New perspective. Lanvin are preparing to launch their first limited-edition of Jeanne Couture just in time for Valentine's Day in February of To be able to bring it all together in such a way in Ethiopia is very exciting. Since moving to New York for her modelling career at the age of 21, she has been driven by a deeply entrenched desire to place a spotlight on Ethiopia. The holistic village just outside Addis Ababa provides them with education, nutrition and healthcare. Now that she is living in Ethiopia, Anna is able to visit the centre on a weekly basis.
Whilst hardship remains in Ethiopia, the country has come a long way since the famine days of Live Aid — a stigma that still persists despite it being one of the fastest growing economies in Africa. Thanks to the vision of people such as Anna Getaneh, a modern renaissance of Pan-Africanism has emerged. These campaign images were shot on an openroof, double-decker bus with backdrops of iconic landmarks in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.
Some questions never get old; no matter how much we think we evolve. The topic causes a lot of anxiety for men because everyone at some point wonders, does size matter? There is more variation in the size of flaccid penises. But before you whip out your ruler to measure your partner, here are a few facts on whether or not penis size matters as much as we think it does.
Judging from the number of penis enlargement advertisements around South Africa, one has to wonder exactly what men are so worried about when it comes to the size of their penises. Men are generally concerned with their penis size because it is one of many things that society has emphasised as a sign of masculinity, says Welile Khumalo, a relationship counsellor. A study done at the University of the West of Scotland in showed that women who had vaginal orgasms had a preference for longer penises.
As I grew in my sexuality, I learnt that I have a preference for medium-sized to big penises as it heightens the enjoyment of sex for me. While bigger is better for some, other studies show that there is such a thing as. Positions such as your man entering you from behind a. As the founder and managing director of Zanenza Communications, Zandile Nzalo has come a long way from her rustic childhood days in Swaziland.
With her innate confidence and strong sense of self, Zandile believed she was destined for stardom as a musician and entertainer. Although she eventually grew out of this stage, her love of music and entertaining did not die. Indeed, it is at the heart of her career trajectory — from radio to television production, event management and business leadership — what connects her path is a passion for uplifting others through her powerful voice and inspiring vision.
Of course, it was a time characterised by political turmoil and strife. Boy, was I in hot water after that! It was truly amazing. Yearning for a new challenge, she decided to leave her cushy job in and establish her own business. Birthed in her backyard cottage with just one telephone cum fax machine and a handful of contacts, Zandile fully surrendered to the world of PR with her company, Zanenza Communications.
Despite her fierce determination and years of success in the industry, the sacrifices that came with starting afresh were innumerable. She credits her husband at the time, radio personality Bob Mabena, with supporting her during this transition. Today, Zanenza Communications deals with everything from PR, event management and stakeholder management to sponsorship facilitation and media coaching.
The percent black woman-owned agency has a diverse clientele ranging from the private sector, government and state-owned enterprises to non-profit organisations. She realised that they thus owned no assets and remained reliant on third parties — mostly white-owned companies. The investment was high and required an extensive makeover for the company, with the acquisition of new business premises to host a showroom, warehouse facilities and offices for the existing communications division.
Ultimately, this gutsy expansion is reaping rewards for the business. The Zanenza Communications team who work with Zandile are a dynamic bunch of individuals.
This prestigious luncheon was attended by over guests, including politicians, business leaders and female CEOs. The event culminated in a cocktail dinner, which proved to be the perfect networking opportunity for women in business.
Yet it is her work of motivational speaking and youth empowerment that Zandile finds most rewarding. The journey towards her role as a motivational speaker culminated in a profound aha! Whilst working on a project for the Centre for Economic Development Population Activities in , the interactions she had with young people shed light on how disillusioned, demotivated and highly pessimistic they were. This eventually led to her establishing FindYoFayah, a youth development programme featuring motivational talks, mentoring and achievement initiatives.
Her passion for youth empowerment extends to her home life as well, being a dedicated and highly involved mother who aims to give as many opportunities as possible to her children. Her passion for constant self-improvement is infectious, with self-help books a particular source of inspiration. Her home life is abundant with love and nurturing, shaped by a desire to remain fit and healthy. In comes a new love and after some time, you start wondering if you should introduce him or her to your children.
Hold it off for as long as possible, advises Sowetobased social worker, Sikazele Khumalo. While the timing of when the big introduction takes place is very person and situation specific, there are a few issues to keep in mind before that day dawns. This could mean that he will receive more hostility when they do meet him because they will know he is the source of you being away from them.
Before you take the leap of making introductions, you and your partner need to have serious conversations about your relationship. Some of the hard questions include: if he is interested in being a present stepfather; if the two of you have intentions to be in the relationship long term, and how you both see the situation of a blended family working out.
The other relationship status you need to look at is the one with your children. Are you and your kids in a good space?
Have they settled down and accepted your split with their father? You need to make sure that your children are feeling loved and very secure when you finally make that introduction. While your friends may be happy to hear you gushing about your new love, your children, especially if they are young, are not interested. It needs to be in the most comfortable place for your children and it needs to be laid-back and quick.
Having your boyfriend come over to a braai where there will be other people is a good idea. Introduce him as your friend and leave it at that for the initial meeting. Keeping the relationship low key at this point may seem a bit weird, but this makes the transition smoother for your children. Things that are overt can do more harm in the long run, whereas small steps can lead to a smoother transition over time.
Make sure you really do your homework before bringing any man around your children. Is he a trustworthy person? These are all important questions that need to be answered, says Khumalo.
They are people who love you and your children, so let them vet him before he gets the honour of meeting your children. Finding an even keel between parenting and working can be quite the task, and every woman has her own way of maintaining this unique balance.
And one that can reap the richest of rewards. While at work, your thoughts are with your child and their wellbeing. Juggling the many different roles in your life can indeed be a challenge. In the quest to find that mythical balance between career and family, certain truths have emerged to help mothers along the way….
Of course, she went on to say that she is not like most moms. Indeed not! If all mothers had at their disposal an endless supply of nannies, housekeepers and chefs — not to mention a fulfilling career where their kids can travel with them and be provided for, as well as a supportive partner who equally provides so amply — the question of guilt would become redundant. According to clinical psychologist Vossie Goosen, all women feel a certain amount of guilt or anxiety when returning to paid employment.
Entrepreneur and mother of two sons, Lydia Phala, says that the support and partnership she has with her husband has allowed them both to achieve fulfilment in their careers. Running her businesses, LP Dining and Confectionery, and MDP Marketing, which specialises in sports event management, can place huge demands on her time. They need to feel safe, loved and nurtured, so that you can feel relaxed when at work. As women, we are often socialised to be people pleasers, trying to fulfill the needs and desires of all those around us.
It also gives you the opportunity to evaluate who and what drains you, as well as what lifts you. After having her second child, Lydia left her job as a flight attendant at SAA so she could have more time with her family. But instead of this meaning an end to her career, it became the start of something new. The notion that women can have and do it all has probably left most of us feeling inadequate. As Deborah L.
Instead of trying to separate the different aspects of ourselves, and roles we play each day, a more holistic approach is key. Indeed, we are never one or the other. Finding fulfilment in the different roles we play lies at the heart of a more balanced life.
Books, feminism was meant to remove a fixed set of expectations; instead, we interpret it as a route to personal perfection. Because we can do anything, we feel as if we have to do everything. The expectations placed on women today are staggering — not only do we need to be perfect career women, wives, mothers and daughters, we also need to be gourmet chefs with rock-hard abs and a rich social life. In rejecting these superficial expectations and finding what authentically fulfils and sustains you most, you are able to build a life that is ultimately much more rewarding.
The path towards balance is accepting that certain areas may suffer as your attention is placed on what is most important at the time. This could mean that I want to be at home with my sons and yet still have a number of tasks to complete before I head home.
In its official definition, polyandry is the practice of one woman taking two or more husbands. This is a form of polygamy — which means any marriage to two or more partners — and its opposite is polygyny: many wives. Hers is an emotional polyandry. No one should feel intimidated or trapped. Everyone must be free to love fully and unconditionally.
Anyone jealous was out! Each had approached her romantically, but, as time went by, a relationship developed between each of the men and Tu — something that was romantic in the sense of gaining and sharing an emotional depth with each other, but just without the actual sex. They take care of each other in a way that is respectful. There is one man in her circle of male relationships that still holds out hope that they will enter into a fully romantic relationship.
He is jealous of her other relationships — one in particular. But generally everyone seems to get on harmoniously.
After all, this way of living is nothing new. The popular Hindu epic poem Mahabharatha — which dates back to around BCE — tells the tale of a woman who has five husbands, and there is ample evidence that suggests polyandry was a way of life for many north Indian tribes. In fact, polyandry is still practised in India today, mostly in the northern regions bordering Tibet, where it is also practised though in Tibet, the Chinese government has made it illegal — and for good reason.
In northern India and Tibet, the land is mountainous and very difficult to farm. You need large plots to keep any farm sustainable. To avoid splitting up the farms — and to help work the land — one woman will marry several brothers in a family. The land will not be divided among the brothers but will be owned and worked by all of them. The children of the woman recognise all the men as fathers and are protected and taught by each of them.
This is classic polyandry. A non-classic form of it is practised by the Inuits previously called Eskimos. A husband would arrange another husband usually his brother for his wife to protect her and the family while he was out hunting, and in case he was killed.
A similar situation can be found in the Bari people of Venezuela. Though a woman does not officially marry or live with several men, two men can be socially recognised as the father of one child. The society believes that a child in utero is fathered by whomever the mother has sex with during her pregnancy. Children with two fathers are more likely to survive to the age of 15 than those with only one because of the extra protection and support offered to the child. But anthropologists have known about these cases of polyandrous societies for years.
What is surprising is that, until last year, it was thought polyandry was restricted to these few obscure tribes. But American anthropologists Katherine E. While there is some evidence that the Masai people have permitted polyandrous relationships, by and large it is practised in Nigeria. Dominican scholar Nkuzi Nnam, who focuses on the role of women in African societies, writes about the Igbo people, who are a matrilineal tribe in which the women are allowed to take one or more husbands.
American anthrolopolgist Walter H. Sangree found that the Irigwe. Here at home polyandry is uncommon. But in South Africa there is in fact one society that does sanction polyandry — though not in any of the traditional senses.
The Balobedu people of Limpopo are headed by a queen, the Modjadji or Rain Queen, who is said to have power over the rain. The Modjadji throne is passed down the matrilineal line — no male can sit on it. The Modjadji had several wives they were more like handmaidens and were usually the daughters of the surrounding chiefs but no husband. She could have several partners at once. There is no reigning Rain Queen now.
The last Queen, Makobo Modjadji, died in , but left a daughter who will take the throne when she comes of age. So perhaps the concept of polyandry is not so very strange in South Africa after all. During one interview, a man being interviewed with the musician got very emotional and worried about what she was saying about her choice to practise emotional polyandry. He wanted her to shut up. Another man jokingly said he wanted to hide his wife before she heard what Tu was saying. She believes that men here feel so alienated by the concept because we are a very patriarchal country.
Polyandry unbalances the very structured power relations in South Africa between men and women. But in fact it empowers women to be emotionally free. You want this thing that is so precious to you, but once the woman commits the man looks outside the relationship.
It is not about love — and certainly not about unconditional. The love is very contingent and conditional. It will have to be with her perfect partner, with whom she shares a mindset. So the marriage would happen only for practical or legal reasons. It will have no other real bearing. They will already be connected physically, emotionally and spiritually.
But even in marriage, Tu will remain an emotional polyandrist. I cannot imagine myself living a full life at optimal level without that kind of freedom. As we immerse ourselves in the month of love, protecting our hearts must be foremost in the minds of all women.
Just think about that for a second. But if one considers how little awareness there is around heart disease and stroke for women, it becomes quite a dire matter. Recent studies have shown the lack of. According to Johannesburg cardiologist Dr Yasmin Bera, this is largely due to it still being thought of as a male disease. And even for those who do survive, the repercussions are often worse for women. This is compounded by the fact that warning signs for women are not always the same as for men — even though most of what we hear about the disease relates to men.
Women are thus far more likely to end up with a diagnosis of heartburn or gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, or even stress or depression. Moreover, women are less likely to be prescribed aspirin in prevention of a second attack, less likely to receive sophisticated pacemaker models and less likely to be recommended for potentially life-saving cardiac surgery. These discrepancies in care claim the lives of many women, who should receive better treatment sooner.
Exercise regularly: The minimum amount should be the equivalent of brisk walking for 30 minutes five times a week. Maintain a healthy weight: Obesity can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, each of which boosts the risk of heart disease. Keep your body mass index BMI below Eat healthy: Maintain a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables, few fried foods, and less salt and refined sugar.
Control high blood pressure: Exercise and eating healthily, particularly lowering salt intake, can help. Medications can also be used to lower blood pressure. Manage diabetes: Adults with diabetes are two to four times more likely to have heart disease. Type 1 diabetes can be controlled with insulin. Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes can be controlled through proper nutrition and exercise. Which brings us to the heart of the matter, so to speak. Why are more South Africans dying from cardiovascular diseases than ever before?
Dr Bera points to an increase in urbanisation, which leads to changes in health and diet. Smoking and alcohol consumption certainly play their part too, with the risk of stroke being doubled for those who smoke. It affects women of all ages, including those in their twenties and thirties.
It accounts for a third of all deaths in women worldwide, and yet, quite unbelievably, this is almost entirely preventable. Sunglasses, R2 , Persol at Luxottica. Bathrobe, R, Linen House.

Growing up in Tshakhuma in rural Venda Limpopo Province , I remember my parents working hard and yet we barely made ends meet. I always did very well academically, which placed me in the spotlight. Poverty taught me perseverance and I used it, and the painful remarks, to keep me academically focused.
Q I heard that you got your first pair of shoes at the age What was the significance of those shoes? Not having shoes because of poverty was always one of the many talking points about my abilities and me. But my school achievements finally paid off when I was able to secure a bursary from the Lutheran Scholarship Fund for my last two years of high school.
I used part of the money to buy my first pair of shoes. Q What were the main driving forces that kept you going academically and eventually graduating from Wits University in Johannesburg? Despite the deprivation, I believed in my abilities and myself.
If you are driven and you persevere against all the odds, you will triumph, both professionally and financially. I heard about it from one of my friends, Aifheli Netshivhodza, who went to school at one of the best government schools, Mbilwi. That school was better equipped than my school and they knew everything about career. It is different in the sense that it focuses on matters that drive the economy, whereas other branches of law focus on the social aspects and liberties.
Through Aifheli, I heard about career choices and the top universities. I discovered that Wits was the best university with the best law school in the country and, for me, it was important to learn amongst the best. I understood that by associating with people who inspire me, and who are doing better than me, that I would also grow academically and professionally. My experiences and curiosity as a child steered me towards law.
I always wondered why white people had such privileged lives compared to black people. I remember being told, when I asked about it, that the situation was regulated in the big law books that were kept in Pretoria. I wanted to read those books, and so my passion for law took shape. We are an African firm with unique insights, in that we understand the challenges that the majority of citizens face on a daily basis.
We have practical experience and we see our clients as people we share the same vision with. Q With both you and your wife running your own law firms, how do the two of you balance your careers with family life and parenting? I drop our daughter off at school in the morning and my wife picks her up in the afternoon. Unless it is absolutely necessary to work, weekends are exclusively reserved for family.
My parents never speak about my achievements, but I know they are as proud of me as I am grateful for the values they instilled in me during my formative years. All the signs were there — he would always be tired; he would repeatedly turn down her sexual advances; he would barely touch his dinner, and be irritated by simple questions their children would ask him.
We were in our late teens and sex hungry for each other, and that sexual energy and love lasted all the way into our early thirties, which was a good indication that we were meant for each other. What would start out as a foot massage often led to passionate lovemaking. Everything was good. Our boys were growing and would soon be in school. And so, again, Prince changed jobs for more money. She did all she could to find out if he was cheating on her, but all along the problem was something she had never even gave a second thought to.
The truth was that Prince had not turned away from her, but rather he had turned into himself because he felt increasingly unable to cope at work. The common perception is that men constantly think about sex and are always ready to make love. However, a survey for Ukmedix. Dr John Demartini, an American researcher, best-selling author and public speaker on human behaviour, says online that the causes of libido dysfunction are many and varied in both sexes, and can involve psychological as well as physical factors.
He has always been a proud man and just wanted the best for our kids and me. Prince has since left his job and now does contract work on oilrigs. He is away for weeks at a time, but Salome says absence really does make the heart grow fonder. I imagine most women, like myself, will also leap to the conclusion that their men are unfaithful were they confronted with this problem. I know so much more about it now and even understand, and have prepared myself for the possibility that it could happen again when we hit our fifties.
Levels dip as men age; other causes include chronic disease, medications, and other drug use. Other hormones can play a role, too, such as low levels of thyroid hormone or, rarely, high levels of prolactin, a hormone produced in a gland at the base of the brain. Dr Goldstein, like many experts, agrees that open and honest discussion is the first step to seeking a solution.
As with all illnesses, they point out that early detection can almost always result in effective treatment. One gay best friend. One fine young Italian soccer player. Mama mia! Things are about to get messy But even honeymoons can experience a little bad weather, as I discovered during our recent trip to Mauritius.
