Sommaire pour 7/30/2020 de Move!

WHEN we first started working on Move!, I was ecstatic. I couldn’t believe I would be part of the team that brings you your favourite magazine week after week. I’ve loved this magazine for a long time. I was at university the first time I read a Move! and it was amazing. The stories were relatable, the people could have been my very own family and neighbours. And for some reason, I never imagined that I’d one day be able to work here. I thought magazines were for some kind of elite journalists and editors, those who’d gone to model C schools and had friends in high places. And then one day, my name made it into this magazine, and it remains one of the best moments of my life.…

The Fair Ladies Social Club advise anyone looking to join a stokvel to check that the people who are in the club have the same goals in mind. They suggest getting to know the people before making any commitments to a group – investigate the group, chat to members, find out how long they’ve been going and how they operate. They say it would be unwise to put hard-earned money into something you’re not 100% sure of or if you don’t understand their saving goal.…

SHE plays a gorgeous and dangerous girl who hijacks cars for a living in Mzansi Magic’s Gomora. There’s no doubt Siphesihle Ndaba is making her mark on the hit show as Mazet, a fearless young woman who does whatever it takes to please crime boss Mam’ Sonto, played by the legendary Connie Chiume. A few months ago the young star was a student trying to break into showbiz, but these days she can’t go anywhere without people shouting Mazet. The 22-year-old tells us she didn’t imagine her debut role would be such a big hit. “I honestly thought people wouldn’t like Mazet as she’s a villain and tempts a young man into a life of crime,” Siphesihle says. “However, once you look deeper you realise there’s more to her than…

SHE was terrified when she lost her job. Like many businesses, the company Nokwanda Zondi worked for was battling to stay afloat due to the crushing impact of the corona-virus crisis. In April, she was retrenched and her only concern was keeping the wolf from the door. “When I heard I was going to be retrenched, I was gripped with fear of survival,” Nokwanda says. “I kept thinking, ‘Ngizophila ngani?’ (What will I survive on?). How will I make ends meet?’” BRIGHT IDEA South Africa’s economy had taken a pounding because of the pandemic and she worried finding a job during these uncertain times would be tough. Nokwanda, who last year completed her BTech in consumer science from the Durban University of Technology (DUT), had always loved cooking so she…

SHE’S manipulative, conniving and her family has just about had enough of her. But she isn’t going anywhere, no matter how much pushback she faces, especially from the family matriarch, who can’t stand her. Actress Linda Mtoba (28) has made a dramatic return to her role as Nomonde, the not-so-innocent daughter of Zweli Dikana, played by Hlomla Dandala, on The River. This comes after she took almost a year off TV to have to her baby. When she left, she’d been the much-loved Zama Ngwenya on Isibaya. Now she’s back and rattling cages on The River. “It was a transition I needed. I have been given the opportunity to grow with my characters. Zama was sweet and Nomonde is very manipulative and being given such a character, I am really…

RELATIONSHIP DRAMA ■ I’m lucky my wife and mother are very close. I realised just how close the time I drove my mother to her doctor, which my wife usually does. When the doctor came into the room, my own dear mother introduced me as her “daughter-in-law’s husband”. ■ My wife always prefers the stairs, whereas I always like to take the elevator. I guess we were raised differently. ■ After a long time, I told my hot co-worker how I felt. Turns out she felt the same way. So I turned on the air conditioning. ■ The couple’s therapist said, “So, tell me what brings you here today?” My wife said, “It’s really difficult to live with him. He’s so literal.” I said, “My truck.” ■ My wife won’t…

‘ALLOW YOURSELF TO RELAX AND BE VULNERABLE AROUND YOUR PARTNER’ Q AM I STILL A VIRGIN? I’ve been dating this guy and he recently put his finger in my vagina. I enjoyed it but I want to know – can a person lose their virginity from finger penetration from someone else? WORRIED, SMS A The hymen is a very thin membrane which partially closes the opening of the vagina. It becomes very elastic from the time a woman reaches puberty and can easily be broken. Some believe virginity ends when the hymen is broken. But a hymen can break when anything penetrates or disturbs it, causing it to tear. Research has shown that a woman’s hymen can even break during horse riding. But the presence or absence of the hymen…

MANY South Africans are finding that their financial situations are drastically different from what they were at the beginning of the year – and things could get even harder in the months to come. In times like these, we need to be extra careful about how we manage our finances. Here’s what you need to do to protect your cash flow and make sound decisions about money. 1 MAKE SENSE OF YOUR EXPENSES Inevitably, lockdown would’ve had an impact on your spending habits, as your social life has been limited. If you’re working from home, you’re probably spending far less on transport but more on groceries because your whole family is home 24/7. ■ Draw up a new, adjusted budget to suit your current situation. Budgeting apps such as 22seven…

AS a child, he was always intrigued by television. He couldn’t stop looking at the ‘magic box’ that was in almost every household and he loved spending hours in front of it. But he had no idea how it all came together. Actor Siyabonga Xaba (21) had his own theories on how people made it onto the small screen. “When I was like,five-years-old, I was trying to figure out how people got into the TV. So, I came up with this crazy idea that it was like Candid Camera and people lived with cameras in their lives,” he tells us. He thought there was a hidden camera always filming him, so he tried to keep his days lively, just in case. “I tried to make my life as interesting as…

“Life can seem very unfair when you know what you want but you need to depend on another person to fulfil that,” says Nomonde Precious Stamper, a social worker in private practice at Eyam Consultancy in Grahamstown. “Most women tend to draw their timeline – when to have kids, getting married, etc., and you may find yourself frustrated or being pressured by siblings moving out sooner than you, for example. “When it comes to finding a partner, we tend to be attracted to certain qualities and we may meet people with those exact qualities but it doesn’t guarantee they will be Mr Right. Mostly those qualities are led by flesh. They are material things. “When it comes to spending your life with someone, it should be emotionally and spiritually driven.…

I’ve always known my husband and I are very different people. He’s subdued, silent and an indoors kind of guy. I’m loud and enjoy socialising.

The lockdown period exposed how much we have become like strangers and I find myself lonely even though I’m with my life partner. How can I manage this loneliness in my marriage? FRUSTRATED…

Here’s how to benefit from the burdens that weigh you down. ■ External factors are beyond your control but your perception and the way you react are not. “While it may not be pleasant at the time, opportunities often arise through stress,” says health and performance educator Richard Sutton. “But it is about shifting the situation from chronic [longterm] stress that is debilitating, to acute stress that is episodic and liberating. The mind is very powerful. Use it.” ■ Reach out to those around you. Sutton says interpersonal interaction facilitates the release of the hormone oxytocin, which provides a buffer against adverse stresses. It lowers the heart rate, counteracts cortisol and boosts fearlessness. “If you want to use stress to your advantage, it’s important to stay well rested and well…

GOD trusted Mary and Joseph to raise Jesus as their child. He trusted them to take care of him, to teach him how to live in a challenging society. They taught him to be a carpenter and to be independent. They taught him to obey elders, to be humble, curious and kind. Luke 2:46 says, “After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.” PREPARE YOUR CHILDREN FOR LIFE’S DIFFICULTIES We are raised by parents who have some sort of belief about how you must live your life. I found it interesting to raise a child and take good care of them mentally and spiritually, based on what I believe as a parent. It says in Proverbs 22:6,…

LOCKDOWN has brought out many creative ways of entertaining. Like this new livestream dedicated to celebrating the progressive culture of sangomas. It’s called the Thokoza Gogo Lockdown Party, founded and produced by Yolanda Dandala, a young traditional healer from Gauteng. “I wanted to create a digital entertainment platform to shine a light on the talent traditional healers have,” Yolanda says. She says lockdown has deprived healers from gathering ceremonies of drumming and dance, so she introduced a new, modern culture of performance for healers that they can do from the comfort of their homes.…
