I WAS recently admitted to hospital for the first time. I’ve been relatively healthy so when my body broke, I was understandably nervous. But from the time I walked into the (private) hospital, everything was about me. And while I appreciated how seamless the experience was made, I thought of the man who bled out because the clinic he was rushed to in Limpopo allegedly didn’t have a first-aid kit. Then there’s the woman who watched her child fall out during labour and die afterwards. They deserve the same level of care and dedication we get simply because we are fortunate enough to have medical aid. I’m not sure if that’s what NHI plans, but if it is, I’d be all for it. FESTIVE SEASON SPENDING With the festive season…

SHE’S been vilified and has been labelled a ‘troublemaking diva’ by some. This after Vatiswa Ndara (49) spoke out about her experience in the entertainment industry. In a six-page open letter addressed to the Minister of Arts and Culture, Nathi Mthethwa, Vatiswa poured her heart out. It’s been a few weeks since  the uproar and she’s still shocked at how people have responded. In her letter, she tackled a variety of issues including unfair remuneration, sexual harassment of talent, their working conditions and what appears to be producers and broadcasters working according to their own rules. We catch up with the actress. WHY NOW? “I wanted the conversation to happen. However, one could not have anticipated the reaction – not only from the industry but from the public at large,”…

Busisiwe Malangwane, a registered counsellor with a degree in psychology and her own practice in Midrand, says: “As parents, we worry about our children’s safety and happiness, which is normal. It then frustrates us as parents when we try to guide or warn them of things and they think we are trying to ruin their happiness. My advice would be for you to sit your daughter down and make her see the red flags that are already there – this man physically abused his previous partner/lover to a point that he was put in prison, and he has unresolved anger issues. Ask your daughter questions such as, “If this man was able to beat his previous partner, what would stop him from beating you or, even worse, killing you?” Make…

Make the most of opportunities if your company pays for the training of its employees. Here’s how to go about it: ■ Speak to your HR department about the processes and procedures in place for employee courses and training. For example, does the company reward employees by paying for academic advancement? How does one apply for these bursaries? What kinds of courses are usually approved for funding? Check what percentage of the cost is usually covered. Is there a minimum requirement to apply? Also ask them to walk you through the normal application process. Speak to any of your colleagues who have completed an online course before and ask them to share their experience with you. ■ Research the course and modules. Make sure the due dates, screen time and…

CHANNELLING FUNDS Contributions should go into a single bank account. Funds being channelled to an individual or separate accounts should be a red flag. You should ask questions if you see that registration funds are going to one account and monthly contributions to another. Ask the person running the stokvel where your money will be invested and how the stokvel can prove to you that it is invested. Ask how you will be able to keep track of your contributions. Make sure that you will get a monthly statement and that the contribution structure is transparent so that you know where exactly your money is going. If you want your stokvel to be featured in Move!, send us your contact details and a picture of your stokvel members to: move@media24.com…

THEY’VE been married so long they finish each other’s sentences. After four decades together, veteran actor Jerry Mofokeng wa Makhetha and his wife, Claudine, are still absolutely smitten with each other. We catch up with the couple at our Auckland Park offices. Jerry (63) tucks into a fruit salad while Claudine (62) gets her makeup done but still, they banter with each other. He was 22 years old when he met her and marriage was the furthest thing from his mind because he was recovering from a broken heart. The girl he was in love with at the time had been sent to boarding school in the North West and Jerry learnt that she had run away with a teacher. “I was shattered,” Jerry tells us. “I went to God…

GROWING up she attended a boarding school and often spent her days acting, singing and dancing to escape the loneliness. Sphelele Mzimela didn’t for a minute think her high-school hobby would one day turn into her dream job. The actress, who shot to fame playing an innocent rural girl in Isibaya, is carving a successful career for herself in TV. The 26-year-old has now bagged a role as Zaza in Uzalo. “Finding out that I got the job was such an amazing and indescribable feeling,” Sphe tells Move!. “The character is very different to me but I love challenging myself.” THE REAL SPHE Sphe, who has a vibrant personality and infectious laugh, says she’s nothing like the characters she’s played. “When I was still on Isibaya I would be approached…

Q I STRUGGLE TO FIND THE PERFECT DRESS THAT FITS MY BIG BREASTS. ALL THE DRESSES OVEREXAGGERATE MY CHEST AS THEY’RE TOO TIGHT. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? A When shopping at retail stores, beware of the different sections such as teens, kids, ladies, etc. to ensure you are browsing in the correct section and buying the right size. However, buying clothes to fit your bust line can be challenging, but don’t despair. Here are tips to find your perfect fit. A well-fitting bra. Women with big busts should have a bra that cover their breasts without over-accentuating its size. The right neckline. V-neck dresses are the most flattering for fuller breasts but avoid deep-plunging V-necks. Emphasise your waist. Get a dress that highlights your waist and shapes your bust…

Q MY FEET ALWAYS GET DRY NO MATTER HOW MUCH I MOISTURISE THEM. CAN YOU RECOMMEND A PRODUCT? A It’s important to help your feet transition from season to season. The skin around your feet is tougher, which means that when it sheds it becomes drier than any other part of your body. You need to soak and exfoliate your feet thoroughly to remove all the dead skin. Then follow up with a super-hydrating foot mask or paraffin wax treatment. Lastly, use a foot cream, not just any cream, to maintain moisture.…

THERE is so much that has been said about love. No matter the books, movies, songs and art that have covered the subject, love still remains something mysterious. This is especially true when love and HIV are intertwined. Although there are exceptional cases, for many of us contracting HIV is related to loving and being loved. This is because experiencing love, or what we may have thought was love, was when we might have contracted HIV or passed the virus onto someone else. Love can be abeautiful thing. However, when we are blinded by love, the guards of logic can drop and lead to unprotected sex. Despite knowing their partner is positive, some people have unprotected intercourse. There are even those who are HIVpositive who urge their partners to prove…

Q I THINK MY NEIGHBOURS ARE SELLING DRUGS I think my neighbours are selling drugs from their house. They moved in a few months ago and now I see people coming in there at all times of the day. This includes late at night and we are often woken up in the early hours of the morning by their noise. I called the police who came out once but nothing has changed. I look after my two grandchildren during the day and this makes me worry for their safety. What can I do? ANONYMOUS, VIA EMAIL A You can go back to the police and follow up. But remember you are basing this on your suspicions, and although they might be a nuisance, you don’t know if your suspicions are…

CLITORAL STIMULATION Q My husband and I mostly have a good sex life. It’s just that I never orgasm during sex. I saw in one of your previous columns that clitoral stimulation is likely to get me there. How can my clitoris be stimulated during penetrative sex? ANONYMOUS, EMAIL A Women who struggle to orgasm with penetrative sex alone may do better with clitoral stimulation. Due to the clitoris’ location – not inside the vagina – it can’t be reached by the penis during penetration. The clitoris mainly responds to rubbing motions using one’s hand, a sex toy or your partner’s tongue. This now means you have to find innovative ways to give it attention. This can include oral sex or rubbing it using his penis, a sex toy or…

My husband of two years and I have grown cold towards each other. I don’t know what happened. We dated for three years and everything was just fine until we got married. He’s never cheated, nor is he abusive. We don’t have children, and I’m evaluating my situation to make sure I don’t get pregnant – not that we have sex that often. And when we do, it’s cold and dry. It seems we’re both in this marriage for reasons other than love, and I’m struggling. Shouldn’t love just grow like it did with our parents?…

CHANGING to a new cellphone contract can be intimidating. Here are six important points to note to take the hassle out of the task and to ensure that you choose a contract that best suits your needs. 1 FIGURE OUT YOUR MONTHLY USAGE HABITS You might have a large data plan but find you don’t use that much data. Or you have a lot of call time but end up having to buy expensive out-of-bundle data before the end of the month. Most networks have apps that show your usage patterns – for example, whether you use SMSes, WhatsApp or data most. If you regularly buy airtime or data through your bank, it will also show you how much you use in a month. Once you’ve established what your monthly…

PARENTING is one of the most life-defining challenges, especially for men. A lack of active parenting by fathers can create dysfunctional family units. I want to advocate for men to play an involved role in raising boys to become men of integrity. SOCIETAL CHALLENGES There is an ancient proverb that says, “All flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today.”We can’t expect a positive result for the future of children if we’re planting negative seeds. Growing up among four lovely sisters – and being the only boy – greatly influenced the way my late father raised me. My father’s presence shaped my character and my perception. I’m now a father to a 13-year-old boy and I find myself having to navigate and engage strongly in how I’m raising him.…

Don’t give out private information, such as your ID number, physical address and banking details to strangers. If you decide to meet, do so in a public place. Also, tell a friend where you are going and when you expect to be back. Don’t do anything that makes you uncomfortable. Always trust your instincts. Don’t assume that the person is who they say they are. It’s easy to pretend or provide false information over the phone or online. DISCLAIMER: Move! magazine will not be held responsible/liable for anything that may arise with regard to readers providing each other with personal information. We advise participants to protect themselves from any criminal intent/activity.…

Here at Move! we are big fans of stokvels. It is a great way to meet new people or bond with old friends. It is good for having networks and building communities who can supp p p ort us when we need it most. But most importantly, stokvels help us to improve our lives and achieve our goals. We would love to hear from you if you are part of a stokvel so you can feature in our stokvel pages (see page 6). We need to know more about your stokvel, how you formed, when you meet, what your rules are and more interesting facts about your club. We also need pictures of the stokvel, preferably in your uniform, if you have one. We would love to hear from you.…

IT’S a life of luxury – the latest fashion, on-fleek makeup and being showered with gifts by a man who will buy anything your heart desires. The life of a blessee may sound like heaven but as the saying goes, nothing for mahala. In exchange for living the high life, girls must bow down and do whatever their blesser wants them to. It’s a dangerous situation, Nyaniso Dzedze says. The actor knows what he’s talking about. Nyaniso plays the smooth and handsome young blesser in the e.tv soapie Rhythm City. His character, Gift, meets young and innocent Mapula and offers the varsity student everything she can ever dream of. Mapula has had a tough life and is easily lured into the lap of luxury. But she soon learns that everything…

HE GOT his major break when he performed alongside PJ Powers, Berita, Moozlie and Zoë Modiga at this year’s Moshito Street Festival in Joburg. Before that, Mbulelo Fata (27), known as Mbu-Soul, had been hustling to make a name for himself. He serenaded the audience so much at Moshito that he was approached by Canadian band Random Recipe to collaborate on a new untitled single. But it is his current radio track, Akekho, featuring HD and Halo Yagami and produced by Blaq Diamond member Ndu Browns that has audiences falling in love with him. Mbu-Soul tells Move! his music is made to “soothe people’s troubles away”. “I am a soul singer. I am inspired by Motown sounds infused with maskandi and trap,” he says. “All those sounds are about singing…

HER work founding and running an NGO called SciExplo accelerated her passion for coding and robotics. Now Ntombikayise Banda is teaching it to learners who could one day make acareer of it. “Growing up, many kids only knew of a few career choices. It’s only when getting to university when one realises there are a lot of choices,” Ntombikayise (34) says. Her NGO has gone to Ga-Rankuwa, Atteridgeville and Mamelodi offering introductory courses in science and technology to high school students. One of the topics they covered was robotics (the design and construction of robots and the algorithms that are used for control) and it was an instant hit. “Many learners wanted to own their own their robotics kit,” she says. At the time, she and her team were importing…

ANY OLD BANK A mother decides her young daughter should open her own bank account. “As it will be your account, I think you should complete the application form,” the mother says encouragingly. The daughter is doing really well but is puzzled when she comes to where it says: “Name of previous bank.” She ponders for a second and then writes: “Piggy Bank.” WOMEN’S LANGUAGE ■ Fine – this is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use “fine” to describe how a woman looks – this will cause you to have one of those arguments. ■ Five minutes – this is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes your soccer game is…

WHAT IS A SERUM? It’s a liquid or gel facial product in a tube or bottle. The difference between a serum and moisturiser is that serums contain active ingredients that get absorbed into the skin when applied. When active ingredients penetrate the skin, they fulfil a certain function. WHY SHOULD I USE IT? If you have specific skin concerns. For example, if you want to diminish the appearance of scars, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, rough skin and oily skin. Because the serum penetrates the skin, it works from the inside out so it’s more effective. The great thing about serums is that they last long because you only need a few drops. WHICH ONE IS BEST? This depends on what skin goals you have, or what problems you want to…

Q CAN IBE DISCIPLINED FOR A SOCIAL MEDIA POST? Are employers allowed to discipline an employee who used their social media page? They’re saying it had information that could bring the company into disrepute. ANONYMOUS, EMAIL A Companies are encouraged to have a social media policy that indicates the type of information that is not acceptable to post on social media, even if it’s the employee’s personal page. Employment relationships are about trust between the employer and employee and employees should always act in a manner that promotes the interest of the company. If an employee uses their social media page to post information that may harm the company name, the company has a right to take the employee to a disciplinary hearing. ‘HE’S NOW BROUGHT ANEW GIRLFRIEND TO LIVE…

A SEXUAL fantasy can be a long, complicated story or a quick mental flash of erotic imagery. “Whatever form it takes, it arouses your sexual feelings,” says Dr Susan Block, sex therapist and author of the book The 10 Commandments of Pleasure. FANTASY VS REAL LIFE Fantasies during sex heighten our sexual pleasure, says sex educator Emily Nagoski in the book The Good in Bed Guide to Female Orgasms. “When the physical sensations aren’t enough to get us where we want to go, the added juice of the fantasy heightens arousal.” But fantasies should never be confused with real life, says Dr Joy Davidson, psychotherapist and author of Your Sexual Fantasies: What Do They Really Mean? GUILTY PLEASURE Many women feel guilty about the things they fantasise about, especially if…

PROVERBS 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” My interpretation of trusting in the Lord and not on your own understanding is about being hopeful and trusting the process. It’s my favourite scripture because it’s a message of hope. It’s about believing in yourself and believing in something even if the situation seems hopeless.…
