Skhumba and Glen Lewis open up about the struggle to ask for help
Katlego Sekhu Drive 959 We all have our own struggles. For some, there’s a sense of honour in facing those challenges alone and eventually being able to say, “I did it,” once success is achieved. But could we be clinging to unhelpful ideas of hyper-independence and self-sufficiency not out of strength, but out of pride?

WATCH: When animals see themselves in a mirror for the first time
Katlego Sekhu Photo by Ricardo Martínez González: https://www.pexels.com/photo/cat-looking-at-its-reflection-11924843/ When animals first encounter their reflection, their reactions offer fascinating insights into animal cognition.

Thanks to social media, the phrase has gained traction as some women openly express a preference for relationships where men go far beyond the traditional standards of being a gentleman.

‘A nap is a must’: What we realise we need more as we get older
Katlego Sekhu Glen Lewis There’s no denying that a major shift happens between our younger years and adulthood. When we’re young, the body bounces back quickly and needs far less daily care.
