Just as she feels she’s turning a corner in her grieving process and doing a little better, something happens that triggers her and it feels like she’s back at square one again. “But in a way that’s special,” Adrienne Watkins says. “It reminds me of how much I had and how lucky I was to have something so wonderful even though it’s gone.”

For years she dominated the tennis court, all raw power, rippling muscles and steely determination. But the hunger that drove her to become one of the finest athletes the world has ever seen is gone, and a very different desire is motivating Serena Williams these days. Motherhood is her life’s purpose now; it’s her biggest challenge, greatest achieve­ment and most wonderful surprise, she says. “I was never that confident or com­fortable around babies and children. I figured if I ever did have

But there’s a lot more to this sassy stick of colour than face paint – just ask a certain local artist who’s become something of a sensation thanks to his love of lippie. Ricollin Moodley is the guy who created a portrait of Siya Kolisi using nothing but lipstick – and after the Bok captain and his wife, Rachel, shared it on Instagram the young painter’s profile soared. Ricollin (23) was surprised and delight

Impala Park is a middle-class area in Boksburg, Gauteng, filled with tree-lined streets and suburban homes. It’s the last place you’d expect to find tigers – yet this is exactly what Dari Viljoen* found herself looking at.

Mariam Muza (31) is living in hell. A mass on the right side of her face has steadily grown since it started as small pimple last January. “I was at home when I first felt it. “It looked like a pimple and was a bit itchy. “I went to the clinic and they gave me some tablets to take, but that didn’t help and by March, it had started bleeding periodically,” says Mariam.

Wrestling fans were treated to a great show by South African Pro-Wrestling on Monday afternoon at the Springs Mall. There were three matches on the day and each was greater than the last one.
