Sommaire pour 6/18/2020 de Move!

THE country has just moved to level 3 of lockdown. Many South Africans have gone back to their jobs, some have sent their children back to school and life is going back to normal – except it isn’t. We are still in the midst of a pandemic, and the numbers are scary. When the president said it is now up to us, he was calling on all South Africans to take charge of their health. We can’t let our guards down. Just because the economy is open, it does not mean it’s now a free-for-all. Now is the time to take responsibility. Keep making sure you don’t go outside unnecessarily, that you observe the rules when you go back to church and only shop when you need to. It is…

SHE’S gone international: her new Netflix series is No.1 in many countries and her name is now on everyone’s lips. But she’s not new to the spotlight. Amamkele Qamata shot to fame when Gomora hit local TV screens a few months ago. She’s always loved attention, she tells us. Because when most girls her age were happy to play dress up with their dolls, she enjoyed playing dress up onstage. As a child, Ama loved the spotlight and when she received astanding ovation as Snow White in a school play, she knew she wanted to be a star. Not too long ago very few people had heard of her but since Gomora took the country by storm, the actress has become the talk of the town. Ama, who plays Buhle…

NESTLED in the creative hub of Maboneng in downtown Johannesburg, it’s no surprise he’s inspired by culture. Xhosa trap musician Sinethemba “Snymaan” Bibi recently released his first single since signing with Ambitiouz Entertainment. “When I’m writing I do prefer to be in my own space. I like to write then play the song out to myself.” The new track, Umvulo, is part of his own genre of music, qabanation, which is about being true to yourself. The single is all about starting something new. “Just like Monday is the start of a new week, so Umvulo signifies the chance to start afresh, the anticipation of knowing that something great is coming and that even though things might seem difficult, one should have the courage to keep going through all the…

‘YOUR NEED TO MASTURBATE SHOULDN’T INTERFERE WITH EVERYDAY TASKS’ Dr Babalwa Funda kaMabhoza is an educational sexologist and businesswoman. She is a member of the Southern African Sexual Health Association (Sasha) and African Society for Sexual Medicine (ASSM). Q FEMALE-CONDOM FEAR I read about the female condom in your magazine. I’m considering getting one since my boyfriend doesn’t want to use a condom. I’m a bit nervous about using it but I want to have protected sex. STAYING SAFE, EMAIL A A female condom is inserted into the vagina before sex.

■ “An authoritative parenting style that’s warm and supportive but sets consistent limits in a loving way is proved to be beneficial in instilling resilience,” says Jodi Lord, a Cape Town counsellor specialising in play therapy. ■ If you hear your child say something negative about themselves or their abilities, switch their comment to a positive one. They might say, “I can’t do this!” Counter with, “You mean you can’t do it yet. That’s okay – you’re still figuring it out.” ■ Help kids – especially teens – to keep things in perspective and understand that negative experiences are simply part of life and don’t mean everything is negative, says Claire Kingwill, an educational psychologist from Cape Town.…

IT’S easy to become depressed about things happening in the world today, especially with the outbreak of Covid-19 and the economic pressure it has brought. But always remember that there is no situation that lasts forever. Every problem has its expiry date written with invisible ink. Ask God to help you not to make ill-informed decisions due to these pressures that life’s challenges bring. POVERTY & SIN Many decisions taken under the pressure of poverty bring undesirable consequences. In Genesis 27, Esau sells his birthright to his brother for a stew. In Genesis 12:10, Esau’s grandfather, Abraham, almost sold his wife because of famine in the land. Poverty can push you to sell your birthright and what belongs to you if you are not grounded in the Word of the…

WHILE salons in South Africa remain closed to curb the spread of the killer coronavirus, people have been tearing their hair out wondering what to do with their crowns. Some have taken matters into their own hands, trimming their relaxed ends, braiding their hair or shaving it off completely. In Kenya, where salons can operate under strict conditions, hairdresser Sharon Refa has erected a makeshift shop beside a busy road in the township of Kibera, Nairobi. Sharon’s salon recently came under the spotlight when she started braiding children’s hair in a ’do dubbed the coronavirus hairstyle. The hairdo has taken the country by storm because of its similarity to the Covid-19’s crown of club-shaped spikes. The coronavirus has killed more than 50 people in the east African country with more…

SHE whirls into the principal’s office in expensive heels, ready to mow down anyone who stands in her way.

‘WHEN A PERSON DIES, THEIR DEBT STILL NEEDS TO BE PAID’ Q ACCESS TO FAMILY HOME DENIED My parents were married in community of property. My mother passed away and now my father is living with my stepmom in the house. She is denying us access to the home. They were married in a traditional ceremony. What can we do about it? ANONYMOUS, EMAIL A Firstly, it must be determined who the owner of the house is. If the house belonged to your parents and your father inherited it upon the death of your mother, your stepmother acquired 50% ownership of the house when they married. This is by virtue of being in a customary marriage, which is automatically in community of property. As owners of the house, they have…

GEMINI 21 MAY –20 JUN Mercury is going retrograde this week, which could have bearing on different aspects of your life.

Power couple and co-authors Mo and Phindi Grootboom advise a woman who has a very different sex drive to her husband. My husband and I have been married for 13 years and we have three kids. The biggest problem in our relationship is how different our sex drives are. If it were up to him, we would have sex twice a day. I’m fine with once every month or two months. During lockdown, we have sex more often but he gets frustrated when I’m not excited about doing it and I feel like we do it too much! Is there a middle ground? I’ve been sceptical about scheduling sex, but is this a strategy you recommend? WIFE…

The term“growth mindset”was coined by Carol Dweck, aprofessor of psychology at Stanford University in the US, after she became interested in students’attitudes about failure. In one of her many studies, Dweck offered four-year-olds a choice of either redoing an easy puzzle or trying a different, challenging one. Most children with fixed mindsets (a belief that character, intelligence and creative ability can’t be changed) chose the easy puzzle to affirm their abilities. Those with growth mindsets (the belief you can get the desired result with the right attitude, strategy and practise) chose the challenge of something new. Here are examples of how the internal dialogue differs between a fixed and agrowth mindset. Fixed mindset When I fail, I’m no good. Growth mindset When I fail, I learn. Fixed mindset I compare…

GET ME OUT OF HERE! A worker at a package-processing centre is trapped in a toilet stall that has a faulty lock. When he’s finally found, two other workers manage to open the door with some difficulty. The lock is still jammed, so they keep the door open with a doorstop while a maintenance worker is called. A bit later, one of the workers notices the door is closed again. He jiggles the doorknob and a voice from inside calls, “Get me out!” “Don’t worry,” the worker replies, “maintenance should be sending somebody soon.” “They did,” the voice replies. “I am the maintenance!” SWEET POTATOES Every morning during their coffee break, a group of office workers listen to the culinary disasters of a newlywed colleague.

I WAS abandoned by my paternal family. I was kicked out of the house – not for anything I did, but for the personal vendettas held against my mother. It still felt like it was my fault. How do I explain this without wishing to have been birthed to another family? DEPTHS OF DESPAIR I’d cry myself to sleep wondering if I’d be in a different situation if I had parents who were stable. I had to answer people’s questions:“Where do you stay now?” or “Why don’t you go back home?” When you go through major setbacks and everything feels like it’s tumbling down on you, it’s easy to slip into depression, and that’s what happened to me. I faced devastating emotional abuse which resulted in depression and anxiety. I…
