EMO ADAMS Emo Adams was only 9 years old when he stole the hearts of the audience members in David Kramer and Taliep Petersen’s musical, District 6. In 2007 Emo released his first CD, “Tall, Dark & Afrikaans”. Ever since he has been on the go entertaining audiences at big festivals and shows all over South Africa, TV series and his chat show, Jou show met Emo, which is one of kykNET’s most popular shows. AWSUM asked him a few questions about fatherhood and his plans for 2018.
What were the highs and lows of your school career? Meeting Nelson Mandela at our school. I sang an anthem to him which was known as the unofficial anthem back then. I did not know the words so I had to sing it off a page. There weren’t many lows during school. The only low was on my first day of Standard 6 (Grade 8) when the police raided our school. I would say that was my low. Any stories your old high school teacher would tell us? I really don’t know what my teachers would say, because I wasn’t loud. I was a quiet an average student and did not even make jokes or anything. March last year, you became a dad for the second time. What do you enjoy about fatherhood? I think everything. I have been an entertainer my whole life so fatherhood is very new to me and you learn something every day. It’s not like entertainment – you present something different, add a few lights and then it’s a new show, but with kids you learn something every day. The whole experience is what’s amazing to me. Rehearsal, shows, teething, nappies, what’s your recipe to keep all the balls in the air? If someone knows the concept of that recipe I would pay that person. Everyone’s life is different, so you try to fit everything you can into one day. The best I can do is to give 100% at work and 100% when I am home. That is like the best case scenario.

What do you do to relax? I don’t really relax, but if I do it’s with the family. Our family made a pact that every Sunday we will take a break from everything and spend time together. That was kind off our new year’s resolution and has worked well for us so far. Luckily my wife is taking me to Thailand for my birthday so that will be a nice vacation. Who is your biggest motivator/cheerleader? There are a few people, but my biggest cheerleader would be my wife. She supports me with everything that I do even if she thinks I’m taking on too much work or I need to take it slow. And then my manager Olivia Gildenhuys. She is the second one that will always motivate me to reach higher grounds and shoot for the stars. Also my friends, the group JAG, my parents and, like everyone, I have a lot of good people in my corner that always motivates me. You worked with a few big names in the industry, namely David Kramer and Taliep Petersen. Any life lessons you learnt from these icons that you want to share with the readers? You really do learn something from everybody and obviously the longest time of my career was with Taliep Petersen and David Kramer, but you learn so much of all the people. You steal with your eyes and learn, make mistakes and you try to improve. Even with my director Basil Appolis, we worked together for years and I know exactly what he wants. He inspires me to write my own scripts and to start producing and directing. There are quite a few people that inspire me, but I think for me, I would say the community of Mitchell’s Plain, because if you look at their

lifestyle you get inspired to try better. You can see that all of them try to do better in life and it gives me the courage to try harder. You and your wife, Michelle Gildenhuys is the perfect image of the new South Africa and that love conquers all. Any advice? She is a very good activist and example for what our country should be. I wouldn’t say it’s a new South Africa, you can only be “new” so many times but we must try to change the mentality of people or what they are used to. They say you can’t learn an old dog new tricks but you can teach the new people. That’s the reason why she does motivational talks at schools. The youth is the people you need to help and who can make a difference. She is definitely a great advocate for what this country should be. What’s on the horizon for 2018? The Emo 30 show for kykNET and my 40th birthday. It’s cool to know that you have been in the industry for so long and also relevant for so long. I know there were many before me and there would be many after me, but I have seen a lot of people come and go and you never hear from them again. Any funny memes that you saw lately? I don’t know, the last one a read was don’t be so ‘judgerag’…it is a word for when you judge people. What is you favourite hashtag? #awkard

School sports injuries
Winter is Coming
With the Easter rugby festivals behind us, the winter school sports season is well under way. The winter season tends to keep sports physicians and physios a little busier due to the fast and physical nature of these sports. Here’s a brief guide for pupils and parents on the common injuries seen in active school-goers. My university professor’s words still echo in my brain, “Children are not small adults!” I had little clue what he was talking about at that stage, but his words proved to be wise. The bodies of children and adolescents are very different to those of adults and our younger patients often suffer from injuries not seen in the adult population. Parents can benefit from being familiar with the common injury scenarios so that medical attention from a sports clinician can be sought promptly. School sports injuries can be divided into acute, chronic (overuse) and growth-related injuries.
Acute injuries An acute injury is any sudden sports injury caused by some form of trauma. This trauma can take the form of a collision, a fall, a slap with a hockey stick or some form of twisting injury to a joint. The vast majority of these injuries are contusions (bruises) and/or sprains and strains of ligaments or muscles. These injuries will usually heal well with rest, time and physiotherapy but more serious injuries will require assessment by a sports physician. Also in this category are fractures of bones. Children and adolescents sometimes sustain fractures which involve the growth plates of the bone, these injuries are potentially serious due to the possibility of growth arrest in the affected bone. Concussion is an acute injury which needs to be taken seriously. Concussion can be thought of as shaking of the brain resulting in various physical, cognitive and emotional symptoms. Every suspected concussion must be seen by an experienced sports physician who will guide decisions on return to sport as well as return to school. Concussion is common in rugby but occurs in almost every other sport (equestrian is the most common).
Parents should familiarise themselves with the signs and symptoms of concussion to be able to recognise it and seek help if necessary. sportsconcussion.co.za is a fantastic resource for parents, coaches and players.
Overuse injuries Our youngsters seem to be playing more sport than ever before and often practise or play every day of the week. This repetitive load on muscles, bones and joints can take its toll though and overuse injuries may result. Overuse injuries are more common in those athletes focusing heavily on just one sport for a long time. Playing lots of different sports is preferable to early specialisation. Overuse injuries of bone, known as stress fractures, are relatively common but overuse can cause pain in joints, ligaments, tendons and growth plates too. The cure for these injuries is often a period of rest and offloading of the affected area followed by a controlled return to activity and an adjustment of the training programme to avoid recurrence.
Growth-related injuries Children undergoing rapid growth may develop osteochondroses. These are self-limiting derangements of normal bone growth and usually require no specific treatment. Pain may present at various sites, but common ones include the back of the heel (Sever’s Disease) and below the knee (Osgood-Schlatter’s Disease).
Conclusion Sports injuries are common in school-going children. Most are not serious, and children usually bounce back in record time. Don’t hesitate to consult with a sports medicine professional for more serious injuries or those not responding to rest.

Die geleentheid het plaasgevind by die monument se Amfiteater op Paarlberg. Die koor onderleiding van Christine Meyer met begeleiding deur Jaco Besselaar het beindruk met hul twee werke, ‘We are young - M Donnelly’ en ‘Adiemus - Karl Jenkins’. ‘n Heerlike aand wat nog lank onthou sal word. Hierdie geleentheid het diep in die kinders se harte gekruip. Ons sien uit na volgende jaar se fees.
Belewenisweek Die seuns en dogters van Drostdy is behoorlik bederf tydens die jaarlikse Belewenisweek. Vir die dogtersaand op Donderdag 12 April, het Leah vir die dogters kom optree. Sy het hulle behoorlik op hulle voete gehad. Die tema van die aand was “#like_a_girl” en sy het die meisies geleer dat jy vir niks of niemand hoef terug te staan net omdat jy ‘n vrou is nie. Vir die seuns was die gaskunstenaar Jo Black. Hy het met hulle gedeel wat dit eintlik moet beteken om “that guy” te wees. Ons glo dat elke seun en dogter besef dat hulle vir Drostdy besonder spesiaal is. Baie dankie aan mev. Underhay wat al die reëlings getref het.
