NEVER GIVE UP Do we even know that most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who kept their heads and kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope? It’s very disheartening seeing our people just throwing in the towel without even trying hard enough. Things never always turn out the way we always expect them to. Many things do disrupt our life’s journey resulting in destructive emotions, wrong motives, bad habits and traits, failures, disappointments, difficult relationships, grief, endless suffering, loss of loved ones, repossessed houses and cars. All these happen because it’s life and it is how it is. Life is never a constant stream of major crises and overwhelming problems. Life is never a bed of roses or a walk…

SHE just gave the best performance of her life. Fans are still gushing over her emotional, chilling final scenes. It’s all thanks to the nurturing and guidance of industry greats like The River’s Sindi Dlathu and Hlomla Dandala, Zenokuhle Maseko says. Her character, Mbali Dikana, might have died at the end of season two of the series, but her final appearance still has fans shook. LIKE FAMILY She can still remember her first conversation with Hlomla on set, when he asked her how old she was after she joined the show. “I told him I was 19-years-old, and he said, ‘Oh, wow, you are as old as my career’. And since then, Bab’ Hlomla and Mam’ Sindi showed me such kindness. They nurtured me and gave me guidance from the…

SHE was always meant to be on TV. Before Wendy Gumede (27) was born, her father told her mother that she’s pregnant with a TV star. “So everyone at home is always a bit emotional when they see me on screen because they’re witnessing an actual prophecy,”Wendy says.“Whenever I have bad days, I can at least count on the fact that I’m in the right profession.” GETTING STARTED Wendy introduced herself through a satirical YouTube channel in 2017 after she’d become aware of the hardships of getting into the acting industry. Two years later, her work got attention from the right people.“Ultimately, after having doors slammed in my face, the right door opened and I got a job at Bomb Productions as a screenwriter on Isibaya.” Months after joining the…

ARVS have proven to effectively suppress HIV. However, there are people who after testing HIVpositive consider delaying their treatment. They highlight numerous factors as reasons for avoiding ARVs. But if we are to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of 90-90-90, the mindset about this has to change. Besides that, there are health repercussions to consider. THE CONSEQUENCES ‘YOU MUST COMMIT TO TAKING A PILL EVERY DAY FOR YOUR LIFETIME’ ■ Opportunistic illnesses As you delay starting ARVs, HIV continues to destroy your immune system. Before long, you will enter the Aids stage, which will see many opportunistic illnesses creeping in. A weakened immune system allows tuberculosis, pneumonia, diarrhoea and other illnesses to impact your health. ■ Irreversible damage There are some consequences of HIV that leave an irreversible…

AQUARIUS 21 JAN – 18 FEB The sun’s sojourn through your sign is coming to an end, which makes for a week to seize every opportunity. Whether you want to express yourself through the arts or make your voice heard about a progressive scientific idea, the best time is now.

“It’s normal to develop strong feelings for someone who has been there for you during tough times,” says Noxolo Khoza, a psychologist based in Johannesburg. “This is because of the compassion they provide. This is your counsellor’s job. He’s professionally trained to listen well, understand and empathise – that kind of support tends to fall away from most people after a few weeks of sharing your grief. It is important to understand that he steps into that role every time he reports to work – I don’t mean to discredit his character as a person. It sounds like you have a good professional relationship with him, aside from the newly developed feelings. “How well do you know him and his personal life outside his professional role? Is he in a…

MMATSHEPO MASHEGO This is very unfair to us ladies. Raising kids is not an easy task and it requires 101% of our time, which sometimes makes us forget about ourselves.

TODAY, fans look at him and see happiness and success. But life wasn’t always easy for gospel singer Samkelo Ngqamza. Growing up, he wasn’t allowed to start school when the rest of his friends did. As the eldest of three children, he had to stay home to take care of his mentally ill mother and help his grandfather herd cattle. But none of that stopped Samkelo (34) from achieving his dreams. He’s now an award-winning artist and has built a house for his mother from the money he made from his first album. TAKING MATTERS INTO HIS OWN HANDS Samkelo grew up in the small town of Mqanduli in the Eastern Cape. He says his strict grandfather didn’t give him the freedom to do the things his peers were doing,…

FOR most people, their birthday is all about them. But this was not the case for gospel star, Bheki M. When he recently celebrated his 37th birthday, he handed out meals to the homeless in Randburg. “The experience was fulfilling,” he says. “It’s always a good move to allow God to use you as a vessel, to answer someone else’s prayer.” He says this is how he wants to celebrate his birthday from now on. “I believe I can do even better; something that will add even more value.”…

IT’S only a few weeks into the school year and already there have been numerous reports of bullying incidents. A learner at Modiri Secondary School in Ga-Rankuwa was caught on video pouring liquid over another pupil, then hitting her. She has since been arrested and has also apologised. This reminded me of my school bully. She never hit me, but she used to steal my lunch daily and I had no idea I could stop her by reporting her. Bullying is a problem everywhere. Kids should know better than to bully their peers and make their lives hell. And because of these bullies, kids will become withdrawn, their confidence will take a knock and their grades might suffer too. All because another child is tormenting them and they don’t know…

ABIDE BY THE RULES It’s important to keep consistency when dealing with the rules of the club. For example, the Umndeni Wethu stokvel is strict when it comes to members who do not make their monthly contribution on time. A stokvel should also be democratic and members must understand that decisions are made based on the rule of the majority. You must be able to trust your fellow members and feel confident that each member will be able to handle money. If a member is unable to make their monthly contribution, they should be honest and inform the treasurer beforehand so that alternative arrangements can be made if necessary. If you want your stokvel to be featured in Move!, send us your contact details and a picture of your stokvel…

EVALUATION Two paramedics are dispatched to check on a 92-year-old man who has become disoriented. They decide to take him to the hospital for evaluation. En route, with the ambulance siren howling, they question the man to determine his level of awareness. Leaning close, one asks, “Sir, do you know what we’re doing right now?” The old man slowly looks up at him then gazes out the ambulance rear window. “Oh,” he replies, “I’d say about 100, maybe 120 kilometres per hour.” PERFECT SIPHO A man walks out into the street and manages to get a taxi just going by. He gets into the taxi, and the taxi driver says, “Perfect timing. You’re just like Sipho.” “Who?” “Sipho. There’s a guy who did everything right. Like my coming along when…

Q LEGAL ACTION FROM CREDITORS I resigned from work due to a misunderstanding with my employer and I did not pay my creditors for seven months. The creditors now want to take legal action but I just got a new job and can begin paying them again. ANONYMOUS, EMAIL A Creditors have a right to take legal action against you as you breached the terms of your agreement with them.

Q SHOULD I REMARRY MY EX? I divorced my husband nine months ago because he left me with our three kids and went to live with his mistress for two years. Now he’s back with us. Our kids are happy and so am I. He wants us to get married again but there is a part of me that thinks he may run away again. What should I do? ANONYMOUS, EMAIL A It is never easy to trust again, but it is possible. You need to share your fears with your ex and not rush into anything. The level of mistrust and fear that you feel is an indication that you are still healing from the betrayal. The length of the healing process also depends on you knowing and understanding…

ANONYMOUS, EMAIL A My apologies for your loss. I hope you find your peace in the shortest time. The normal time that one is expected to wait is about six weeks.

WHEREVER she goes she turns heads. She’s always dressed in extravagant, colourful regalia and commands attention as soon as she speaks. “It’s all things royal. I can’t wear something that has no volume, it’s royalty,” praise-poet Jessica Mbangeni confidently tells Move! She’s been in the spotlight lately after her much-publicised and controversial appearances at high-profile funerals. But Jessica isn’t fazed. We meet the acclaimed poet at our Joburg office. She’s wearing a plain white linen dress but the African-inspired accessories around her neck and green beaded head-wrap give her that “royalty inspired” look. THE BISHOP-ELECT “I have the spirit of creativity. It’s all about allowing yourself your own space of greatness,” Jessica says. “It enhances everything around you. Even if I try not to wear something wow, I can’t.” She…

THE Langa family thought they got rid of him when they gave him R10 million to skip town. But the sneaky Mthunzi Mayisa, played by Bongile Mantsai (38), is back and in hiding, renting an office and a flat and planning to take down the Langas. When Bongile joined Scandal!, many viewers complained about his character and questioned why he never gets caught for his vicious crimes. But when the writers gave him a two-month break, fans began to miss his wicked ways. THE BAD GUY Although he now loves playing the baddie, when Bongile was first cast for Scandal! he wasn’t keen to play a villain. “Mthunzi and I are complete opposites,” he says. “When I got the part I was extremely nervous about how people would perceive me.”…

The disease ran so rampant through his body, doctors had no choice but to amputate his fingers and legs to save his life. He spent two months in…

“It’s important to praise children’s strategies and efforts in becoming more effective, rather than saying they’re clever, which entrenches the fixed mindset and disempowers them from taking risks and dreaming bigger,” McIntyre says. Tell your child success is a process. Look at successful people you know and how they achieved it – not by being but by becoming through persistence, learning from others and using strategies to improve. Help your child focus on developing their own competencies instead of comparing themselves with and trying to be someone else, she adds. Here are more tips: ■ Tell your child it’s possible for their brain to grow. ■ Pay attention to effort over results. ■ Don’t say, “I don’t know how to do it”, say, “I don’t know how to do it…

TO LOVE and be loved is a great desire for all. We all want to be accepted and loved as we are. People will go to extraordinary lengths all in the name of love. However, nothing can truly fill the heart as well as God can. It’s the love of God that truly satisfies. YOU ARE LOVED Romans 5:5 states, “Hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” So, believe and then receive the love God has for you. It matters to Him that you know you are accepted and chosen by Him. He wants you to know you are loved and can come to know Him. In Acts 16:31, a man responsible…
