AWSUMCelebrity Interview

“Tonight I stepped on this stage as Demi-Leigh NelPeters; 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 DemiLeigh 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 JoAnne 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’.

All things Gingery

by Jenny Morris @jennymorrischef

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 • 1 ¾ 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.

HOËR MEISIESKOOL BLOEMHOF

Bloemhof-hokkie deur na Spar Challenge-finale Bridge House College het op 7 Mei die jaarlikse Spar Challenge-hokkietoernooi se sentrale streeksuitdunne aangebied, waar die HMS Bloemhof puik presteer het.

In die eerste wedstryd loop Bloemhof se Investec Eerste Hokkiespan die gasheerskool trompop en klop Bridge House 7-0. Hierna volg ’n oorwinning van 5-0 oor Hoërskool Strand.

Die groot kompetisie vir die dag was egter Rhenish

Girls’ High School, aangesien dié buurskool reeds daarin kon slaag om die Bloemhoffers by die National All Girls’ Festival met twee doele te wen. Om deur te dring na die Spar Challenge se finale moes Bloemhof óf wen óf ten minste gelykop speel.

In die eerste 15 minute van dié titaniese stryd het Bloemhof oorheersend balbesit, maar Rhenish veg verbete terug, veral in die tweede helfte. Te danke

aan Mishka Ellis se voortreflike doelverdediging slaag die teenstanders nie daarin om ’n doel – wat hulle desperaat wou hê – aan te teken nie en die eindtelling van 0 elk lei tot ’n oorwinning vir Bloemhof in die uitdunne.

Die Bloemhoffers sal nou die wenners van die ander streke se uitdunne in die finale op 6 Augustus by Hoërskool Hermanus ontmoet.

Bloemhof-opvoeder wen geskiedkundige beurs Me. Anneke van Heerden, geskiedenisopvoeder by die Hoër Meisieskool Bloemhof, is onlangs deur die SuidAfrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns vir haar bydrae tot die geskiedskrywing gehuldig.

Tydens haar meestergraadstudie aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch het sy die betrokkenheid van die Suiderkruisfonds in die Grensoorlog van 1968-89 bestudeer. Haar tesis het haar die Protea Boekhuisprys vir die beste nagraadse geskiedenisverhandeling in Afrikaans laat inpalm en daarmee saam ook die Generaal Christiaan de Wet-beurs.

“Die beurs dek my studiekoste om vir my doktorsgraad in te skryf,” sê me. Van Heerden.

“Dit is iets wat ek graag wil doen en heel moontlik nou deeltyds sal aanpak. Omdat ek in my M-studie op ’n enkele organisasie binne die Grensoorlog gefokus het, sal ek tien-teen-een op ’n veel ruimer skaal nou met hierdie geskiedenis omgaan.”

Me. Van Heerden het in Februarie 2017 by Bloemhof aangesluit.

PAUL ROOS GIMNASIUM

(t) 021 887 0017 (e) info@prg.wcape.school.za

Nuwe Afrika 0/14-tenniskampioen Gedurende die afgelope skoolvakansie het verskeie Paul Roosers deelgeneem aan verskillende tennisgeleenthede oral in Suid Afrika.

Die grootste prestasie is gelewer deur Carl Roothman (Graad 8) wat tydens die ITF/CAT Afrika Junior Kampioenskappe by die Benoni Tennis Complex die 0/14- enkelspeltitel gewen het. Carl (5de gekeur) het die 3de-gekeurde Marokkaan, Mhedi Benchekroun, 4-6 6-2 6-1 geklop. Carl het ook uitgeblink in die dubbels en het in die finaal verloor.

Verskeie ander top vertonings is gelewer deur Paul Roosers. Tydens die Interprovinsiale tennistoernooi is Ruben Fortuin gekies vir die SA Hoërskolespan wat gaan deelneem in Engeland gedurende die Junievakansie.

Gerrie Berner-tennistoernooi Die 12de Bestmed Gerrie Berner-tennistoernooi het tennis uit die boonste rakke opgelewer deur die 12 deelnemende skole van regoor Suid-Afrika. Paul Roos het as 3de gekeurde span by die toernooi uitstekende tennis opgelewer, maar is in die finaal deur die baie sterk span van St Stithians met 5-3 verslaan. Dit was St Stithians se 4de agtereenvolgende titeloorwinning. Paul Roos het daarin geslaag om in die semi-finaal vir Grey College (2de gekeur en wat ook in 2016 in die finaal was) na 'n baie taai stryd met 5-2 te klop.

VOOR: Jean Durand, Christian van der Wath, JP van den Berg, Ruben Fortuin, Wikus Robbertse, Carl Roothman, Rossouw Norval. AGTER: Swannie Swanepoel (afrigter).

HOËRSKOOL STELLENBOSCH Netbal Ons het op Saterdag, 6 Mei teen Montagu HS gespeel en ‘n harde wedstryd met 3127 gewen. Menél van der Merwe het met haar puik doelwerk die span gehelp tot ‘n oorwinning en is ook aangewys as die Speler van die Wedstryd.

Drie spelers is ook deur na die Wes-Kaap Proewe: Anja Liebenberg, Menél van der Merwe en Nikita Cronjé.

PRG skuts wen goud Joubert Grobbelaar en Neil Meyeridricks het uitgeblink tydens die SA Nasionale Kleiteikenkampioenskappe wat tussen 27 April en 30 April 2017 by Valley Gun Club buite Durbanville, gehou is.

Neil (Graad 8) het in sy eerste nasionale kampioenskap deelgeneem het en veel ouer en gesoute deelnemers van regoor Suid-Afrika, Zimbabwe en Namibië behoorlik op hulle neuse laat kyk deur goud in ATA Trap vir juniors (skuts onder 18 jaar) te wen. Wat Neil se prestasie uitsonderlik maak, is dat sy ATA Trap-tellings van 93/100 en 91/100 nie net die beste onder die junior deelnemers was nie, maar ook goed genoeg vir ‘n algehele 10de posisie onder al 62 senior en junior deelnemers in ATA Trap was.

Joubert (Graad 10) het in sy derde nasionale kampioenskap deelgeneem en goud in Universal Trench en goud in DTL (beide vir skuts onder 21 jaar) gewen. Joubert was ook deel van ‘n junior CTSASA-span wat in Universal Trench teen ‘n besoekende juniorspan van Zimbabwe kragte gemeet het.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse juniors was te goed vir die Zimbabwiërs en het die goue medalje en Junior Challengebeker maklik gewen, met Joubert wat die hoogste telling (91/100) onder al die deelnemende juniors in die uitdagende Trench-dissipline, geskiet het.

By die afloop van die kampioenskappe, het beide Neil en Joubert vir die SA Macintosh-span as deel van die top 4 juniors in die DTL-dissipline gekwalifiseer. Behoudens voormelde goue medaljes, het Neil ‘n silwer medalje in die DTL Junior Challenge en in die Macintosh DTL-kampioenskap verower, terwyl Joubert ‘n goue medalje in beide die ATA Trap en DTL Junior Challenge en ‘n individuele silwer medalje in ATA Trap vir juniors gewen het.

Paul Roos golf champions De Villiers Graaff won the SA High Schools Championship last year, which resulted in them being exempted this year and received an automatic entry into this year’s National Tournament.

Boland is entitled to two entries in the SA High Schools Championship.

Therefore, Paul Roos and Boys High also qualified to participate in the 2017 SA National Schools Championship taking place from 3 to 4 August 2017 at Rustenburg.

We would like to congratulate these three teams on an outstanding achievement and wish them well in their preparation towards the Championship.

Overall winners on the day – Paul Roos. Adriaan de Waal, Niehaus Loots, Jurgen Saunders & Jaco de Kock.
