AWSUM het die laaste paar maande `n ou historiese gebou in die Paarl gerestoureer om te dien as ons hoofkantoor. Die grootste uitdaging was die nuwe laag verf wat die mure, plafonne en dak sou kry en sonder die kundige hulp van JF Paints sou dié taak nie maklik gewees het nie. Elke mens wat al in hulle lewe gebou of gerestoureer het, weet dis nie `n maklike taak nie, en die een uitdaging na die ander staar jou in die gesig. So, as mens een minder kwessie het om jou oor te bekommer, het jy soveel meer tyd om op ander dinge te fokus en dis wat JF Paints vir ons beteken het - van die dag
wat hulle spesialis ons kom help het om die regte verf te kies, tot die dag wat ons besef het ons kort nog verf en hulle benoud gebel het.
Ons visie kon `n realiteit word en ons is opgewonde om vandag die foto’s met ons lesers te kan deel.
The idea to start AWSUM ten years ago, began due to the fact that my children were in primary school and it became apparent to me that mainstream and local media didn’t support schools on a large and ongoing scale. Very little was done to give learners the credit and praise they deserved for their academic and sporting achievements. There was some coverage of school news, but it seemed that the small amount published were simply to appease schools.
I noticed that in each and every school there were massive amounts of news in terms of sporting, academics and cultural activities and achievements. I decided to create a platform for schools to exclusively share news in a newspaper format that could stand alone and only focus on schools-a newspaper that could share positive news. Since most newspapers focus on negative, bad news, scandals, and stories of corruption to sell papers, this endeavour was a high risk one. Bear in mind that we had no prior knowledge of how newspapers operate in terms of news, layout, advertising costs and many other pertinent daily operations. We were not even knowledgeable with regards to the many kinds of paper thicknesses used in publishing a newspaper
We wanted to be different and focus on the parents of school children and it was thus of cardinal importance that the newspapers be distributed by schools, and that learners took these newspapers home and were not merely just another publication on the store shelves.
The following figures tell our story:
Every year we publish 4 newspapers in 22 regions on a national basis.
In February of each year, we publish 8 provincial newspapers that focus specifically on matric results.
We publish 50 special interschool editions every year.
Our annual career guide is a special edition that works with post-school educational institutions to provide matric graduates with further tertiary study information.
2.5 million parents follow our news every year via our online presence at www.awsumnews.co.za. Ten years has flown by in a heartbeat and there is much that we have learnt throughout this time and of which we are extremely proud. These include areas such as our online school-news platform www.awsumnews.co.za, which was launched 5 years ago to ensure unlimited and daily school news sharing. We currently share the ongoing news and achievements of more than 2 000 schools using this platform.
We would like to thank the schools, their marketing teams as well as the thousands of advertisers that continue to support this initiative on an ongoing basis. Without these individuals and our exceptional dedicated team, the past 10 years would not have been possible.
We have big plans for the future, and are looking forward to continuing to grow and provide quality news through our online and hardcopy publications as we take on the next ten years.

Proteas fast bowler Kagiso Rabada was awarded Test player of the year at the 2023 Cricket South Africa Awards and following his featuring in the top five Test wicket takers in the world this past season, the award was well deserved. Proteas fast bowler Kagiso Rabada told IOL Sport that it is his ‘will to win’ that continues to make him one of the best fast bowlers in the world.
Rabada has been playing for the Proteas for a good nine years and from the time he made his Proteas debut at the Adelaide Oval, it was clear that Rabada was cut from a different cloth; he was always on a league of his own.No one will forget his match winning performance in Perth in 2016 at the tender age of 21.
Post 2018, international cricket handed Rabada an important lesson that results won’t always go your way. Rabada says their 2019 World Cup campaign, which saw them knocked out before they could finish their round robin fixtures, taught him to rid of self-doubt and accept that on the day there’s a possibility you could end up on the losing side. “Personally, the 2019 World Cup taught me not to doubt and accept that there’s either defeat or success, and it’s about keeping success in your mind at all times.” said Rabada.
His eleven-wicket haul against Australia at St. George’s Park Cricket Stadium in 2018 will forever be remembered, but most importantly it was clear from those early years that Rabada was a different kind of beast.

The ups and downs of the past couples of seasons have not taken anything away from what makes Rabada special and he told IOL Sport that he attests all his success to his ‘will to win’.
“For myself I think what makes me so different and successful is my will to win,”said Rabada. “I mean, everyone is different but if you ask me what drives me it’s definitely my will to win.” He added.
“It’s all about welcoming the youngsters into the squad and making them feel a part of the team and making them understand where we want to go so that we are all in the same boat.” He added.
“Identity is important because it becomes what you go back to when things are going slightly off track,” explained Rabada. “It’s something you enhance when things are really going your way. It works as a reference; it acts as a compass as to what you want to achieve as a team.” He added.
There’s no doubt that the Proteas squad has the talent to go all the way in the World Cup this time around, but that journey starts with them coming up with their identity and their style of play and letting the rest take care of itself.
Looking at the squad, Rabada’s nine-year international experience will come in handy. Rabada says it’s a no brainer that he now has to step up and be the senior player in the team. “Because of my experience, how long I’ve been playing and what I’ve done, taking the senior player role is a no brainer for me,” said Rabada.
South African legends Jacques Kallis and Faf du Plessis have shared their thoughts on how the Proteas could fare at the upcoming ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 in India. South Africa head into the marquee tournament in India with a nice blend of youth and experience to pick from.
As good as the squad will be, the legendary all-rounder Kallis, speaking exclusively to the ICC, said the key for South Africa would be to stay true to their brand of cricket. “The one thing that needs to change for South Africa to be successful in a Cricket World Cup is to carry on playing the cricket that we’ve played going into the World Cup,” he said. “We have a history of playing good cricket leading into the World Cup. For some reason, things change. Maybe we want it too much. “I think players wanted too much and you’ve gone outside of the area you need to be doing. Maybe going outside of their roles because they wanted too much.”
Kallis had a valuable piece of advice to the current crop of players: “Stick to your roles. Trust the partner next to you. And just play the cricket you’ve been playing.” Kallis believes South Africa’s traditional strength – their pace attack – will once again be key for their hopes. “South Africa’s strength to me is going to be in our bowling attack,” he said. “We’ve got some quality pace bowlers that can blow away the opposition’s top-order. And I think they are going to play a major role if South Africa are going to get far, if we do get far (in the tournament).”
Kallis’ optimism was matched by former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis. “South Africa’s white-ball team is in a strong place,” du Plessis told the ICC. “They’ve got some real experience going into that World Cup.” Du Plessis, however, did warn that adapting to the conditions in the sub-continent would be the biggest challenge for Temba Bavuma’s men.
“The challenge for all teams that are not from the subcontinent is obviously always the challenge of going to the subcontinent,” he said. “Especially 50-over cricket. I find with T20 cricket, the surfaces are a bit more even. And you get some really good pitches. With 50-over cricket, you can get that wear and tear and the spinners really come into their own.”
Du Plessis however added that the home team, India, and serial winners Australia would be the teams to beat. “I think South Africa has got a really good side,” he said. “It will be hard to get past a team like India in home conditions. The other team you can never write off is Australia, with them being so successful in ICC events.”

An overview of the teams’ performances in every World Cup is given below. For each tournament, the number of teams in each finals tournament (in brackets) are shown.
The Cricket World Cup has thrown up some great moments down the years. Here are our top 5.
Pakistan’s progress through to the 1992 World Cup final was far from smooth. Rain saved them from suffering an almost certain defeat against fellow finalists England in the group stage, while they needed Australia to beat West Indies just to reach the last four. They then stunned New Zealand in the semifinals, with a young Inzamam-ul-Haq leading them home in an unlikely run chase at Eden Park, Auckland. Wasim Akram hit a quick 33 in his side’s innings of 249-6 in the final against England at the MCG, though that is not the reason why he makes the list. England had slipped to 69-4 in their reply, but Allan Lamb and Neil Fairbrother repaired the early damage with a fifth-wicket stand worth 72. However, Akram put paid to any glimmer of hope England had of lifting the trophy. The left-arm seamer dismissed Lamb and new batsman Chris Lewis in successive deliveries, both bowled on the angle. Pakistan went on to win the match by 22 runs, allowing skipper Imran Khan to lift the trophy.
Bowing out as a champion on home turf was the fairytale finish to Sachin Tendulkar’s World Cup career. In his sixth and final tournament, the Little Master was finally able to get his hands on the trophy as India chased down Sri Lanka’s total of 274-6 with 10 balls to spare. Although he had contributed just 18 runs with the bat, Tendulkar was obviously the centre of attention in the celebrations. The veteran batsman was carried around the Wankhede Stadium, his home ground in Mumbai, by his team-mates during the lap of honour. Virat Kohli rather beautifully summed up what the moment meant to both the player and the country as a whole, via Cricket Country: “Tendulkar has carried the burden of the nation for 21 years. It is time we carried him on our shoulders.” No player has managed more than Tendulkar’s tally of 2,278 runs in World Cup action.
A huge 221-run win for South Africa over the Netherlands in 2007 would not be so memorable were it not for the stunning batting feat produced by Herschelle Gibbs. The right-hander became the first player to hit six sixes in an over of international cricket during the group game in Basseterre. Daan van Bunge was the bowler on the receiving end of the record, the leg-spinner having no answer as Gibbs continuously launched him over the rope. A short boundary at Warner Park might have helped, but the ruthless display of hitting brightened up a day when rain had forced a delayed start to proceedings. Despite the match being cut to 40 overs each, South Africa still made 353-4. Jacques Kallis made an unbeaten hundred, though his efforts were overshadowed by those of Gibbs. Gibbs contributed 72 from 40 balls and managed only one other maximum in his innings before being dismissed by Luuk van Troost.
England have become accustomed to falling just short in the World Cup; they have reached three finals and lost them all. The closest they came to getting their hands on the trophy was back in 1987, when they took on Australia in front of a packed house at Eden Gardens.
Having held their Ashes rivals to 253-5, England looked to be on course for victory when skipper Mike Gatting and Bill Athey were together at the crease. The pair put on a 69-run stand for the third wicket to carry the score to 135-2 by the time Australia skipper Allan Border came on to bowl his left-arm off-spin. Facing the first delivery from his opposite number, Gatting opted to go for an adventurous reverse sweep. He made contact with the ball but only managed to deflect it into the air via his own shoulder, allowing Australia wicketkeeper Greg Dyer to take the catch. The wicket proved costly; with Gatting gone for 41, England lost their way and ended up finishing seven runs short of their target.
The weather has never been too kind to South Africa at World Cups. In 1992, they were denied the opportunity to reach the final when the rules for bad weather worked against them. They had been on course to beat England in Sydney, but delays in play resulted in them eventually being left needing an impossible 21 from one ball. Move on to the 2003 tournament, the Duckworth-Lewis method had been put in place to make sure the side batting first did not gain an unfair advantage. The Proteas were hosts and needed a win in their last group game, against Sri Lanka, to reach the Super Six. The threat of rain was a distraction for them as they tried to reach a target of 269, though a six from Mark Boucher off Muttiah Muralitharan seemed to put them ahead of the requirement. But they had only 229 on the scoreboard—the par total according to the Duckworth-Lewis method (h/t Cricket Country). Boucher, though, thought it was enough. He did not get a single run from the following delivery, the last of the over. The umpires took the players from the field after that, leaving South Africa to sit and watch as their dreams of glory washed away.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do! At Sutherland we are spoilt with immense talent. We started auditioning for this production at the end of March and were truly surprised at how difficult the audition process turned out to be. Learners showed us their talent in acting, dance and music and we finalised our cast with a total of 65 learners.
After four months of rehearing, we found ourselves super excited to put our production on stage for all to see. Our script was fun to work with and gave the actors tremendous comedic opportunities. We also chose magnificent music to complement the story. This was remarkably performed by our live band of talented musicians.
With Gladius, Minimus and Julia trying their best to rise from their lives as peasants and meet the princess the story unfolds. Senator Altilis, the fattened bird, and the messenger gave the audience lots to laugh about. Brudis, the gladiator, showed his size and strength causing us all to look forward to the gladiator games. But at the end it was Gladius who defeated Brudis and won the heart and hand of the princess.
A huge congratulations must go to the entire cast, dances and musicians who made this production such a success. The quality produced was outstanding and we are proud of everyone for their contribution. Behind every actor, dancer and musician was a dedicated and committed staff member. A big thank you to the staff for their ongoing support and guidance to culture at Sutherland. It is because of this teamwork that we can all be proud of the work we produce.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, at Suthies growth is continuously moulding the future, and the future is exciting!
