AWSUMCelebrity Interview Leandie du Randt is ‘n aktrise, aanbieder, seremoniemeester, motiveringspreker en skrywer van die selfhelpboek Gemaklik In Jou Eie Lyf. Sy is baie bekend vir haar rolle in sepies soos Binnelanders en Getroud met Rugby en films soos Semi-Soet en Klein Karoo. Sy het al verskeie toekennings in die bedryf ontvang en was tweede in Seisoen 7 van Strictly Come Dancing South Africa. Ons het met haar gesels oor die nuwe trefferfilm, Jagveld, wat in Maart landwyd in teaters vrygestel word, en die lewe oor die algemeen.

V: Jou selfhelpboek vir tieners, Gemaklik In Jou Eie Lyf, was ‘n blitsverkoper. Wat het jou inspireer om die boek te skryf? Wat het jy gehoop om te bereik? Sou die advies in hierdie boek jou as tiener gehelp het?

A: Ek glo graag dit sou vir my van nut wees toe ek ‘n tiener was. Ek het dit geskryf om meisies te inspireer om hulleself te wees in ‘n tyd waarin ons gebreinspoel word om ‘n sekere manier te lyk en te wees. Moet jouself met niemand vergelyk nie, want jy is jy en niemand kan beter as jy daarmee wees nie – fokus daarop en waardeer dit.

V: In Jagveld, die filmweergawe van nog ‘n Deon Meyertopverkoper, speel jy die hoofrol van Emma le Roux. Die film handel oor Emma wat ‘n moord sien plaasvind en die moordenaars wat haar jag soos sy vlug. Emma is egter die dogter van recce Jacques le Roux, wat haar alles geleer het wat hy weet. Niks in die jagtog loop reg nie en dit gaan uiteindelik oor oorlewing van die sterkste. Vertel ons hoe hierdie rol anders was. Wat was die uitdagings? Wat het dit vir jou as aktrise beteken?

A: Al wat ek nou mag sê is dat ek mal is oor die rol en die film is ‘n moet van 17 Maart 2017 af – dit is definitief ‘n eerste vir SA!

V: Wat is jou beste raad vir tienermeisies om gesond en gelukkig te wees en hoe om met liggaamsbeeldkwessies om te gaan?

A: Leef ‘n gebalanseerde lewe. Word gesonder deur goeie kos te eet en oefening te kry – nie net om dun te wees nie, maar om fisies gesond die beste jy aan die buitekant te wees, maar selfs meer belangrik aan die binnekant. Dit maak nie saak dat jy soos ‘n godin lyk, met ‘n seer of vuil hart nie – dan verdwyn die uiterlike en besef jy dis nie so vervullend soos jy dink nie. Alles begin in jou kop en gedagtes – wat jy dink, is wat jy word, so dink dankbare gedagtes en glo dat enigiets moontlik is. Probeer gesond leef 80% van die tyd en breek uit 20% van die tyd. Ons almal het verskillende liggame en vorms, so moet nooit probeer soos iemand anders lyk nie – jy sal nooit daarin sukses behaal nie; probeer om die beste te lyk wat jy weet jy kan. Dit is nie ‘n kompetisie nie, want niemand is jy nie.

V: Wat was die hoogtepunt(e) van jou loopbaan sover?

A: Een van hulle is om na 60 verskillende dorpe te toer met my selfhelpboek en motiveringspraatjie, #NoOneCanBeatYouAtBeingYou in 2016. ‘n Ander een is om ‘n aksierol te kan speel in Jagveld, wat op 17 Maart 2017 in teaters landwyd open.

V: Wat is jou grootste droom op die oomblik? Wat wil jy regtig baie graag professioneel bereik?

A: Ek sal graag in internasionale produksies wil optree, waar die begrotings dit moontlik maak om vir maande vir jou rol voor te berei, en om my motiveringspraatjies internasionaal te doen.

V: Watter professionale akteur/aktrise is jou rolmodel.

Hoekom?

A: Ek het baie rolmodelle vir verskillende dele van my lewe en loopbaan en dit hang af van watter fase ek in my lewe is. Maar ek is erg oor Kate Hudson, Alicia Vikander en Nina Dobrev.

V: Jy het Bedryfsielkunde studeer – jy het uitgeblink, met twee grade cum laude! Hoe het dit gebeur dat jy in die vermaakbedryf beland het?

A: Dankie. Ek het Mej. Persoonlikheid gewen in ons eerstejaarkonsert en die prys was Brümilda van Rensburg se dramakursus. Sy het my opgelei en met die regte mense en geleenthede in aanraking gebring, en omdat God enigiets kan doen, het alles mooi saamgeval.

V: Jy het tweede gekom in Seisoen 7 van Strictly Come Dancing South Africa. Hoe was hierdie ondervinding? Wat het jy geleer? Wat het jy die meeste geniet?

A: Dit het my lewe verander. Ek het besef dat dit nie saakmaak hoe oud jy is nie – jy kan altyd nog ‘n nuwe vaardigheid aanleer en iets bereik as jy werklik hard werk en dit in jou hart glo. Ek is baie lief daarvoor om hard te werk en resultate te bereik. My verstand het ook sterker geraak deur al die stres en druk op lewendige TV. Ek sal vir altyd dankbaar wees vir die fantastiese ondervinding en vir my dansmaat, Brandon Eilers le Riche, en sy pragtige vrou, Natalie, wat my afgerig het, asook my man, Bouwer Bosch, wat my geestelik, fisies en emosioneel ondersteun het. Jy besef hoeveel mense se ondersteuning vir jou beteken en dit maak jou baie nederig.

V: Vertel ons oor jou kinderjare en waar jy grootgeword het.

A: Ek het grootgeword in ‘n klein dorpie, Makwassie, totdat ek nege was en ons Kempton Park toe getrek het. Ek was baie gelukkig om te kon opgroei in ‘n liefdevolle en ondersteunende huis en gesin. My pa is ‘n dominee, my was ‘n onderwyseres en my broer is ‘n CA. My ma is in 2014 oorlede.

V: Jy het die knoop deurgehaak met Afrikaanse sanger Bouwer Bosch laat in 2015 met ‘n ou, verlate fabriek as die perfekte agtergrond vir die sprokiestroue. Hoe is die getroude lewe vir jou?

A: Al wat ek kan sê is dat ek so dankbaar is om met my beste vriend getroud te wees.

V: Wat beplan jy vir 2017?

A: Weer baie praatjies, en films – en in hierdie wêreld is enigiets moontlik, so laat ons sien!

After much festive feasting when our belts are so tight we have to make another hole in it, it’s time to consider our New Year’s Resolutions and put them into practice, Haaaaa easier said than done after all the delicious things we have been consuming and the thought of a few lettuce leaves and a boiled egg doesn’t sound so appetizing, that where Lose It! enters the picture: this cook book is full of tasty recipes and howto advice – dieting just became delicious!

Filled with delicious and easy low-carb, high-fat recipes for the busy home cook, this is a beautifully photographed addition to the healthconscious South African cook’s shelf. The cookbook is compiled from favourite recipes from Lose It! Magazine, the magazine dedicated to lowcarb, high-fat healthy eating.

Lose It! gives its legions of loyal readers everything you need to know to follow the low-carb, high-fat diet plan, and in the process lose weight, clear your head, increase your energy levels and sleep better – all while eating delicious, satisfying meals that are easy to prepare.

Lose It! The Cookbook includes tried-and-tested favourites and 20 brand new recipes, and over and above the usual contenders (meat, fish and chicken), includes chapters dedicated to vegetarian options, nut- and dairy-free alternatives, and sweet, low-carb treats. Each recipe includes a fat, carb and protein breakdown, and expert guidelines for sticking to the lifestyle are provided. Best of all, the recipes are delicious, appealing, fresh and tasty, cooked from easily sourced South African fresh produce.

With beautifully styled and photographed recipes, included is something for everyone, be it pork, beef, chicken and lamb, and a lot more. The delicious deluxe cauli pizza with crème fraîche and smoked salmon has made me salivate. The book is truly full of fabulous recipes.

RHENISH GIRLS’ HIGH SCHOOL Tennis

(t) 021 887 6808 (e) admissions@rhenish.co.za

Olympic Athlete visits Rhenish

Megan Lombardi, a Grade 11 learner at Rhenish Girls’ High, has been selected as a member of the African Junior Cup Tennis Team. Megan, a top 5 player in her age group for several years, will represent South Africa at the tournament that will take place in Tunisia. This is the highest achievement thus far in Megan’s Tennis career.

South African Olympic athlete and Rhenish Old Girl (class of 2010), Dominique Scott, visited Rhenish Girls’ High for the opening Assembly on 11 January 2017. Dom shared a message with the girls of identifying their dreams – and not being afraid of dreaming big – and then working steadfastly towards achieving that dream.

Dom’s dream of being an Olympic athlete and earning a scholarship to a US university was born at the age of 12.

Her success, she said, was not immediate or easy. To achieve one’s dreams, Dom believes, one must realise that there are no short cuts or instant success. There is only hard work.

Ms Slabber (Principal), Dom Scott, Ms Henery (Sports Coordinator).

Megan and her private coach, Sunel Malan from the University of Stellenbosch.

Nuwe Graad 8’s Ons Kuikens (Graad 8’s) het reeds ‘n besige eerste skoolweek agter die rug. Vrydagaand, 13 Januarie, het die Kuikenkonsert in die skoolsaal plaasgevind.

Krieket Die eerste krieketspan en die o/15A-span het Saterdag 14 Januarie 2017 die seisoen teen die gedugte spanne van Oakdale en HJS Paarl onderskeidelik afgeskop. Die eerste span het in ‘n aanskoulike wedstryd met 23 lopies teen Oakdale gewen. Die Strand het eerste gekolf en 184 lopies aangeteken.

Oakdale is daarna vir 161 lopies uitgeboul. Mieftaah Oliver het briljant geboul en in 10 boulbeurte slegs 3 lopies afgestaan. Vir ‘n draaibouler is dit ‘n besondere prestasie. Quinton van Geems en Xander Barnard het elk drie paaltjies ingeoes. Hulle is baie goed deur Jarred Verwey ondersteun wat 2 paaltjies platgetrek het. Interessant genoeg, was dit die draaiboulers wat baljaar het.

Die o/15-span het in die Paarl teen die gedugte span van HJS Paarl gaan speel. Die Strand het eerste gekolf en 105 lopies aangeteken. Die Paarliete moes hard spook om hierdie teiken te jaag en het 106 lopies vir die verlies van 8 paaltjies aangeteken. HJS Paarl wen dus die wedstryd naelskraap met 2 paaltjies. Guallaume Jansen het uitstekend geboul en 3 paaltjies vir 19 lopies platgetrek – ‘n uitstekende boulvertoning. Spesiale melding moet van hierdie span se puik veldwerk en veggees gemaak word.

SOMERSET COLLEGE

(t) 021 842 8000 (e) admissions@somcol.co.za

Somerset College Matriculants excel Somerset College is an independent co-educational school situated between Somerset West and Stellenbosch on a beautiful 32 hectare estate.

Somerset College is one of only a handful of independent schools in the Western Cape which writes the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) exam which they believe is one of the things that sets them apart from their competitors.

The 111 Matriculants who wrote the IEB exams achieved a 100% pass rate and 100% Bachelor Degree (University Entrance) pass. A total of 380 subject distinctions were obtained with 12 students achieving 21 subject placements in the top 1% of candidates in the country. Every subject average was well above the IEB national average. These results bear testimony to the students’ commitment to their studies, the dedication of their teachers and the support of their parents and guardians.

The top student, who was placed amongst the country’s outstanding candidates, was Jordan Haantjes. Andrew de Villiers had the second highest average and attained 7 distinctions. Michael Burke was third and Samuel Kingwill was fourth, each with 9 distinctions. Caitlin Grieve was placed on the IEB’s national list of commendable achievement. Isabella

Duisberg, Damon McLoughlin, Chloé Townsend, Saskia ten Siethoff and Matthew Whall all achieved 8 distinctions. Ingrid Badenhorst, Laurie Oliver and Richard Masson achieved 7 distinctions each.

Fourteen students achieved 6 distinctions each.

The Mathematics results are phenomenal with 67% of pupils achieving an A for Core Mathematics and exceptional results were also achieved in the Arts, the Languages and the Sciences. The class of 2016 is clearly well placed to make a meaningful mark on the world beyond school.

Meg Fargher, the Executive Head, had this message for this class; “Do not be discouraged by the turmoil in the world but as Archbishop Tutu exhorted, ‘start where you are and realise you are not meant on your own to resolve all of these massive problems.’ You have an excellent set of values and skills to ‘do all the good you can, wherever and however you can’. You are infinitely capable of changing the world. Journey boldly, journey kindly, journey far and have faith in yourselves and in God.” The class of 2016 will always be a part of the College and the College part of them. We will follow their futures with great hope and anticipation.
