results. That’s why you should use your imaginings productively. Point your mind’s eye towards creative projects and pour your ideas into poetry, music or art. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 33, 14, 3, 44, 22, 49

Surprise! It’s all about change this week

With the Sun in your sign, now’s a great time to express your identity in word and deed. It’s a week in which to celebrate your uniqueness, march to the beat of your own drum and live up to your own ideals. The week might have a surprise or two in store for you, whether positive or negative. An unexpected turn of events could be part and parcel of the deal, which makes for a week to allow changes to come into your life. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 19, 1, 46, 34, 17, 48

GEMINI

THE ESSENCE OF AQUARIUS S Independent-minded, they march to the beat of their own drum. S They may be cold and aloof, showing little to no emotion. S They’re impartial, believe in equality and treat everyone the same. S Unpredictability is an Aquarius shortcoming. S They’re authentic, innovative and progressive. S They can be obstinate and have a know-it-all attitude. S A friendly, sociable Aquarius has a wide circle of friends.

If you’re a true Aries, you’re a person who likes to do things your own way. But this week, getting help from others and cooperating with those around you will speed things up. Be a team player, rather than going it alone. Your focus is at risk of slipping and your resolve might waiver. You need to make use of any support on offer.

TAURUS

The Sun is in a compatible air sign, which should make it easy to express yourself creatively. Whatever your medium, this is a good week to let your creative juices flow. It’s also an appropriate time to develop any latent artistic talents. Not only will it keep boredom at bay, it’ll also add another skill to your repertoire of talents.

CANCER

The Sun moves into your love horoscope this week. If you’re a lone Leo, it’s a great time to turn on your charms and woo that special someone. If you’re in a romantic relationship, it’s the perfect week to make your person feel special. Make an effort to spoil the one you love a little, whether with gifts, words or deeds..

VIRGO

Your artistic flair is at an alltime high at the moment, enhancing imagination and flow. Don’t let procrastination rob you of opportunities to make the most of your creative impulse. Whether you’re a pro or an amateur, write, paint or perform for your own pleasure, to entertain your friends or please the masses.

SCORPIO

A domestic issue or family misunderstanding may derail your plans this week, leaving you disgruntled. Disruptions at the workplace won’t help to improve the situation, but your philosophical mindset and positive approach will stand you in good stead. It’s luckily a short phase and will be behind your soon.

The Sun is in your professional horoscope, illuminating this area of your life. It’s a good time to shift your focus to the outer, more public aspects of your world. Whether this involves building a business, a reputation or a career, make hay while the sun shines. Put some effort in now and keep the momentum going, even when unforeseen events cause a glitch or two.

50 | 23 JANUARY 2020 you.co.za

Dreaming of a holiday escape or being starry-eyed about a lover could interfere with your work productivity. Make an effort to concentrate on the task at hand. A lack of focus now will probably produce disappointing results or cause a calamity. Pouring energy into your job and giving it your best will bring you closer to reaching your work goals and might earn you some extra cash.

The emphasis now is on your health, so this week focus on your lifestyle. If you’re a Virgo who’s prone to worry, give relaxation techniques a go and incorporate yoga or meditation into your daily routine. As your sign rules the digestive system, you may also want to consider a wholefood diet, rich in fibre. Not sweating the small stuff should leave you healthier and happier too.

Venus, the love goddess, is in a compatible water sign, which should ease your comfort level when it comes to matters of the heart. It’s a magical week for love and romance. So if you’ve been eyeing someone, it’s the right time to make your interest known. If you’re one half of a couple, now’s a good time to head for a romantic weekend break and spend time focusing on each other.

It could be a challenging week, especially if you’re an organised Capricorn who likes things to be just so. Whether unforeseen expenses blow your budget or your authority is undermined and your efforts thwarted, you’re in for a bit of a rough ride. Don’t let this phase get you down. In the long run, your achievements will probably still outweigh your losses.

THE PROGNOSIS

A woman accompanies her husband to the doctor’s office. After his check-up, the doctor calls the wife into his office alone. He says, “Your husband is suffering from a very severe stress disorder. If you don’t follow my instructions carefully, your husband will surely die. “Each morning, fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant at all times. For lunch make him a nutritious meal. For dinner prepare an especially nice meal for him. “Don’t burden him with chores. Don’t discuss your problems with him; it will only make his stress worse. Don’t nag him. “If you can do this for the next 10 months to a year, I think your husband will regain his health completely.” On the way home, the husband asks his wife, “Well, what did the doctor say?” “He said you’re going to die,” she replies.

DISCOUNT DENTISTRY

One day, a man walks into a dentist’s office and asks how much it will cost to extract wisdom teeth. “Eight thousand rand,” the dentist says. “That’s a ridiculous amount,” the man says. “Isn’t there a cheaper option?” “Well,” the dentist says, “if I don’t use an anaesthetic, I can knock the price down to R6 000.” Looking annoyed the man says, “That’s still too expensive!” “Okay,” says the dentist. “If I save on anaesthesia and simply rip the teeth out with a pair of pliers, I can knock the price down to R1 800.” “Nope,” the man moans, “it’s still too much.” “Well,” says the dentist, scratching his head, “if I let one of my students do it, I suppose I can knock the price down to R350.” “Marvellous,” the man says. “Book my wife for next Tuesday!”

forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She says no, and the executioner shouts, “Ready . . . aim . . .” The redhead then screams, “Tsunami!” Yet again, everyone is startled and looks around. She too escapes. By this point, the blonde has figured out what the others did. The guards bring her forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She also says no, and the executioner shouts, “Ready . . . aim . . .” The blonde shouts, “Fire!”

A PIRATE’S LIFE

On an island in the Pacific Ocean, a pirate walks into a bar that he often frequents between his sea raids. He’s happy to see the familiar face of the friendly bartender. The bartender says, “Hey, I haven’t seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible.” “What do you mean?” the pirate says, raising an eyebrow. “I feel fine.” “What about the wooden leg? You certainly didn’t have that before.” “Oh yes, I’d already forgotten about that. We were in a battle off the Gold Coast and I got hit by a cannon ball, but I’m fine now.” “Well, okay, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand? Surely you’re constantly reminded about the fact that you only have one hand now?” “We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook. I’m fine, really.” “Really? So what about that eye patch?”

“Oh yeah, one day we were at sea and a flock of birds flew overhead. I looked up and one of them pooped in my eye.” “You’re kidding,” the bartender says. “You can’t lose an eye just from some bird poo.” “True . . . but it was my first day with the hook, you see.”

MARKETING 101

A salesman hugs a woman in a shop. She’s taken aback and says, “What on earth is this?” “It’s direct marketing,” the sleazy salesman replies with a smirk. The woman slaps him hard. “What’s this then?” the salesman asks. The woman replies, “It’s customer feedback!”

NOTE WELL

A husband leaves a message for his wife: “Dear, I’m just having my last glass of beer and coming home within 40 minutes. If I don’t make it in time, please read this same message again!”

A QUICK DRINK

A guy goes into a bar, orders 12 shots and starts drinking them as fast as he can. “Whoa, why are you drinking so fast?” the bartender asks. The guy replies, “You would be drinking fast too if you had what I had and needed to run.” “Why, what do you have?” asks the bartender, intrigued. The guy gets up quickly, gets ready to go and replies, “75 cents.” S

BLONDE EXECUTION

Three women are about to be executed by firing squad for crimes – a brunette, a redhead, and a blonde. Two guards bring the brunette forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She says no, and the executioner shouts, “Ready . . . aim . . .” Suddenly the brunette shouts, “Earthquake!” Everyone is startled and looks around. She makes her escape.

THE NEXT CHAPTER The Weeknd, real nam me Abel Tesfaye (29), has been dropping heavy hints that his new w studio album will be out soon. After the release of Starboy in 20116, the Can’t Feel My Face hitmaker is getting back in the game w with a new project, supposedly titled Chapter 6. During a recen nt performance in Toronto, the singer told the audieence, “Chapter 6, coming soon.” He also recently reactir vated his long-dormant Instagram accountt to tease fans with a message that read, “Tomo orrow night we start again.”

SHY GUY The singer rarely grants interviewss, but he told Time magazine – which had named h him one of 2018’s Next Generation Leaders – that’s mostly because he turns into a bundle of nervves when he has to talk about himself. When askeed if he’d ever do a live TV interview, he said, “I thin nk I’d puke.” He’s also mum about his private life, despite being famously linked to singer-actresss Selena Gomez and model Bella Hadid. A SONG ABOUT SELENA We don’t know much about his upcoming album, but it seems likely ex Selena Gomez inspired one of his upcoming tracks. According to the ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and a Publishers) website, The Weeknd registered d a song titled Like Selena.

May the Force be with you (from left): rebels Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo), Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Finn (John Boyega) reunite for one last mission.

WALT DISNEY STUDIOS MOTION PICTURES, NBC, ITV CHOICE

CHILL OUT | WHAT TO WATCH

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Sci-fi adventure. With Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Adam Driver. Director: JJ Abrams. 10-12PG V.

Having escaped the fascist First Order and its leader, Kylo Ren (Driver), Jedi apprentice Rey (Daisy Ridley) is trying to complete her training under Resistance leader General Leia Organa (Fisher). When a mysterious galaxy-wide broadcast reveals that Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) has returned from the dead, Rey and allies Finn (John Boyega) and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) set off on a mission to find his uncharted home base. The Force Awakens (2015) director Abrams was given the mammoth task of bringing the ninth and apparently final instalment of the Star Wars Skywalker Saga to a close. The previous instalment, The Last Jedi (2017), deliberately subverted expectations, sending the plot and characters in a direction some fans weren’t happy with. But with the nearly perfect blend of thrills, humour and heart he brought to reviving both this and the Star Trek franchises, Abrams accomplishes the seemingly impossible task of tying all the narrative strands together and bringing the epic series to an exhilarating and emotionally resonant close. Fisher’s death in 2016 and the admirable decision not to recreate her performance digitally forced the filmmakers to build scenes around unused footage of her from Force 58 | 23 JANUARY 2020 you.co.za

Awakens. Though this causes some awkward pauses and gaps, the film wouldn’t have had such an emotional impact without Fisher’s presence and gives Leia a fitting farewell. Having a woman as the lead in a blockbuster never gets old and Ridley doesn’t receive enough credit for essentially carrying the new trilogy on her shoulders. She brings nuance to what could’ve been a dull goody-two-shoes and is a strong enough presence to convince you Rey can take on the imposing Driver. The latter also adds subtle dimensions and evokes empathy for what in less talented hands would simply be an irredeemable villain. Rey and Kylo’s engaging dynamic is the core of the film, which leaves Finn and Poe with less interesting things to do. They do get humorous, heroic and affecting moments but spend a lot of time with new characters, who unfortunately remain underdeveloped due to their late introduction in the series. But with all the breathtaking visuals, spectacular space b tt es t illi li ts b e ts and cute critt you could w in a Star W film plus a fin that should h you both che ing and teari up, Abra pulls off one the most dif cult things serial storyte ing: he stic the landing. Adam Driver plays the conflicted Kylo Ren, who wants to turn Rey to the Dark Side.

At first this series seemed to be another straightforward drama about family life. But thanks to its clever use of flashbacks and -forwards, This Is Us keeps surprising you and finding interesting things to say about how the past can affect the present and the role parents still play in their adult children’s lives. Though often heartwarming , the show doesn’t shy away from the difficult moments we all experience.This emotional honesty plus the great acting are what keep you watching as you hope siblings Kate (Chrissy Metz), Kevin (Justin Hartley) and Randall (Sterling K Brown) can find happiness, while in the past you see their folks, Rebecca (Mandy Moore) and Jack (Milo Ventimiglia), try to be the best parents they can be.

MY LIFE AND RUGBY: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY

We review two thrillers, a gripping fantasy, and Eddie Jones’ fascinating rugby tell-all

READ THIS

EDITED BY JANE VORSTER

GOOD GIRL BAD GIRL By MICHAEL ROBOTHAM Simon & Schuster It’s great to see Robotham developing a new psychologist character. He’s hopefully moving away from Joe O’Loughlin, the star of his previous series who has no more interesting storylines left. Like Joe, Cyrus Haven is a forensic psychologist who helps the police to understand serious crimes. He’s asked to assist after a teen is found dead on a path near her home. Jodie was down-to-earth and loved by everyone, her family and friends say. But Cyrus soon

discovers all is not as it seems. Meanwhile, he also tries to help another young woman, Evie Cormac, when she petitions the court to be classiﬁed as an adult. Six years earlier Evie was found hiding in a home in which a man had been murdered. She won’t tell anyone her name or where she comes from, so the court can’t say what age she is and won’t allow her out of the secure children’s home she’s in. Cyrus is intrigued by this ﬁerce yet clearly traumatised teen. Through their interaction you also learn about his complex, tragic past. Can’t wait for the next instalment. – CHARLENE ROLLS

THE SECRET OF COLD HILL By PETER JAMES Macmillan This is the follow-up to The House on Cold Hill. That house has now been demolished to make way for a new luxury housing estate. Artist Jason Danes and his chef wife, Emily, and elderly couple Claudette and Maurice Penze-Weedell are the ﬁrst two families to move in. Jason and Emily are thrilled with their new house, but they and their neighbours soon realise they aren’t the only occupants of the estate. They hear strange noises, windows and doors open and close, the microwave explodes and a spectral woman wanders around the younger couple’s house. Although this is the second instalment in the Cold Hill series, it can be read as a standalone novel. I’ve read and loved James’’ Detective Superintendent Roy Grace series, but am not sure what to make of this book. Is it a ghost story, a novel about pure evil, or a horror story? One thing is certain: it’s creepy enough. – ANDRÉ J BRINK

THE WINTER OF THE WITCH By KATHERINE ARDEN Del Rey This is a beautiful ending to the Winternight trilogy, which started with The Bear and the Nightingale and was followed by The Girl in the Tower. You must read the ﬁrst two books for this one to be appreciated – but b t its it’s time t well spent. It’s a fantasy novel set in 14th-century Russia and focuses on Vasya, a young woman from an ordinary family, and a frost demon known as Morozko. They’re caught up in a battle between humans, gods and demons and have to make choices that could ruin or save their respective worlds. Those familiar with Russian fairytales and folklore will recognise some of the characters, such as Baba Yaga, but the story is ﬁlled with unusual creatures and Arden brings them to life in great detail. The epic battles (yes, battles) that conclude the series are satisfying, bringing a range of characters into play. This is a story about adventure, family, history, tradition and religion – but it’s also about love. It’s one of my favourite fantasy series of all time. – CHARLENE ROLLS

By EDDIE JONES Macmillan “South Africa have got a history of being the most physically intimidating team in the world and they have a massively aggressive forward pack.” The Springboks figure prominently in Jones’ memoir – and for good reason. It starts off with that famous win for Japan in the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England when the team he coached caused one of the greatest upsets ever in international rugby by beating the Boks. Jones was also part of Jake White’s coaching team that helped steer the Boks to victory in the 2007 world cup. And of course his team – this time England – got beaten by the Boks in the 2019 world cup. This autobiography recounts Jones’ many achievements as a coach – winning the Super 12 with the Brumbies and triumphing in back-to-back Six Nations Championships with England – but also his greatest defeats and disappointments, among them as coach of Australia losing the 2003 world cup final against England and the defeat against the Boks in 2019. Apart from the rugby, it also tells the tale of a young boy – part Australian, part Japanese – growing up and having to face racial discrimination. In telling his life story, Jones comes across as an honest and humble man. Worth reading if you’re a rugby fanatic. – ANDRÉ J BRINK

Still, that’s Adam for you: slick, efficient and organised – and woe betide anyone who doesn’t meet his high standards. Wearily, I reached for my coat. To be honest, I wasn’t really in a party mood, but I knew Samantha would’ve gone to a lot of trouble (and frankly, she’s not the kind of woman who accepts a no). “I promised to pick up Kathy and Kev on the way,” said Adam casually as we strolled to the car. “So, you’d better sit in the back.” Hmm. I knew what that meant: he wanted Kathy in the passenger seat so he could ogle her long, slender legs for the entire journey. Oh, Adam. I can read you like a book!

WATCHED through the car window as he kissed Kathy hello. Predictably, he let his hand linger just a little too long on her shapely behind when he guided her down the path. Her husband, Kev, didn’t seem to notice, probably because he was too busy staring at my cleavage. Suddenly I felt faintly depressed. What’s wrong with the world? I found myself wondering. Is everybody looking outside their own marriage for excitement and attraction? I never used to be so cynical. There was a time when I was hopelessly starryeyed and idealistic about relationships, believing in the fairytale, despite the warnings of everyone around me. Wistfully, I remembered Mom’s words on that night two years ago: the night I told her Adam had proposed. “Oh, Emma,” she’d exclaimed, fighting back tears of thinly disguised dismay. “I want to be happy for you, truly, but you could do so much better than him.” “Mom!” I snapped, outraged. “How can you say that? Adam’s everything I’ve ever wanted! We love each other!” “Love isn’t always enough, darling.” Her voice sounded all solemn and wise, like Obi-Wan Kenobi. “Believe me, he won’t make you happy.” I flounced off in an angry huff, refusing to listen to any more. But I couldn’t help noticing how Mom’s face clouded at our engagement party when Adam had too much champagne and started flirting with all my female friends when he thought I wasn’t looking. If I remember correctly, he patted

Kathy’s bottom that night too. Hmm. A certain old saying about leopards and spots springs to mind.

‘H

E R E w e a re , t h e n ,” boomed Adam, jolting me back to the present. Samantha welcomed us at the door, resplendent in a frighteningly expensive dress. Bossily, she shooed us all into the living room where the party was in full swing. I pasted on a fake smile, but deep down inside I was squirming. The room was full of people I’d known since my schooldays, yet I felt like a stranger. Everyone seemed to be showing off, talking too loudly, competing. Adam soon got into his stride, telling risqué jokes and gulping down the wine as if it was going out of fashion. Uh-oh. He had a good excuse to let his hair down tonight, of course: he’d just clinched a major contract, worth big money. Typical Adam, always the high-flyer! That’s partly why Mom’s words had seemed so odd on the night of the engagement. “Oh, Emma. You could do so much better.” After all, how could a girl possibly do any better than Adam? Handsome, ambitious, capable, dynamic. He even started his own business while the rest of our gang were still at varsity! Oh yes, it was obvious even back then that he was special. So what on earth did Mom mean: you could do so much better? Who did she want me to marry, for goodness sake. James Bond? David Beckham? Prince Harry? Feeling strangely emotional, I wandered out into the garden and instantly did a double-take. “Ben?” “Emma!” The tall figure on the patio opened his arms joyfully. “What a lovely surprise! I haven’t seen you since we were 17!” As he hugged me, my spirits instantly lifted. Was it really him? Ben Hooper, the shy, sweet, friendly boy I’d sat next to in French class a million years ago? We’d whiled away many a dull lesson laughing and joking about the teachers. Nothing romantic had ever happened between us. But I’d always liked him. He was the kind of guy you could trust, talk to, have fun with. And now he’d turned into a delicious hunk! Yet the kindness in his eyes was still there, joined by a

Is your life fulfilled and happy?” I turned back to the window. Adam on about her flashy new sports car.” He grimaced. I could see he felt the same had started dancing suggestively with way as I did about this party and these Kathy, while Kev appeared to be whispering sweet nothings in the ear of a people. “To be honest,” he confessed, “I’ve clearly sozzled Samantha. “No,” I replied, simply. “No, there’s abbeen feeling a bit uncomfortable.

NOW YOU KNOW The mosquito’s whiny buzzing comes from the female’s wings beating between 200 and 600 times a second. Thousands of tiny scale-shaped hairs on the wings contribute to the familiar sound.

The female Anopheles mosquito (with a blood-ﬁlled abdomen) can transmit malaria, an often fatal disease. The males, with much bushier antennae, feed mainly on nectar. Malaria-carrying mosquitoes occur in the areas marked in red on the map.

The

Did you know that female mozzies live longer than males? Let’s learn more about these insects

OU’ VE probably been woken at night by the high-pitched buzzing of this wispy insect, which weighs no more than a fraction of a gram. And after it’s bitten you, you usually start itching and scratching furiously. There are thousands of mosquito species in the world that pass disease to humans and animals and cause the deaths of thousands of people every year. But although the mosquito might seem to be only a pest, it does have an important role in the ecosystem. Let’s find out more.

WHERE ARE MOSQUITOES FOUND?

They’re found everywhere in the world except Antarctica and need mainly water to survive. The water in which they live ranges

from stagnant pools to fresh floodwaters, swamps and rivers. Each mosquito species is found in a speciﬁc type of environment so various regions in the world host particular mosquito species. The insects vary in size and are carriers of several Imago (adult) diseases.

are mainly l responsible bl ffor spreading di h human diseases. They are Anopheles, Aedes and Culex. Anopheles transmit malaria while Aedes transmit, among other things, yellow fever to humans and animals. Culex is the common domestic mosquito, carrier of West Nile fever and avian malaria.

LIFE CYCLE

A mosquito’s life cycle consistsoffour phases: egg, larva, pupa and adult. The female usually lays about 100 eggs at a time TYPES Pupa on open water – but can lay Mosquitoes are Eggs up to 500. In some species a type of fly and the females lay eggs only belong to the Culicidae Larva once, while other species’ family. They’re divided into females can lay eggs several three subfamilies: Anophelitimes in their lifetime. Anopheles nae, Culicinae and Toxorhynand Aedes females lay eggs one at a chites. Each group ranges in size from time, while Culex females lay eggs in clusters. a minuscule 3mm to a more visible 19mm. Of In certain species, such as Culex tarsalis, the the world’s approximately 3 500 mosquito complete life cycle from egg to adult lasts just species, 800 are found in Africa and 100 in 10 to 14 days. Some species even complete South Africa. Of these, three types (genera) their life cycle in four days, while the female adults of others hibernate through winter to lay their eggs in spring. It takes their pupae two to three days to develop into adults. The life cycle of a female mosquito ranges from two weeks to six months. Males usually don’t live longer than a week.

DIET

Culex mosquitoes carry West Nile fever and avian malaria. 72 | 23 JANUARY 2020 you.co.za

An ideal breeding place. The female mosquito lays her eggs in or close to stagnantt or slow-moving water such as swamps and rivers. In urban environments, car tyres filled with rainwater are the ideal breeding ground. mosquito we’re trying to avoid so often is really the female of the species. Although she also feeds on nectar, she needs the protein in blood to produce her eggs, which is why she hunts for supplies of blood all day. She also bites other mammals, as well as reptiles, frogs and birds. Certain mosquitoes even live off the blood of other insects, such as praying mantises and ants. Mosquitoes have a long, pointed mouthpart, or proboscis, to suck up fruit juice or blood. We refer to a mosquito biting us, but it’s really a matter of that long tube or snout piercing our skin. As the female pierces our skin, she also deposits saliva at the site, which is what causes the itching. After feeding, the female weighs nearly three times more. Every stage of the mosquito’s life cycle – from larva to adult – plays a role in the ecosystem. Believe it or not, but even humans can benefit from the presence of mosquito larvae in water. The larvae have brushes on either side of their mouth that pick up algae, micro-organisms and organic waste in water. This makes them effective water purifiers. Mosquitoes are also a valuable source of

Mosquitoes (and their larvae) are a popular meal for dragonflies (and their nymphs). food for a wide range of animals, including birds, bats, dragonflies and frogs. Their high nutritional value makes mosquito larvae an important food source for fish. But in some parts of the world, especially Africa, the insect endangers human life. This makes it essential to practise mosquito control by spraying insecticides and by eradicating stagnant water pools. You can do your part by emptying containers holding stagnant water in your yard. While malaria is the disease that’s most commonly associated with mosquitoes, the insects also spread – or act as a carrier – of other diseases. Anopheles spread malaria, and various other species are responsible for spreading Rift Valley fever, Wesselsbron disease, yellow fever, meningitis and several other viral diseases. With malaria, which claims nearly half a million lives a year, most of the fatalities are recorded in developing countries. This could be attributed to a lack of knowledge, medication or mosquito nets in the areas where Anopheles

AN ARTIFICIAL MOSQUITO?

The Ugandan government plans to propagate a genetically modiﬁed mosquito to combat malaria. This mosquito will spread a genetic mutation that’s lethal to the Anopheles mosquito. It’s hoped this will reduce the numbers of these mosquitoes. So, don’t underestimate this teensy insect. Know your environment and its mosquitoes – and ensure you know how to prevent or combat the diseases they can cause. S

HOW TO TELL IF IT’S SERIOUS

HOW TO TREAT A BITE OR STING B For a painful sting (such as a bee-sting), take over-the-counter painkillers. B Put an ice pack on itchy bites and apply a topical cream. B To relieve swelling, put an ice pack or cold, wet facecloth on it.

GENERAL TIPS TO PREVENT BITES B In an area with lots of insects, cover up with clothing. B Use insect repellents such as creams or gels. B Switch on a fan nearby – it disperses the carbon dioxide you exhale.

THE WIFE FACTORY

What does marriage mean in 2020? Bride-to-be KATIE GLASS signs up to “wife school” in Russia and the US to find out how NOT to do it

T WAS my hilarious fiancé’s idea. He’d been watching neat-freak Marie Kondo’s TV show and complaining about the state of my flat. Much to his dismay I don’t own an iron. Or a kettle. And keep only nail varnish and vodka in my fridge. “You should go to wife school,” he joked, googling it as we laughed. I don’t know who was more surprised when several options appeared. I barely need detail my objections to wife school. The very concept feels regressive and sexist. What does it even mean to be a “wife” in 2020, when I earn more than my fiancé does? Going to wife school would’ve remained a silly joke if, secretly, I hadn’t also had my own worries about my suitability for marriage. With our wedding approaching, I’m increasingly anxious about what “forever” really involves – and what becoming a wife means for me. Does craving security and romance while wanting a big party and meringue dress mean I’m not a proper feminist? Mostly, I worry marriage means losing my own identity. When people joke that being a wife entails having my husband’s dinner on the table with a ribbon in my hair, I’m not laughing – that’s exactly what I fear. Maybe a “wife school” could teach me something about love as well as marriage. I decide to give it a go. I find out that in Russia wife schools train women (and gold-diggers) to charm men, bag husbands and be perfect housewives in a competitive, oligarch-rich marriage market. I ask a Russian friend if she’s heard of such schools. “Sure,” she shrugs. “They have sex lessons.” My fiancé wastes no time signing me up.

Established by Larisa Renar, a psychologist, biologist and MBA, the academy’s courses include How to Return Love to a Fading Relationship, How to Get Gifts, and one on the Art of Sexual Affection, advertised by a photograph of a woman in lingerie with the euphemistic strapline “How to play the magic flute”. Tonight, 20 women in their twenties and thirties, in pretty tops and flowing silk skirts, gather in the basement to learn How to Find a Husband. Our teacher, Ekaterina, wearing a gem-encrusted floor-length gown, leads us through a meditation. We visualise ourselves in a pink love castle, a pink love flower blooming inside us and our ideal husband before us. Ekaterina instructs us to visualise our man, down to his “social status and income”. Around me, women concentrate. I ask

insists sex is the most important thing in any marriage. “It’s very good if a woman cooks,” she nods, but “first sex, then borscht [Russian beetroot soup]”. In Russia, Maria explains, “every woman wants to have an oligarch”. And men want “good sex”. Maria’s oldest student is 86. In her classroom, young women in their early twenties sit in rows clutching clipboards as if at a university lecture. Today Maria’s course is on How to Be a Perfect Lover. There’s a lot to cover. First, it’s important how we look. Maria advises we should wear fishnets because men are hunters instinctively attracted to something caught in a net. Manicured hands make frantic notes. It’s important we smell right too, Maria says, claiming that after the age of 20 women’s sexual pheromones dry up (studies have yet to prove conclusively the existence of human sex pheromones). She hands around pheromone per-

‘European women are more concentrated on their career. Russian women are looking for love' Ekaterina why they come. “European and Russian women are not alike,” she drawls. “European women are more concentrated on their career; they’re more independent, concentrated on themselves. Russian women are looking for love, they dedicate themselves to the home, they’re able to sacrifice their career for men.” I suspect she’s right. Once, economic necessity was the main reason women got married – we’ve all read our Jane Austen. Perhaps a lack of opportunity still drives some Russian women, or perhaps they’re just naturally more romantic. Renar’s book suggests that women trying to attract a husband should wear dangly earrings and high heels and act “playful”, “girlish”, “obedient” and “naive”. I look down at my comfy playsuit and realise I’m going to have to change up my whole act. The next day, in lipstick, heels and a minidress, I totter to Moscow’s Secrets Centre, a funky hipster warehouse where women study “the development of marital relations”. There’s a statue of Cupid in the reception area. Inside, a vast sex shop is stocked with enough paraphernalia to make a dominatrix blush. Our teacher, Maria, elfin-faced and white-haired in a skin-tight black dress,

fume to try. It smells like gone-off White Musk. Maria imparts statistics about what men fantasise about (too filthy to print). Some girls giggle, others blush. One asks whether we’ll get a certificate when we finish the class. I’m amused by Russian sex lessons, but also irritated. I’m a pro-sex feminist, yet these classes aren’t about women’s desires – only the grim necessity of doing what your man wants in bed. As the basis for marriage, surely there’s got to be more? What happens when your pheromone perfume has run out and the baby’s crying again? Not all the courses are sexual. There are classes in How to Create the Perfect Couple, How to Quarrel Correctly and How to Revive Fading Relationships. For 6 500 roubles (about R3 250) I sign up for How to Make a Man Fall in Love with You. It’s for women whose “husband has cooled” or for whom “boredom and routine prevail” in their relationships. Our teacher, a pneumatic blonde with Slavic cheekbones, introduces herself as a psychologist and sexologist. The 10 women here are aged between 20 and 45. Some are single, others married or divorced.

thing in mom jeans explains she’s here because something is missing from her marriage. A pretty 18-year-old in a pink hoodie worries she can’t get her relationships “to the logical completion”. “Do you mean a wedding?” the teacher asks. The girl nods: “Yes, I don’t want to make mistakes women shouldn’t make.” The first thing we learn is that in order to make a man fall in love with you, you have to love yourself to a “narcissistic” extent. If men see us as a princess, they’ll treat us like one. The second thing we must learn is to take: presents, actions, attention. To make a man love us we must let him invest. Over an intense four hours we cover what feels like a PhD thesis in relationships: we learn hypnosis, neurolinguistic programming, psychological techniques and “love spells”. Is this what people mean when they say marriage takes work? On the whiteboard our teacher draws a diagram showing the three different parts of the brain that control instincts, emotions and rationality. She explains men’s actions are controlled by their subconscious mind, so we should use hypnosis to influence them. To do this, we must make sure our man’s conscious brain is switched off – for example when they’re playing video games, watching sport, are postcoital or drunk. At such moments we might whisper: “Your heart is beating when you’re next to me.” Visual metaphors are important, apparently. We learn about men’s “imprints” – the early experiences that establish their ideas of the perfect wife, perhaps influenced by their mother or female characters they saw in films, books and cartoons. We’re told to find out what they are. We’re taught a convoluted hypnosis technique, invented by the American psychiatrist Milton Erickson, that involves telling a story in six parts. You start by talking about, say, how beautiful Italy is, pivot to chatting about a friend, then weave in something you want. After that, return to the friend, then Italy, leaving the demand sandwiched in between, working on his subconscious. We learn to fluctuate our emotions like a Katy Perry song to make our man want us more. Close then distant, hot then cold. The teacher suggests establishing a common ritual, then breaking it. For example, having coffee with him every 82 | 23 JANUARY 2020 you.co.za

Monday, then suddenly not turning up. One woman frets that she won’t be able to remember all this. Don’t worry, grins our teacher, soon it’ll be like riding a bike. Still, I’m uncomfortable. Shouldn’t we be framing men as our peers, not as obstacles to be negotiated? It’s during the second half of the course that things gets seriously weird. The lights go off. Our teacher gets out a box of latex dildos and instructs us to take one. We’re told to hold the phallus tightly, close our eyes and take ownership of it. “Touch it, think about how it feels,” she encourages. Then abruptly our teacher slams her penis to the ground, telling us to do the same. In order to make men love us, she explains, we have to get rid of our phalluses. We must be women, not men.

RETURN home to England with more questions than answers. Namely: do women want so little, and are men really this easy to manipulate? I spend the next few days attempting to hypnotise my fiancé. I grill him about his “imprints” and discover he fancied Jodie

Foster in The Silence of the Lambs, which is worrying. I act girlishly, wear heels and fishnets, and am almost disappointed by how delighted he is. I magnanimously offer to let him buy me some earrings and, to my amazement, he agrees. I attempt the Erickson technique to get him to do something he hates – take me shopping at Bicester Village. “I took the dog to the park today,” I begin casually. “I’m seeing Cecily later. She loves discount shopping. Oh, isn’t Bicester Village wonderful?” No response. I continue blathering. “Discount shopping’s such fun. Cecily’s wonderful. Did I mention I took the dog to the park?” He looks up. “If you want to go to Bicester Village, why don’t you just ask?” I go all out to embrace the role of housewife. I cook, clean, make the bed, go to the launderette with his shirts, do the grocery shopping. I’m so busy I have no time for work. After a week I’m annoyed. Is this really the only way to be a wife? Unlike many of the women I met at Russian wife school, I’m not marrying for money. I’m not even marrying to have kids. My rea-

sons aren’t practical but emotional. I want someone to be close to, have fun with, and share a connection and support. Someone who shares my values and ambitions as well as housework. I want a partnership in which we both thrive, not where my life is about servicing his needs. So I head west to America in search of another way to be a spouse.

IFE 4 Life University, now renamed WifeSavers, is all about marital harmony. It was founded by Ramona Zabriskie, who looks like a glamorous Martha Stewart before she went to jail. She’s been a wife and a “celebrated marriage mentor” for 40 years. Ramona is sweet as apple pie. She’s so excited I’m getting married and thrilled I’ll be attending her wife school. She dreams of the day all brides will marry with one of her wife school certificates to their names. American wife school doesn’t offer quick fixes. It’s more work than my Eng-

lish degree was. The online course combines video tutorials, quizzes and worksheets. I tell my fiancé I’ll have to do wife homework and he looks optimistically at the ironing. As if ! I’m too busy writing essays, doing tests and learning affirmations, such as “I’m ready to do what it takes to cherish and be cherished”. My worksheets involve thinking about the marriages that’ve influenced me (such as that of my parents, who quickly divorced), how I met my fiancé (drunk in Soho) and why we want to be together (because I fall asleep laughing with him and he’s so good in bed). It asks me about why and how I want to be a wife, encouraging me to explore our differences. Ramona gets me to write about our

best and worst times together. I write about the time we took an outside bubble bath in Big Sur, California. And the time I was admitted to hospital and he looked after me, washing my hair. After three weeks, I notice that we still haven’t discussed sex. Instead of focusing on the material aspects of the relationship, as we did in Russia, we spend more time examining our emotions. This feels more like modern marriage. Which isn’t to say that some of the things Ramona says don’t feel dated. I get frustrated when she declares that “by your very nature, your gender [women] are creative”. And irritated when she tells me I am “a dream maker – women make dreams come true for themselves and those around them”. It’s telling that marriage began declining in the ’70s as feminism exploded and women saw other options for themselves. If I’ve learnt anything at both my wife schools, it’s what I don’t want – and that’s to be defined by a gender stereotype I don’t recognise in myself. Surely modern marriages work only when people are free to bring what they want, and are best at, to a relationship regardless of their sex. There are also some empowering moments at American wife school. Ramona encourages me not to look to my husband for everything I need, but instead to nurture my own creativity, self-respect and self-care. But I find it frustrating that, while the focus might be different, it’s still the women having to do the heavy lifting. As if marriage is always – and only – women’s work. Still, I am affected by one of the exercises she asks me to do. She gets me to write a letter to my husband as if it were decades from now. In it, I tell him about all the fun we’ve had: honeymooning in Italy in our VW campervan, building a cabin in the woods, spending our 10th anniversary at the Burning Man Festival. I write about how hard things were when we lost our business after our daughter was born, when our granddaughter was ill. I thank him for making me feel safe, for having my back, for teaching me what family is. As I’m writing it, I come to understand what I want from marriage: a partner, a family, a best friend I’m having lots of sex with. Is modern marriage really that simple? Maybe I needed to go to wife school to learn that it is. S © THE SUNDAY TIMES MAGAZINE / NEWS LICENSING you.co.za 23 JANUARY 2020

QUEEN IN THE MAKING She’s just seven years old yet Olwethu has already won 48 beauty pageants BY QHAMA DAYILE PICTURES: PAPI MORAKE

HE struts down the driveway, an oversized tiara perfectly poised on her head. Little Olwethu Mhlongo is practising for the upcoming International Junior Miss 2020 in Texas in the United States. Parading on the paved driveway of her grandmother’s house in Protea Glen, Soweto, has already helped the pint-size beauty queen win 48 contests across South Africa in the past three years. “This is what I was born to do. Modelling and maths are my best friends,” she tells us. Olwethu’s grandmother, Prudence Mhlongo, beams as she listens to the seven-year-old. “I honestly don’t know where Olwethu got the confidence to speak the way she does, but thank God. All I want to do is to keep motivating her to give her best.” Prudence (50) has raised the little girl since she was a baby and couldn’t be prouder. Olwethu has been chosen to represent South Africa on the world stage. The Miss Little Soweto Ambassador wants to add another crown to her glittering collection. Her 48 tiaras are proudly displayed in 84 | 23 JANUARY 2020 you.co.za

the wall unit of their modest lounge for visitors to take in. “They must see I’m God’s favourite princess,” Olwethu says. “And they must see my piano certificate and my maths certificate.” The Grade 2 learner is looking forward to excelling at school this year – as she did last year when she obtained four As, including in one of her favourite subject, maths. She wants to make a success of her life – just like her favourite beauty queen, Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi. “I love her, and I can’t wait to meet her one day and maybe share a stage with her. “Do you know her hair looks just like mine? Natural,” Olwethu says, stroking her Afro. The little girl had terrible experiences with the chemicals used to straighten her hair – until she was inspired by glamorous Zozi to rock her natural ’do. “Every time I take her to the salon the chemicals burn her scalp and she always leaves crying because most pageants want her to either braid her hair, wear a wig or relax her hair, and that gives her sores,” Prudence says. “After she saw Zozi’s haircut she refused to put chemicals on her hair.”

HEN she was five, one of Olwethu’s teachers brought scouts from a modelling agency to their crèche in Krugersdorp in Gauteng. Thanks to her natural beauty and charm, the little girl took to the limelight like a duckling to water. A few months later, in August 2017, she won her first competition, Miss Cansa, and she’s been taking part in pageants ever since. “I had no idea this would be her first love,” Prudence says. “Well, not first love, Gogo,” Olwethu corrects her. “I also love maths and reading. I love all three equally.” When she isn’t buried in a book, she loves getting dolled up. “I love seeing people scream for me and having fun with my friends on stage.” Olwethu still has plenty of time to plan her future but for now she’s playing with the idea of becoming a chef. “I love cooking and baking with granny. My favourite meal is spaghetti bolognese. But I also really love maths, so I’ll decide when I go to high school.” Later this year she’ll also take part in the SA Mathematics Olympiad. Juggling her academic life and all the

preparations that go into her beauty pageants is gruelling, says Prudence, who takes care of Olwethu while her single mother works in Midrand. “My mom visits every weekend but she’s not a fan of modelling. Don’t talk about that. Can we concentrate on me and my grandmother and my modelling career?” “I train her not to speak about the things that make her uncomfortable,” Prudence explains. “But her mom supports us, she pays her fees and takes care of us.” Prudence says although she’s fit to work she’s “just not getting jobs”, so she devotes all her time to her granddaughter. “Maybe that’s the reason I’m unemployed – to groom Olwethu.” She also helps her granddaughter pre anddaughter prepare for all her interview ws. “She practises walking at homee and a we do a Q&A at least once a we week as a rehearsal,” Prudence sayys. “I love practising beccaause that’s the only time granny leets me wear the crowns,” Olwethu ad adds. In between preparin ngg for pageants, doing sums an nd d reading Moan Moan Moan byy Julia J Donaldson, Olwethu plaayys with her friends in the cul-de-ssac near her home. “My friends don’t mo od del but they always cheerr for f me when I go to comp peetitions.”

Prudence bursts into laughter. “Don’t worry, you’re getting there, my baby. Tell them what your favourite song is.” “Dream It Possible by Delacey. But I can only sing it when it plays,” Olwethu says, giggling. To take part in the competition, which will be held at the swanky Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Centre, they need to raise about R83 000. “We’re also responsible for all the outfits, estimated at R17 000,” Prudence says. “I know we’ll get the money somehow.” “I’d really love to go because I know I’ll win,” Olwethu says. “My granny says if I want something badly enough, I’ll get it.” “But you know there’s nothing wrong with not winning everything, right?” her grandmother asks. “There have been competitions she hasn’t won, but I’ve taught her never to be a sore loser and always to be happy for the person who won because her time will come.” “Yes, Gogo, I know, I know,” Olwethu says. “But I’ll win this one.” With such determination, this little dynamo is bound to dazzle.

Ian Kreidich and Kelly Pratt, photographers and authors of the book Dancers & Dogs.

OU couldn’t get two more different creatures: the ballet dancer, all discipline, poise and control, and the dog, playful, goofy and unpredictable. But combine the two in a photograph and sheer magic happens. Dancers & Dogs started out as a random idea in 2017 when Kelly Pratt and Ian Kreidich, a husband-andwife team of photographers from St Louis in the USA who work with dancers, came up with a radical idea: “What if we took pictures of ballet dancers with dogs?” They fell in love with the concept after photographing their first dancer-dog duo and the Dancers & Dogs project was born. The couple, who photographed 101 dancers and 123 dogs in 10 cities over two-and-a-half years, have now assembled their most breathtaking shots in a coffee-table book. The main takeaway? You can bring out the lighter side of dancers while teaching old dogs new tricks. “Dancers & Dogs shows the more lighthearted, human side of dancers,” Kelly says. “The soul of this book is not about perfection – an idea that can be very hard for ballet dancers! “It’s about being in the moment and experiencing joy. Because dogs don’t care if you have the highest arabesque [leg raise] or can do 32 perfect fouettes [turns]. “They just love you as you are.”

IT’S TOUGH AT THE TOP

You need broad shoulders and nerves of steel to be a manager of a top English side – and there’s no such thing as job security

COMPILED BY JANE VORSTER

T’S not the kind of career you go into if you value job security. As a manager of a club in the English Premier League results are all that count and if your team fails too many times, you’re out. The days of a manager staying for decades at one club – like Alex Ferguson did at Manchester United and Arsène Wenger at Arsenal – are long gone.

Already this season has seen several managers being given the chop, including Arsenal’s Unai Emery and Tottenham Hotspur’s Mauricio Pochettino, leaving football fans wondering who’ll be next. Meanwhile Liverpool’s Jürgen Klopp and Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola are the only two stalwarts who remain – and they stand head and shoulders above their rival managers.

‘EACH KID NEEDS A BLACK DOLL!’ She didn’t like light-skinned dolls that didn’t look like her, so this mom decided to make her own version BY LESEGO MASOGA

SUPPLIED, INSTAGRAM/LUVDOLLS

HE didn’t like playing with dolls when she was growing up. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to – she just felt she couldn’t relate to them. Most of the dolls in toy shops had blonde hair, fair skin and blue eyes and looked nothing like her or her friends. At weekends she’d scour flea markets in search of second-hand dolls, then take a crayon or felt-tip pen and try to colour them brown. “But I didn’t like the result,” Yolanda Yawa-Donkers says. And so when she was 14 she started experimenting with creating her own dolls, making them more representative of the millions of black kids in South Africa. Today she’s the proud owner of Luvuthando Dolls, a brand that promotes diversity and aims to instil confidence in black children. “I’m passionate about the black child and wanted to create a product that will be fun and inspiring,” says Yolanda (42), who grew up in Gugulethu, Cape Town. She made her first dolls to look like her mother Thozama and nieces Sinentle and Aya. Her sons Luvuyo and Uthando are the inspiration behind the name of her business. “Combined it means feel the love,” she says. “I knew I had to teach my children about our culture and about diversity and how everyone is unique.” Growing up, Yolanda battled colourism and when she became a mother, she wanted her children to be comfortable in their skin. “I was teased about my skin tone by family members – they’d call me nomnyamazan’egadini, which means the darkest one in the garden. The bullying would only fuel my energy to shine my light brighter.” Her dolls, which have African names 92 | 23 JANUARY 2020 you.co.za

and an Afrocentric look, are manufactured in China. “We then re-root some of the dolls’ hair to give them a more natural and realistic look. Some are braided, others have afros or dreadlocks. “We allso change h the h eye and d llip colour l and applly foundation and blusher before sealing the makeup for durability.” Yoland da, who launched her business in December 2017, designs each doll’s c lothing, using fabric sourced from all over Africa. She alsso designs the accessories, whicch include handbags, neckweaar, headwraps and shoes. “The reesponse has been amazingg,” she says. “It was a validaation that this couldn’t only be a viable business, but I’d also be making m a difference in the world, in a small way. w ” ER story is nothing short of inspiring. She’d been living with HIV for four years when she fell pregnant with her first son at the age of 25 – and nine months after his birth, her second was born. “I felt blessed that regardless g of the stigma associated with HIV, I was able to give birth not to one but two healthy, intelligent and remarkable boys. “I wanted my life to mean something and create a legacy for them.” Her status has encouraged her to work closely with charities, spreading the message of living positively. “I don’t want to speak to people about what they can’t do – I want to show them what they can do, and living a vibrant, fulfilling life is the key message.”

LTHOUGH she regularly travels to Cape Town, Yolanda now lives in the Netherlands with her Dutch husband, Walter Donkers, who she met in the Mother City in 2009 when he was in the country on holiday. He helped her get her business off the ground. With the financial support he gave her and her own savings, she set up shop in Woodstock, Cape Town. “At the moment the only equipment we use are sewing machines for the clothing but soon we want to invest in doll-making equipment, which will cost anything from R300 000.”

To cut costs, Yolanda uses offcuts from her clothing range to manufacture the dolls’ clothing and accessories. She used to make packaging for the toys frrom discarded cereal boxes which she painted in African prints but, although it w was environmentally friendly, it proved to be costly and time-consuming. “My biggest challenge was finding a packaging company to make the doll boxes. Because of the dolls’ afro hair, the packaging has specific dimensions. “I also want the packaging to have more than one use as I believe in sustainable products, so it would double up as a doll room or wall,” she says. “I pitched a packaging design idea to the printers, and they created the boxes. This means I saved on production time and cost.” Now her biggest challenge is the running expenses. “I employ eight women and a paraplegic gentleman. I believe in paying it forward – I work with the youth or people from disadvantaged backgrounds and mentor them so they’ll be able to stand alone in the future.” With the demand for her dolls growing, Yolanda has had to employ more staff and secure bigger premises to operate her business, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign to help with the costs and because it “allows people to support a great cause”. “Our goal is to have the dolls 100% manufactured in South Africa. I’ll be working with abused women and will train and teach them sewing and beading. “The idea is for them to be self-employed and become our suppliers for the clothing and accessories.” Yolanda still has a few things to iron out when it comes to growing her business, but she’s happy her childhood dream has become a reality. “It makes me happy to see the dolls appeal to all children,” she says. “I always say each child needs to have a black doll in their doll collection, regardless of the colour of their skin. This will teach kids respect and acceptance.” All children are unique, Yolanda says – and this is what her dolls are trying to show.

Yolanda is also a motivational speaker, a fashion designer, dancer and singer who’s worked with the likes of Bongo Maffin, Freshlyground and Malaika. After being in groups Coda and Tucan Tucan she went solo in 2009 and released her debut album, CrossOva, in 2011. Fashion design, however, remained one of her first loves. “My passion started when I was a toddler,” she told SABC3’s Expresso. “I used to dress anything that resembled a figure. I’ve always had a flair for stylish clothes, a sense of line, colour and form, and an eye for detail.” She wanted to study fashion design but her single mother couldn’t afford the tuition fees along with the textiles and tools of the trade she needed. So Yolanda studied marketing instead – a qualification that came in handy when she started her own fashion label, Y’awa Creations, a few years ago. This led to the doll business which, she says, is her greatest accomplishment yet.

GARAGE door in the heart of suburban Cape Town opens and a familiar voice says, “Hello, you guys.” It belongs to Riaan Garforth-Venter, the burly Mr Fix-It who became a household name in South Africa with his TV show, Die Nutsman (the handyman), in which he showed viewers how to do everything from mending a leaky tap to assembling cabinets. It’s been four years since YOU readers last had a catchup with Riaan. Back then he, his TV presenter wife, Michelle, and their son, Rainn, were only just beginning their new life in the USA (YOU, 10 December 2015). Now they’re all settled there – although coming to South Africa for visits remains one of the highlights of their lives. Michelle, who used to be a presenter on lifestyle programme Top Billing and conservation show Wild Unlimited, stayed behind at the family’s home in Atlanta, Georgia, Riaan says. She was in SA and Botswana recently, after mining corporation De Beers invited her to take part in a panel discussion on the overpopulation of elephants. So she couldn’t take more time off for the trip, Riaan says. “Plane tickets are expensive.” Riaan and his son are staying at the Cape Town home of his elder daughter, San-Mari (27), in Claremont. She and her Swedish fiancé, Jesper Nilsson (26), have renovated the old place into an ultramodern masterpiece and Riaan couldn’t be prouder. “The builders are still finishing up,” he tells us. “They packed up before Christmas but look here – San-Mari built this garage door after the old one fell on her head. My kids learnt something from me!” We take a seat in the back garden overlooking the pool, which has an electrically operated cover that can be opened and closed at the press of a button. Rainn (9) is holding French bulldog Tengil, chatting away in a strong American accent. “He’s completely lost his South African accent,” his dad says. Riaan (54) is looking good – the result, he says, of building 200 student homes in 17 months. “I did everything from uprooting trees to handing over the keys. I also walk a lot and I have stomach trouble so I can eat only small amounts of food.” 94 | 23 JANUARY 2020 you.co.za

Riaan “Nutsman” Garforth-Venter and his son, Rainn, are visiting South Africa from America. With them is French bulldog Tengil.

STILL HANDS-ON!

Former TV handyman Riaan tells YOU about his busy life in America and how much he loves coming home to SA BY PIETER VAN ZYL The Garforth-Venters live in the vibey Atlanta neighbourhood of Buckhead, where Rainn is in Grade 4. He’s a smart little guy who gets As in most of his subjects and he’s brought his schoolwork along with him as US schools aren’t on holiday. Dad and son will soon head to the his-

torical wine farm near Swellendam where they lived when Michelle was the marketing manager before they left for the USA. First though, there’s plenty to do in Cape Town. Riaan’s mom, Suzie Holthuizen (93), lives in the Mother City so they’ve been visiting her. They’ve also

been up Table Mountain and to the V&A Waterfront, and they’re planning a trip to Gansbaai to go shark-cave diving. “I’m not scared of anything,” Rainn says. His dad laughs. “This little guy picks up snakes – just like his mom.”

IAAN works for a waterproofing company in Atlanta. Michelle does the marketing, manages the social media accounts and directs TV ads for the business. The handyman also runs his own enterprise, The Tool Box, which has a large workshop offering space to young people and teaching them skills such as setbuilding, welding and carpentry. Riaan loves working with his hands as much as possible and has also built sets for large events for Google, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and large hotels. “The sets I’m building now are breathtakingly enormous,” Riaan says. “I build only unique things,” he adds. “I

don’t have a cookie-cutter approach. It allows my creativity to soar.” The family rent a three-bedroom townhouse in Buckhead – and they’re lucky to have found a place they could afford, Riaan says. Buying a home there is almost impossible – prices start at around $2 million (R29m) and soar up to $20m (R290m). Riaan got his green card (residence and work permit for the USA) in 2014 and within six months he and Michelle, who’s had US citizenship since working in America in 1998, had packed up and moved. Riaan and Rainn are US citizens too now – but Riaan’s ties to SA are strong. “I’d like to have a show on South African television again,” he says. “I enjoy teaching young people skills. The minister of education said more youngsters need to qualify in technical areas – it’s what the world will always need.” He still maintains contact with Max Thongani (44), his co-presenter of the popular Die Nutsman show, which ran from 2002 to 2015. Max is now a foreman for a company that provides painting services. Both Riaan’s daughters are in SA. SanMari and her fiancé met in Franschhoek while working there as chefs, and she’ll study interior decorating at a college in Woodstock, Cape Town, this year. Younger daughter Margot (24) is a social worker in Ceres in the Western Cape and is based at the local high school. She visited her dad, stepmom and halfbrother in Atlanta last year and Riaan hopes it will be the first of many trips. “I want to see my daughters at least once a year,” he says. Rainn loves coming to South Africa. “The burgers are much better here,” he tells us. And I love the outdoor lifestyle and being able to run around and play.” The boy had some trouble with a bully in the beginning of his US school career. you.co.za 23 JANUARY 2020

Rainn had been given a plant he was meant to keep alive for his Grade 1 year but the bully trampled it and he’d been “desperate and sad”, his dad says, until he’d been given a new one. “But we’re friends now,” Rainn says of his tormentor. “I heard his dad was mean to him and that’s why he did it.” Riaan and Rainn are enjoying having some father-son time in between the visits with family and friends. It’s always good to come back, Riaan says. “I miss the South African sense of humour, the lamb chops and the boerewors. I’m going to buy my own sausagemaker in Atlanta – sausage there really isn’t as tasty as it is here. I’m already making my own biltong.” And like everything else he makes, it’s bound to be pretty perfect. S

Michelle, Riaan and Rainn have been living in the USA for about four years.

UST a few months ago reality TV stars ROB KARDASHIAN and BLAC CHYNA swore they were committed to maintaining a good relationship so they could continue “co-parenting” their three-yearold daughter, DREAM. How quickly things change. The pair initially agreed to joint custody in September 2017 following the whirlwind romance and failed engagement documented in their short-lived reality TV show, Rob & Chyna. But just days into 2020, Rob ﬁled new legal papers seeking primary custody of Dream. According to the court documents, the 31-year-old model is almost always drunk and regularly parties hard in her house with the little girl present. Rob goes on to accuse the model, who also shares son King Cairo (7) with rapper Tyga (30), of snorting cocaine and making violent threats to people in her home. One alleged incident cited in the papers involved Chyna hurling sharp objects at her hairdresser. The 32-year-old sock designer claims his daughter’s hygiene isn’t up to standard and that he’s seen her act out sexual positions she said her mother had taught her. Rob’s sister, Khloé (35), reportedly made a statement in the ﬁling, stating that Dream has been “decidedly more aggressive” during playdates with her daughter, True (1), lately and says the little girl doesn’t want to go home to Chyna. Chyna has hit back at Rob’s claims, insisting she’s a good mother who’d never put her child in harm’s way.
