Inhoudsopgave van 6/12/2019 - Move!

We live in a time where everything is expensive; electricity, petrol and food prices are high. It is hard to even spoil yourself, never mind offer a helping hand to someone else. Tsalanang Social Club members are selfless and have dedicated themselves to their community and are trying to make a difference. They are proof that change starts with us. Start in your community Community work does not need to be expensive or require money at all. Look at the challenges in your community and start there. It can be picking up paper and broken bottles in a nearby park. It can be donating your old blankets and clothes to a shelter near you as a group. It may not mean anything to you, but to those that receive these…

IT takes a lot of courage to do what he does and it’s not a job for the fainthearted, he believes. And it certainly looked like a lot – the shocking revelations of cheating, one man finding out his son isn’t his and a whole lot of restrained violence – all in 30 minutes. But it turns out all of it might have all been a show put on for TV. Now, once again, hip-hop musician Molemo ‘Jub Jub’ Maarohanye is in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. He’s the host of the new Moja Love TV show Uyajola 9/9, which debuted last month to rave reviews. Who wouldn’t love the drama of an acharselling mama who’s been having a long-term affair with a neighbour, while her unsuspecting husband…

THERE’S always a reason to pop champagne and eat fancy food. For e.tv, any good season is a great reason to celebrate, so the channel threw a gala dinner to celebrate their good fortune. Musicians; Tamara Dey, Lady Zamar and Saxophonist kept the crowd entertained at the dinner, which was held at Melrose Arch. The e.tv drama Imbewu: The Seed is the fastest growing drama on the channel. Scandal! has gone from strength to strength. Rhythm City has also remained a favourite.…

THEY’RE the heart of many households, keeping the wheels turning as they cook, clean and take care of kids. Many people will readily admit they’d be lost without their domestic workers. And yet a shocking new report shows that despite all their hard work and loyalty, many domestic workers are shamelessly exploited. THE STATS It’s painful to imagine someone being paid just R110 for eight hours of backbreaking work. Yet this is what many of the respondents surveyed by domestic service company, SweepSouth receive. In its annual report on pay and working conditions, the cleaning outfit interviewed 1 300 domestic workers and found an alarming 43% were only being paid between R1 100 and R3 000 per month. This is much lower than the R275-R300 per day rate the South…

SHE used the last R13 in her purse to catch a taxi to the audition, then beat the odds to rise through the ranks of The Voice South Africa in 2016. And although Thembeka Mnguni didn’t win the competition the whole country knows who she is now. Her powerhouse voice landed her a contract with Universal Music and gigs around Mzansi and overseas too – but as wonderful as it all is, having a steady income and a bright future means a lot more to her than personal success and fulfilment of a dream. DAILY STRUGGLE The 35-year-old single mom can now afford the fees for her seven-year-old son, Sabelo, to attend a special needs school. Sabelo is autistic and the challenges of raising him are many, she says. She…

■ Do have a chat with your child before the friend arrives, educational psychologist Carina says. “Decide together if you want to pack away certain toys your child doesn’t want to share with others. Talk about how they can make the friend feel special and what snacks your child can offer them, and when.” ■ Don’t constantly suggest games and activities, clinical psychologist Naomi says. “Remember, kids learn by playing and if you organise and manage everything they’re not learning to do so themselves." ■ Do give them a chance to sort out conflict by themselves first, but intervene if it turns into bickering or bullying, Naomi says.…

GOD is always looking for someone to use so He can mend those whose souls are crushed as a result of unpleasant encounters. He needs someone to pull back those in affliction, someone to impact them, transform and change their lives. Someone who will speak from a place of a scar so the wounded can practically see that survival is possible. AGAINST ALL ODDS I looked at the book of Job 1 and when the Bible introduces us to this man, it lists his amazing biography. One could almost think it would then say, “And therefore, he lived a beautiful life since he was upright and blameless in the sight of God”. But not long after we meet Job, we see a complete turn of events. We witness him facing…

LADIES, we should never allow exploitation to continue. Not with our mothers, our sisters, our daughters, our cousins, our aunties, our friends or ourselves. There is just too much of it happening in South Africa, often to the most vulnerable and poor. A shocking statistic emerged in our story on page 22 about domestic workers’ rights and it is clear some are being horribly exploited. The law is very clear on what a helper should be paid and how much overtime and time off should be given. There are also clear rules on things like Unemployment Insurance Fund so there are no excuses for people who say they didn’t realise they had to do these things for their helpers. Let us know if you know of any domestic helpers being…

THERE seemed to be nothing positive about being in a car crash that leaves you confined to a wheelchair – but Edwina Makgamatha (33) managed to make lemonade out of lemons. The entrepreneur took her life savings and started an enterprise that delivers medical supplies, such as catheters, gauze swabs, surgical tapes, bandages and antiseptic cream, to the doorsteps of disabled people. She started her company, Thusanang Enabling Support Services, three years ago, after a horrific car crash in 2010 left her unable to walk. She had to move out of her second-storey flat and had to adjust how she cared for her two young children. Edwina returned to her job at the logistics company where she worked for three years but there were obstacles. The office lifts not working,…

SHE’S often up with the chickens every morning. They are her bread and butter after all, so farmer Judith Mabitsela (48) loves nothing more than the sound of a rooster crowing in the morning. Judith, who is based in Mokopane in Limpopo, started farming chickens in 2015 and today sells about 40 000 chickens in a cycle. “In a year there are eight cycles which we have to produce the 40 000 chicken per cycle,” she explains. PLANTING THE SEED She’s always loved farming and learnt the basics when she was a little girl. “It was school in the morning, then right after I would help my grandmother with her cattle and sheep in a village outside Polokwane called Moletjie and to thinking about it now, back then the only…

THEY weren’t expected to survive a day outside the womb. Fused at the torso, they shared an abdomen, pelvis, liver, kidney and large intestine and had just two legs between them. Doctors told their parents to say goodbye to them soon after the traumatic birth – but Kendra and Maliyah Herrin weren’t going anywhere. AGAINST ALL ODDS The girls are now 17-year-old high school students with their own YouTube channel and an infectious love of life. They’re also navigating the world on just one leg each after a harrowing operation that effectively cut them in half when they were four years old. But they’re happy their parents chose to separate them, Maliyah said in a recent interview. “The feeling of being attached to someone else is weird,” Kendra said, adding…

Q I CAN’T WAIT TO HAVE SEX I gave birth four weeks ago and the doctor gave me strict instructions that I need to wait for at least six weeks before having sex again.

Thuli Bottoman, senior counselling social worker at the Family Life Centre in Johannesburg, says: “Your gogo is living her own life and you are not responsible for her. The same applies to your ex-boyfriend. Since you are no longer an item, you should not care much about who he's romantically involved with. It's very interesting that you seem to be raising serious concerns about your ex-boyfriend who you neglected to reveal to your family in the past, especially regarding his identity as your baby daddy. The big question you need to answer is, who are you protecting by not telling the child who their father is? You have been protecting this man all your child’s life but they will want to know about their paternity at some stage. Secrets have…

“I’ve just come out of a nasty divorce. I was in a very toxic situation with a man who was willing to go to great lengths to frustrate me. He was unfaithful and verbally abusive towards me, but he strongly believed his behaviour was normal. Despite my deep dislike of him owing to his treatment of me during our six-year marriage, my main fear is for our two children. He’s now threatening not to pay maintenance for them. They love him so much, and I’m scared what the divorce will do to them. Can you advise me on how to manage a co-parenting relationship after such a messy breakup?” FUSTRATED WOMAN TO a child, divorce is like a death with no funeral and it fundamentally changes their entire worldview and…

WORKPLACES are usually very hostile due to the kind of people we work with. Yet I have been blessed with very supportive colleagues. We have started a club where we do social activities together over the weekends such as running, hiking and reading books, among others. It’s true that it is less intimidating and more encouraging to try new things with other people who support one another. Our team consists of all ages, genders and sizes, and are friendly to one another. Many of my experiences and lessons have come through people I teamed up with. I went from running just over a kilometre every once in a while to running 5km every weekend. I am now totally in love with running. Our dream is to run the Comrades Marathon…

SHE was a familiar face in households across Mzansi when she hosted the Zama Zama game show on SABC1 in the 1990s, and Nomsa Nene has once more settled comfortably into her role as a household name. Her 16-year break from performing ended when she took a role on e.tv’s Broken Vows in 2016, and she’s currently starring as the witch MaMthembu on season two of Mzansi Magic’s The Herd. The vibrant actress with the warm, wide smile left TV to become a businesswoman, running a property company – with a little helpful advice from an American reality TV star Donald Trump. When she was getting into the property business, Nomsa (60) tells Move!, she read all of the businessman-turned-TV-star-turned-president’s books on business. “They were very useful,” she says. She…

SHE’s been compared to the likes of musos Lady Zamar, Simmy and Bucie Nkomo. But the new female vocalist behind the huge hits Bhutiza and Visa by DJ Mobi Dixon, Nichume Siwundla (27), says her contemporary sound is incomparable, and people should get used to the click in her name because she will be around for a very long time. “I love all those female singers, but I’m in my own lane,” she says with confidence. GOING SOLO Her career got a boost with the December hit Bhutiza, which dominated charts for weeks.

“These are legal requirements. Failure to comply is breaking the law,” says Aisha Pandor, CEO of SweepSouth. Gloria Kente (RIGHT), a representative for the SA Domestic Service and Allied Workers Union (Sadsawu), says the union deals with many cases each week involving employers who treat their workers unfairly. She says domestic workers who are being inadequately paid or badly treated should reach out to Sadsawu. “If employers don’t want to pay we take them to the Department Of Labour. The department must deal with the employer and we do a follow-up.”Chief director for labour relations at the Department Of Labour, Thembinkosi Mkalipi, says the department has inspectors who investigate these cases. They have the power to hit errant employers with penalties and make them compensate their workers. Alternatively, workers can…

Wax for body hair HARD 1 If you’re using heated wax, warm it up to the temperature indicated on the packaging. If it’s too hot it will burn your skin, but if it’s not warm enough it won’t work properly. 2 Once warmed, apply the wax on clean skin in the direction of the hair growth. Put the strip that comes with it on top of the applied wax. Press it down firmly. 3 Wait for the wax too cool, hold the skin taut with one hand and using your other hand, pull the strip off in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Do this in a quick motion. 4 Repeat the above steps on desired areas. 5 Use a cooling pack or cool cloth on the areas you’ve…

IF you’ve been on this HIV journey for any length of time, you will have come across some of the acronyms associated with the virus that are often thrown around.

Are you taking contraceptive pills that have a seven-day break? Well, according to recent reports there’s no need for this break and the consequent bleed – and, therefore, expensive tampons! So why have we been doing it like this for over 60 years? To please the pope, apparently. The seven-day break was a plan devised by American obstetrician and gynaecologist, John Rock, in the hope the pope would accept the pill and allow Catholics to use it, University College London’s Professor John Guillebaud told The Telegraph. New guidelines have now been issued in the UK to assure women the contraceptive pill can be safely taken every day of the month.…
