#WCW (Woman Crush Wednesday)

GUESS who’s back with a vengeance! Caster Semenya took to the track three times on the same day recently and, with every stride, hurtled back towards the extraordinary.

First she won the SA 400m title in 50.78 seconds – not only the fastest time in the world this year but a personal best by nearly two seconds.

Then, after a 50‑minute rest, she galloped to the 800m title in 1:58.45, another world’s best in 2016. Finally, for good measure, she whizzed home in the 1 500m.

It was the first time anyone has won three South African titles in a day, but the amazing part is Caster barely seemed to break a sweat in each race until the home straight!

In This Week’s Issue

STEVEN TYLER of Aerosmith is not necessarily the name that springs to mind then you think the words ‘Man Crush’, but, hey ho, this week he stood out as the star with heart for us when he recently made a fan’s dream come true. Having Down’s Syndrome did not stop 24‑year‑old Anthony from being a big Steven Tyler fan. He tried to get tickets for Tyler’s concert in Niagara Falls, but the show was sold out. As luck would have it, when he and his mother walked into a pharmacy (because, like, where else does Steve hang out, right?), they recognised a familiar figure at the counter. In a flash, Anthony ran over to the rock legend to give him a hug. Tyler hugged him back, then hugged and kissed his mom for good measure.

When asked whether they were going for the show that night, and learning they didn’t have the tickets, Tyler offered them backstage passes. As Tyler was performing on stage that night, Anthony was brought out to play the maracas for the setlist staple, Sweet Emotion.

#TBT (Throwback Thursday)

WE’VE all been there, right? Young, stars in our eyes, and have to find a way to pay the bills and get a break in the industry. So what did Gabrielle Union do before she hit the big time? She modelled. Sleeves. So much sleeve. She shared this pic recently and captioned it: “#tbt to 1 of my 1st ‘modelling’ jobs. I was paid 120$ for the day... cut to... they been using that same 120$ picture for 20 yrs...” We’re not surprised then that this pic is probably one of the 10 things she hates...

#FFF (Fun Fact Friday)

AT the time of filming the movie Chinatown, Jack Nicholson had just embarked on what would be a long‑standing relationship with Anjelica Huston. This made his scenes with her father, John Huston, rather uncomfortable, especially as the only time Anjelica was on set was the day they were filming the scene where John as Noah Cross interrogates Nicholson’s character with the line, “Mr Gittes... Do you sleep with my daughter?”

O we have a full issue for you this week! Dr Nicole Kanaris spent some time in Hollywood with the gorgeous Dr Robert Rey who became famous on reality show Dr 90210 as well as Dr Qurian who is renowned for his work on Kylie Jenner. This week, Dr Kanaris shares her experiences with us, and tells us about the popular Hollywood non‑surgical cosmetic procedures that are now available in SA. The big trends for this year are smaller breasts (about time!), bigger lips, and non‑surgical fat removal to mention just a few. To read this fabulous Nip, Tucked, Sucked And Satisfied! special turn to pages 16 to 20.

Murder And Mystery… Going back 19 years.

I remember I had just been appointed editor (oh my word! How time flies when you’re having fun!) and magazine covers had the sad story of JonBenét Ramsey, found murdered in the basement of her parents’ home on Christmas day. At that time there were many rumours surrounding the case and her parents became prime suspects.

The Ramseys’ were the picture‑ perfect family, with the mom, Patsy, a former beauty queen and the dad, a high‑flying corporate executive at a large, successful company. So how could this perfect family be accused of killing their only daughter?

Police eventually exonerated the parents and had many other suspects over the years. Now, the case has opened up again… Turn to pages 42 and 43 to see the latest on this mystery case.

Enjoy!

THIS week’s #SS choice is going to leave you hungry, in more ways than one. Meet Peruvian hunk Franco Noriega, who, of course, has modelled for the likes of Dolce & Gabbana and Burberry, but he’s also carved a niche in underwear and swimsuit shoots, thanks to his sculptural physique. With lots of thanks. The self‑confessed fitness addict, who now lives in New York, is much more than a pretty face: He also makes his own jewellery and is a chef.

We’ve got dibs on licking the, um, spoon.

#Awks! #SS (Sore Sunday)

IN another tragic occurrence on our country’s roads, a bus accident recently saw 11 people killed and 59 injured when the vehicle they were travelling in left the road and rolled a number of times on the N1 between Ventersburg and Winburg in the Free State. The bus was carrying African National Congress members home to Ekurhuleni in Gauteng after they had attended the launch of their party’s local government elections manifesto in Port Elizabeth. Our thoughts are with the friends and relatives of the dead and injured passengers.

Paris Meets The Big Apple!

PICS: GREATSTOCK

IT’S been hard for Paris Jackson ever since her father, Michael, passed away back in 2009. Since then she has experimented with drugs, taken up smoking and was even cutting herself. However, after a long recovery process and a lot of rehab, Paris seems to be on the mend.

She recently visited New York for the first time and made sure that her trip to the Big Apple was a memorable one. She and her 26-year-old boyfriend, Michael Snoddy, were spotted on the steps of the Whitney Museum after they had taken in the sights the museum had to offer.

The two looked close on the steps, she rocking a simple grey shirt and jacket over jeans. Prudence Brando, granddaughter of legendary actor Marlon Brando, also joined them on their trip.

The two have become incredibly close over the last few years – and Paris even gave her a tender kiss on the lips!

Paris and her gang ended the day off by watching Finding Neverland on Broadway. .

Michael loved the story of Peter Pan and so it obviously holds a special place in Paris’ heart too. “Had the pleasure of meeting Little Peter (@ tokash_eli) tonight after Finding Neverland. What a gem. My new favourite, moved me to tears.

And by tears, I mean Niagara Falls happened,” she tweeted. Seems like a memorable first trip to New York, Paris! We’re glad you enjoyed it.

N true XXXXXXXXXX fashion, it seems XXXX XXXXXX – following in the footsteps of her great role model older sisters – reportedly had boyfriend XXXXXX followed recently to make sure he’s not cheating on her.

With brother XXXXXXXXX about to wed XXXX’s ex, XXXX XXXXX, it seems XXXX is feeling even more insecure than before – and since there are no wedding bells ringing for them, she’s making sure her beau is at least being faithful.

It wasn’t that long ago that XXX hired a private investigator to watch sister XXXXXXXX’s boyfriend XXXXXXXXXXXX’s every move, so it doesn’t sound completely insane that XXXXX is going about her matters in the same way.

According to insiders, tensions are high at the moment, and XXXXX has major trust issues. Some even claim the couple have already broken up and are keeping it quiet, adding that XXXX is fed up with his 18-year-old ‘plaything’.

But XXXXX is apparently doing everything to make sure he’s committed to her, from checking XXXX’s phone to wanting evidence he isn’t cheating, having him followed and ‘even asking friends to hit on him to test his loyalty’, says an insider. And this isn’t the first time either. Reports state the reality star has done this before when things between her and XXXX got rocky!

But while XXXX might be tired of her immature behaviour, a source claims he’s not ready to pull the plug on the tumultuous romance just yet, though, because he’s loving the attention. “He thinks XXXXX’s nuts, and he’s only with her for publicity at this point,” reveals the source.

HOA, MAMA! Most celebrities would announce their pregnancy the old fashioned way, in a press statement or via social media, but not Megan Fox. Instead, she took the world by storm when she stepped out at this year’s CinemaCon in Las Vegas recently sporting a very visible baby bump. Well, that’s one way to grab our attention.

And being the rebel that Megan is, she even accentuated her bump in a form-fitting Versace dress as she posed on the red carpet with her Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-star, Will Arnett.

Of course, Megan’s pregnancy debut left fans wondering who might by the baby’s father. In fact, Megan even played along, pre-empting speculations about the father’s identity. She jokingly uploaded a picture of her costars over the years, including Will, Shia LaBeouf and Jake Johnson along with the hashtag ‘#notthefather’.

But the truth is, despite the fact that Megan filed for divorce in August last year after five years of marriage from actor Brian Austin Green, a close source has revealed that Brian, who has two sons with Megan, is the baby’s daddy.

“Of course Brian is the father! They never stopped loving each other and they will never stop being devoted parents to their boys,” dished the source, while another insider revealed the pregnancy came as a surprise but they are both ‘very excited’ and they’re living together again while they continue to work on their marriage.

“They’ve leased a home in Bel-Air, Los Angeles. It’s a small, unassuming house, but it’s private and has great views,” said the source, adding, “They do their day-to-day stuff like grocery shopping and taking their kids out together.”

THE South African supermodel excited fans when she announced her first pregnancy on Instagram last month, uploading an adorable black and white snap of her and her fiancé Hermann Nicoli’s hands resting on her stomach. Candice has been dating Hermann since she was 17 years old and they got engaged in August 2015.

Bar Rafaeli

ANOTHER supermodel expecting her first child this year is Bar Rafaeli. The Israeli model is pregnant and revealed the exciting news on her Instagram when she posted a pic of her positive pregnancy test. The news came just three months after Leonardo DiCaprio’s former girlfriend married her boyfriend Adi Ezra in Israel.

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, reunited during breakfast with their kids Noah and Bodhi Not surprising, since the couple have been spotted spending a lot more time together in recent months, often on outings in Los Angeles with their children. And they do have a long history together, having been in an on/off relationship for 11 years.

Megan and Brian began dating back in 2004 after meeting on the set of the series Hope & Faith. The actress, who was 18 at the time, said she felt an instant attraction to Brian, who is 13 years older, and the pair soon became an item.

They got engaged in 2006 but called it off in 2009, with Brian even saying in an interview at the time, “Marriage isn’t a realistic goal for someone who is 23.” However, they rekindled their relationship a few months later, Brian proposed again in June 2010 and they wed just 24 days later.

Speaking about her marriage in 2014, Megan said in an interview, “You can’t live in a fantasy land and think that everything’s going to be perfect all the time. You will go through phases where you’re just not getting along. You’re not communicating well. Arguments are normal.

You have to be patient and sit through that and remember that this is a part of human communication and interaction.” She added, “Brian is my soul mate. He’s definitely meant to be the father of my children.”

Still, new reports are insisting Megan has no plans to drop her divorce petition. With another baby well on the way, this sure is one tricky situation to be caught up in.

One ‘Exotic’ Engagement Party, Guys!

BLAC CHYNA and Rob Kardashian were spotted out celebrating their engagement by throwing a party in that timehonoured and classic way: In a New York strip club. How romantic. The couple couldn’t keep their hands off one another and kept whispering sweet nothings to each other, seeming to almost ignore their guests. Chyna showcased her twins in an LBD with a low-cut neckline and gold trim, while her fiancé went casual in a plain dark shirt, pants and a baseball cap. Chyna is a former exotic dancer, so we’re assuming she felt right at home in the setting! They cut a glitzy cake and popped bottles of Moët & Chandon, although Blac opted to stick to water through the evening. Possibly something to do with her recent brush with the law?

The two were spotted out again together at the music festival, with DiCaprio caught whispering in the 28 year-old singer’s ear as she smiled coyly. It looked as though they were trying to keep their appearance under wraps, possibly because they were rumoured to have had a fling earlier this year when they shared a sweet moment at a nightclub in Paris in January. Could this be the real deal this time?

The Natalie Wood

Mystery Continues WAS there something more sinister to Natalie Wood’s death?

BY ANGELA BEKIARIS

10 PEOPLE

www.peoplemagazine.co.za

T’S been almost 35 years since Natalie Wood passed away. The American actress, known for her roles in movies like Miracle On 34th Street, Splendour In The Grass, Rebel Without A Cause and West Side Story, died during the making of the film Brainstorm.

According to reports at the time, Wood drowned while sailing off of Catalina island in California – she was with her husband, actor Robert Wagner, Brainstorm co-star Christopher Walken and the boat’s captain. At the time, her death was classified as an accidental drowning; however the case was reopened in 2011, and now both Robert Wagner and the late actress’ daughter, Natasha Greyson Wagner, are opening up about the private side of the woman they lost in that tragic boating accident on November 29, 1981.

“We continue to look into it and we will continue to look into it until we can come to some conclusion,” Los Angeles County Sheriff Lt John Corina recently told US People magazine.

In 2008 Wagner wrote a memoir, Pieces Of My Heart, in which he spoke about the tragic event, saying he and Walken were drinking and got into an argument over Wood’s career. “I picked up a wine bottle, slammed it on the table and broke it into pieces,” he wrote. He went on to write that as for what caused her to fall off the boat, it was ‘all conjecture’. “Nobody knows. There are only two possibilities: either she was trying to get away from the argument, or she was trying to tie the dinghy. But the bottom line is that nobody knows exactly what happened.”

Wagner went on to write about his grief and shock following her untimely death, adding, “Did I blame myself? If I had been there, I could have done something. But I wasn’t there. I didn’t see her. The door was closed; I thought she was below deck. I didn’t hear anything. But, ultimately, a man is responsible for his loved one, and she was my loved one.”

Three years later the case was reopened, with the boat’s captain, Dennis Davern, coming forward claiming he had lied to investigators about certain details related to the incident and in turn Wood’s death.

Two months after the case was reopened, an official from the Los Angeles Robert Wagner Sheriff’s Department told and Natalie Wood the Los Angeles Times that detectives found no evidence to dispute the official findings.

“At this point, it is an accidental death,” said William McSweeney, Chief of Detectives for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, adding, “Nothing has been discovered to suggest changing that at this time.” And a year later, Wood’s death was reclassified from accidental drowning to ‘drowning and other undetermined factors’.

In recent news, a spokesperson, Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter, for the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office, Pieces Of My Heart is available from Exclusive Books

Growing Up

NATALIE WOOD, born Natalie Zacharenko, was born in San Francisco.

Born to Russian immigrant parents, she once stated, “I’m very Russian, you know.” Shortly after her birth, the family moved to nearby Sonoma County and lived in Santa Rosa, California. It wasn’t long after that her mother moved them all to Los Angeles and got Natalie involved in film – the start of a very successful career.

Wood’s Career

STARTING off as a child actress, Wood was working in Hollywood from the age of four. By the age of eight she was already given a co-starring role with Maureen O’Hara in the classic Christmas film Miracle On 34th Street. That was just the beginning for her – Woods continued to work hard and earn great roles and recognition, receiving an Academy Awards for Best Actress for her performance in Splendour In The Grass and Love With The Proper Stranger, among other nominations, awards and achievements.

That’s One Way To Make A Royal Flush!

INPRA / MAGAZINE FEATURES

reported that the case will remain undetermined ‘unless additional evidence is brought forward’. Corina also declined to discuss more details of the investigation.

Wood’s daughter, Natasha, has also spoken out, claiming she asked her mom not to leave before the boat accident, sharing emotional memories. She explains how she remembers how she said goodbye to her mother. “Don’t go,” said Natasha, then 11, as Wood got ready to go sailing on their yacht, Splendour.

“I remember she was getting dressed and putting on [her perfume] Jungle Gardenia,” Natasha, Natalie had a crush on 45, revealed to US People recently.

Robert from an early age “They were getting ready to go on the boat. I was hugging her and telling her I loved her and to have a great trip.

She had an angora sweater on and it was very soft. That’s my last memory of her.”

She goes on to say, “I had a funny feeling. I don’t know if it was just being a child who didn’t want her mom to leave or what it was but I didn’t want her to go. I was in a state of shock for years.”

Wagner, now 86, says, “I tried to keep Natalie and Richard her mom’s memory alive for her. We Christopher Walken Gregson’s daughter Natasha were all so shattered by the loss.”

Thanks to therapy, love and support – mainly from Wagner, who is not her biological father but the man who raised her – Natasha, who calls the actor ‘Daddy Wagner’, is now married with three kids. She also adds that she wants her mother to be remembered for her vibrant life and not her tragic death. Sources also add that , along with her younger sister, Courtney, the girls have created a new fragrance called Natalie, inspired by the star’s signature Gardenia scent as a tribute to the mom they adored – the woman they remember and miss – the one, according to reports, who ‘read them Russian fairy tales, loved butterflies and made huevos rancheros’. “She was really funny and she was fierce and she was happy,” Natasha tells the magazine. “That’s how I Captain Dennis Davern remember her.”

Kate Pulls A Marilyn!

IT was almost a right royal fashion disaster for Duchess Kate Middleton recently while she was on a tour of a national monument in India. Walking along side her husband, the Duke of Cambridge, a sudden gust of wind blew her dress up in the manner of sex siren Marilyn Monroe. Luckily Kate

was able to catch the hem of her dress, avoiding any real embarrassment. The Duchess is not the only royal who’s suffered the curse of the breeze, though. Her Maj Queen Elizabeth had a similar moment back in the ’90s. She though, like Kate, managed to keep her modesty intact!

Her Three Marriages

WOOD was married three times – twice to actor Robert Wagner, as well as once to British producer Gregson. According to the actress at the time, she had had a crush on Wagner since she was a child. And while she married the man of her dreams in 1957, a year after they met, the pair separated in June 1961 and divorced in April 1962. In May 1969 she married Gregson after dating for two-and-a-half years – they had a daughter, Natasha, in 1970 and separated in 1971. It didn’t take long for her to make her way back to Wagner – in early 1972, the pair reunited, and remarried on July 16, 1972, just five months after reconciling and only three months after she divorced Gregson. Their daughter, Courtney Wagner, was born in 1974. They remained married until Wood’s death seven years later.

HEN it comes to always feeling and looking good the stars are no different from the rest of us in needing a little trick or two to get by.

Rosie HuntingtonWhiteley: ‘Cut Out Carbs And Hit The Gym’

LINGERIE model Rosie is paid to look good in her undies, but the 29-yearold Brit says that her Hollywood lifestyle makes her think about her body in a different way. “Everything starts with exercise,” she says. “Then you want to look after yourself and put good food into your body. I have a really good response when I cut out carbs, so that’s something I always do before a big event. Hollywood is really geared up for fitness. The gym is something I always prioritise.”

Jessica Alba: ‘Do A Deadly Sins Gym Session’

SIN CITY star Jessica hits the gym for a deadly workout every single day.

“I try to work out every day for 45 minutes to an hour,” says the 35-year-old mom-of-two. “I start out on the treadmill or elliptical machine for 10 to 15 minutes to get my heart rate up to 180 beats per minute.

Then I do 50 lunges and crunches.

Next I get back on the machine for another 10 minutes. Then I work on shoulders, biceps and triceps. I do that nonstop for four sets.”

Kim Kardashian: ‘Accentuate Your Best Bits’

KIM knows how to flaunt her body and encourages other women to do the same. “Find the one part of your body that you love and accentuate it,” the 35-year-old mother-of-two says. “For example, because I have a small waist, a big butt and thin legs, belts work for me. You have to know what looks best on your body.”

Blake Lively: ‘Be At One With Nature’

STYLE queen Blake may hate the gym, but the 28-year-old beauty says she is no couch potato and gets her exercise from other places.

“I dance, I ride bicycles, I hike. I go out and exercise in nature,” says the actress and model who is married to Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds. “I find ways to be physical where you’re also having an experience, because I’m very experience-orientated.”

Cameron Diaz: ‘Have Fun In The Bedroom’

Rihanna: ‘Hire A Trainer’

CAMERON is so body-confident that she even wrote a book about it. Inspired by her role in movie Sex Tape, the 41-year-old actress says the key to looking good is lots and lots of fun in the bedroom! “The fountain of youth for me is exercise, healthy diet, lots of water, lots of laughter and lots of sex – yes, sex! We need that as human beings. It’s healthy, it’s natural, it’s what we are here to do!”

I try to mix it up.”

THE VAMPIRE FACIAL

IT’S becoming one of the most sought-after treatments in Hollywood. Of course, Kim Kardashian has been the one promoting it the most on social media, but she’s not the only celebrity to have had the procedure done. Stars including Bar Refaeli, Gisele Bündchen and Lady Gaga are rumoured to have had the famous Vampire Facial, too.

What is it?

It was developed by Dr Charles Runels. This cosmetic, noninvasive procedure involves the re-injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), derived from the patient’s own blood, back into the skin on the face to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, and thus renew and rejuvenate the skin.

How is it done?

Blood is drawn from the arm and spun in a machine to remove the PRP. The plasma, used to rejuvenate the skin, is placed onto the patient’s face and micro-needled in. The same procedure can be done anywhere on the body to regenerate that tissue – great for stretch marks, surgical scarring and hair growth.

How long is the treatment?

Approximately 60 minutes, which includes drawing the blood, numbing the face with topical anaesthetic cream and injecting the PRP. Treatment Who should have it done?

Anyone who is looking to improve tone and skin texture, as well as restoring plumpness and fullness to the facial shape. It is also a successful treatment for acne and surgical scarring.

How often should one have a Vampire Facial?

One should have a treatment monthly, with four treatments recommended for best results.

What are the benefits, and are they immediate?

Results are visible three to 12 weeks post treatment and last for two years. Benefits include skin rejuvenation, reduction of fine lines and pigmentation, evening of skin tone and restoration of volume to the face.

Any dangers?

It is a risk-free procedure, as the plasma used is from one’s own blood. Maybe mild bruising or swelling post-procedure.

How can one prepare for it?

No aspirin or Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflamatory Drugs (NSAIDs) to be taken 10 days prior to the procedure.

Any tips or suggestions for patients pre- and post-treatment?

The face may be red and swollen on the day of the treatment, so the day should be booked off.

Is it popular in Hollywood? Why? This is a very popular treatment especially with Kim Kardashian and Gisele Bündchen, as it plumps the face, treats fine lines, and vastly improves the texture of the skin, restoring facial shape and elasticity.

How long is the treatment?

About 30-60 minutes.

Who should have it done?

Any female looking for a solution for dyspareunia (painful sex), improved orgasms, increased libido, a cure for urinary incontinence, increased lubrication, and a tighter vaginal opening.

How often should one have an O Shot?

Every 18 months to three years, depending on the patient.

What are the benefits, and are they immediate?

The O-Shot is revolutionising sexual health for women, and results are immediate for most individuals, with sexual pleasure able to be derived from the day of the procedure.

Any dangers?

The vaginal area will be slightly swollen immediately after the procedure.

How can one prepare for it?

2016’s Big Beauty Trends 3 1 SOME of Hollywood’s top doctors have revealed what 2016 has in store for aesthetics!

Mommy Makeovers

GIVING birth is beautiful – but not always on your body. According to sources, the mommy makeover is extremely popular – and has been for years. And while it used to be just about a little nip and tuck on the outside to get that post-baby body back into shape, women are now adding vaginal rejuvenation, with experts saying the, er, buzz is about to increase.

Smaller Breasts

WHILE ‘the bigger the better’ was the trend when Pamela Anderson started adding implants, many believe this is the year women will start downsizing when it comes to their breasts. International plastic surgeons feel that bigger breast implants are waning, adding that 39 percent of their female patients opt for smaller implants these days compared to patients in 2014. Women admire the celebrity cleavage of stars like Gwen Stefani, Kate Hudson and Rihanna.

Fillers For Ageing

FILLERS have been popular for years, and experts say there will be everexpanding uses for fillers in the future.

When it comes to ageing, people will do anything to reverse it.

7

Non-Surgical Fat Removal

2

Bigger Lips

WHILE the breasts are getting smaller, the lips, it seems, are still getting bigger – thanks mainly to stars like Kylie Jenner, who got people’s eyes popping with that mouth of hers. The popularity of pumped-up lips may have been big in 2015, but experts say 2016 will just get bigger and better, adding that this isn’t just a hype – 30 percent of dermatologists and 43 percent of facial plastic surgeons say they received a higher number of lip-related requests from women in 2015 compared to 2014.

4 5

Social Media Buzz

FACETIME, Skype and even selfies will continue to fuel the desire to have plastic surgery.

PEOPLE want to lose the fat, but many won’t go under the knife, say experts. And while a little healthy eating and regular exercise is probably the best recipe, sources say non-surgical fat removal will continue to rise in popularity as a method to remove the bulge without having to go under the blade.

More Male Patients

MORE and more men are booking an appointment with the plastic surgeon these days, say sources, who add that men are more into cosmetic procedures than ever.

DR KANARIS and people magazine are giving one lucky reader a chance to try out the Vampire Facial! The treatment is valued at R3 500. To enter, sms your details and the words ‘Vampire Facial’ to 48408. Closing date for entries is May 9.

Yummy Mommy To Be Beauty

BY CARLI PRINSLOO

TAMERIN JARDINE is getting ready to be a mom!

Tamerin and her fur baby, Michel

G

REEN Activist Tamerin Jardine is beautiful, fashionable and intelligent. She first stepped into the public eye as Miss Earth in 2012, but she has come such a long way since then! She’s been the ambassador for fashion brand Khosi Nkosi, has her own radio talk show on CliffCentral, plus she does tonnes of charitable work at animal shelters like Barking Mad and animal rehabilitation centres like Free Me. On top of that she has a law degree, which proves that she’s not just a pretty face. Now she is on the road to motherhood. She gave us the breakdown of what this new role means to her and what she looks forward to the most on her exciting new adventure.

How do you feel about becoming a mom for the first time?

People find me crazy but this will be my third born. My fur babies where my first two. But, to be honest, I am very nervous and excited to be having my own flesh and blood.

It’s not something that was planned, but God has a better plan and that’s my little girl.

What are you looking forward to most when becoming a mom?

The sleepless nights (hehe), no really I’m looking forward to meeting her and holding her for the first time. I think that moment will be incredible and obviously lifechanging.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed having to juggle your obligations to your radio show on CliffCentral, obligations to Khosi Nkosi and now your family?

No, not at all. I’m partnering with my current Pilates instructor and we are opening a Pilates and fitness studio in Riverside Shopping Centre in June; we will be called New Beginnings Pilates. So I will be even busier and juggling more than just my obligations for CliffCentral, Khosi Nkosi etc. Instead, falling pregnant has made me realise this industry is not consistent and it’s time to start building a company and business profile to provide for another person.

Tell us about your relationship with your mom.

My mom is my best friend and she is my pillar of strength. I hope my daughter and I have the relationship my mom and I have. However, we are totally different and I can see my mom and I clashing over certain beliefs and goals. Our moms will never stop being our moms, but when you have your own little one on the way, you’re the mom and your mom needs to realise it’s your own family you are building.

How do you celebrate Mother’s Day? I love Mother’s Day! It’s the one day I show my mommy extra love! We either do a pamper day – my mom, sister and I – or we wake up early, spend morning tea time together and just enjoy the day together spoiling my mom.

Finally, how are you staying in shape during your pregnancy?

A lot of Pilates with New Beginnings Pilates it’s great for keeping your lower stomach muscles engaged, and will help me with having a natural birth as my pelvic floor will be strong and ready and recovery will be quicker. It will help me get my post-baby body back.

Tamerin’s Motherhood Must-Haves “I HAVE had terrible 24-hour ‘morning’ sickness and am sensitive to certain smells. So my products have changed dramatically. These are my picks now.”

TAMERIN’S TIP: FOLIC acid is great for hair, nails and skin.

PHOTOGRAPHY: TAMIKA MILLER / HAIR: MONICA FROM CRIMSON SALON / MAKE-UP: CARLI PRINSLOO

What’s the most surreal part?

When we go for my scans it’s incredible to see that this little human is growing inside of me; I can sort of see what’s coming our way. Her nose and lips are mine, her forehead is a combination of her dad and me, but her feet are definitely her dad’s! I mean, she isn’t even born and we can see our little human developing! She is such a busy little body, she doesn’t stop moving. It’s beautiful feeling her, but not so much fun when she wakes you up !

DEAR DOC, MY lips are so dry. They tend to peel and then start bleeding. Is there are way to stop this happening? I’ve tried every lip balm available!

Lipbleeder DEAR LIPBLEEDER, YOUR lips only have thin surface layers of skin, so they’re more likely than the rest of your face to dry out. You lose up to 10 times more moisture through your lips than you do elsewhere on your face or body. Dry lips become so fragile that they develop tiny splits and cracks.

Licking only worsens the problem and you need to try to avoid it (even though it’s often an unconscious habit). As saliva evaporates, it dehydrates skin further. Saliva also contains acids that help break down food. Those acids can irritate compromised lip skin.

Another common mistake is scrubbing, peeling, or biting off skin flakes. Picking at the already-thin skin of the lips can lead to bleeding and severe discomfort. This slows the healing process and irritates the skin further.

Try an emollient balm rather than a waxy ointment. The goal is to seal in moisture and get extra hydration. That barrier will also help seal deep cracks and splits from infection and irritation.

It doesn’t have to be a lip balm specifically in order to work.

Vaseline is a good option. Alternatively, look for moisturisers containing ingredients castor seed oil, shea butter, sunflower seed oil, hyaluronic acid, or glycerin. Eucerin Aquaphor lip repair and Elizabeth Arden eight-hour lip balm are good options if you can afford them.

DEAR DOC, I’M a mother of a healthy 10-year-old boy. Both of his brothers started developing serious acne at age 12 or 13. Is it too early for him to begin a skincare routine? When is the right time?

Prevention Better Than Cure DEAR PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE, ROUTINE skincare can be undertaken as soon as your son is able to take up the responsibility and maintain the habit. If he can make it a habit – like brushing his teeth – he’s more likely to keep it up. Getting any teenage boy to moisturise is a pain.

It’s important to understand that acne is largely a hormonal condition, and whilst aggravated by oily skin, is not caused by a poor skincare routine. I would start him on something simple like using Dove cream bar to wash his face in the morning and evening. Avoid scrubbing the face. Pat the face dry using a clean face cloth – don’t let him use his body towel.

Make sure he doesn’t squeeze or pick at any pores or acne.

If he gets a pimple or two then get some over-the-counter bezoyl peroxide gel to use as spot treatment. Washing his face more frequently can actually make the problem worse – so it’s all about moderation. If his skin breaks out I suggest getting expert help sooner rather than later. Teenage boys can really suffer with bad skin and the self esteem issues which can follow.

 GAL prioritised other factors surrounding her workout, like adequate sleep and good nutrition.

THE GREAT VACCINATE OPINIONS on the subject are strongly divided.

T

HE anti-vaccination movement is gaining momentum in South Africa at a huge pace, and it’s drawing debate from all sides. Should we be vaccinating our kids, or is it all a conspiracy to poison our children? Celebrities that have added their voices to the anti-vaccination movement include stars like Charlie Sheen, Jenny McCarthy, Kirstie Alley, Jim Carrey and even the US presidential hopeful Donald Trump.

“Unvaccinated people put themselves and their community at risk,” says Dr Nicole Holland, a medical professional.

Most babies are vaccinated at routine checkups according to immunisation schedules.

According to Dr Holland, “Some parents choose not vaccinate their children while others may forget to keep their appointments.” With that, vitally important vaccines are skipped. “Some vaccinations are done at schools to immunise older kids who may have fallen through public health cracks.”

But the anti-vaccine movement is about more than just forgetfulness.

to this conclusion, and the movement gained a following when uninformed celebrities picked up on the craze.”

According to Meer, the diseases against which we vaccinate against have not been completely eradicated, but some are not found in South Africa anymore due to vaccine coverage. A lack of vaccine coverage, however, could allow these diseases to come back and become a total epidemic. One such case was in 2015, when a diphtheria outbreak occurred in rural KwaZulu-Natal due to a lack of vaccine coverage in that region.

Some illnesses we need to vaccinate against include polio (a viral diseases that can cause complete leg and muscle paralysis), rotavirus (which can be deadly in the youth), hepatitis B (a severe liver infection), tetanus (an infection causing muscle spasms, which can prevent breathing and cause lockjaw), meningococcal disease (which can cause meningitis), and measles and mumps (which can lead to deafness, infertility and meningitis).

Meer mentions that there are some people who are unable to vaccinated. “These include very young infants, children born with immune-deficiencies and people undergoing chemotherapy.” There are also some who might be allergic to some ingredients in the vaccine, but Meer says that this is a rare occurrence.

“Sometimes a specific vaccine will have a contra-indication, like not being vaccinated while you are pregnant, or within a certain age range.” Meer says that it’s best to check with your health professional in these circumstances.

So, what’s the worst that could happen if you don’t vaccinate your child?

Firstly, Dr Holland says, you are putting a burden on the public – of which you and your children are a part. “If you have a community where you have many people vaccinated, it [the disease] won’t go much further. But if you go into a naïve community which hasn’t been vaccinating, you’ll see epidemic-like outbreaks.”

Diseases like smallpox, Dr Holland explains, have been successfully eradicated – but a lower pool of unvaccinated people could mean a resurgence of these diseases. “The risks

Many proponents of the anti-vaccina movement claim that vaccinations ca to autism. One of the main reasons f opposition seems to be a misconcept what vaccines are and how they wor Put simply, Dr Holland says that a vac stimulates a person’s immune-respo pathogen. “We’re giving a non-harm of the germ so that the body can dev antibodies and be prepared if it mee thing. This can be a small protein fro bacteria or a killed or live, harmless v the pathogen.” This then prepares th when it encounters the disease again Faheem Meer, a final year medical st says that vaccination relies on a concept called ‘herd immunity’. “The idea behind herd immunity is that if we vaccinate lots of people, we exponentially reduce the ability of a disease to spread, and even those who are unable to be vaccinated are protected.” He compares this to giving 99 percent of the world umbrellas, leaving the other one percent protected from the rain by the overlap created by all the others.

Vaccinating, says Meer, is a way to teach your body to prepare for specific diseases – for which the consequences can be severe – without contracting the actual disease. “Your immune system then encounters these, learns about them and prepares to recognise them so that if they return they’ll be quickly identified and eliminated.

The anti-vaccine movement is complicated.

Supporters have to keep changing their arguments as their claims keep getting debunked,” says Faheem.

“The general basis for this kind of movement is the conspiracy market, being easily convinced by scaremongering articles on the Internet and a distrust of anything ‘artificial’ for no reason.”

Meer goes on to say, “The anti-vaccine movement gained some weight when Andrew Wakefield, a medical researcher, published a

unvaccinated people are immense,” she emphasises.

But can kids get sick from vaccines? “People are worried about encephalitis or autism, but that’s unfounded,” says Dr Holland.

She says that there can be minor side-effects like a slight fever or a localised reaction, but stresses that ‘the benefits outweigh the risks’.

Meer echoes the point that these infections tend to be minor, and says that sometimes people just get sick at a time coinciding with a vaccination being administered.

Some vaccines can be given later on in life. If your parents were anti-vaccers and you have to go to abroad with a vaccination card, for instance, or you stepped on a rusty nail and require a tetanus vaccine.

When it comes to those who can’t vaccinate at all, it seems that those suffering from severe immune-deficiencies should speak to their doctor first. But Meer says that people should remember that there’s a difference between children who have severe immune deficiencies (of which one of the most dire ones is known as severe combined immunodeficiency or SCID) and those who get sick a little more often than other people.

Science appears to be unequivocal on the subject: vaccinate your children. Dr Holland says that it comes down to the ancient medical principal: Do no harm. “On a global scale, it’s safer to take the vaccine. Not vaccinating is like saying you don’t want to wear a safety belt because it’s a little uncomfortable. Look long-term and take a strategy that’s an insurance policy for you, your family, and the public.”

What About The Flu Vaccine?

WE’VE all seen the flu-vaccine advertised at the local pharmacy and sat on the fence on whether or not we should get jabbed.

Meer says that it’s worth bracing for the flu season, especially if you are in regular contact with the elderly or young children. This means that those working in old age homes, hospitals and schools need to be especially on guard. “Flu vaccines are updated yearly, so you are covered for a broad spectrum of diseases which we call ‘flu’. It’s important to note that you can’t get flu from the flu vaccine!”

Your Vaccine Checklist

EXPERTS agree that children should get all of the vaccines which appear on the Road to Health Card; these are part of the South African National Vaccine Schedule. According to Gems.gov.za, these are part of the national vaccine schedule:  Polio  Tuberculosis  Diphtheria  Whooping Cough or Pertussis  Tetanus

 Hepatitis B  Meningitis/Severe Pneumonia  Measles  Mumps  Rubella (German Measles)

PRIL’S almost up. Interest rates are up. In fact, bottom line is everything is up, and most of us are feeling the pinch. What’s your big plan to combat ever-increasing food, petrol, utility and other interest rate hikes this year?

“Judging from the general unrest that’s bubbling under the surface with regard to everything from the price of meat to annual tertiary education fees increasing, it’s obvious that most South Africans are feeling the pressure on their personal finances now more than ever,” says Derek Wilson, head of Hippo.co.za, South Africa’s online insurance and financial services comparison website. “Fortunately, there are many ways to cut costs if you just apply yourself, shop smartly, hunt around for the best possible deals and make your finances a priority.”

Derek has some ideas on how to make your budget go just that little bit further this year. Remember, a couple of minor tweaks, he says, could have changed a very famous ship’s course entirely and saved it from sinking.

For many of us, grocery shopping takes up a large chunk of the monthly budget.

It’s always a good idea to shop around. Planning is everything so make a list of everything you buy in a typical month. This will make it easier to work out where you can make cuts. Supermarkets often have specials on specific brands that only last for a week, so make note of them and compare, compare, compare.

Vouchers, special offers and cashback deals were invented to make you spend more, not less. Never buy something you don’t need just because it’s on offer.

Always think carefully before making a purchase – especially if it’s expensive.

If you really need something, then go ahead, but if you really want something, sleep on it.

A lot of retailers are willing to put their money where their mouth is, especially when it comes to beating a competitor’s prices. Don’t be afraid to mention that you could probably find a cheaper deal elsewhere. Retailers don’t want you to leave their store, and nine out of 10 times they will drop their price – chaching! Loyalty is good, but money talks at the end of the day. It’s a good idea to compare everything from hairdressers, doctors, florists and Internet Service Providers to nail technicians, mechanics, domestic services and plumbers.

There’s no harm in shopping around.

When shopping around for big-ticket items like cars, compare dealerships as well as brands. If you hunt around enough, you could find a better deal. Work a non-negotiable savings plan into your budget. You need to have quick access to spare cash in case of the ‘what if’s.

When it comes to online comparison sites, there are many available on the market that allow you to compare everything from restaurants and hotels to car rental deals and flights. With Hippo.co.za alone, you can compare across the board from products like insurance, life and medical, finances and home and utilities to travel, business and motoring – all at your fingertips.

Planning a holiday? Remember that negotiation is the lifeblood of the travel industry. Its products are time-sensitive: a room left empty one night or an airline seat that isn’t filled can’t be resold the next day. So, especially if you are booking at the last minute, do bargain. The price of flights varies considerably depending on the month, day and even time of travel. Avoiding the weekends can make a huge impact on the price of flights. Travel off-season and you’re sure to find better deals. If you have to travel in the school holidays, go for the latest possible date. When you are booking your holiday, make sure you look at the very bottom line.

It’s always a good idea to give your entire financial portfolio an overhaul. See where you can cut out the middleman, and compare before you buy. You don’t even have to leave your house to do this (saving you time and petrol) as most providers offer online services with real-time solutions. One in two people could save hundreds of Rands per month on their car Insurance alone by using free comparison websites. Imagine how much money you could potentially save if you compare more than just your car Insurance.

The Bowling Ball Facial Tumour

A TEACHER had a bowling-ball-sized tumour removed from her face – after it grew for 14 years and prevented her from moving her head!

L

ALAO, 50, thought nothing of the small bump, which appeared on her right cheek more than a decade ago. But over the years, it swelled in size to the point where it weighed 5kg and prevented her from turning her head.

The mom-of-four, from Madagascar off the south-east coast of Africa, sought help from local doctors – but sadly, there was nothing they could do.

Desperate, she queued for eight hours to ask a team of experts if surgeons onboard a medical ship – which was sailing in – could remove the mass, which resembled a large bag of marbles.

The school teacher says, “When I started to queue for help, there were about 200 people ahead of me, all with disabilities and conditions I’d never seen before. I

wondered if they could treat people like me, but I thought, ‘Even if I have to be in line for two weeks, I’m going to wait’.”

Lalao first noticed the benign tumour on her face more than a decade ago.

As it didn’t hurt or attract any comments, she thought nothing more of it, assuming it would disappear in time.

“The people in my village know me and my husband, Albert, well, and so they looked beyond my appearance,” she says.

However, over time it grew bigger and bigger until she had to wrap a scarf around it to hide it.

Eventually, she couldn’t even turn her head to the right and found it difficult to sleep.

Lalao now has her face back – after 14 years!

Lalao and her husband, Albert a further R1 800 to be added to another list for surgery.

But again, she was told surgeons couldn’t perform the procedure to remove the tumour.

By now, after 14 years, the tumour had grown so vast it weighed almost 6.5kg.

“I gave up hope,” Lalao says. “I thought I would never get help. We had no money and I was deeply discouraged.”

Her husband, though, was determined his wife would be treated, especially after they learned a baby from their village, who’d also had a tumour, had successfully had it removed.

The baby had been treated by the charity Mercy Ships, whose hospital ship sails around Africa providing free life-saving surgery to people where medical care is nearly non-existent.

The couple watched a TV programme about the organisation and Lalao went to a screening day in Antananarivo, the capital city of Madagascar, to see if she was eligible for treatment.

She recalled, “I went, and the queue of people waiting to be seen was endless. So I came back the next day and again, hundreds of people were ahead of me in line.”

Lalao joined the queue at three in the morning, and eight hours later relayed her medical history to a team of experts.

Her face was examined and within 90 minutes

she had an appointment card for surgery onboard a Mercy Ships vessel. Her family had to sell a pig to pay for transport to the ship.

But after so much disappointment, a happy ending was in sight.

She was admitted on November 30, 2015 and surgery was two days later.

Surgeons removed the tumour in one go.

“The next morning, I just woke and it was gone,” she says. “Finally l was free of that big mass.”

Lalao’s husband added, “I was so happy when she came back from the operating room that I cried. It was amazing that they could remove the growth in one surgery.”

After just a few days, Lalao’s face showed improvement.

Now, she is feeling healthy and looking forward to getting her life back on track.

“I feel very, very happy. I’m in good health and now I can turn my neck,” she says.

“I’m looking forward to returning to teaching and being able to help work on the family farm when I’m stronger, too.”

Lalao remained onboard the Mercy Ship vessel for two weeks.

She and her husband adds, “We will share this story and tell people Mercy Ships removed the tumour.

And if you have this kind of problem, they can help you too. We thank everyone who took care of us.”

LUNGISWA from Edgars escalated my complaint when I had ongoing problems with Edgars and their accounts department. They had been deducting money from my account for many months and I couldn’t get it sorted out. I hope it is now sorted for good thanks to her efforts.

Helene, Johannesburg THANK YOU to everyone who buys an extra item, no matter for which charity, and puts it in the collection trolleys at the supermarkets. Together we can all help just a little bit to make life brighter.

Has JonBenét’s Killer Be R

BY VANESSA PAPAS

l Lif

COULD the brutual murder of JonBenét Ramsey have finally been solved, or are latest claims yet another conspiracy?

F

OR the last two decades the haunting murder of six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey has remained one of the world’s greatest crime

mysteries.

Now, a private investigator hired by JonBenét’s parents at the time of the killing has stepped forward, claiming to have made a major breakthrough in the chilling case. He claims the 26-year-old son of a scrap yard owner who committed suicide two days after JonBenét’s murder is the monster who sexually assaulted the little girl before bludgeoning her on the head and brutally strangling her to death.

The detective is now trying to convince the police to find alleged killer Michael Helgoth’s accomplices, who he believes are still walking the streets.

The tragic tale of the death of the princess has been told countless times, dissected at each and every angle and spun more conspiracy theories than one can count. JonBenét’s body was found in the basement of her parents’ home on Christmas in 1996, several hours after her parents – wealthy businessman John and socialite mom Patsy – realised their daughter was missing. Her wrists had been tied above her head and duct tape stretched over her mouth to muffle her screams. John and Patsy, along with JonBenét’s nine-year-old brother, Burke, became prime suspects in the case, and, despite DNA clearing them of any involvement, to this day many believe they played a role in the child’s tragic death.

JonBenét was a child beauty pageant star with several title wins to her name and a trophy cabinet bursting at the hinges. With big blue eyes, long blonde locks and a smile that could light up a room, she had all the makings of a pageant princess and was a firm favourite to win every time she paraded down runways.

Not only was she beautiful, but she was also talented and smart, excelling at school and popular among her classmates. On the ramp she exuded a sophistication beyond her years, but when not wearing heavy make-up and provocative costumes that cost thousands of dollars, JonBenét was just like any other little girl who loved playing dress-up and ‘house’ with her dolls.

Police found her body in the basement of the family home about eight hours after JonBenét was reported missing. There were tantalising clues around the house – a footprint, a broken window, some DNA evidence – all sparking wall-to-wall tabloid coverage of the case. Many leads came rushing in and arrests were swift, but each case failed to produce a positive conviction. Throughout the years there have been many suspects believed to have played

a role in the child’s death. In August 2006, a 41-year-old school teacher, John Mark Karr, confessed to murdering JonBenét. He claimed that he had drugged her and sexually assaulted her but also claimed that her death was an accident. However, DNA samples taken from Karr did not match DNA found on JonBenét’s body and prosecutors announced that no charges would be filed against Karr for the murder. For a long time law enforcement agencies suspected JonBenét’s family.

However, they were partially exonerated in 2003 when DNA taken from the victim’s clothes suggested they were not involved. Her parents were not completely cleared until July 2008.

In February 2009, police took the case back from the District Attorney and reopened the investigation.

On April 10 this year, tabloids across the globe announced JonBenét’s killer was finally known. A private investigator named Ollie Gray – who was initially hired by the Ramsey family but continued the investigation on his own along with a team of detectives – says his 20-year-long obsession with finding JonBenét’s killer has finally come to a head.

He believes he has solved the case, and has pinned the murder on a deeply troubled man named Michael Helgoth, who was 26 at the time of JonBenét’s death and lived a stone’s throw away from the Ramsey home. Gray also claims that Helgoth didn’t work alone and that there are still two to three unnamed accomplices who have literally got away with murder. Police, however, are not convinced.

The basis of Gray’s claims centre on a video tape on which Helgoth allegedly confessed to killing JonBenét. The tape, however, has yet to be located – planting seeds of doubt in the minds of many as to whether this tape actually exists, and, even if it does, whether Helgoth falsely confessed on the tape to committing the crime. It is also strange, say police, that the allegations about a tape come to light just a few months before the 20-year-anniversary of JonBenét’s killing – a sure way of Gray getting mass publicity. “At this stage it’s all just speculation,” say police. “There is no concrete evidence and no DNA confirmation either that Helgoth was involved in any way in JonBenét’s death. In fact, what we can say for certain is that Helgoth’s DNA does not match the DNA profile sitting in the Denver crime lab. It could very well all be just another round of media speculation and public hysteria.”

Meanwhile, police are continuing to pursue their own leads and are hoping the DNA profile that’s in hand will one day lead to the cracking of this case.

HUMANITY BETRAYED

PICS: GREATSTOCK/ MAGAZINE FEATURES

BY WARREN ROBERTSON

ONE political accusation has torn South Sudan apart, and it’s the women who are paying the price.

S

HE is called Elizabeth, because she is too afraid to give her own name, even though she now lives in the supposedly safe UN Bentiu Protection of Civilians (PoC) camp some 300km from her home village in South Sudan. In calm measured tones she tells her story to a small group of foreigners clustered around her in the long hut she shares with dozens of other women.

“Women are not safe in South Sudan,” she begins, “Not even now in this UN-protected encampment.”

She explains just what life has been like for her and the thousands of other women in Unity Province.

She tells of friends, relatives, and strangers being attacked, beaten, raped, sometimes enslaved, and often burnt alive right in front of her. The carnage she describes is barely conceivable, but it is not a lie.

South Sudan’s current war, which started in December 2013 over a political feud between President Salva Kiir Mayardit, a man of Dinka descent, and his former vice president, Riek Machar, who is a Nuer. Kiir accused his former deputy of planning a coup, setting off a cycle of retaliatory killings that split the poverty-stricken country along ethnic lines and drove it into civil war.

The conflict has been dominated not so much

44 PEOPLE

www.peoplemagazine.co.za

by fierce battles between government and opposition forces, as by brutal attacks on civilians, like Elizabeth, often because of their ethnicity. Starting with round-ups and a massacre of the Nuer in Juba, the conflict has spiralled into a series of revenge and counter-attacks on ethnic Dinka, Nuer, and other communities, plunging the country into a human rights and humanitarian crisis.

According to Human Rights Watch, the systematic nature of the destruction and pillage, and the brutality of the attacks on civilians, strongly suggests that attacks were intended to displace the populations from those villages and settlements.

In the face of invading militias or government forces, men, both the peaceful and military, have often fled the villages, leaving women, children and the elderly to suffer the most abuse at the hands of armies on both sides of the conflict.

A recent UN report on South Sudan outlines the horrors being inflicted on women in that country, and calls it ‘one of the most horrendous human rights situations in the world’. In a country where rape comes with the

worst stigma and the vast majority of sexual assaults go unreported, more than 1 300 rape cases were recorded in Unity, just one of South Sudan’s states, over a five-month period last year, the report said.

One woman told the UN investigators she had been stripped naked, raped by five soldiers in front of her children on the roadside, then raped again by more men in the bushes only to return and find her children missing.

At its height, the war saw armed government forces invading towns believed to be home to the IO Liberation Army. There the armed men would pillage cattle and burn homes and food stocks, leaving women with little choice but to leave their home areas in order to survive and to feed and shelter their families. In a few instances displaced people told Human Rights Watch that fighters explicitly told them to leave, or threatened to return and burn homes they rebuilt. In many instances the fighters threatened to kill the women they found. The widespread occurrence of rape and gruesome killings in public, wherein fighters often pursued civilians into the areas where they were hiding to butcher them, also suggests that the forces were trying to spread fear in the communities and push them away from villages.

President Salva Kiir Mayardit with the elderly thrown into huts lit on fire to be burned alive. The bodies hanging in trees outside villages remain as a stark reminder of what happens to those who refuse to tell the soldiers where the cattle are.

The theft of tens of thousands of cattle presents a particularly devastating blow to livelihoods, given that cattle are the wealth and backbone of economic survival for Unity state’s Nuer communities. Large parts of key towns and essential civilian infrastructure such as clinics, hospitals, and schools, have been looted, destroyed, and abandoned, making it impossible for communities to reform and leaving the women, children and elderly vulnerable to continuing attacks.

Isolated, alone or separated into small groups, they become easy targets.

Former Vice President Riek Machar These defenceless, tired women make ideal targets for the soldiers on both sides of this ugly conflict.

Stories of attacks, assaults and murders are common. Last June, Elizabeth set out with six other women to collect firewood. By walking together, the women tried to reassure themselves they had some semblance of security. When they reached the forest, they collected the fuel they needed and then turned back for the three-hour journey home. On the way, a group of soldiers spotted them and began to close in. The defenceless women ran for their lives. Elizabeth, who is middle-aged, slipped and fell.

“The men saw me. I am an old woman, and they ran after a young woman,” she says. “When they ran after her, I hid in the bush.” For the entire night Elizabeth waited in the dark, nursing a hurt knee and hoping her life would be spared. The next morning she managed to make it back to the PoC unharmed.

“It was terrible,” she recalls. “I didn’t think I would make it back without being hurt.”

But the other women were not as fortunate. The young woman the soldiers chased was caught, raped, and killed, Elizabeth explains. Another was raped, but managed to escape.

This is all taking place in a country supposedly at peace. After the heaviest assaults occurred in the middle of 2015, government and rebel forces met to broker a ceasefire and peace deal, which was signed in August. Far from stabilising the country, however, this agreement has only led to the war morphing into a series of smaller attacks and counter-attacks, as formal armies break up into roving bands of thugs, criminals and petty militias who are principally driven by local agendas and motivated by revenge. Government forces, who initially lead offensives against the IO Liberation Army, more often now play a secondary role to armed youth in tracksuits who traverse the countryside raping and stealing as a form of informal ‘payment’.

“Credible sources indicate groups allied to the government are being allowed to rape women in lieu of wages but opposition groups and criminal gangs have also been preying on women and girls,” the UN report said. A quarter of the country, roughly 2.8-million people, needs aid, while in war-torn northern areas 40 000 are being starved to death, with violence blocking desperately needed supplies.

Tens of thousands of people, like Elizabeth, are still sheltering in United Nations compounds, too afraid to return home.

‘I LIVED WITH MY SON’S KILLER!’

Jeannette Hernandez Castro on trial

Esteban Rojo Hernandez was murdered by his mother

A TALE of murder and deceit.

F

OR almost two years, Pablo Enrique Rojo Rodriguez, a 43-year-old car parts salesman who moonlights in computer programming, didn’t know he was married to a murderer. But he defended his wife when police suspected she was a killer. He believed Jeanette Hernandez Castro, 41, was innocent of murdering their seven-year-old son – until he could no longer ignore her lies. Twenty-one months after the slaying, as Jeanette sat in a Chilean jail, he finally realised that she did it in a jealous rage to hurt him.

The mother of two was convicted of murder (filicide) and sentenced to 32 years behind bars in Santiago, Chile.

“What attracted me to Jeanette was her free-spirited, fun-loving personality. It’s unlike mine. I’m quiet, reserved, serious minded and very meticulous.

We started dating in our early 20s and soon married, had a son, Pablito, and seven years later, a second son, Esteban. I felt like the happiest man in the world.

We had a good life, vacationing in Chilean mountains in San Jose de Maipo and celebrating birthdays and holidays in grand style with music and lots of food.

The only thorn in our relationship was Jeanette’s extreme jealously.

‘You smell like perfume’, she’d say when I got home from work. Other times, she’d sniff around my ears or my clothes and say, ‘You smell like cigarettes’.

Sometimes, she’d stare at me, wrinkle her brow and accuse me of having a woman’s red rouge smudged on my face.

‘Who are you dating at work?’ she’d ask curiously.

‘How could that be Jeanette, and you know I don’t smoke. I’m not dating anyone’, I’d answer.

She wouldn’t listen. She even disguised herself with wigs and dark glasses to spy on me at work. I tried to convince her she was mistaken, but it was no use. So I learned to ignore her and let her rant.

48 PEOPLE

www.peoplemagazine.co.za

Although Jeanette’s insane jealously fuelled our fights during our nine years of marriage, I tolerated it for the boys’ sake. I didn’t want to break up our family.

I believed marriage is forever. Besides, I loved and trusted her. We’d built a life together.

I also loved music, and music drew me to the voice of another woman.

While waiting for my wife to finish work at a beauty salon, I heard a woman’s beautiful voice humming a familiar tune. I’m a musician and play Latin rock music on the drums.

‘I know that song’, I remarked.

‘You do?’ the woman asked.

‘Yes, and you have a very pretty voice’, I answered.

We started chatting and she explained that she was nervous about an audition for a television variety show. I told Jeanette about her and she suggested that I invite Miriam Pena Duarte to our home to help with the audition. I had great sound equipment.

We became quick friends and soon got jobs playing at weddings and birthday parties.

Jeanette didn’t like it and insisted that I stop seeing Miriam. I refused at first, but life became unbearable so I relented. Miriam and I were not romantically involved.

Jeanette became increasingly unstable. She stole money from a blue box I kept locked up in our bedroom and refused to tell me what she did with it. I’d been saving to buy a used SUV to transport my musical equipment. She failed to make 11 monthly mortgage payments on our two-bedroom house in the Puente Alto section of Santiago. Then she lied and said that a robber raped her and took off with the money.

She left suicide notes around the house saying that she was sorry for what she was about to do.

Depressed and frustrated, I secretly got in touch with Miriam again. I bought her a watch and Jeanette wanted revenge when she found out.

I can’t say that Jeanette wasn’t a good mother, but she was selfish. She always came first, whether it was food or new clothes, she took priority. Yet, she was sweet to the children, especially the younger.

Esteban, seven, was the apple of our eye. Strikingly handsome and very smart, he was comical, a quick learner, and artistic even in the Second Grade. By the time he was five or six years old, he could tap out unusual note combinations on the drums.

Pablito, 15, is more of a homebody. Tall, barrelchested and bespectacled, he likes to sleep and eat.

He’s also intelligent, but a bit lazier. He has innate musical talent and learned to play the acoustic guitar in three months.

The day our lives were turned upside down, Jeanette stayed home in the morning with the boys who were

facebook.com/peoplemagsa

on school break; I went to work.

She called me at 11h00. and I answered tersely because we had argued. I agreed to pick her up from work at 20h00.

She closed the beauty salon at 20h30 and was unusually talkative. ‘We’ve got to get home because the boys are alone’, I urged.

She was stalling. ‘Let’s stop by the butcher so that I can buy some meat for tonight’s dinner’, she remarked. Then, she went window shopping.

When we arrived at 21h00 in our neighbourhood, she stopped at a grocery store for a soft drink and started speaking to a neighbour.

‘Let’s go’, I said. ‘The kids are alone’.

Once home, I chatted with a neighbour outside while Jeanette opened the front door.

‘The children!’ she screamed softly before rushing back out. ‘It’s awful’, she said quietly. I heard her calmly say (to Pablito), ‘Don’t fall asleep! Don’t fall asleep!’

I ran in the house and saw Pablito lying on a gray couch with his eyes open covered in blood. The television was on and he could only move his right arm, motioning for help.

I noticed the house in shambles with papers and clothes strewn about. My sense was that there had been a break-in and that the robber knew us.

In the panic, I forgot about Esteban. Five or six minutes passed before I shouted: ‘Where’s Esteban?

Where’s Esteban?’ I climbed the stairs and spotted Esteban’s little foot on the floor between two beds in his room.

Cradling him in my arms, I wept because he was ice cold and I knew he was dead.

I later learned that both boys had been clobbered multiple Miriam Duarte

times on the right side of their heads with a household hammer sometime around 11h00. Esteban didn’t survive because he was smaller and weaker than his brother. Pablo was left unconscious; the hammer was never recovered.

After the ambulance took Pablito to hospital, Jeanette and I followed him in my car. She was stoic; I sobbed.

Jeanette adamantly claimed her innocence to police.

At first she said our house had been erroneously selected by gangsters who thought they were robbing a nearby home known for selling drugs.

Then she said her Aunt Raquel attacked Pablito and murdered Esteban. Later, she accused two men whom she said tried to rob her in the beauty salon. She also claimed the killer was a 16-yearold friend of Esteban whom she’d met earlier in the day, then a man who visited our home a few months before, then the owner of the beauty salon where she worked and a neighbourhood man known only as ‘The Giraffe’.

At one point, she implied that I could have done it.

Still, I never suspected her.

At Esteban’s funeral, I held Jeanette close and cried.

She was stoic.

Police questioned her several times. I didn’t know what evidence they had against her and they wouldn’t tell me. I did know that there had been no forced entry, nothing was stolen, the murder weapon hadn’t been recovered and that there were only the family’s fingerprints.

For six months they investigated nine suspects, including a gardener, friends of the family, a member of my rock band, my step-brother and a Peruvian man who lives nearby. Everyone was cleared, including me, which forced them to take a second look at Jeanette.

‘Talk to your wife’, a police investigator advised me many months after the attack. ‘Tell her to be totally honest with us – to tell us what she knows’. Jeanette answered that she had nothing more to contribute.

Meanwhile, Pablito was in critical condition. He had suffered cranial encephalic trauma. The injury not only Pablo Rojo and surviving son Pablito caused neurological damage that made him lose his memory and ability to speak, he was also unable to walk or use his arms.

It took about two and a half years for Pablito to learn to read, write and speak again.

He still speaks slowly. He has feeling in his left arm, but it’s totally paralysed and he will never play the guitar again.

Almost one year after the attack, while we were at my parents’ house visiting Pablito, five policemen came knocking at the door to arrest Jeanette. I was stunned. Pablito, who was in another room, didn’t realise it until the following day, when he managed to peek into his aunt’s room and saw the news on television about her arrest.

He wasn’t surprised. Months later, he remarked, ‘It could have been mama!’ I didn’t question him, not even when he told my sister that he

remembered one thing about the attack.

‘I heard her say, “The glasses flew far,” Pablito told my sister. Pablito, who wears glasses, said he was dozing when he heard his mother’s remark about his glasses flying into the air just seconds before he was knocked unconscious.

Jeanette was charged with murdering Esteban and attempting to murder Pablito.

Despite that, I defended her and visited her in jail, religiously. ‘Don’t worry, you’ll be out of here soon’.

Months into her incarceration, Jeanette told me she wanted to change her story about a man who raped her. She’d initially claimed that her alleged rapist was the killer, then she withdrew that statement.

‘That rapist, it’s true what I said about him’, she insisted. ‘I told the prosecutor and detectives that he wasn’t the one who did it (murdered Esteban), but he was’.

‘You’re sick,’ I responded furiously. ‘You’re here (in jail) for almost a year and now you say that what you previously denied is now true. You’re toying with the police, with Pablito, with me, with everyone. You have to tell the truth’.

That was the moment that I knew she’d been lying all along, that she was so narcissistic, she’d say anything to control me. She knew I’d suffer horribly if the kids were hurt.

From that day on, I never spoke to her or visited her again.

Less than three months later, a court found her guilty of murder and attempted murder and sentenced her to life in prison. The sentence was reduced on appeal to 32 years behind bars.

She sobbed, testifying that she was shocked when she saw Pablito covered in blood. She said the real murderer was her alleged rapist whom she claimed extorted money from her for two years.

With my back towards her, I testified for four hours about my sons, our marriage and Jeanette’s jealous rages.

The prosecution argued that Jeanette was the last one to see the boys alive, that she arrived late to work, that she changed her blood-stained clothes, that she gave contradictory statements about possible suspects and never grieved her loss.

‘There is no grieving, no sorrow, no desire for justice, only resentment against her husband’, Prosecutor Pablo Sabaj told the court. He said it was extraordinary that she wasn’t psychologically impacted by Esteban’s violent death and Pablito’s severe injuries.

According to the defence, Jeanette was psychologically disturbed and unable to commit the crimes.

However, a psychiatrist testifying for the prosecution deemed her perfectly capable of murder despite her personality disorder. Dr Italo Sigala described her as suicidal, narcissistic, prone to histrionics, paranoia, manipulation and an ability to disassociate herself from reality.

Jeanette is serving her sentence at Woman’s Central Penitentiary. I never want to see her again.

Although Pablito’s left arm is paralysed and he drags his left foot, he seems happy and well-adjusted. We have a wonderful relationship and we’re so grateful to have each other.

Miriam and I now live together and Pablito has accepted her as family. The only thing good that’s come of this is that I’ve found a soul mate. I didn’t know a woman could be so kind and generous.”

‘THERE had been no forced entry, nothing was stolen, the murder weapon hadn’t been recovered and there were only the family’s fingerprints.’

THIS reader shares how she had to walk away from her toxic relationship.

TOLD BY ANONYMOUS / EDITED BY EUGENIA BOOI

“A

T 24 I started teaching at a high school. This was where I met *James. He was a student in one of my classes. The first day I saw him, he was wearing an earring (something that is prohibited by the school). I thought he was the cutest thing I had ever seen and loved him instantly. It was a combination of different types of love – a bit motherly mixed with what I would call a Godly type of love.

We became friends – a strange thing for a student and his teacher. The next year I moved to another school. I asked James for his phone number and he gave it to me. Now we could visit regularly. His parents were very open-minded about their boy’s relationship with a woman 10 years older than him. Our relationship was purely platonic at that stage due to my beliefs and the age difference.

I would take James to movies and go-carting, and even took him to the Lost City for a day. I bought him lots of sweets and goodies. I have never felt such a love for anyone before.

There were other factors that complicated things.

He was on drugs and I am a passionate follower of Christ, which means that I don’t believe in premarital sex (or any type of fooling around for that matter) or drinking alcohol.

I don’t know when he eventually fell in love with me, but he was only 15 when it happened for me.

He started seeing girls and would tell everything about what went on to me in detail. It hurt very much.

When I was 27 years old I got a Christian boyfriend. At that stage James had been out of my life for about four years. When he called me after such a long time my boyfriend and I broke up.

For the first time ever James and I openly confessed our love for one other, but now he was on heroin. My parents said that I was not allowed to be in his life anymore.

I went to a pastor to ask whether I was to obey my parents in this matter. He told me that because I was over 21 I did not have to obey them anymore. At some stages I would be convinced that it was fine with God for me and James to be

in each other’s lives, and at other stages I would feel that is was wrong for me to disobey my parents.

One day James phoned me and begged me to help him get off drugs. He was crying and said that he could feel that he was going to die in the next few days if he doesn’t stop. At that stage I was living a five-hour drive away from him.

I went to fetch him and with my parents gone on holiday we had the house all to ourselves. James had brought along some sleeping pills and other pills to help him with the withdrawals. We had fights every day. I was scared he would overdose and he got angry whenever I did not want to give him more pills. Staying with him was also tempting in other ways, but I did not fall...

After a month I went to his home for Christmas.

I decided to stay with his family for a while to help him try and stay clean since the temptations were much more in the city.

On New Year’s James invited over some of his old druggie friends. I knew it was a bad idea. It was the worst day of my life. They took him to go fetch some stuff and I just lost it. He chose their side and said he never wanted to see my face again.

I took my things and went to stay with my brother.

A few months went by until we got together again. This time we were talking marriage. We discussed getting married without letting my parents know. Sometimes he was game and other times he would chicken out and say that he was still too young.

I started noticing how often he would lie to me about stuff. Absolutely unnecessary stuff. Every day with him was painful – not knowing where he would go for hours each day and then not being allowed to ask. I was constantly suspicious.

Some days he would be all loving and say the sweetest things and other days he would be so mean. I couldn’t stand it anymore so I just left.

Months went by before I got the first sms asking how I was doing. I decided to end it for good even though it was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. It has been three years now and I haven’t seen him since. I still love him and will always pray for him. I have never loved anyone like I loved him.” *NOT his real name

‘HE was crying and said that he could feel that he was going to die.’

ASTRO PROFILE WHAT THE STARS SAY ABOUT...

QUEEN ELIZABETH II April 21, 1926

PIC: WWW.ELITEPHOTOAGENCY.COM

Q

UEEN ELIZABETH ll (born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor), was crowned on June 2, 1953, following the death of her father, King George Vl on February 6, 1952. She was 13 when she first met her future husband, Prince Philip of Greece (Gemini), whom she married at Westminster Abbey on November 29, 1947. They have four offspring, Prince Charles (Scorpio), Princess Anne (Leo), Prince Andrew (Pisces) and Prince Edward (Pisces). On September 9, 2015, at around 17h30 BST (according to calculations by Buckingham Palace), Queen Elizabeth surpassed her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria’s reign and became both the longest-reigning British head of state and the longest-reigning queen regent in history. She is a Sun Taurus with Capricorn Rising and has the Moon in Leo, so it is not surprising that she’s a traditionalist, is practical and dutiful, and plays her role to perfection. With Mercury in Aries, she has an alert and quick mind, and expresses her opinions boldly. Venus in Pisces makes her a sentimental romantic. Saturn in Scorpio shows that she exercises strong self-discipline. Jupiter and Mars in Capricorn render her responsible and thoroughly comfortable in her queenly identity. She has reached the grand age of 90 – and hopefully she will make it to 100 like her mother did.

TIPS ON ADOPTING A PET BEFORE you adopt a gorgeous pet, make sure you have considered the following:  Do you travel a lot?  Does your complex / neighbourhood allow pets?  Do you have a safe and secure home for the new addition?  Do you have the time and money to look after a pet?  Will you love and care for this animal at all times?  Will the animal fit in with your other pets?  Ensure the breed is one that suits you and your family.  Do you have enough space for the pet to run around?  Do you have kids? If yes, take the correct security measures before adopting.

IT consultant Alison Buttigieg was on a trip to the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya when she spotted a cheetah teaching her cubs to hunt.

The youngsters managed to bring down an impala in five minutes and, within a matter of time, the camera captured the paralysed creature, in a profoundly moving image of nature in action. Cheetahs are daytime hunters and once they catch their prey, they hide in a shady area and feast before other opportunists come along.

“BODY PAINTING is special because the artwork is alive and can move,” says Johannes Stoetter, who transforms models into nature-inspired objects. The Italy-based artist pays careful attention to detail and his creations have earned him the world body painting title. The unique thing about his artwork is the movement and flexibility of each creation. His striking work includes fruit, animals, trees, landscapes and a frog made up of three people. Johannes› visuals took five months to plan and eight months to paint. “I think I observe the world, nature, colours and shapes with very clear eyes and an open heart. And painting is my big passion. I think the secret of good work is to always have a love for it.”

The mass bathe-in smashed the previous record of 506 naked bathers held by a town in New Zealand. The naked bathers from all over Spain as well as some tourists all met up on the town’s beach and were counted before they made the mass plunge. One of the bather’s said, “It is so hot in Spain at the moment, that it was good to be naked. It was a welcome cool off from scorching temperatures. And with so many people naked you would have stood out if you were clothed. We were all born naked so bathing naked just seems natural.”

Love Of Their Lives MARYANNE and Tommy have spent 20 happy years together, despite being dealt a tough hand.

W

HEN Linda Martin, 65, arranged for her daughter to marry the love of her life, she was met with criticism. Twenty years on, Maryanne and Tommy have renewed their vows and are as happy as ever. But Linda has a secret that would break Maryanne’s heart…

“Is there any greater day in the life of a mother, than the day you get to be mother of the bride?

It’s a day that signifies so much. Your daughter is experiencing the happiest day of her life, marrying the man of her dreams. It’s a day of love, laughter and joy.

And I saw no reason why it was a day my daughter Maryanne should miss out on.

Sure, I received flack the day my daughter and her fiancé announced their engagement.

I fended off abuse and negativity, and this was 20 years ago, in the days before online trolls. But what kind of mother would I be, if I denied my daughter happiness, just because a few ignorant people threw a few pathetic slurs my way? I wanted to see my daughter happy, and happiness is exactly what her husband has given her – a lifetime of it.

Maryanne was diagnosed with Down’s syndrome 44 years ago, in the days that followed her birth.

She was my first child and I was only 21. I spent days in hospital knowing something was wrong and waiting for a doctor to talk to me.

I hope the treatment of new moms has come a long way since then, because I felt like an outcast. Nurses were barbaric, making Maryanne

cry with how rough they were with her.

Doctors were blunt, using words thankfully now considered politically incorrect.

Other mothers whispered and sneered, ‘Have you seen that girl’s baby?’

Arriving back at my parent’s house after Maryanne’s birth, I stepped over all the ‘congratulation’ cards on the doormat. I felt bewildered. My mom tilted her head to one side and said, ‘If you can’t look after her, we will.’

A wave of protection overcame me. ‘She’s mine,’ I said as I held her close. In that moment, I knew I’d bring my daughter up to know she deserved every opportunity any other woman deserved.

I had three more children over the years. Sadly her brother Philip died when he was 12, but Reece, now 35, and Lindi, now 28, grew up with Maryanne, having picnics on the beach near our Southend-On-Sea home. I was a single mom, but we were a happy family.

Maryanne grew into a beautiful woman, a diva who loved parties.

She celebrated her 18th with three separate events and wore a different outfit for each party.

She started working at a training centre for people with special needs, assisting in the kitchen.

And that’s where she met Tommy. She’d come home at night, talking Tommy this, Tommy that.

She looked radiant and happy and I realised she was in love.

‘Would you like Tommy to come over for tea?’ I asked her. Her eyes widened in delight.

Tommy was 30 then and I soon found out from

‘SHE’D come home at night, talking Tommy this, Tommy that. She looked radiant and happy and I realised she was in love.’

facebook.com/peoplemagsa

Maryanne with her sister and her niece care workers that he’d been in the care system since he was 13. He wasn’t from a loving family like ours, he had no brothers or sisters. He was unkempt, unstimulated and unloved, living in a community home with other young adults with special needs.

Maryanne woke something up in him. She’d boss him about and tell him off if he wasn’t listening to her and he’d always say, ‘I’m sorry my lovely.’

They were adorable together.

I brought him into our home, and our family showed him humour and togetherness. Any excuse for a party, we’d dance the night away at family get-togethers and applaud when Tommy broke into song. Tommy loved Elvis so I gave him a makeover, styling his hair and buying him trendy clothes befitting his charming character.

One evening I was clearing up after dinner and Maryanne and Tommy were watching television when she ran in to find me, her face a picture.

‘Mom, look!’ she said, showing me her ring finger.

Putting his arm around her waist, Tommy told me he wanted to marry Maryanne. I asked them both if they were sure, and when they said yes, I gave my blessing.

Then came the criticism. People were aghast.

They said it was disgusting. They said I was mad. Parents of other young adults in our Down’s syndrome community raged that I was making a mistake.

‘You can’t let them marry,’ they said. ‘What will they do about sex?’

Maryanne and I had discussed pregnancy. She didn’t want children and decided to go on the pill, but what they did in their marital bedroom was entirely up to them.

Other parents lodged official complaints with social services, but to no avail. ‘We’ll do all we can to support you,’ our social worker said.

Even friends were skeptical. ‘What will you do if it doesn’t work out?’ friends asked.

‘Would you say that to your daughter if she got engaged?’ I said. How terrible a mother would I be if I didn’t give them a chance?

I called the Down’s Syndrome Association for advice and they were so encouraging. ‘As long as they have help and support, they’ll be fine,’

Follow us on twitter.com/people_sa

they said. If ever I had any doubt I only had to look at how Maryanne radiated happiness around Tommy and I knew we were making the right decision.

We threw an engagement party and then, four years later, the big day came.

Maryanne wore a beautiful silk and lace dress with a 3m train, made by her auntie. She looked phenomenal. Her bridesmaids wore blue and held blue and white flowers.

They spent one night in the honeymoon suite of a local hotel, then the next day, the happy couple moved in with me.

I bought them a beautiful double bed for their bedroom, making it up with a gorgeous cover and big pillows. Then I gave them privacy to do as they pleased.

I became Tommy’s legal guardian and for seven years, Maryanne and Tommy lived with me.

I taught them both to cook, clean and care for themselves, so that when the flat next door came up for rent, I snapped it up. It meant Tommy and Maryanne could live independently, but next door, so I was there if they needed me.

That’s where they have lived ever since. My daughter Lindi became their official carer a few years ago when I had to retire due to my own ill-health, but there was no one better than Lindi to look out for them. She’d take them to the pub, where she was under strict instruction to sit as far away from them as possible and leave them to their date nights.

In our family, Maryanne and Tommy were safe, happy, and loved.

I want people to recognise that disability doesn’t mean no quality of life. I recognised that Tommy and Maryanne are people, with feelings, wants and desires. They have made each other happy for 20 years – holidays, shopping, going on walks. Giving them supervised independence has seen them both soar.

This year marked their 20 year anniversary, so Maryanne and Tommy renewed their wedding vows. The same vicar who had married them returned to our parish church to renew their vows.

Tommy’s tie matched Maryanne’s maroon coloured dress and there was no walking down the aisle – she was so excited she ran!

I’ve often even felt envious of their love – Maryanne has something I’ve never had: a man who loves her unconditionally. They are sweet and patient with each other. They’ve both found ‘the one’ to hold hands with and make this funny old life an adventure.

That’s why it makes me so sad to know that Tommy has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. I can’t tell Maryanne. It’ll break her heart.

She knows he’s changing. I tell her Tommy is getting older and needs a bit more help.

He gets confused and his balance is wobbly.

I dread the day he doesn’t remember who Maryanne is.

The signs started last year. He’d look at me like I was talking a foreign language, suddenly

unable to understand what I was saying. He got confused by simple tasks he’d once found so easy, like making the tea.

‘My brain is going funny’, he said. I didn’t want him to feel scared, so I assured him all our brains go a bit funny as we get older.

I took him to the doctors and was by his side through every brain scan. In October last year, doctors confirmed it was Alzhiemer’s. Tommy was in the room when they told me, but thankfully he doesn’t understand.

Some days, Tommy can’t remember how to put his shoes on. His eyes seems sad and lost.

But we know what to do. We put on some Elvis and within two beats, he’s sparkling, grabbing Maryanne’s hand and dancing.

I don’t know how long Maryanne and Tommy have left together, but I know that they’ve made each other so happy. That’s the greatest gift I could give my daughter.”

AMERICA’S

BLOODY OBSESSION

V

WHEN it comes to ivory, America has a guilty secret.

ICTOR GORDON’S cramped antiques shop was called ‘the most unusual store in Philadelphia’, and it more than lived up to its billing. Inside, investigators discovered what they called ‘a tomb for African elephants’, with about 425 pieces of tusks carved to resemble tribesmen and totems. Court records called it ‘one of the largest known caches of illegal elephant ivory in the United States, worth about R15-million.

Gordon was a middleman in the grisly supply chain of African elephant ivory and rhinoceros horn who took advantage of a poorly guarded US port.

For nearly a decade, Gordon orchestrated what prosecutors called one of the ‘most significant and egregious’ violations of US laws against trafficking elephant ivory. He paid smugglers to buy ivory from stockpiles in West Africa and sneak it through New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport in shipping crates weighing as much as a tonne. It was a low-risk operation for the smugglers. With only six US Fish and Wildlife Service inspectors and four police agents to search millions of shipments that arrive at JFK’s massive cargo facility each year, there was little chance of being caught.

For every crate with illegal ivory, rhinoceros horn or

some other banned product crafted from a threatened or endangered animal that is discovered, about 10 get by, police say. Gordan is by no means a rarity.

Each year Africa loses roughly 35 000 elephants to poaching. It’s a known problem, and one the authorities in Africa have been fighting for decades. Much of the blame is usually pointed at China, the world’s largest consumer of elephant tusks. In the past 30 years the world’s elephant population has been reduced to almost half of what it was. Experts say the African elephant could be extinct within a decade. Between 2010 and 2012 alone, 100 000 African elephants were poached for their tusks. That’s a dead elephant every 15 minutes, much faster than the animals can reproduce. The illegal trade in wildlife is said to be worth roughly R285-billion a year, and China is very much at the heart of that. The commonly held belief by the majority of wildlife fans is

www.peoplemagazine.co.za

‘PEOPLE are shocked when you talk about the US as a major market for ivory.’

that an illegal medicine trade in the far East is solely responsible for the absolute rampant destruction that Africa’s population of rhino, elephant, lion and other species are experiencing. This, however, is untrue. While it is fact that China’s insatiable demand is fuelling the slaughter of Africa’s wildlife on an unprecedented scale, what is not often known is that there exists a secondary market in the United States of America, which only serves to make things worse.

“People are kind of shocked when you start talking about the fact that the US is a major market for ivory,” says John Calvelli, WCS executive vice president for public affairs and director of the 96 Elephants campaign.

Currently the United States ranks as the world’s secondlargest retail market behind China for legal artifacts crafted from the remains of wild animals. Disturbingly, however, this legal market is often used as a cover for an enormous illegal trade in poached ivory and rhino horn, with some studies estimating that as much as 30 percent of imported shipments are illegal, according to the Wildlife Conservation Society. A recent study reported that as much as 90 percent of ivory for sale in Los Angeles and 80 percent in San Francisco is likely illegal under existing California law.

Verdict

BY WALTON GOLIGHTLY

The Killer Was A

Wimbeldon Finalist MARRIAGE and murder combined made for the perfect storm.

In the past year alone, numerous antique dealers throughout America have been arrested for knowingly dealing in illegal ivory, including tusks.

In 2014, Ferdinand Krizan, an antiques dealer based in Franklin, New York, drove across the Niagara Falls into the US from Canada with a a pair of full-sized tusks in his boot, despite knowing that importing elephant ivory without an Endangered Species Act permit could get him in a lot of trouble. He was arrested, and found guilty in February after it was found Smugglers buy ivory from that this was stockpiles in West Africa nowhere near the first time he had imported illegal animal parts to doctor and sell as legal ivory.

In January, a professor, Yiwei Zheng pleaded guilty to trafficking in rhinoceros horn and elephant ivory in violation of US laws that protect endangered species. The professor was selling the trafficked items onward to China and elsewhere through his online store.

And in March, Curtis Wilmington, the owner of the Oahu gifts retailer Hawaiian Accessories, Inc., pleaded guilty to smuggling ivory into and out of the US pretending it was all acquired legally.

“We don’t have enough people to do what we have to do,” said Paul Chapelle, the special agent in charge of the Fish and Wildlife law enforcement office near JFK Airport. And when they do arrest someone, he said, “You go back and look at the shipping manifests, and you see the same people had been doing the same thing for five or 10 years.”

But it’s not just through antique dealers that this illegal trade in animal parts is taking place.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare released a study in April 2015 that surveyed Craigslist sites for 28 cities. They found hundreds of suspected ivory products for sale including artworks, instruments and even whole tusks. In addition, there were numerous rhino horns and African warthog tusks. The ads offered more than 600 products that totalled more than R21-million.

The survey forced Craigslist to change its policy regarding ivory sales, but complex laws governing its import and sale in the US have meant the products are still easy to find.

“I think it sends a very powerful message that we have an issue here in the US that needs to be dealt with,” says Calvelli. “We should not be hypocritical and point the finger at others when we have issues

here in the United States.”

The US signed a global ban on ivory from Asian elephants in 1975, and from African elephants in 1990. Products that entered the country prior to these dates can be sold legally, but only three percent of the listings identified included the necessary documentation.

And although others claimed to include ‘pre-ban’ or ‘antique’ ivory, there is no way to determine their actual provenance.

That doesn’t necessarily imply that the other products included pre-ban ivory, and there’s no data on how many were actually sold. But Calvelli says the prevalence of ivory products on the site show a need for stronger regulation.

Part of the problem, is that ivory products from poached elephants are often altered to look aged, making them even more difficult to police on online marketplaces. Google, eBay, and Amazon came under criticism from conservationist groups in 2013 over ads for elephant ivory products, many of which were listed under code terms like ‘white gold’ and ‘unburnable bone’.

Further hampering America’s desire to lead from the front is the National Rifle Association (NRA) who claim they want to protect hunters, who might be criminalised by a large scale ban on the sale of ivory. The NRA insists that hunters should not be prevented from importing and displaying the trophies of their legal kills made on hunting safaris. The association has earmarked antique rifles inlaid with ivory as being pieces of artistic value that rifle owners may want to buy, trade or transport. A total ban would prevent them from being able to do so.

That said, the belief amongst activists and many lawmakers worldwide is that a complete ban on legal ivory is a necessary step.

“Ending the legal sales of ivory is the greatest single step that can be taken to reduce elephant poaching in Africa, and we hope it can happen as soon as possible,” said Peter Knights of WildAid, a San Francisco-based group that encourages the Chinese not to consume endangered wildlife products. And with China recently pledging that it would eventually end its legal ivory trade, the pressure be on for the US to do the same.

ERE ST LEGER GOOLD was born in 1853, the son of a well-respected magistrate in County Waterford, Ireland.

As his family was wealthy, Goold was not obliged to find regular employment. However, he worked part time in the civil service in Dublin. It was a job his father had organised for him and afforded him social ‘respectability’, while allowing him to enjoy his two passions – boozing and playing tennis.

In 1878, Goold became Ireland’s first national tennis champion. The following year, he made it to the men’s singles final at Wimbledon. But instead of resting the day before the big match, he went drinking and gambling. By all accounts, he arrived for the final looking decidedly hung over – and was duly trounced in three straight sets by the Reverend John Hartley of Yorkshire: 6-2, 6-4, 6-2.

For a few years, Goold continued to play doubles, but he knew his career was over and finally disappeared from the tennis scene around 1883. By that time, he was an alcoholic and addicted to opium, notes crime writer Siobhan Mulcahy.

In 1891, Goold married French dressmaker Marie Giraudin. Twice married and divorced, Marie had expensive tastes and a bad temper.

It didn’t matter how she got her hands on money so long as she could feed her gambling addiction.

When her London dress shop went bankrupt, the newlyweds set up a laundry which also failed (apparently Marie liked to borrow money from customers and never pay them back) and they were compelled to leave England. After a spell in Canada, the couple washed up in Europe, where they began to work as grifters – mainly in casinos – conning people out of their money and valuables.

In 1907, they moved to Monte Carlo, where all the richest gamblers were. Marie also believed she had a ‘winning formula’ for making money at the tables. They called themselves ‘Sir’ and ‘Lady’ Goold and took Marie’s niece, Isabelle Giraudin, with them to add to their air of respectability.

Needless to say, Marie’s winning formula didn’t work and the Goolds found themselves destitute and unable to pay their mounting hotel bills and other costs. Abandoning Marie’s niece, the couple fled to Marseilles, where they were arrested at a train station in possession of two trunks containing the dismembered remains of a wealthy Danish widow.

A station porter had noticed a terrible stench coming from one of the cases as blood seeped from its underside, and summoned a nearby gendarme. Emma Levin had been bludgeoned to death with a hammer and her body dismembered using a builder’s saw.

Goold said that he alone was the murderer. His wife was innocent.

Levin had asked him for a loan, he said. When he had refused, she went into a rage and attacked him. He had killed her in self-defence.

French police weren’t impressed.

It emerged that the Goolds had met the wealthy widow at a casino and set about trying to swindle her. However, another grifter, a Madame Castellazi, had already latched onto Levin. After a public fight between Marie and Castellazi made the local gossip columns, Leven decided to leave Monte Carlo.

But first she wanted the Goolds to repay the sizable sum she had leant them. On August 4, 1907, she went to their hotel suite. When Levin didn’t return to her own suite, Madame Castellazi contacted the police – who soon discovered the Goolds had vanished. Blood stains were found in their room, as well as a blood-splattered saw and a hammer.

Marie Goold was condemned to death but her sentence was later commuted to life without parole. She died of natural causes in a Paris prison in 1914. Vere Goold was sentenced to life imprisonment to be served on Devil’s Island in French Guiana. He died there of typhoid in 1909. He was 55 years old.

The lives of children are being changed every day

IT’S amazing how much weight one simple idea can hold in a child’s life. Roundtable sees the rewards of how small ideas become moments of absolute bliss and excitement for the children in our communities.

T

HERE’S a proverb that goes: You can’t really understand another person’s experience until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes. Justin Webster appreciates the saying all too well. Having grown up in an orphanage, he knows the privations of a life lived without a family to call your own – and the amazing difference a few caring individuals can make to ease those privations. Now an adult, Justin has dedicated his life to helping children who have gone through a similar experience and brighten their lives with the assistance of other members of Roundtable.

“I joined Roundtable Rivonia 230 in May 2007 after spending my childhood in an orphanage that was a beneficiary of the benevolence of Roundtable. I wanted to give back to those less fortunate than myself so sought out joining an organisation where I could get involved. I was introduced to Table at a Toy Run and I have been a proud member ever since,” he says. “The smile on the face of a child, who’s a stranger to presents at Christmas, when he receives a new toy, and the gratitude a hungry child shares when they take that first sip of soup after having not eaten anything substantial for days is unbelievably rewarding.”

Justin explains Roundtable Rivonia 230 is a non-profit organisation that helps the local community. It has nine active members at the moment but hoping to increase that number in 2016. The Gauteng area has 69 active members across 11 Tables. Membership is a vast array of young professional men, from artisans to attorneys – all with a common calling to do good for one’s community.

The aims and objects of Roundtable are to develop fellowship among young men through the medium of their professional and business occupations; to emphasise the fact that one’s calling offers an excellent medium of service to the community; to cultivate the highest ideals in business, professional and civic traditions; to recognise the worthiness of all legitimate occupations and to dignify each his own by precept and example; to foster responsible citizenship and loyalty to their country; to further the establishment of peace and goodwill in international relationships; and to further

KILLER KAKURU

GO FIGURE THE idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram – by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the right numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares, and use each of the nine numbers only once.

FILL the grid so that each block adds up to the total in the box above or to the left of it. You can only use the digits 1-9 and you must not use the same digit twice in a block. (The same digit may occur more than once in a row or column, but it must be in a separate block.)

J. COLE IN SA!

HE’S worked with Hollywood giants like Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar, and we couldn’t be more excited, because the uber-talented rapper, whose full name is Jermaine Lamarr Cole, is making his way to Mzansi for a one-night concert this coming June! Whoop whoop! The star is set to show off his rap skills at the Ticketpro Dome in Johannesburg on June 18, making it his second trip to South Africa following his performance at the Big Brother Africa opening ceremony in 2012. Fans across Mzansi have been raving about the 31-yearold on all social platforms, counting down the days to his performance, and we’re right there with them. We’re particularly looking forward to hearing some of our favourite tracks like Power Trip and Crooked Smile. Come on, J. – make it happen!

RATCHET AND CLANK 3D

PS fans will find these particular names familiar, though the medium in this case will be something new. And that’s because the Ratchet and Clank are making a trip from the gaming universe and heading to the big screen! This animation adaptation of the Play Station franchise tells the story of two unlikely heroes who find themselves tasked with stopping the dastardly Chairman Drek.

When the two stumble upon a dangerous weapon capable of destroying entire planets, they must join forces with a team of heroes called The Galactic Rangers to save the galaxy. Featuring the voices of James Arnold Taylor and David Kaye, Ratchet and Clank blasts into theatres on April 29, 2016.

JANE GOT A GUN

APOLOGIES to Aerosmith fans if they were under the impression this had anything to do with the similarly (though more gramatically sound) titled 1989 song.

4 NEO BEATS COLLABORATES WITH REASON

SOWETO-BORN rapper and producer Neo Beats is taking the local entertainment industry by storm! The 30-year-old talent recently collaborated with fellow rapper Reason on the banging track Eleven Over Ten, and we have to say, it gets and 11 out of 10. Neo, who’s been on the hip-hop scene for almost two decades now, says this track takes the genre to a new level. “Eleven Over Ten means everything is overboard, too much fun, too much of anything which is used as a metaphor of being fed up or rather sick of the ordinary music that’s coming out now,” he says.

One thing’s certain – we definitely can’t get too much of this track.

Listen to it on https://soundcloud.com/neobeats/neo-beats-ft-reason-11over-10-dirty.

SEASON ONE of this groundbreaking series was one emotional roller coaster, and we’re pleased to say that Season Two had just as many twists and turns! The intimate documentary of the person we once knew as Bruce Jenner and his transition into the world of womanhood had us frequently reaching for our Kleenex, and as Season Two comes to a close, we can’t wait to see what happens in Caitlyn’s ongoing journey of selfdiscovery, all the while continuing to work on her relationship with her daughters as well as her new group of friends. Catch the finale of I Am Cait, Sunday May 1, 2016 at 20h00 on E!

Seen On Set

BUT THAT’S NONE OF HER BUSINESS

HAVING a Kermit moment, Khanyi? Actress Khanyi Mbau was spotted on the early morning set of e.tv’s primetime drama Umlilo, taking a tea break à la that Kermit the Frog meme. The usually flamboyant star, who starred in the local film Happiness Is A Four-Letter Word (we’re not sure if it’s a four-letter word that can apply here, though) joined the cast early this year. She plays the role of Palesa Tladi, a razorsharp public prosecutor who, you can be damn sure, makes everything her business!

Make sure not to miss her in action every Monday at 21h30 on e.tv.

GIRL (FIRE) POWER

NEVER underestimate the power of a woman… Especially if she’s armed!

IsiBaya talents Celeste Ntuli, Ayanda Borotho and Thembi Nyandeni were spotted doing the unusual on the set of the popular soapie. The trio play Mpiyakhe Zungu’s two wives and sister respectively, and are a favourite amongst fans of the show, and in this scene they’re making sure their family is protected! We certainly wouldn’t want to mess with these little ladies!

Viewers can catch IsiBaya, weekdays at 20h30 on Mzansi Magic.

YOUR backstage pass to the best movie and TV sets.

FUN FACT

KHANYI wears children’s sneakers because her feet are so small!

FUN FACT

WHEN Michael’s parents divorced, their home was sold to the Osbournes.

MC-ON-TYRES FUN FACT

THEMBI won the inaugural Outstanding Lead Actress award at the Royalty Soapie Awards in March 2014 for her role in IsiBaya.

BRITISH comedian and presenter Michael McIntyre was spotted filming for his new BBC show, Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, in Piccadilly, London, attracting quite a crowd when he pretended to pull off some BMX stunts – we say ‘pretend’ because all the real stunts were actually performed by a body double. Fiddlesticks!

And here we thought he had mad skills as a cyclist as well as being a comic genius. It has not been revealed when the show will air in SA, but we promise to be on the lookout for you!

Reality Bites

BY EL BROIDE

Justin Bieber Gets Between Charlotte And Gaz

CAN these two make up their minds already! One minute they’re denying that they’re a couple and the next minute Geordie Shore stars Charlotte Crosby and Gary ‘Gaz’ Beadle are posting videos of themselves kissing on Snapchat.

However, while the two figure out what they want with their relationship, pop star Justin Bieber has come into the mix to shake things up. “I was over in England last year and caught Geordie Shore on MTV. And those guys are insane. I mean, we had Jersey Shore over here. But these guys on Geordie Shore are on another level. It’s kind of got me hooked. I always watch it whenever I can now, just to see what they can get up to next.” Justin was then asked if anyone in particular caught his eye and revealed that ‘the guys look like a lot of fun and the girls are hot, but there is no way I would ever be able to keep up with them!’ Back in December, Charlotte tweeted: “Justin Bieber is a SORT [British slang for ‘really, really hot’],” which really got under Gary’s skin. He demanded that she stop flirting with the pop star. The two are still figuring things out, with Charlotte recently saying, “I’ll never be able to fully trust him… I’m not sure he’s the one.” Naturally, Gaz is so upset Charlotte aired their dirty laundry so publically. “It’s sparked a huge texting war between them. He says if she gets over her ego and wants a real relationship rather than a public one then he will be loyal and give it a go… But he’s just really embarrassed right now.”

Lamar Suffocated By Khloé’s Ongoing Control

Love At First Swipe, Thursdays At 20h00 On TLC THIS show follows the lives of everyday people looking for love. However, with the help of a style makeover, this show hopes to make that process just a little bit quicker.

KHLOÉ KARDASHIAN and Lamar Odom have been having a really rough time over the past few months. What’s even worse is that all their dirty laundry has been aired for the whole world to see (yes, it is partially their fault). However, the former couple are still figuring their relationship out and Lamar’s going to rehab has been a battle that is tearing them apart. Sources reveal that Lamar has been under Khloé’s watch ever since he was released from hospital back in January. “Khloé has had Lamar completely under her control,” a source says.

“She’s basically been holding him hostage. Khloé has taken on the role of Lamar’s mother, nurse and therapist.

He feels suffocated. She orchestrates his every move, including when he calls his kids and when he eats.” This led to Lamar infamously heading out to a bar to simply get some time to himself away from Khloé’s constant nagging. However, this made everything worse. “Khloé’s terrified Lamar is going to start using drugs again, and she wants him to seek outpatient treatment, where she takes him for meetings or counsellors come to him.” However, Lamar is getting more and more frustrated each day and her behaviour is destroying the chance they have to save their marriage. “Khloé’s acting like a superhero who can fix Lamar, but the best thing she could give him right now is a bit of space.”

The Real Housewives Of Dallas Are Here!

Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars, Fridays At 20h00 On Lifetime

CELEBRITY couples are put into a house as they try and sort out the problems going on in and around their marriage. This season sees celebs such as Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag as well as Natalie Nunn and Jacob Payne.

Follow us on twitter.com/people_sa

Housewives series, recently the premiere of The Real Housewives Of Dallas aired in the United States. The show’s debut episode introduces us to Brandi Redmond, Stephanie Hollman, Cary Deuber, Tiffany Hendra, LeeAnne Locken, and Marie Reyes and we’re instantly shown that these women love a good charity fundraiser. As expected, the girls are obsessed with etiquette, family, money and making Dallas a better place – all while drinking champagne and living the good life. “It was perfect timing,” Stephanie says on her decision to do the show with her friend Brandi. “Both of our kids are in school, maybe a little bit of boredom. We have so much fun together so why not?” Brandi adds, “We’re ready for the world to see us. Dorinda [Medley, from The Real Housewives Of New York] gave me some really great advice; she said you have to go into it and have fun. If you’re not having fun, you probably shouldn’t be doing it.” The show looks incredible and we can’t wait for it to premiere on our screens soon.

A Gift Of Love Bette Midler

«««« BETTE MIDLER is a legend in the music

industry. Her songs have shaped the lives of countless people, young and old, and she has created music that will stay endure over generations to come.

Bette, however, has been rather quiet over the past few months, but has dropped a compilation of the biggest love songs she’s released throughout her career, as well as two brand new tracks on her new album A Gift Of Love. The 18-track album includes hits such as In This Life, Wind Beneath My Wings, From A Distance, The Rose, Favorite Waste Of Time and many more. The diva has proven that she is one of the biggest pop stars of our time and this collection of ballads is a clear reminder. The album is the first from Bette since she released It’s The Girls back in 2014, and we love the fact that she has chosen a love theme for the greatest hits collection. Sure, this means many tracks are left out, but the collection is beautifully focused and a must-have for her fans.

El’s Favourite Track: Wind Beneath My Wings

Anti Rihanna

M

ETAL has long had a strong, loyal following.

The genre has been able to speak to a select group of people and has one of the most supportive fan-bases. Therefore, it’s no surprise many were over the moon when Australian metal act, Karnivool, announced that they’d be making their way to South Africa this month. The band played at Mercury Live in Cape Town on the April 22 and at The Bassline in Newtown, Johannesburg on April 23. We caught up with lead singer Ian Kenny.

I think metal has such a strong identity. It’s so important to a lot of people. Metal is an expression.

It’s good s***!

You guys have been around since 1997. What do you think is the reason the band is still so popular today?

The writing is extremely difficult. It’s part pursuing something we can’t see but must find and then filtering it through the dysfunctional force that is Karnivool. The fans expect the best and we need to give that to them.

I guess we’ve stuck at it long enough to create something of our own. It’s now something much bigger than any of us – and people have stuck with us, which is amazing. Plus we all have super supportive grandparents.

What has been the most amazing moment of your career so far?

There are a lot of things that come to mind but drinking legit moonshine while firing pistols into the dark Texan desert is definitely my favourite moment.

We coulnd’t wait to watch you live in South Africa. What does a Karnivool show consist of?

What is the best and worst part of touring the world?

The best part is playing for all our fans and seeing that reaction. The worst part is probably our time on the tour bus.

Tell us a little more about the writing process.

What’s it like?

What inspired your latest album Asymmetry?

We wanted something really angular and raw. There are lots of live sounds and atmospherics, a band smashing it in a room. We went all the way left and over the edge and it exposed a completely different part of this band, which is really interesting to see.

What were you most looking forward to doing during your time in South Africa?

Five sexually confused Australians trying to play as well as we can, but all secretly hoping it spins out of control. That’s usually where we find our best performance space and we’re glad our South African shows give us that!

The people. The music. The food. Oh, and we were lucky to have a shark dive and safari.

Why do you think people are so attracted to metal?

Writing our next record. Wish us luck!

What does the next few months have in store for Karnivool?

TRIVIA

IT feels like we’ve been waiting for ages for Rihanna to release her eighth studio album, Anti, and we were just as shocked as everyone when she released it as a free download on January 28 on streaming service TIDAL! The Barbadian beauty sounds better than ever before and the growth is a beautiful thing to see. There are some great urban tracks on the record but it is a production that may leave her fans a little disappointed. There are pop-influenced tracks like Kiss It Better, but for the most part this isn’t the album many were expecting. It’s filled with a variety of genres, which may give the feeling of a lack of direction.

While this isn’t a bad record, we expected a bit more from a singer of her calibre.

El’s Favourite Track: Kiss It Better

In My Bloed Pierre Rossouw

«««

AFRIKAANS pop star Pierre Rossouw blasted onto the local pop space with singles such as So Het Ek Jou Ma Ontmoet and Jamblikke and his new album In My Bloed is officially in stores.

Pierre has released a collection of catchy pop tracks, and with 17 songs in all, the album is value for money. Pierre is a fantastic musician who not only sings and plays guitar, but writes his music as well. The potential is there, but feel Pierre is yet to find his identity. The music is a bit generic and sound too similar to the Afrikaans pop tracks dominating the charts at the moment. We’d like to hear Pierre release something with a bit more substance and something with more of an identity.

Cruise Head

UK Mother TOM CRUISE is moving to the UK as he oversees ambitious plans to turn his beloved religion into a European superpower.

P

BY PAN MEDIA / PICS: WWW. ELITEAGENCY.COM / PAN MEDIA

eople can reveal in a world exclusive investigation that Tom Cruise has been dipping into his own personal fortune and will stop at nothing to make the cult religion’s headquarters in East Grinstead, Sussex, a major landmark, according to sources.

These first-ever aerial photos of the Church’s latest renovations to its ‘castle’ – said to have cost a staggering R230-million – show two hand-carved stone lions at the entrance to the building surrounded by a terraced courtyard.

Planning application documents reveal the extension will include a spa and gymnasium – which Cruise will no doubt use to keep in shape for his movies – as well as a new top quality restaurant.

Similarly to Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace, the residences of The Queen, the Union Jack blows in the wind on the manor’s roof.

It’s here at the sprawling 100-acre estate where founder L. Ron Hubbard lived and is now the UK home of Cruise.

Sources say Cruise – who has been slowly selling off a string of his properties around the world over the past few years – put his own East Grinstead mansion on the market after the Church’s leader, David Miscavige, granted him unlimited access to Hubbard’s former living space.

An insider reveals, “Tom is relocating to England and will use the Scientology manor as his base. It’s the highest recognition to live where L. Ron Hubbard did, and Miscavige clearly believes giving Tom this access will keep his faith in the Church for decades to come. It’s worked a charm, because Tom’s more dedicated to Scientology than ever before. He’s investing a lot of his own money back into the UK Church and secretly the talk is how they want to be as influential as the Royal family. It might sound like a deluded dream but with bottomless cash and ongoing renovations they believe that, in time, the building will overshadow Buckingham Palace.”

Only private vehicles – silver vans with blacked out windows – are allowed access to the manor.

The Church finished construction on the first part of the project last year and were forced to use a car park belonging to East Grinstead Rugby Club, opposite the Scientology entrance, because of how many trucks were needed to conduct the work.

As compensation for disrupting the local sport team for six months, Cruise and Miscavige personally invited the director of rugby Phil Major to their annual gala, where they donated R150 000 to the club to cover general bills and overheads.

Cruise, wearing a three-piece suit at the Scientology event in October last year, thanked Major for his help and insisted the pair had a picture taken together.

It’s extremely uncommon for a nonScientologist to be given access to the event – let alone meet the Mission Impossible actor inside the manor.

Speaking about his visit, Major, 54, exclusively revealed, “They recently had a huge renovation. If you were to put a figure on it I’d say at least R230-million. It was ridiculous, [it was] such a big project, hundreds of sub-contractors were working there.

It went on for three or four months.

They were having loads of stuff done, a lot of building work, groundwork and a new car park. They came over and asked to use our car park during the weekdays and they filled our entire place with contractors, you wouldn’t have been able to park if you came here last September.”

On meeting the actor, Major said, “I was introduced to Tom. He made a lot of effort and we spoke about sports for the most of it. He asked for a picture with me. We were talking privately and then I turned around to see a dozen photographers ready and waiting.”

Despite being greeted by an A-list star, it was the Church’s leader who left the biggest impression on Major.

He said, “It was Miscavige, the head guy, who I was impressed with. The top actors in the world couldn’t come close to him. He speaks so fast and

there were no stutters or pauses. I was taken in by the quality of his delivery.

He’s very persuading. He reminded me of the character Ben Stiller plays in the film Dodgeball. Very pristine, very intense; everything, from the way he dressed, talked and walked, was immaculate.”

He also revealed, “Scientology bought Fonthill Lodge School. It used to be a private school, but it folded, so they bought the land too.”

Photographs show the Church is extending even further, with builders working on site and levelling out a large portion of land, typically done before laying down foundations for a new building.

And insiders also claim Cruise is grooming his daughter, Isabella Cruise – whom he adopted with ex-wife Nicole Kidman – to be a potential new leader of the Church.

He’s been taking helicopter lessons in Surrey just a stonethrow away from Isabella’s home in the London suburb of Croydon. Having a full flying license will mean Cruise and Isabella can fly directly to the Scientology headquarters without being seen.

“They’re in regular contact, and being so close to each other in England has done wonders for their relationship, which has at times been nonexistent,” a source says.

The insider adds, “Tom’s made a real effort with her lately and he clearly believes having a strong woman like Bella as a senior figure in the Church will help recruitment and its image as a whole.

Bella has been studying new Scientology courses and privately discussed the idea with her friends in Clearwater who’ve been fully supportive of it.”

OTTOMLESS champagne, expensive wine and Michelinquality food is what Scientology’s intimate private galas are reported to be about!

It’s extremely rare for non-members of the controversial church to be invited to the annual ceremony held at their UK headquarters, but Phil Major was given privileged access.

This is how he described it: “There were buses and coaches bringing people to the event. It was an unbelievable marquee – it could

fit more than 6 000 people. We walked in and had to sign our names.

Someone took us into the manor house and we were handed a glass of expensive champagne. I sat in the second row at the main conference, right next to Tom Cruise. They talked about all their projects around the world and Tom would constantly stand up and applaud. Some people were wearing headsets. I remember being told there were 24 different translations for the speeches. A lot of people from different countries would come up to collect awards

and there was a lot of flag waving.

It was a lot like the Eurovision song contest. In the conference they kept being critical about psychologists. It was very anti-drugs, anti-medicine.

There was bottomless champagne. A lot of the councillors were there from the East Grinstead town council. We sat down for dinner around 23h00 for a four-course meal. I’m no wine expert, but even I could tell it was very good. The food was incredible; it was Michelin quality and up there with some of the best restaurants in the world!”

Video Evidence In Smith Case

PICS: GREATSTOCK / GALLO / WWW.ELITEPHOTOAGENCY.COM

LAST week we brought you the story of former New Orleans Saints player Will Smith who was shot to death while his wife was left injured during what police believed was a road rage incident. Recently, surveillance footage taken at the scene revealed what happened on the night of Smith’s death. The footage shows Smith’s SUV bumping into a Hummer at 23h21, just eight minutes before the assault. The two vehicles stop for a moment before the Hummer pulls over to the side of the road. A man named Cardell Hayes, 28, was arrested in connection with Smith’s death. He claims that Smith ‘hit and ran’.

Police are continuing their investigation and interviewing possible witnesses in the case.

Ronaldo Is One Boring Date!

HE may be awesome eye-candy and have women across the globe swooning, but a former flame of Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed he lacks plenty when it comes to the ‘love department’. This is according to British actress and glamour model Gemma Atkinson, who dated the Real Madrid star back when he was playing with Manchester United in 2007. In an exclusive interview she claims that their very first date was as boring ‘as hell’ and all Ronaldo wanted to do was watch television. “We just went to my house and drank cups of tea and watched a drama series. Genuinely, I don’t know if he’s into it now, but he was really into series at the time,” she says. “With Cristiano it was mad, because everywhere he went he was followed by photographers. When we did split up I got offered so much money to speak about him and I didn’t want that.”

Messi Nets 500

LIONEL MESSI has reached a pinnacle in his career, scoring his 500th career goal. Messi, already the leading scorer of all time for both Barcelona and La Liga, bagged his 500th goal in 633 appearances when he netted for Barcelona against Valencia. The forward now has 450 goals in 526 games with Barcelona and 50 in 107 games for Argentina.

Wrestling Champ Dies

FORMER world wrestling champ Jonathan Rechner, better known by his ring name ‘Balls Mahoney’, was found dead at the age of 44 years just one day after his birthday. Details surrounding his death were sketchy at the time of going to print, but news reports suggest his death was due to natural causes. Rechner died suddenly at his home in New Jersey while sitting on the couch watching Jeopardy! and answering trivia questions. Moments later, his wife noticed he was unconscious and called 911 before attempting CPR. However, he had already passed away before medics arrived. Rechner, who started wrestling at the age of 15, is best known for his appearances for Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) during the late 1990s and early 2000s, where he was a three-time ECW Tag Team Champion, as well as working for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on its ECW brand. In addition to his wife, he leaves behind a son, Christopher, age nine.

Rowing For Gold

SOUTH AFRICA’S top rowers proved tough contenders in the finals of the World Cup Rowing Regatta in Varese, Italy, by winning two gold medals and two bronze medals. James Thompson and John Smith won the gold medal in the men’s lightweight double sculls final, while Kate Christowitz and Lee-Ann Persse were victorious in the women’s final. “It is always good to be in a leading position at the beginning of the season, even though not all the big crews are here. We’re very pleased with the way we started this season but the fact that we have learned a lot during these past three days of racing is even more important. Now, as they say, it is back to the grindstone,” said Thompson.

ANDERSON COOPER M THEY’RE big big stars now but that wasn’t always the case!

AKING headlines this week is someone who normally brings us the headlines – CNN anchor and journalist, Anderson Cooper. The 48-year-old silver fox has been in the news game for a lot longer than you may think, making him one of the most trusted journos in the business. And the fact that he’s easy on the eye is a major plus, too. Read on for more littleknown-facts on Anderson. We bet you’ll be surprised at more than a few!

HAYS COOPER was born on June 3, 1967 in New York.  HE was born into one of the wealthiest and most respected families in New Anderson is the son of York. He is the son heiress Gloria Vanderbilt of heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, and the great-greatgreat-grandson of shipping and railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt.  COOPER made his TV debut at age three with his mom on The Tonight He was a child model for Show Starring Harper’s Bazaar Johnny Carson.  FROM age 10 to 13, Cooper modelled with Ford Models for Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, and Macy’s.  HE waited Cooper graduated from tables as a teen. high school a semester  COOPER went early to Yale University where he studied Political Science and International Relations.  DESPITE being a

journalist today, he has no formal journalistic education.

 HE once worked as an intern for the CIA!  ANDERSON also studied Vietnamese for a year at the

University of Hanoi.

 HE is 1.78m tall.  HIS brown hair began turning gray when he was 20 and

he now refers to the colour as ‘salt-and-pepper’.

 HIS older brother, Carter Vanderbilt Cooper, committed

suicide at age 23 by jumping from the 14th-floor terrace of his mother’s New York penthouse. This happened on July 22, 1988.  ANDERSON cites Carter’s suicide for sparking his interest in journalism. “Loss is a theme that I think a lot about, and it’s something in my work that I dwell on. I think when you experience any kind of loss, especially the kind I did, you have questions about survival: Why do some people thrive in situations that others can’t tolerate? Would I be able to survive and get on in the world on my own?”  GLORIA VANDERBILT later wrote about her son’s death in the book A Mother’s Story, in which she expresses her belief that the suicide was caused by a psychotic episode induced by an allergy to the anti-asthma prescription drug salbutamol.  AT age 17, after graduating from the Dalton School a semester early, Cooper travelled around Africa for several months on a ‘survival trip’. He contracted malaria on the trip and was hospitalised in Kenya.  COOPER appeared on Broadway! Well, sort of. He was the narrator for the 2011 Broadway revival of How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying, starring Daniel Radcliffe.  HE was Number 3 on Playgirl magazine’s Sexiest Newscasters List in 2004.  COOPER is openly gay and has been in a relationship with gay bar owner Benjamin Maisani since 2009. “The fact is, I’m gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.”
