WHEN your child is growing up, you never know what their future holds. Which is why it’s vital to let them explore many sporting options before they settle on one. For example, Iplayed netball for one day in primary school. I fell so hard and was so bad at it that it wasn’t even an option for the future. But when I wanted to try out, no one said no. Netball player Bongi Msomi might not have been where she is today if someone hadn’t taken a chance on her. If her conservative parents had put their foot down, she might have never found out that she’s a star netball player. If she’d said no when she was picked to play for her high school team, today she wouldn’t be…

THE DIGITAL ADVANTAGE Meetings are an important part of the smooth running of the society, however meeting attendance becomes a challenge and absenteeism is high. Absalom saw the importance of taking advantage of technology by allowing members to use platforms like WhatsApp to conduct meetings and address important issues. “I realized that we had to move with the times,” he says. “Now we allow our members to join a meeting wherever they are.” Member premiums are also paid via debit order as the society runs strictly on a no-cash basis. “This decision was made to address the safety concerns with having members carrying large amounts of cash. By doing payments electronically via debit order, the society eliminated a lot of missed payments that resulted in lapsed policies. “At first, some…

Born in Mdantsane, East London, she started a movement called Sakha Isizwe Sangomso (“We are building tomorrow’s world”) in 2016. The name and concept comes from a dream she had about 20 years ago. “The movement is about the bond between a mother and a daughter,” she says. “We are trying to teach young girls to make informed decisions and to trust their parents more than their peers.” Thandiwe says they aim to raise an informed generation that knows the consequences of sexual intercourse without protection and to encourage young women to speak their minds.

SON & DAUGHTER Mrs Dlamini meets Mrs Mfanya for tea. “How’s your son?”Mrs Dlamini asks. “Oh, how he suffers,”Mrs Mfanya replies.“His wife doesn’t do any work around the house. She won’t cook him a decent meal. She can’t sew. All she does is laze in bed all day watching television and eating chocolates.” “How awful,”Mrs Dlamini says. “And how is your daughter?”Mrs Mfanya asks. “She’s doing wonderfully,”Mrs Dlamini replies. “She married this wonderful man. He won’t let her go in the kitchen. He does all the mending himself and insists that she relax in bed all day.” UNFAIR ADVANTAGE Little Sipho comes home from the playground with a bloody nose, a black eye and torn clothing. It is obvious he’d been in a bad fight and lost. While his father…

‘MY PENSION FUND WAS SUPPOSE TO BE R99 000 BUT I ONLY GOT R8100’ Q INVESTIGATION’S IMPACT ON DIVORCE I filed for divorce a month ago. I’m married in community of property. Now my husband is under investigation by his employer for crimes he allegedly committed. What will happen if he gets arrested? Will I still be entitled to his assets? And what about child maintenance money for our children? ANONYMOUS, SMS A If your husband is found guilty by a court of law, the court will likely order that the assets be attached. This is because you and him have one joint estate. If the assets are not attached, it means your husband will retain his 50% and you retain your 50%. If they are attached, you both lose…

IN my quest to find easier ways to share my faith with people I meet, I found that there are a few basics God wants everyone to know. Whether you believe or not, he wants you to know the following: HE KNOWS YOU God knows you not just by name, but also the number of hairs on your head. He knew you before you were born. There are 7,7 billion people in the world and the God of the universe knows you. We all want to know who we are. Many of us have taken personality tests and assessments but we believe them more than the God who created us. In your journey of “finding yourself”, try looking for the one who knows you and created you, who made you…

Here, she tells the story of the first time she was violated and how she wishes that she, as well as many other young women, could have better support to help them when they are hurt. HOW MY MOTHER FAILED ME At the age of 31, I questioned my sanity. I thought my mind was making things up when I remembered being raped by my mother’s boyfriend at the age of six. I remembered my own mother catching this monster in the act and beating me up – instead of protecting me and reporting the crime. I refused to believe even after I spoke to a…

Media personality Minnie Dlamini Jones recently gave singer Kelly Khumalo some much-needed advice about moving on. “Say hi with a smile and keep it moving. Life is too short to hold grudges but also you can’t make the same mistake twice [sic],” she told the singer in response to Kelly tweeting a crying emoji, saying she’d just seen someone she used to know. While she didn’t mention names, fans assumed she was referring to ex-fiancé Chad Da Don. Move! readers have their say. Life is too short. Live your life happily and freely. Grudges just hold back your happiness. ABUTI JEFF MAUTLWA If I break up with you, you are not “my” ex, you are nothing to me. I don’t greet and you do the same. You are extinct from…

TWO’S a company and three’s a crowd, it’s often said. But what happens when two women are in love with the same man and he’s interested in both? One of the saddest love triangles on TV.

Q MY EYEBROWS ARE FINE IN TEXTURE, SO IS IT NECESSARY TO TWEEZE OR SHAPE THEM FOR MAKEUP TO LOOK BETTER ON ME?

However, if you want to maintain the same natural shape then you don’t have to tweeze them, just fill them in and apply concealer underneath so that they pop.…

“I was diagnosed with HIV in 2012. I took my medication for four years then decided to stop taking ARVs in 2016. In 2019, I went to be tested and the results were HIV-negative. I took another test and it was also negative. Could I actually be HIVnegative? ANONYMOUS DURING your intake of ARVs from 2012 to 2016, you were able to manage it effectively. However, this doesn’t mean it was cured. Chances are it’s dormant (inactive). The danger here is that it’s mutating (changing) since it’s not contained by medication. Soon, it will emerge – only more severe and resistant to ARVs. This will put your life at risk as it won’t respond to normal ARVs. You will need more intensive ARVs, Line 2. And there’s no guarantee that…

Busisiwe Malangwane, a registered counsellor with a degree in psychology and her own practice in Midrand says: “Your friend does not seem to respect your relationship with your partner. She also doesn’t seem to care about your feelings. You have already informed your friend about her flirty behaviour towards your man but she still continues either way. It goes to show just how much she doesn't consider your happiness and feelings. You have mentioned that your friend flirts with many men. I suggest you then ask yourself that, should things not work out with your current man, what would stop her from flirting with the next boyfriend you might meet in future? My advice is that if you still value your friendship with her, then you have to set boundaries…

SHE describes herself as the fulfilment of her ancestors’ wildest dreams. After 10 years of working behind the microphone on Ukhozi FM as a DJ, she’s now making a name for herself on TV. Sthandwa Nzuza (35) has always loved television, she tells Move!. She’s had roles on SABC1’s Uzalo as Innocentia and Mzansi Magic’s eHostela as Friendship.

I studied drama at the Durban University of Technology so I can…

HER life of working 9-to-5, then rushing to evening classes and assignments has taken a backseat.

WHY DO CHEAP EARRINGS HURT MY EARS, AND HOW CAN I FIX THE PROBLEM? Sometimes the metal used in making costume jewellery (including inexpensive earrings) can trigger skin irritation and a few other health problems. This is because of the mixture of metals used, called alloys. The characteristics of some of these alloys can irritate your skin. However, there’s a fix for all this: petroleum jelly-based products! To ease the irritation, apply a thin layer of the petroleum jelly on to the earring studs and clasps, or wherever there is contact with your skin, and massage your ear lobes with another layer of jelly just before you wear the jewellery. And voila! No more inexpensive jewellery problems, ladies!…

‘HOW DO I TELL MY KIDS THAT I’VE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER?’ Q IS HE USING ME FOR MY MONEY? I’ve been dating a guy who earns a lot less money than I do.

YOUR kids learn a lot about money by observing your financial habits. If you’re responsible, chances are they will be too. We asked experts for tips on how to teach children about money at different stages of their lives. PRESCHOOLERS ■ Children can be taught about money from as young as the age of four, says Casey Rousseau of 1st for Women. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy to teach little kids the value of money when paying with plastic cards, so let your child hand cash to the cashier at the supermarket – it shows that money is exchanged for goods. It also teaches them that you’re left with less money each time you buy something. ■ Introduce young children to the world of finance by giving them a piggy…
