LIVING IN FEAR I’m scared of going to public restrooms by myself. I’m scared of being left alone in the house with my male relatives. I’m scared of going for a jog because on the way, I might come across a man who feels entitled to my body. I’m scared of asking for directions when I’m lost. I’m scared of my religious leaders and police officers. My husband is great, caring and loving, but is he the same man around other women out there? Are they scared of him? Does he make them feel safe when they walk past, or does he make them feel uncomfortable? ‘WHAT’S WORSE – I’M SCARED OF WOMEN TOO!’ I’m scared to let my daughter out of the gate to play with my neighbours’ kids.…

SHE was first introduced to South Africans when she was crowned Miss SA Teen a few years ago. She then moved out of the public eye for a bit – but now she’s back and making waves, playing feisty human rights lawyer Bulelwa Jafta on Generations: The Legacy. Celeste Khumalo (27) describes herself as a woman who’s still finding her voice, making her mark while navigating through life with faith. THE CALL THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING She’s been on Generations: The Legacy for a few months now and says it still feels surreal. “It was exciting getting a call from Generations, even more so when I found out it was a lead role. Wow! Working almost every day is important as an actor because constant work means you get better.” Learning…

HE CAN melt even the hardest of hearts. Every time he appears in Scandal!, viewers can’t help but gush over him. Litlhonolofatso Litlhakanyane (10) might be a fan favourite, but the acting gig is just a means to an end for the actor who plays Tibi. What Litlhonolofatso really wants to do is to grow up and be a lawyer who has multiple companies, each making R15 million per year, he says. When he makes that much money, he says, he promises to give his mother, Palesa Litlhakanyane, a monthly allowance of R25 000. We catch up with the Grade 5 pupil between scenes at the Scandal!’ studio in Johannesburg. He’s watching wrestling on TV when the Move! team arrive. He might be a busy actor, but he’s excited that…

THINK cellphones and your mind automatically jumps to big-name brands such as Huawei, Samsung and Apple. But local entrepreneur Lebogang Mokubela is aiming to change this perception and show South Africans that local is lekker. With its big screen, glossy body and minimalist design the new Libra smartphone can proudly hold its own alongside handsets made by its rivals. But, what sets it apart is that it was conceived and designed in Soshanguve near Pretoria. Sure, there are other proudly SA phones, like the Mara handsets that are made in Durban, but the Libra is being branded as the first township-based smartphone brand. IT’S IN THE DETAIL Boasting 128GB on-board storage; a six-inch screen; 10 megapixel rear camera; 4MB RAM; dual SIM biometric fingerprint authentication; and 2,6GHz Deco Core Processor,…

SHE’D always been resourceful. Growing up in Gugulethu, Cape Town, she didn’t like to play with dolls because she couldn’t relate to the fair-skinned blonde-haired variety found in toy stores. So she set about scouring flea markets in search of second-hand dolls to experiment on. “I tried to re-colour a Barbie doll brown, but I didn’t like the result,” Yolanda Yawa-Donkers says. Today the 42-year-old is the proud owner of Luvuthando Dolls, a black doll brand that promotes diversity and aims to instil confidence in little boys and girls. “I am passionate about the black child and wanted to create a product that will be fun and inspiring,” she tells Move!. THE BEGINNING She made her first doll collection, which celebrates African beauty, in the images of her children, Luvuyo…

Round Shape When you look straight ahead the whites of your eyes are visible below your irises.

She’s become something of a poster child for conceiving despite living with endometriosis. American actress Tia Mowry (41) kicked off the New Year sharing a photo of herself with her two children – son Cree (8) and daughter Cairo (1) – with the hashtag #My happy place. In an interview with O Magazine, she spoke about her life with the condition. “I’d been experiencing extreme pelvic pain for years and went to several doctors. “Each one would brush me off. ‘Those are just really bad cramps, some women get them more severely’, one told me. ‘Just put heat on it’, one suggested. Another doctor simply said, ‘Get on the treadmill – working out helps’. “I ended up needing to have multiple surgeries because my symptoms got so bad. I will…

WHEN we hear stories of women being turned away at clinics, there’s always the initial reaction of shock. Then we move on to outrage and before long, we’ve moved on to the next big story, hoping that’s the last time we hear about a woman being forced to give birth on the side of the road. Ntombenhle Mthethwa felt labour pains in a taxi and was driven to the closest clinic. But she was allegedly turned away and forced to give birth in the taxi. This scared, first-time mom worried that the experience would kill both her and her baby. Luckily, she had a kind taxi driver who caught the baby and then drove them to the nearest hospital. While her story had a happy ending, many don’t. While the…

They must be aware of their financial standing and ensure that it does not get in the way of meeting their monthly obligation to the stokvel. A club should have rules and regulations which help the club work smoothly.

SHE has a fiery temper. Wild, friendly and a ride-or-die friend, The Queen’s Shaqeesha, or Shaq, has quickly added some extra spice to the show. And Nambitha Ben-Mazwi (31) loves bringing the African-American girl from New York to life. She’s come a long way from playing 16-year-old Tswana-speaking Bontle Lesolle in Grassroots and a defence attorney in Diamond City. SASSY SHAQ She got the job a day after auditioning, Nambitha shares. She’s since made herself comfortable in Jerry Maake’s (played by Shona Ferguson) home. Shaq has no sense of belonging, Nambitha says, so she latches on to anything that feels like family. “She’s low-key obsessed with Amo [Natasha Thahane], basically anyone she has a connection to. She has a lot of baggage with a troubling past.” Playing Shaq has allowed…

A POWERFUL right hook slams into the punching bag, followed swiftly by a left hook. The bag takes a beating, and sweat pours off the brow of boxer Adesanya “Tony Torch” Adebayo as he shifts and moves around it, delivering a flurry of jabs, then uppercuts that would certainly destroy any opponent. Adesanya’s training routine would be a familiar sight in any gym offering boxing training, and while his movements personify Muhammad Ali’s famous quote, “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee,” this boxer’s movements are with the aid of his wheelchair, rather than his footwork. KEEPING ACTIVE The Nigerian-born athlete has spent most of his life in a wheelchair, but he firmly believes nothing is impossible, and no dreams are too big to achieve. He tells Move! that…

“Depression is more common than we imagine and what you describe indicates a need for intervention,” says Noxolo Khoza, a Joburg-based psychologist. “I hope that you have come to terms with your diagnosis and that you have educated yourself about depression. I also hope those around you have a decent understanding of your condition in order to provide effective support. “Your desire to keep it to yourself is understandable. However, it might affect how well you cope in the long run in your social circle. It appears that you may be a little unwilling to engage, which is consistent with your diagnosis, whether with your seemingly happier colleagues or with your ‘mean’ boss. Seeing happy people when you feel the opposite can be unpleasant. “Have you thought about small coping…

FOR years, Joyous Celebration was her home as a singer. The gospel choir was where she was comfortable, happy and reached audiences across the country and the world. But Puleng March’s fans kept telling her that she had what it takes to make it on her own. In 2018, after seven years with Joy ous Celebration, she took the leap and released the single Ke Maketse Fela. She went solo despite not being sure if things would work out. “Joyous Celebration is like an institution – you come in and learn and build yourself. They encourage us to take what we learn and go out there.” In the end, she says she decided to put all her trust in God. “He brought me to Joyous and now carries me as…

We wanted to know who’s your favourite Mzansi leading lady on TV. Move! readers have their say. Skeem Saam’s Rachel Kunutu (played by Lesego Marakalla). She’s a fighter; she fights for what she wants and no one, including her mom, can stand in her way. She’s a go-getter and a risk-taker. That’s what I adore about her. PATTY NYANDU Connie Ferguson is the master mafia. She’s in her own league. Don’t even try to compare her. NANDI SELEPE My fave leading lady is Rachel. She’s such an underdog. I stan.

SHE describes herself as a shy woman who just happens to enjoy talking. In e.tv’s Scandal! she plays a dramatic, unfiltered character who’s always up to no good – five days a week! But at home, actress Mapaseka Koetle-Nyokong (30) definitely is a bit on the shy side. She’s had a busy five years in the spotlight – she’s been a regular on Scandal!, got involved in the food business, married and had a child, yet she’s still the same down-to-earth woman she was when she first entered the TV industry.

IT’S one of the creepiest shows on TV screens right now. It has everything from death to witchcraft and a fight for the throne. And actor Lesley Musina says it’s just the beginning for Omen, a new drama on Mzansi Magic. He’s back doing what he loves the most, acting, after taking time out to host SABC2’s Speak Out. LEADING MAN Growing up in Musina, Limpopo, he used his grandmother’s radio to record himself. “I would take what we called ‘wireless’ and use a cassette to record myself. I would mimic some of my favourite people I saw on TV or heard on radio.” Lesley says this is the time he had an idea of what he wanted to do with his life. He admits it feels really good to…

‘EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT ABOUT US, THEY ARE TELLING OUR STORY’ THEIR new show has been lauded for making people believe in love and marriage again. It shows couples how to effectively deal with inevitable challenges and how to grow as a team. It’s the content they’ve been waiting for, fans say.

Boxing is not a Paralympic sport despite its growing popularity. It needs to meet certain criteria, says the International Paralympic Committee (IPC).“They [disabled boxing organisations] need to give us a clear plan of how they’re going to take the sport forward. It must be practiced in at least 32 countries on four continents before it can be considered,”the IPC’s Craig Spence told the BBC. Colin Wood, founder of the UKbased Adaptive Boxing Organization, says his organisation is“in talks with 18 countries which are interested. Our ambitions for the Paralympics won’t happen until 2024 at the earliest”.…

Q HOW CAN I WEAR SHORTS TO WORK AND LOOK PROFESSIONAL? A Wearing shorts to work is not a problem at all, as long as you pick a longer-length cut – one that ends right at (or at most 2cm above) the knees. Our recommendation is to wear darker colours – they are so much easier to style with your outfit. Keep those bright colours for the picnic or braai party. When buying shorts for work, look for ones that have clean sewing lines. Also opt for chic extras, like pleated or fob pocket details, and high-waisted ones that look classier than low cuts.…

THE holiday season has come and gone. I trust you all had a wonderful break full of festivity and that you spent quality time with your loved ones. But now you may feel that your energy levels are down, you may feel bloated or perhaps you gained unwanted weight or developed some complications due to overindulging and the break from routine. Both happy and sad times tend to make us lose our grip on our obligations. Know that just as much as we have the potential to cause ourselves harm, we are also capable of making amends. It starts with acknowledging our mistakes, owning up to them and coming up with a good strategy for getting ourselves back on track. ‘OUR BODIES HAVE A NATURAL WAY OF GETTING RID OF…

I’ve been seeing my man for three years and we live together. We don’t have a child together but he has been nagging that he wants one. However, it recently came to light that he has a one-year-old child. What makes me furious is that he cheated, and he is only coming clean because he has no choice. I am trying to forgive him, but I’m having a tough time looking past this. A part of me says if he has done it once, he will do it again. How do I move on from this – a man I trusted with my life, cheating and impregnating another woman and keeping quiet for so long? He claims he was scared to tell me and I suspect he was not going…

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? A man scolds his son for being unruly and the child rebels against his father. He gets some of his clothes, his teddy bear and his piggy bank and proudly announces, “I’m running away from home!” The father calmly decides to make his son look at the matter logically. “What if you get hungry?” he asks. “Then I’ll come home and eat,” the child declares bravely. “And what if you run out of money?” “I will come home and get some!” his son replies. The father then makes a final attempt, “What if your clothes get dirty?” “Then I’ll come home and let Mommy wash them,” is the reply. The man shakes his head and exclaims, “This kid isn’t running away from home, he’s going off to…
