Meet our AWSUM Miss South Africa 2017

AWSUMCelebrity Interview

“Tonight I stepped on this stage as Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters; I now greet you as Miss South Africa 2017.

Thank you.”

With these words, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters stepped into her role as a national role model for the women of South Africa and officially the most beautiful woman in the country. AWSUM News chatted to Demi-Leigh about her journey from the small coastal town of Sedgefield, where she matriculated with five distinctions at Outeniqua High School, to stepping into the national limelight.

Q Tell us about your journey to the Miss SA crown, which you won on 26 March 2017.

A I have dreamt of this my whole life, since I was just a little girl. At first I just admired the glamorous women walking on the Miss SA stage, but I have been inspired and motivated by their achievements. I have learned to work hard and do well at school and to push my limits. If I can make that difference to just one girl’s life, I would have done well. My dream came true – yours can too.

Q How did you feel when you were announced as Miss South Africa 2017?

A I was overwhelmed. It was an eight-month long process of blood, sweat and tears. The amount of work going into the campaign is staggering. I worked very, very hard for this, and am so deeply grateful that all this hard work paid off.

Q You have been in leadership positions and making a difference since you were at school. What were those positions?

A I was the first girl in my high school to be chosen as head girl of both my school and my hostel.

I was also elected as the Deputy Junior Mayor of the George City Council in Grade 11.

Q Tell us a bit more about your family.

A I grew up in two loving households. My parents got divorced when I was two years old and I am so lucky to have had four wonderful and supportive parents throughout my life. I never felt like anything was wrong, because this was my normal.

Q What do you do in your free time (if there is such a thing)?

A I like going to the gym for a good workout, and also to do ParkRuns. I love taking my two Yorkies, Benji and Baxter, for a walk. I also like reading – mostly fiction and science fiction, and also autobiographies. I have recently read The Alchemist and Charlize Theron’s autobiography.

Q What is your favourite food?

A I’m a real foodie! I am not fussy at all and eat just about everything. I love tucking into oxtail in a red wine reduction served with butternut and samp, and also barbeque pork rib with oven-roasted vegetables. And you can give me dark chocolate and good coffee anytime.

Q What do you plan to contribute during your reign?

I want to promote entrepreneurship and job creation for the women of South Africa. I hold a B.Com in Business Management and Entrepreneurship from North-West University and it will stand me in really good stead to follow in the footsteps of successful previous Miss South Africas such as Jo-Anne Strauss, Cindy Nell and Basetsana Kumalo.

Q What would you like to say to the young girls and young women of South Africa?

A When you believe in something, believe all the way. Don’t be scared to be different. Make your mark – you will find a way to to do anything that you are passionate about. When you look back, don’t

ask yourself ‘Why didn’t I?’ Nothing is impossible.

The word itself says ‘I’m possible’.

TWO SIDE S OF THE STORY

HOLEY MOLEY, BRO Torn, ravaged, distressed, slashed, ripped, whatever! As long as your sweater looks like it’s ready to be binned, it’s big news. Kanye West blew everyone’s mind with his range of destroyed sweaters riddled with holes and tears and now everyone wants a jersey that’s falling apart. Of course, it’s completely unisex, so girls you can borrow your guy’s beaten up pullover and you’re hot to trot.

Charcoal destroyed sweater, R499, Factorie.

Kanye West dropped the knitting needles when he designed his blockbuster tattered sweater.

A star wearing stars – what could be more on fleek?

Gigi Hadid lifts the bar another notch when it comes to the forever jeans and sneakers combo.

If you’re worried about that embarrassing white flaky stuff that settles on your shoulders, think again. It hits just about everyone at some time as dry scalp and / or dandruff is a common scalp condition. Add to that cold weather and heaters on full blast and scrunching up your hair under a beanie or cap can also add to the snow storm.

Check out that list of ingredients on the back of the bottle and if you see zinc pyrithione, you got it bae.

It’s the big guns found in products like Head & Shoulders Shampoo, R51.95 and Gill 2 in 1 Conditioning Shampoo, R41.95, which help to cool, calm and comfort an itchy or sensitive scalp.

If you want to be flake-free forever then you must use it at least twice a week so change up your in-shower routine. Don’t wash your hair with shower gel or soap and don’t use hair gels, sprays or styling products that contain alcohol, as they will dry out your scalp even more.

If after a month or so of sticking to your anti-dandruff routine, you’re still shedding and itching, get professional help and go see a dermatologist.

Fashionista and Guess model, Chiara Ferragni, adores velvet from top to toe and you can see why.

FIGHT THE FLAKES

FASHION

Sometimes guys and girls just have to be on opposite sides like these newest street styles. Pepe Sofianos sees it like this --- it’s all dress up for the babes in vampy velvet and super stars and dress down for the dudes in basic beanies and knock-down knits.

I’M LOVING… Anything and everything in velvet. One of the winter trends I am most excited about is rich regal velvet. You are going to love the feel, the look and the sheer fabulosity of it.

DRESSED UP

SHE WORE BLUE VELVET AND WAS NIBBLING ON A RED VELVET CUPCAKE…

Velvet is an all-time fave from theme songs to yummy eats, this fabulous fabric just says it all.

Get ready to wear velvet in nearly every way imaginable from chunky-heeled ankle shoes and brilliant bootees to chic chokers, gorge backpacks, flirty dresses and divine bodysuits, it’s luxe all the way. There’s no time like the present to get your velvet on.

@ PEPE SAYS

High neck tops are big news for guys.

Slouchy roll necks and funnel necks all work the look like rapper Jason Derulo’s take on it. They’re also perfect for layering under jackets and puffa vests when the big chill hits us.

SEEING STARS

They’re not just up in the sky or on Instagram, they’re all around you! Star-studded prints are the newest geometric print craze to run riot. You can star in your own starry-eyed selfies sporting starspangled styles that make even the most ordinary item look hot.

Even the guys are into it!

BOYS IN BEANIES

Beanies are basic and found in every guy’s DNA and wardrobe. They’re not only perfect in winter to prevent brain freeze but a street style musthave. This year they’re stripy, chatty or plain. Take your pick or rock one with a pom-pom but whatever you do always cover your ears and keep ‘em down snug otherwise you’ll Faded boyfriend land up looking like Snoopy, or jeans with star print, worse still, Droopy!

All things Gingery!!!

You can eat it, you can drink it, it’s wonderful in sweet dishes and equally delicious in savoury dishes, the wonderful juicy rhizome that turns food into something special.

Ever since I was a little girl I have been in love with ginger, my father used to make bottles and bottles of fiery ginger beer and he could never understand how my sister and I could gulp down litres of the fiery stuff from a tender age we loved it, in fact one batch was left to long and I think we got tipsy from it.

My grandmother used to make wonderful sticky ginger bread loaves and biscuits every week, we used to cut thick slabs of ginger bread and spread it with a thick layer of cold butter and top it with cheese, it was heaven, I’ve yet to taste a gingerbread like my granny used to make, sadly she took the recipe to her grave.

There is An old Indian proverb says that “everything good is found in ginger” and its true it is used in foods, drinks and medicines.

My granny used to make us ginger tea when we were feeling nauseous, or serve hot milk sweetened with honey with grated ginger. Ginger has wonderful properties, its anti-bacterial, antiinflammatory and anti-oxidant, You can even add ginger to baths and foot soaks.

Because of ginger’s anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial action, it may help keep skin clear and free of blemishes. It may also help fight skin discolouration and aging, both when consumed and topically applied.

Ginger may even help your sex life. The famous Arab physician Avicenna wrote that ginger “increases lustful yearnings”, and ginger appears in the Kama Sutra. Rat studies confirm that ginger may help increase testosterone. But enough of that, let’s make some sweet stuff with ginger.

Sam Linsell, top South African food stylist and Drizzle and Dip blogger – has done it again with beer, this time creating a triple ginger and stout cake with a stout butterscotch sauce.

“If you are a lover of all things ginger in baked goodies like I am, then this one is for you,” she says.

“I have used three types of ginger which each add their own ‘gingery’ flavour dimension as they act as independent components.

They also do not overwhelm, so if you are a real ginger-head, you can add more.

The cake itself is not overly sweet with the stout bringing a smidge of desired bitterness to the flavour. A rich amber caramel sauce is made with the remainder of the beer.

Let’s Let’s Cook!!

Triple Ginger and Stout Cake Cooking notes: • Pre heat the oven to 180 °C and line a 20–22cm square or round cake tin with baking paper.

• If you are making this in advance, heat the sauce up a little before serving.

• Recipe makes a one-layer cake.

•

• • •

Ingredients •

Cake • ¾ cup Castle Milk Stout Chocolate Infused • 120g of butter • ½ cup (110g) brown treacle sugar or muscovado • ¼ cup golden syrup • 1 free-range egg • 1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger • 1 tablespoon finely chopped preserved ginger in syrup • 1 teaspoon ground ginger • ½ teaspoon salt • pinch of white pepper • pinch of ground nutmeg • 1¾ cups (230g) flour • 1 teaspoon baking soda

• •

•

Stout butterscotch sauce • 1x 340ml bottle Castle Milk Stout Chocolate Infused • 2 tablespoon butter • 1 ½ cups sugar • 1 cup cream • 1 teaspoon vanilla • 1–2 teaspoon/s sea salt flakes

Instructions • To make the cake, place the stout and butter in a small pan and bring it to boiling point. Cook briefly and stir until the butter has dissolved.

•

•

Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool a little.

Add the stout and butter mix to a large bowl with the sugar and golden syrup and whisk until it’s well combined.

Add the egg and whisk again.

Add all the spices and whisk.

Sift the flour and baking soda in by hand and whisk briefly until smooth (it will be fairly runny).

Decant this into a lined 20cm cake tin (square or round), tap the filled pan to remove and bake for 30–35 minutes. The cake is done when it’s springy to the touch and when a sharp knife pierced into the thickest part comes out clean While the cake is baking, make your butterscotch sauce.

The quantities make a little more than you need for the cake but store the rest in a sterilised jar and use with other desserts.

Bring the Castle Milk Stout Chocolate Infused and butter to the boil in a medium-sized pan and allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes until it has reduced by more than half. Add the sugar and continue to let this cook, stirring frequently until it reaches 110 °C on a sugar thermometer. This will take around 15 minutes.

When it has reached temperature, add the cream while stirring constantly. Carry on cooking this until it thickens more. Once it has reached 105 °C on the thermometer, it is ready. It will also thicken more as it cools.

Let the cake cool to room temperature and then pour the warm sauce over to serve. Keep any extra on the side to serve.

A Miss Girls’ High finalist must have fun, be a leader as well as a teamplayer, a good conversationalist, humble and friendly.

Previous celebrity winners were Tammy Ann Fortuin (television personality) (1998) and Sheron Scheepers (international model) (2015). This glamorous event will be held on 18 May at Paarl Town Hall with MC television personality Nico Panagio and celebrity judge Marciel Hopkins (finalist Miss SA 2016).

LA ROCHELLE GIRLS’ HIGH SCHOOL Penn Relays Die Larries het onlangs die eerste SuidAfrikaanse skool geword om aan die Penn Relays, aangebied deur die Universiteit van Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, te gaan deelneem.

Ongeveer 15 000 atlete het oor drie dae deelgeneem. Hierdie byeenkoms is die oudste en grootste byeenkoms in die VSA en atlete moet kwalifiseer om te kan deelneem.

Die byeenkoms bestaan hoofsaaklik uit aflosse: 4x100m, 4x400m, 4x800m en wisselaflosse. Die afrigter, André van der Burgh, het hoofsaaklik gefokus op die 4x400m-aflos, maar hulle sou ook deelneem aan die 4x100maflos.

In die 4x100m-aflos het die span in die Klein Skole-afdeling 88ste uit 350 skole gekom en vyfde in hul uitdun met ‘n tyd van 51,8 sekondes. Die Larries se hoof-doelwit was om hul uitdun in die 4x400m-aflos te wen. In elke uitdun hardloop 14 spanne. Die geel blitse het uitdun 16 gewen in ‘n tyd van 3:52,12 en so 23ste gekom uit 608 hoërskole.

La Rochelle het huis toe gekom as die trotse houers van die Penn Relay-skild en vier medaljes vir elke lid van die 4x400m-aflosspan!
