IT SEEMS like the simplest thing. Something most of us were taught in primary school and grew up practicing. And it can save lives. But for some reason, over the years, some of us have gotten sloppy about it. But now that the dreaded coronavirus has made it to our shores, it’s time to brush up on it again. Washing our hands. Our story on page 20 explains all you need to know about this virus. It doesn’t matter if it hasn’t reached your province yet, or if you haven’t been in contact with anyone who has it, just wash your hands. When you’ve been to the bathroom, when you are about to touch food, when you’re about to shake a few hands – and after shaking them – wash…

SHE stole viewers’ hearts in Isithembiso as the naive 18-year-old who’d just passed matric and was headed to university in Johannesburg. Now Nandi Mbatha is looking forward to stretching her wings. When she first joined the Mzansi Magic show in 2017, she had no acting experience but her opening shots in Isithembiso had viewers raving about her talent and soon she became Simi to viewers. Three years later, the show is coming to an end and Nandi has sealed her name in the stars. We caught up with the beauty after her trip from France for Paris Fashion Week. “We were blessed with three seasons of the show. Having been a 20-year-old with no acting experience before this big role, I believe my story was different and I stayed true…

Move! was at the launch party to bring you a look at the glamorous celebs and contestants in attendance.…

Isidingo’s plots didn’t shy away from social, socio-economic and political commentary. It was important that the series reflected what was happening in South Africa and internationally, says Sipho Tshapu, one of the writers. “Isidingo thrived by including real-time current affairs. It was the trade secret we perfected over the years.” ■ The death of Lee Haines. This followed the real-life death of actress Ashley Callie, who played Lee, in a 2008 car crash in Johannesburg. ■ Lerato Moloi-Matabane (Tema Sebopedi), first wife of Sechaba Moloi-Matabane (Motlatsi Mafatshe), was diagnosed with cancer and as a result was unable to have children. ■ The sudden death of Letti Matabane (Lesego Motsepe). “Letti’s passing happened soon after Lee’s and was incredibly touching,” says executive producer Pumla Hopa. “Our audience really felt the pain…

HE WAS back in South Africa for a few days before he felt ill. And when he went to the doctor he was diagnosed and became the first reported case of the Covid-19 strain of coronavirus in South Africa. At that point, the KwaZulu-Natal man had already spent time with his family, been on a plane with hundreds of strangers and the group of 10 people he was travelling with, and he’d been to the doctor – which means they were all at risk of having the disease too. At the time of going to print it wasn’t known how many others were infected by the unnamed man who tested positive for the virus. But many people had already started to panic seeing as the 38-year-old didn’t even know he…

TRASHED trains, last-minute cancellations, lax security, appalling vandalism and catastrophic cashflow problems. The list of issues plaguing the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) is long – and the people relying on its services to get to work every day are fed up, to say the least. The numbers speak for themselves. In 10 years the number of passengers using trains daily has dropped from 3,8 million to 387 530 – and Prasa’s new administrator can’t blame them. “It’s a national crisis,” says Bongisizwe Mpondo, the man with what must be one of the most unenvied jobs in SA: trying to get Prasa out of the deep, dark hole it’s in. He’s been given 12 months to turn the entity around and admits it’s not a task for the…

Q I’M SELF-CONSCIOUS ABOUT SHOWING MY SKIN BUT I STILL WANT TO ROCK LACE LOOKS. HOW CAN I DO THIS WITHOUT MY OUTFIT BEING TOO REVEALING? A Lace can be a very see-through and revealing fabric, but you don’t have to show everything. Accentuate the parts of your body you’re happy to show by having only those areas covered with lace. Also play around with layering your items. You can wear camisoles, slip dresses and three-quarter-sleeve tops under your lace. This way you can have fun with your outfits, mixing up the lace vs skin ratio. The bottom layer can even be a different colour to your lace item to create a fun contrast. Wearing a jacket and pants or leggings with your lace look can also lessen your worry…

HIV is now manageable through ARVs, but one of the obstacles we must overcome is finding a way to balance our emotional and mental states. Many people underestimate the impact either can have – whether positive or negative – on our journey to conquering HIV holistically. HARMFUL BEHAVIOUR Anger, pain, guilt, fear and regret are just some of the emotions we encounter from the time we are told we are HIV-positive. These emotions are understandable and acceptable in response to our diagnosis. They may even lurk around, popping up now and then as we continue with our journey. ‘EMPOWER YOURSELF WITH INFORMATION’ If we are unable to manage or master them, these emotions can end up overwhelming and crushing us and causing harmful behaviour such as: ■ Outbursts Feelings of…

ARIES (21 MAR – 19 APR) The sun moves into your sign this week, signalling the start of a new personal year. It’s time for new beginnings and to swop the old for the new, so kick-start a new project, renew your goals or revamp your wardrobe. It’s also a great time to turn over a new leaf, like kicking that bad habit.

“At times, our feelings lack logic,” says Kgadi Thobejane, a clinical psychologist from Pretoria. “Firstly, you are attracted to a man who appears to be committed to another relationship that is known by his family. This makes you his side chick. Ask yourself if this is what you want in a relationship – to be second or third choice. “Irrespective of your so-called mutual love, it appears you are the one who is being taken for granted. Having a child in this kind of a relationship is unfair for your unborn child. “You will need your boyfriend’s support during and after pregnancy, which appears to be highly unlikely to happen. To raise a child also requires two mature parents who will be committed to raising a child for the rest…

MY FOOD HABITS Richards Bay dietician Nelile Nxumalo shares her top food tips and suggestions for those living with HIV/Aids. WHAT’S YOUR TYPICAL MEAL? A slice of low-GI, high-fibre bread with peanut butter that has no added sugar or salt. It’s high in energy and completely balanced, as it contains protein for muscle development, good fats, healthy carbohydrates and fibre to keep you regular. Low-GI (glycaemic index) foods make you feel fuller for longer and don’t raise your blood sugar levels quickly. WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE DISH? I’m a serious breakfast fan as it’s the most important meal of the day. I enjoy rolled oats, which I soak overnight in milk or water, served with plain yoghurt and fresh fruit pieces. Oats contains fibre that keeps me fuller for longer, the…

ZOTHANDO NTENTULE The children need their parents. Love them and do what is right for them. Stop concentrating on the past and think ahead. Stop thinking about you and start thinking about them – then you will succeed. AGRINETH NUPI NKADIMENG Communication is the key.

Life coach Noxolo Speelman says women shouldn’t shy away from conflict. Matters need to be dealt with head-on. “Conflict is healthy for any relationship,” she says. “Our weakness is that we shy away from it. Women were raised to avoid conflict but it’s one of the things that strengthens a relationship. It helps people to understand each other.” But we must learn to resolve personal conflict without throwing our toys out of the cot, she adds. “Some people think because I work with relationships, I don’t get hurt. I deal with these things like any other woman – I cry, I fight and sit down and face them,” she admits. Social worker Pearl Ramotsamai adds that it’s vital that you and your partner keep a united front when faced with…

WE’VE covered the issue of debt in Move! many times but it remains a topic we receive many desperate queries about. “I’m drowning!” “What do I do if I can’t afford my repayments?” So we’ve done a roundup of various debt solutions, including everything you need to know about each one, as well as where to go for more help. VOLUNTARY SURRENDER When you buy an expensive item – for example a fridge or a TV – on a repayment plan, you get to use that item while you’re paying it off. You become its owner only once you have paid the full purchase price. If you’re struggling with repayments, the National Credit Act gives you the right to return the item to the shop you bought it from. The…

PUT EDUCATION FIRST Former president Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is a great engine of personal development”. On this note, let me mobilise our celebrities to lead by example because young people look up to them as role models and also dream of being like them. I have read lots of interviews where celebrities often declare proudly how they quit school or dropped out of tertiary institutions to follow their talents or passions. There’s nothing wrong with using what God has given you, but if you compromise education in favour of talent, no future is certain. ‘IF YOU COMPROMISE EDUCATION, NO FUTURE IS CERTAIN’ There are challenges in life that can only be overcome by the incredible power of education. You may be a good actor today, but there will…

‘I JUST WANT TO LIVE AND BE HAPPY’ SHE’S looking forward to the big 40 and is gearing up to live her life to the fullest. It’s taken actress Brenda Ngxoli a lot of introspection, seclusion and self-love to get to where she is today. “Who is Brenda Ngxoli without all these other things?” was one of the questions that gave her a sense of peace especially after she packed her bags to go back home to the Eastern Cape for seven years. The actress is just shy of 40 and she says she’s ready. “From the age of 21, I have been shoved in the spotlight, that has been kind of difficult. In this industry at that age, it is either you grow up too fast or find yourself…

‘OUR FIRST KISS . . . ALL I CAN SAY IS DELICIOUS!’ SHE was the first to walk down the red carpet to meet her Prince Charming. And Qiniso Van Damme knew she needed to make a lasting impression. She needn’t have worried, though. From the get-go, Qiniso caught the eye of Marc Buckner. Her bubbly personality and cool confidence were just some of the qualities that appealed to the man known across Mzansi as The Bachelor. Yet it’s those same traits that are driving her The Bachelor South Africa housemates up the wall. RUFFLING FEATHERS Qiniso ruffled feathers in the mansion she shares with the 20-plus women all vying for Marc’s heart when she insisted her housemates pronounce her name correctly. Just who does she think she is, they…

TIPS ■ You can reuse lashes about five times if you take good care of them. ■ Store them in their packaging and place them as you found them to make them last longer. ■ Use an earbud and makeup remover to clean them. Let them dry before you use them again. ■ Use a pair of tweezers to remove excess glue that’s dried. Be gentle, taking care not to pluck any lashes as you go. ■ Always measure full lashes over your eyelid to see if they fit before you put them on. If they’re slightly longer, snip the excess length from the inner corner. ■ If you have sensitive eyes and are worried about using glue, opt for lashes with magnets. They look just as great and they…

Q HOW CAN I GET MY SISTER TO SEND ME MY MONEY? After our parents passed away, my sister and I split the rent from the tenants living in the home they passed onto us. I had to move to a different province for work and since then, my sister has stopped sending me my half of the rent income. When I call her, she promises to send it but she never does. I am unemployed and have children to support. What can I do to get her to send me the money? ANONYMOUS, EMAIL A The first thing that must be done is to wind up the estate of your parents so that the house can be registered in both your names. Secondly, you can hire the services of…

Q DOES SHE LOVE ME? I’m a 24-year-old man. I am employed and studying at the same time. I’ve been dating a girl for eight months. She is 22 years old. I love her but I don’t know if she feels the same way. I make appointments for us to meet or invite her to my place, but she fails to turn up. When I send her a WhatsApp or call her, she doesn’t respond. How can I make her realise I love her so much? ANONYMOUS, EMAIL A You say you and your girlfriend are dating, you love her but you are not sure if she feels the same way. This already indicates a problem in your relationship because the start of a relationship is normally on the basis…

Q TEAR DURING CHILDBIRTH I gave birth to a 4,3kg baby boy and I suffered a four-degree tear. Since then I suffer from incontinence. This has knocked my confidence and I struggle to be intimate with my husband. What can I do? ANONYMOUS, EMAIL A Tears of different severities can happen during vaginal childbirth. Also, the muscle responsible for childbirth can affect the bladder (and anus) during pregnancy and/or after childbirth. This, along with hormonal changes, can cause incontinence (a lack of control over urination or defecation). In your case, if the incontinence is as a result of the tear, you may be suffering from complications due to the surgery that may have been done on the tear. You suffered a severe tear – a four-degree tear is a vaginal…

The bottom line is that your in-laws are a crucial part of your spouse’s life – and therefore yours. “He is their son and your husband – and that means he plays two different roles,” says social worker Pearl Ramotsamai. His family may not have the same rules but try not to think of them as worse or wrong – they’re just different. Be kind. You don’t have to agree on everything and sometimes it’s worth giving way on small points and sticking to your guns or negotiating key issues. You’ll win some and lose some, so accept that sometimes you’ll have to swallow your pride, grit your teeth and smile. This is where a sense of humour comes in – it’s vital in any marriage.…

MOST of us are not automatically stirred by an urge to do something from within. We’re not always inspired. The main reason for this is that we live in yesterday – in other words, yesterday’s disappointments, hurt and shortcomings. And we do this without profit for the present or the future. But it is possible to be continuously inspired to do more in this life. Here’s how. MAKE THE CHANGE Connecting your tomorrow to a demotivated today will yield more demotivation. The opposite is also true – connecting an inspired today to tomorrow will yield an inspired tomorrow. But first you must be uplifted and ready to work on your thoughts. Your thoughts have a direct effect on your mood and therefore what you end up doing or not doing.…

I AM the proud mother of Jabulani JR Nkosi. JR (17) has autism, a mental condition that makes it difficult to communicate, form relationships and use language effectively. Most people don’t have a clue what autism is. And neither did I. JR was three years old when he was diagnosed. The baby talk we were used to suddenly stopped, he didn’t make eye contact, he stopped responding to his name and he had uncontrollable tantrums. I was alone and scared. I had to ask the doctor to explain the diagnosis in isiXhosa and when he said it was incurable, I almost lost it. I hated the world, I blamed God. I started thinking that perhaps I did wrong during pregnancy. FINDING A WAY A day in the life of a…

‘THOSE WHO CRITICISE ME WILL SEE WHAT I WAS PUSHING ALL THIS TIME’ NELSON Mandela, Hip Hop Pantsula, Beyoncé and Zozibini Tunzi – they all have one thing in common. They’ve been painted by the popular artist Rasta. He rose to fame when he started showing up at various celebrity funerals, with his paintings trending almost every other week for not looking like the subjects. His art is unexplainable, the 42-year-old tells Move!. “I wish I could explain my art. Like with the Zozi Tunzi (Miss Universe), which I believe was exactly like how she looks, I wanted it to be relatable to any young girl. I captured her the way she is and it’s a beautiful image.” Rasta, real name Lebani Sirenje, has been referred to as a celebrity…

SHE hasn’t been a teen for a few years. But with her roles, she gets to relive some of the best and worst times in a teenager’s life. Kamogelo Molatlhoe has just turned 25, but to Mzansi’s TV fans she’s still a teen. The petite actress loves how believable she is in her roles in telenovela Lithapo and e.tv’s Rhythm City. Her personal experiences make it easier for her to portray the characters. “Teenagers go through a lot and often silently at that. At times they’re also trying to figure out what’s going on with all the changes they’re going through. Because I’ve been there, it gives me pleasure to play characters that might be giving a teen out there a sense of direction and belonging,” Kamogelo says. PLAYING PRETEND…

MICHELLE BOTES Cherel de Villiers-Haines-Le Roux-Holmes (1998–2007 and 2010–2013) “Cherel was a gift,” Michelle says. “I love playing baddies. I enjoyed that she had no scruples. “She was power-hungry and wanted nothing other than to get to the top. She sometimes stumbled but never stayed down for long. “Isidingo was a big part of my life.” HLUBI MBOYA ARNOLD Nandipha Sithole (1999–2011) She played the role of HIVpositive Nandipha at a time when it was a hugely relevant issue in SA and admitting you were HIV-positive was still a big taboo. Hlubi says she loved her time on the show. “It was my first professional acting gig. I learnt everything I know on that show.” She says it also gave her a platform for her humanitarian work.

IT WASN’T just a good day – it was a great one for Snethemba Ntombela (15). The young athlete had completed her best race yet, and had qualified to represent Gauteng at the South African School Sprints Champions in April. Sne, who lives in a new informal settlement in Devland, Soweto, and her teammates were celebrating their accomplishment and enjoying kotas before they walked to the Power Park sports complex’s swimming pool where they often trained. Then disaster struck. All Sne can remember is chatting to her friends. Then she woke up in the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital. A car had crashed into her and Sne was suddenly aware that her hope of becoming a champion in the sport she loved was fading like a dream from which she had…

“The general public should be alert but not anxious remembering to only rely on reliable sources of information for updates and not to believe everything that is spread around on social media,” says medical epidemiologist Dr Sibongile Walaza. If you’re feeling scared, just remember that more than 80% of people who catch it have symptoms that are so mild they don’t require medical care. “And even for the highest risk group, the great majority of people will survive this,” says England’s chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty. If there’s a big outbreak in SA, it could cause some disruptions to your life but things will eventually get back to normal. Scientists believe the virus peaks in a country after two to three months of high infection rates. After that there…

SO YOU think the answer to a good, long life is to eat well, drink moderately and do brain-boosting things such as crossword puzzles. Yes, all that is important, of course. But there’s a simpler way – and it’s a whole lot more fun. Have sex. Just because you’re getting older doesn’t mean you should stop doing the deed. “You can have a healthy, happy, satisfying sex-life at age 70, even 90 or 100,” says medical doctor Jireh Serfontein from Pretoria. Here are just some of the many advantages of keeping sexually active with your partner in your later years. IT CAN MAKE YOU SMARTER! The study by the University of Oxford involved 73 people (28 men and 45 women) aged between 50 and 83. All were quizzed about their…

It’s important to work with your partner, not against him, to find solutions. One way of doing this is to have mutually agreed guidelines in place about what is and what isn’t acceptable. “Ensure your involvement in all decisions,” social worker Pearl Ramotsamai says. “You shouldn’t find out about a decision that’s been made because you now have to play your part in implementing it. You can set simple, clear boundaries such as asking your in-laws to call before they come to visit.” But your expectations need to be reasonable and realistic too.…

WE ALL have at least one hard-to-shift work habit that holds us back. Breaking a bad habit doesn’t have to be difficult – and the results can be spectacular. “It’s amazing to see a woman release her true potential,” says Laura Thomson, a leadership and confidence trainer at Phenomenal Training. “Often, she’ll have one main issue holding her back. I call it the ‘popcorn effect’ – once the big fear is dealt with, a load of other stuff ‘pops’ free too and she becomes unstoppable.” Find out which of these three horrible career habits is yours and what to do to change it – and soar!

HE INFAMOUSLY spent seven years in prison from 2009. But he tells us he’s come out on the other side and now, years later, is stronger than ever. In fact, author, businessman and motivational speaker Themba Lukhele (41) aka Skeem GP is launching his second book, King Pin, as well as a documentary called Resurgence. King Pin follows his biography, Through It All, and it is a story about hope. He wants people to know his story, how God helped him, and hopefully they’ll be able to use this in their lives. “Pastors always talk about what God will do for us. They must tell us what God has done for them, which is where people get their motivation.” TELLING HIS STORY Themba says he always had a desire to…
