Sommaire pour 11/13/2019 de Move!

SOCIAL media is a powerful tool. We’ve seen people get jobs through social-media posts, and ordinary people turned into overnight celebrities, just from one tweet. People have been reunited with loved ones and the destitute have had their school fees paid for by strangers they’ve met through social media. People have lost jobs because of what they post on Facebook. Thousands of people have been united or torn apart by online posts. With one click, lives can change. Something Sophie Lichaba (page 11) knows very well. Someone took the time to start a rumour that she’d died, which had disastrous consequences for her and her loved ones. Before you post, think: is it kind? Is it true? What you post today, could haunt you forever. So post responsibly, always. THANK…

START A STOKVEL WITH PEOPLE YOU CAN TRUST The key to any successful stokvel is trusting the members in your group from the get-go. Along with creating a disciplined savings habit, stokvels have a great social element where members meet to share stories, ideas and have social events to get to know each other. Getting together as regularly as possible makes it easy to get to know or to keep up with the lives of the people in your stokvel as well as where and how you can get hold of them and their families in times of need. 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…

SHE’S never shied away from any topic. Whether it’s industry woes, sex or life in the spotlight – nothing has ever been off limits for her. Now she’s taken all that and put it in her debut novel, Siren, which was recently released. It’s all about drugs, lies and deception, Kuli Roberts tells Move!. It’s not just a rags-to-riches story, it’s also an erotic novel, she adds. Kuli (46) says her new book is an honest account of the dark and not so glamorous part of the entertainment industry, which she’s been a part of for 25 years. LIFE IMITATING ART Although the characters in her novel are fictitious, she knows many women who have gone through what Zinhle, the main character, has gone through. “It’s a story about a…

HE’S been described as a try-scoring machine on par with Bryan Habana, and dubbed “a natural-born predator” by former Springbok wing, Breyton Paulse. His rags-to-the-World-Cup story has inspired fans all over the world, especially after his contribution in the early days of the tournament, which helped the Springboks to the final. It all started when the 29-year-old winger scored two tries in South Africa’s 57-3 thrashing of Namibia in Japan, the Boks’ second game of the tournament. The mighty Mapimpi scored five tries in four matches at the World Cup before the Springboks made it to the semis. The five-try haul followed a hat-trick he scored in a pre-World Cup game against the Japanese – three sizzling tries that helped the Boks to a 41-7 victory over the team that…

JUST a glance at the symptoms of common STIs (sexually transmitted infections) is enough to make anyone rush out and buy condoms in bulk. They’re uncomfortable, painful and if you have unprotected oral, vaginal or anal sex, easily spread to others. STIs can be life-threatening, and passed from mother to child during pregnancy and at birth. Here are some of the common STIs, aside from HIV. GENITAL HERPES Symptoms: Itchiness around your genitals followed by small blisters that ooze puss or blood, accompanied by fever and headaches. Symptoms often appear a few weeks after infection. Treatment: Antiviral medication prescribed by a doctor. Ingrown hairs and pimples can be mistaken for herpes. A doctor can confirm by doing a blood test or swabbing a sore and testing it. GENITAL WARTS Symptoms:…

DEUTERONOMY 1:6, “The Lord our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, ye have dwelt long enough in this mount.” Israel had been delivered out of Egypt. They had been camped out at Mount Horeb for about a year. However, this was not the Promised Land. Now it was time to move on. WHAT IS MOUNT HOREB? Horeb is thought to mean heat, which seems to be a reference to the sun. Being in the sun can be a good thing as it provides light and heat. But there is danger in staying in the heat of the sun for too long. This is why God instructed the Israelites to move from Horeb. CREATURES OF COMFORT Most of us have been in places where we are comfortable and warm. This…

‘I WANT PEOPLE TO GET TO KNOW WHO DOT IS’ SHE describes herself as fun and vibrant and that’s exactly what comes across in her songs, Volcano and Amadlozi. The Kwazulu-Natal-born Nomcebo Mthethwa (25), stage name DOT, was just playing around in the studio when she came up with two gqom hits. But she says she doesn’t want to be known for gqom alone. “ I love gqom but what I really want to branch into is RnB,” she says. GIVING IT HER ALL She’s currently juggling a career in music with studies. She’s in the second year of a Bachelor of Arts in Film and Media Studies at the University of Kwa Zulu-Natal and it takes a lot of sacrifice to make it work. “It’s a lot of work…

THE remote village of Komkhulu in the Eastern Cape is the picture of serenity. This little community is nestled amid rolling green hills. The Tsitsana River, which separates the village from the nearest town, Mount Fletcher, completes the picturesque image. But its tranquil appearance is deceptive. It’s claimed at least 10 lives in recent years. After years of waiting for local authorities to act, while villagers risked their lives daily crossing the river, one pensioner decided enough was enough. A bridge would be built, even if he had to do it himself – and that’s just what he did. Neo Lebatla (72) grew up in Komkhulu and retired there last year, after decades working deep under the earth in the mines in Gauteng. “When I was working at the mines…

THE PUNS ■ Two antennas meet on a roof, fall in love and get married. The ceremony isn’t much, but the reception is excellent. ■ Two peanuts walked into a bar, and one was a salted. ■ A man walks into a bar with a slab of tar under his arm and says: “One beer for me and one for the road.” ■ Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says: “Does this taste funny to you?” ■ Two cows are standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, “I was artificially inseminated this morning.” “Really?” Dolly asks. “It’s true, no bull!” Daisy exclaims. ■ An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids are nothing to look at either. ■ I went to buy some…

I KNOW how you feel. You are confused – they insist that you take these tablets every day. There are many questions you want to ask. At school, your friends may tease you about the way you look. They may mock you for having the virus. Inside you, there is anger, pain and confusion. At times, you hate yourself and feel you were let down by your parents.

SCORPIO 23 OCT –21 NOV Mars moves into your sign this week, which should boost your energy levels and your drive. So if you want to make headway with a challenging job, hard project or compete in a physical sport, your passion should be charged and spirit strong.

Busisiwe Malangwane, a registered counsellor with a degree in psychology and her own practice in Midrand says: “I am sorry you had to go through so much hurt and pain at such a young age. Ibelieve you have been neglecting yourself and putting other people’s feelings ahead of your own for a very long time. You now need to put yourself and your wellbeing first. Your mother has never been in your shoes and therefore does not understand the hurt and trauma you’ve had to go through all these years. I believe that is why she brushed your problem off. I suggest you seek professional help, such as a social worker who can guide you or an organisation for abused women, to help you deal with the childhood trauma you’ve…

DO YOU often feel tired, light-headed and irritable – especially on blistering hot days? The answer to your woes could be as simple as increasing your water intake. These symptoms, along with  frequent headaches, dry skin and constipation could be aresult of constant dehydration. Here are 10 of the top reasons why we should be drinking enough water daily, plus tips on how to make sure that we do. 1 IT’S VITAL Our bodies are made up of about 60% water. Every day we lose some of it through sweat, urine and even just breathing. If we don’t regularly replenish what is lost, our body doesn’t have enough water to maintain certain functions and tries to tell us via messages of thirst, headaches and fatigue. Water also plays a vital…

Power couple and co-authors Mo and Phindi advise a woman who is confused about consent in her relationship with her boyfriend. I consider myself very giving when it comes to sex with my man. I very seldom hold back when he wants some. We go out a lot together and drink as a couple. However, recently I find myself asking questions about whether or not he's raped me. For instance, after a night out drinking I often find myself wet in the morning. I don’t remember us having sex, even though my vagina feels like we did. Recently, on two occasions he forced himself on me when I truly was not in the mood for sex. He keeps saying if I don’t have sex with him, he’ll be tempted to…

If you’ve circled mainly RED, you’re the peacemaker You’re a natural diplomat who can see two sides to every story and come up with a compromise. You’re the one who’s most likely to intervene during conflict. You’re seen as a wise soul and your siblings often come to you with their problems. Peacemakers are often middle children, or the oldest sibling who grew up with bickering younger ones. Your natural diplomacy means you’re comfortable socially and you are a good team player. How it holds you back You’re inclined to put yourself last and neglect your needs, so your wellbeing can become compromised. You can end up feeling resentful and tired, especially during conflict, and you’re prone to anxiety. Losing the label Being compassionate doesn’t have to mean being a…

IMAGINE it – you’re on the couch with your husband, watching movies. You pause for a quick snack break and log onto social media. There, you find out that you’re trending. Why? Because apparently, you have died! And the rumours have already caused a stir within your close circle of family and friends. MALICIOUS Actress Sophie Lichaba says she thinks the people who started those malicious rumours about her are bored and don’t realise how hurtful they are. “I’ve spoken in public about the fact that I have diabetes. Both my parents had it and I never thought I would get it. But this is now my reality. I was sick, and I lost weight. Yet every day I thank God that I’m alive to see another day. I live…

SHE has always enjoyed and excelled at science and she’s determined to use that to make a positive difference in the world. The first thing she decided to tackle was chalk dust after spending years in a classroom, breathing in dust from chalk, watching it settle around the class and seeing it cause her classmates with chest issues to cough. So she made it a personal project. Maluta Gcabashe (13) from Chesterville, Durban, created edible low-dust chalk. The Grade 7 learner and her friend, Azile Machi (12), are not just class prefects but the cream of the crop at their school. FINDING INSPIRATION Maluta used her passion and knowledge of science to create the chalk, which comes in a variety of colours. “I became aware that the chalk I created…

This year, three of my friends have got pregnant – and so easily.

■ How much water should you drink per day? Cape Town-based lifestyle expert Lisa Raleigh recommends one glass (250ml) for every 10kg of body weight. ■ Want to know if you’re dehydrated? Your urine can tell you. If its pale, you’re hydrated. If it’s a dark yellow, you need more water. ■ If you struggle to remember to drink water, fill a botte and keep it with you at all times. You can also set reminders on your phone or create habits such as having a glass or two of water before or after meals. ■ Some meals contain more water than others, such as soup, as well as foods in which the water content is high. These include cucumber, celery, tomatoes, watermelon, strawberries and grapefruit. ■ Juice, coffee, tea…

AVILE SHAKES KANGWENYA I know someone who is being raped in her marriage. The moment you don’t want sex with your partner and he forces himself onto you, that is rape. You can lay criminal charges against him. KEITUMETSE MHLANGA Yes, it is. The definition of rape is sex without consent. The relationship you have with the person and the previous sexual acts with consent should not have any bearing on your current state. MALAKE NGWANA WA KGALAKE Nothing, and I mean nothing, can ever make forcing yourself on another person okay. If she’s not in the mood, she’s not in the mood. Sex should be a mutual activity. It’s rape if you continue when the other person says no.…

1 Don’t burn your bridges A few years ago, I attended a final round for a job interview. When the interviewer saw where I worked two jobs ago, he realised he knew one of the directors at that company (that particular director was not even in my references). At the time I didn’t know, but the interviewer called him to ask about me. A year later I bumped into the director (I had got the job, by the way) and he told me about the call. Principle: everyone you engage with in the world of work, even those that you think you will never need, can have an impact on your future. 2 Don’t underestimate your current workplace Do your homework and research before moving onto “better” prospects. If you…

‘I REMEMBER CRYING AND ASKING GOD WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING’ HE’S always believed that God gave him his talent so he could share the word of God through music. In 2018, gospel singer Xolisa Kwinana’s faith was put to the test when he discovered he had a brain tumour the size of agolf ball. GROWING HEALTH CONCERN Xolisa had been experiencing severe, blinding headaches a year before the brain tumour was found.

He was rushed to the hospital where a doctor ran some tests. Nothing abnormal was detected. “My health has always been on point, so…
