With his debut album, Trading Change, he changed the music scene in 2014. This album gained gold status in South Africa, was crowned Album of the Year by iTunes SA and won multiple awards including MTV Africa Music Award for Best Pop & Alternative in 2015. Fast forward 4 years of awards, number one on all South African radio stations, touring with his inspirational modern folk music all around the world headlining festivals all over Europe, sold out shows in the US and now Jeremy Loops just launched his new album, Critical as Water. Before heading on his world tour, AWSUM had a chat with Jeremy.

We must start off by asking where were you in primary and high school? I went to Kommetjie Primary School. The local school in the village where I grew up. And then for High School, I was at SACS for a bit, before heading off to Reddam. Tell us about your inspirational music career, where and how did it start? I’ve always been artistically inclined, but I’m also deeply rational, and I realised early that the risk profile of majoring in something art-based was much higher than other industries. In university, I did a finance and property degree, but financial maths wasn’t interesting to me the way that art and music was. So I escaped to my guitar every chance I got. That slowly snowballed into where I am today. That’s not to say I wasn’t deliberate in deciding to really go for it, but rather that the start came from a place of escapism and passion, and just pursuing the avenues I felt were worth pursuing led me here. Congratulations on the launch of your new album. One of the singles, ‘Waves’, has garnered over 1 million streams since its release. Each project has its own obstacles. For every zig, there is a zag. Where there many when creating this album? I really struggled to get up to speed when I began writing this album. It took roughly a year to begin producing decent songs, and then another six months on top of that to begin producing good songs. I think a combination of fear and the pressure of expectation weighed heavily on me. I trusted myself, and slowly we began cobbling together something I feel is exceptional. The other major obstacle was managing cash flow, like any business. I’m completely independent and this album is entirely self-funded, and there’s huge financial exposure on something of this undertaking - hence why record labels continue to do well - but I’m happy with the decision to go about it this way.

You are the co-founder of Greenpop, please explain to our readers what Greenpop is about and the good work that you do. Greenpop is a tree-planting organisation that plants trees in under-green and underprivileged communities throughout Southern Africa. To date, we’ve planted more than 85,000 trees. While the overt aim is environmentalism and environmental education - hence the tree-planting - we also use it as a tool to bring communities together and uplift society. Greenpop is one of the things in my life I’m most proud of, and to quite literally watch trees you planted bear fruit and feed communities and improve people’s lives is rewarding in a way that’s quite difficult to explain. You are a Kommetjie Boytjie, do you enjoy going back to your hometown? Our family home is still there, so I’m home all the time. Many of my childhood friends still live out there, and those are relationships that are important to me. Our local surf break is also one of my favourites, so I have lots of reasons to go home to Kommetjie. It’s important to know and to embrace where you come from. After all the success and multiple awards, how do you keep your feet on the ground? By doing just that. Keeping your feet on the ground. I’m not distracted by material things and my goals and my family keep me motivated, so it makes it easier to keep sight of what got me here and to understand that the same philosophy will propel us forward. Okay, so we know you surf and like to plant trees but what do you do to relax? Spending time with my family, our dog Maya and being in the great outdoors as much as possible. Writing songs, when there is no deadline or pressure to deliver a new album, is another place I look to for relaxing. Your music is very uplifting and joyful, what inspires you to write such great songs? I write as a reaction to the world I’m in. For my first album, Trading Change, I was in a hopeful and

joyous space, so that informed those songs. This song has material that’s much darker, as in songs like Vultures and Underwater Blues, but that’s also a reaction to feeling like the world is a darker place than it’s been in a while. I find that if you’re open to life and to the world, inspiration is there just waiting for you to grab it. You just have to be open to receiving it. What do you see as success? Success is getting to wake up every day doing that which you wish to be doing with your time, whether professionally or personally. Wealth is not success. Acclaim isn’t success. Fame isn’t success. Success is quite literally being the master of your time and being content with how that time is allocated. If you can go back to high school, what would you do differently? Anything you want to tell the 16-year-old Jeremy? I find thinking back is dangerous because it’s to presume that the place you’re in now isn’t a good enough foundation to do the things you wish to do. All our mistakes and successes put us somewhere valuable to make new decisions and to create new opportunities from. So I’d say to 16-year-old Jeremy, ‘do you. We still have time to right the wrongs and to capitalise further on our rights.’ Any advice you can give to our AWSUM fans in school that want to follow a music career? Get the best education you can and study for as long as you can. And please do not make music your primary source of income at the beginning of your career. The less reliant you are on music to make money, the more likely you are to make music you are proud of. Only once your music career feels financially stable or you’ve mitigated as much of the risk as you can then should you jump in full force. You’re young. You have much more time than you realise… but also not that much. So get started! Perfect your instruments and skillsets, study, and live life receptive to learning from everything and everyone. http://jeremyloops.com/ Photo Credit: Taahir Matthews

Curry Queen Ishay!

Let’s Cook! Rahul’s Fried Fish Masala Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients • 45 ml (3 T) coconut oil • 2 medium onions, finely diced • 22,5 ml (1ó T) hot masala • 2,5 ml (ó t) turmeric • 2 medium tomatoes, finely • chopped • 375 ml (1ó C) water, plus extra if needed • Pack tamarind (25 g) soake in 100 ml hot water and strained • 600 g firm white fish (such as yellowtail), cut into • 50 g portions • Salt • 100 ml coconut milk • 5 ml (1 t) black mustard seeds • 6–8 fresh curry leaves • 4 green chillies, finely chopped • 6 dried red chillies, halved • 15 ml (1 T) julienned fresh ginger • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped • 7,5 ml (1ó t) ground coriander To serve Rice or chapatti

Locally, many cookbooks focus on regions or cuisines specific to a section of the population. This book follows a different trajectory. It includes recipes from people from all walks of life. You will find recipes for korma, vindaloo and masala, made with seafood, lamb, beef, tripe and even goat. From fiery, strong curries to curries with subtle flavours. As a 5th generation South African of Indian descendant, Ishay travelled for a year across the length and breadth of South Africa, meeting cooks from all over South Africa, the purpose was to find their store of culinary memories and expertise. Ishay explores the fascinating story of the South African curry. Spanning almost 90 recipes and conversations with more than 60 cooks and food experts, Ishay threads together these aromatic flavours - from a classic KwaZulu-Natal crab curry to the Cape Malay chicken and crayfish curry, from Calvinia offal to kasi beef, from Orlando West to Qunu. Learn to cook Karoo venison, kerkbasaar kerrie en rys and vegetarian dhals – recipes taken from respected local cooks as they share their stories and recipes. This is a true tour through South Africa’s soul. Ex-lawyer Ishay is an award-winning travel and food blogger. In her blog, Food and the Fabulous, she writes about locals, cuisines, travel guides, topical issues and current affairs. She also writes for a variety of print and digital media, including the Sunday Times Travel UK, Mail & Guardian, Business Day, Olive Magazine and Fine Dining Lovers, to mention a few. Coming from Durban I love nothing better than a good fish curry and this one Rahul’s Fried Fish Curry is delicious, give it a try.

Method

1. In a heavy-based saucepan, heat 15 ml (1 T) of the coconut oil and sauté the onions. When the onions have browned, add the masala and turmeric and stir for a few seconds. 2. Add the tomatoes. The tomatoes are ready when the oil rises to the surface after about 15 minutes. 3. Add the water and tamarind water. Bring to the boil and then lower the heat. Add the fish and salt and cook for 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. 4. Turn the heat off and remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the coconut milk and stir gently with a wooden spoon. 5. Heat the remaining 30 ml (2 T) coconut oil in a separate saucepan on high heat. Add the mustard seeds, curry leaves, chillies, ginger, garlic and coriander. 6. Cook on high heat for 15–20 seconds, then pour this over the fish.

The Helderberg-based school will have 9 returning first-team players from last year’s 22-man squad. Strand got their pre-season training off to a challenging start when nearly half their rugby squad was still involved with summer codes, but they made the most of the last few weeks with the entire squad training harder than ever. Kieron van der Merwe will be hoping that their fixtures against the likes of Brackenfell High and the tournament participation at Oakdale, where they will face Overberg High in their opening match, will cement an even stronger side heading into the rest of the 2018 season.

Twee van De Hoop se onderwysers, Me. Leandri Janse van Rensburg en Mnr. Stefan Sharp oefen al maande kliphard. Hulle gaan deelneem aan die African X om geld in te samel vir ‘n NPO (Home of Hope). Home of Hope ondersteun minder bevoorregte kinders wat nie ouers, opvoeding of ondersteuning kry t.o.v. dit nie. Hulle fokus veral op kinders wat met fetale alkohol sindroom gediagnoseer was. Mense van ons gemeenskap kan vir hul per km ‘n donasie gee (R1 per km), of enige vaste bedrag. Hul gaan 100 km oor drie dae voltooi. Mense kan vir my Me. Janse van Rensburg ‘n epos stuur vir die bankbesonderhede (leandriv@dehoopps.co.za). Enige donasie of ondersteuning sal ongelooflik baie waardeer word.

President’s Award – Gold for Shannon Barry

At the end of 2013, Robyn Keet, who was the Head Girl of Parel Vallei at the time, introduced The President’s Award to Parel Vallei. She had started the programme in her personal time, and was awarded her Gold level in 2014 at a ceremony attended by Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, the Earl and Countess of Wessex. Recently, Shannon Barry was presented her Gold Award by the Programme Manager for the Western Cape, Mr Jaco Maree, in a special assembly presentation. Shannon is the first Parel Vallei participant who has completed all three levels of the award in her time at Parel Vallei. To achieve a gold award, a participant must complete 72 hours of community service, show regular effort and improvement in both a selected skill and a physical recreation activity and undertake an adventurous journey of 80km over 4 consecutive days and 3 nights with no fewer than 4 peers. This must include 8 hours of activity per day. What sets the Gold level apart is the Residential Project. This involves sharing a purposeful activity with people who are not your usual friends, in an unfamiliar residential setting for at least 4 nights and 5 consecutive days. Shannon’s activities included successfully completing her driver’s licence and AP Maths as her skills; indoor and outdoor hockey for physical recreation; an 80km Franschoek Hike for an adventurous journey; and a residential project combining environmental and conservation projects, also in Franschoek with a local community. Her community service was truly commendable including service at Park Run, Mia’s Angels, Santa’s shoebox, Patch, Animal Welfare and even at the SPCA in White River while on holiday! Parel Vallei is very proud to congratulate Shannon on this special achievement.

Jaco Maree (Programme Manager Western Cape), Shannon Barry (Gold Award Holder), and Pam Ellis (Award Leader for Parel Vallei).

According to Ashlin Freddy, 1st team hockey coach of Paul Roos Gymnasium, preparations for the upcoming season has been tough with players still competing in summer sports. “Physically the guys are in reasonable shape, hockey-wise we are a bit underdone, to say the least.” Paul Roos has a tough fixture list for 2018 especially at the start of the season. “It will be very challenging for our new group. I think the group will grow and learn very quickly which I am excited about,” according to Freddy.” “We have 5 players from last year that played consistently and another two that were on the fringes.” Paul Roos has 16 boys hockey teams competing weekly. The coaching staff’s philosophy is to develop the players to be adaptable and expose them to as many different styles as possible. Freddy believes in giving the players more responsibility within the team setup. “We like the build-up to be controlled, yet very dynamic but not restricted to this. Defensively, a lot of emphasis is placed on the individual, therefore holding each player accountable within the team defensive structure” Their target is to develop players with hopefully one or two of them obtaining national recognition.
