K arlien van Jaarsveld Double SAMA-winner, television star and actress Karlien van Jaarsveld had a meteoric rise in the Afrikaans entertainment industry. AWSUM News chatted to her about her career, her children, and her dreams for the future.

V You released the album ‘Sing vir Liefde’ earlier this year and signalled a new direction with this album. What is different about your music on this album?

A I wrote the majority of songs on this album mysefl. I could write what I had on the heart. Every album is about your life and in which place in your life you are at that stage.

V You are the sister of the equally well-known and popular Bobby van Jaarsveld and performed with him on stage as guitar player and on background vocals. You also did a duet with him on his first album. What made you decide to go solo?

Do you still perform together these days?

A It is a road that God chose, and not me. We do not often perform together, but when we do, we enjoy it.

V Tell us about your childhood and where you grew up and went to school.

A I remember that as children my brother and I always made the family sit down to watch us perform shows. It must be there where the music bug bit me. We moved around quite a bit, so I was in a number of schools, with most of my growingup years spent in Brits and Witbank.

V Your rise in the music industry was fast and successful. In 2011 you won the Best Newcomer award in the Tempo Awards.

You were also awarded two SAMAs for Best Pop Album (Afrikaans) in 2014 (‘Uitklophou’) and 2016 (‘My Hartjie’). Tell us a bit more about these two albums and their success stories.

A In my wildest dreams I would never have expected this. I always had a really good support team. What also helped a lot, is that people believed in me.

V Your interests and talents are wide and varied. You have acted in films, performed on stage, and even won ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ Season 8. Which of these non-music things do you enjoy the most?

A I like being in film. You can sometimes play a character that is completely the opposite of yourself. I like a challenge. But one of the roles I enjoy the most these days, is to be a wife to my husband and a mother to my children.

AWSUM Celebrity Interview

V You are the mom of two twin boys, Daniël and Eliah, with another little one on the way. How did motherhood change your life? What is the best thing about being a mom? How do you balance your career, marriage and motherhood?

A It is one of the most amazing gifts that we as people can receive. Just to be with them every day and to see how they develop, is wonderful (but it happens too fast!). I am at home during the week and can spend time with them after school and during the evenings. They also regularly go on tour with me.

Sometimes it feels as if I learn more from them than they from me.

V What is your advice for a first date?

A Just be yourself.

V What advice about love and life do you have for our high school learners?

A Remember to just be yourself – it can sometimes feel awkward to be yourself and it could take years before you realise that to be yourself would always have been the best thing.

V Favourite pastime (when you get time)?

A To spend time with my children and my husband.

V What was the highlight of your career so far? Why? A The opportunity to do ‘In jou skoene’, because it dealt with the things that really matter in life.

V What is your biggest dream at the moment? What would you still like to achieve professionally?

A I would like to start my own clothing range.

V What role does social media play in your life? What is its value to you?

A I am not crazy about social media. I think social media has caused more bad than good. If I did not have to market my career, I would not have been on social media.

V What is your life philosophy?

A If you worry you die, if you don’t worry you still die ... so why worry?

Neutrogena Correct & Perfect Complexion Scrub, R98.95 is a daily creamy scrub to keep skin clear and prevent breakouts; Garnier Skin Active Intensive 3 in 1 Charcoal Anti-Blackhead, R116.95 is a daily anti-bacterial wash and scrub plus a weekly mask and is perfect for oily spot-prone skin; Johnson & Johnson Clean & Clear Advantage Clear & Soothe Daily Scrub, R49.95, is tough on spots but gentle on sensitive skin and helps to unclog problem pores.

Don’t panic….

When you’ve scrubbed up nicely, and then to spite you, up pops a zit bang in the middle of your chin, blinking like a laser beam just reach for your African Extracts Rooibos Spot Treatment, R59.99. It’s loaded with soothing plant extracts and antiseptic Tea Tree Oil to help clean out pores and reduce redness. It’s small enough to stash in your purse for on-the-go fixes during exam stress acne flare-ups.

Rita Ora wears her funky floral onesie out and about dressing it up with chic sunnies and trendy sneakers.

Who else but Miley Cyrus does it all in one go, getting off a flight in her chill-out onesie and fuzzy unicorn slippers?

Your teens are a turning point in your life, full of promise, fun and future plans but it’s also a rough time for your skin as it can be prone to oiliness and acne due to hormonal changes, school stress and all the rest that comes with being a teenager.

Proper cleansing is top of the list as it removes dirt, oil and dulling dead cells that plug up your pores but take care not to over-wash or use harsh soaps as it will increase the breakouts and stimulate greasiness. A gentle but hard-working wash/scrub is what you need to help keep your skin fresh and clear and those pesky pimples under control.

Look for products that contain salicylic acid, healing herbs and charcoal to mop up all that excess oil and unclog blocked pores which lead to these blockbuster blackheads. Keep it simple--- use a scrub or wash daily, in the morning and before bed and a clearing mask once a week. No hard rubbing on your skin --- always treat it with care as it’s the only one you’ve got and it has to last a lifetime. Try these problem-skin goodies:

The onesie is like a big Babygro — it’s a baggy romper suit that was originally designed as a thermal sleepsuit but has morphed into something so cosy, comfy and cute, it goes way beyond bed time. ……. giant foot-warmers for lolling in front of the TV or X Box.

Ditching maths myths: The path to mastery starts in early childhood Maths is one of the subjects that South Africans regularly perform dismally in, but is there a way to get children excited about maths from a young age, so that they banish negative attitudes towards the subject from the start?

Yes, says an education expert – and it’s vital for parents to take an active part in helping their children achieve later maths mastery through play-based activities in the early years. This article provides essential advice for parents and caregivers hoping to lay the early foundation that will help maths become child’s play later in life.

The best start parents can give children to ensure they master maths throughout their school careers, is to ensure they banish negative attitudes towards the subject right from the start.

Parents and caregivers must ensure they don’t pass on their own negative feelings about maths, or any other subject, because they themselves struggled in the past. Children should be allowed to embark on their maths learning in the secure understanding that they are competent and capable, without any kind of pre-emptive fear for the subject.

South Africans regularly hear about our country’s dismal performance in international maths and science benchmarking tests.

People who work at the pre-primary level are well aware that the results of the children at prep and college levels will not improve if the focus is not on the correct teaching of maths concepts within the three-to-six-year age group.

However, early learning should be age-appropriate and concentrate on ‘hands-on, brains-on’ activities. Early mathematical experiences have to be presented in kinaesthetic and concrete ways, leading to semi-abstract activities in Grade 0. Worksheets are not favoured for children at this young age.

While many young children enter pre-primary school with knowledge of counting, numbers and shapes, it is also important to expose them to more challenging content. Young children are ready to learn more advanced concepts as long as they are presented in an engaging and developmentally appropriate manner. This does not equate with ‘pushing down’ the curriculum content to younger and younger children, as that could have the opposite of the intended effect.

Parents should take a keen and active part in getting their children excited about maths. The foundations of later maths mastery can be achieved through play-based activities in the early years.

Activities that promote the acquisition of maths concepts include: • Singing number songs and rhymes.

• Counting out everyday items such as plates and cutlery for supper, potatoes for cooking, biscuits for tea.

• Matching how many times you clap with items such as bottle tops.

• Baking, which involves counting and measuring of ingredients.

• Drawing attention to numerals on gates, cars, buses – anywhere in the immediate environment.

• Sharing out sweets amongst the family or the teddies at the play tea party, which teaches division.

• Dividing fruit, veg and cakes into pieces and talk about halves and quarters, which teaches the concept of fractions.

• Working out how many sweets we need if everyone is to get two, which teaches multiplication.

• Matching, identifying and counting coins, and giving coins to spend on small items in the shop.

• Comparing the sizes of clothes and shoes that the family members wear and arranging them in ascending and descending order.

Research tracking American, British and Canadian children found that children who entered pre-school with a strong grasp of numeracy, counting, relative magnitudes and ordinality achieved better maths scores in later years, and that these skills were more predictive of general scholastic achievement than were language, attention or social skills.

But parents should not, in an attempt to ensure their child’s future maths mastery, try to get them to learn something now, with difficulty, which they will manage more easily later. Helping your child at this stage does not entail the teaching of isolated maths skills through memorisation, rote or the reliance on worksheets.

Parents and guardians who want to make a substantial contribution to their children’s performance later in life can ensure they lay a solid and positive foundation in the early years, simply by making maths meaningful and relevant to everyday situations. Quite simply, maths should become child’s play.

Health & Wellbeing Keep your kids active (and healthy) this winter The days are short and cold – winter is fully upon us. While it might be tempting to snuggle up on the couch with your little ones, cup of hot chocolate and rusks on hand, it’s important to factor in some active time.

Exercise helps kids feel less stressed, have higher self-esteem, focus at school, sleep better and maintain a healthy weight. You’ve probably noticed too that parenting children who get enough exercise is easier than parenting those who don’t – incentive enough?

But when it’s cold and dark outside, how do you get your kids to exercise? It’s simple – make exercise fun. If your kids see you making an effort, they’re likely to buy into the idea too. Physical activity should be seen as an essential part of your child’s daily routines.

Fun, exercise, winter – in the same sentence?

Walk the dog, take breaks every hour and do jumping jacks. If you have a set of stairs, see who can walk upstairs backwards the fastest. Park in the furthest parking lot at the mall, so that you have to walk the distance to the entrance.

Find a way to incorporate exercise into your normal daily activity, make it become a part of your routine. Moderate activity increases brain activity and generates endorphins to help your kids stay motivated and positive at school.

Research supports these sentiments. Get up, get moving, get active – remember, habits that are adopted during your childhood and teenage years are likely to roll over into adulthood. Everyone wins.

Article by Lynne Arbuckle, principal of Riverside College.

Health & Wellbeing Nearly 40% of South Africans are planning to ‘pull a sickie’ this winter A just-released survey by one of SA’s leading colds and flu medicine providers revealed that National Sickie Day isn’t just a British phenomenon. Almost 40% of South Africans polled said they’re planning on ‘pulling a sickie’ in June or July.

More than 1 500 working South Africans across the country were surveyed about how they’re gearing up for the colds and flu season, which also let slip the time of year they are most likely to ring in sick, when in truth they really just can’t face a day in the office.

A combination of miserable weather and the spate of colds and flu to be expected in winter most likely makes July the most popular month of the year to take a duvet day.

Nearly a third of those polled admitted that they’ve pulled a sickie before – 45% of whom said they do so two to three times a year, while a few chancers (15% in fact) do so even more often. The 40% whose conscience probably gets the better of them, can only bring themselves to do so once annually.

What makes matters even worse is that they don’t do so on their own …

More than a whopping 51% rope in their partners and/or children to take a duvet day with them – 20% either didn’t have a partner or a child, which implied that if they did, they’d probably get them to bunk with them too. The remaining 29% preferred to do so solo.

The top excuses for calling in sick range from: • Coming down with a cold or flu, stomach bug or migraine (78%) • Personal reasons (27%) • Home emergencies, such as a burst geyser or alarm problems (19%) • Stress and/or burn-out was tied with having to look after a sick relative or partner (15%) • Transport difficulties – bus, train, taxi running late or car trouble (8%) • Overslept (7%) • Making an appointment weeks ago that you forgot to inform the office about and can’t cancel at the last minute (5%) • Hangover (4%) • Broken out in a rash (1%) Most of these excuses sound pretty genuine and sometimes they are, but what’s an employer to do if they spot a trend? Employers are perfectly within their right to challenge the authenticity of an excuse by requesting a doctor’s note or ask for evidence if they start to notice a pattern of absenteeism, which should keep the habit in check.

Gone are the days when sick employees had to phone the boss or office manager directly to offer an explanation. These days the most popular way to call in sick by far is SMSing or sending a WhatsApp (62%). Less than a third (30%) still does so telephonically (probably as a result of strict company policy) and 7% informs work of their absenteeism via email.

“I’m on sick leave”

How to keep healthy Other findings showed that more than 46% of South Africans are taking precautions in the form of a daily immune-booster or vitamin-enriched tablet to keep colds and flu at bay this season.

It is recommended to take a supplement that contains vitamin C, Echinacea and zinc, which in combination has been proven to strengthen the immune system.

Vitamin C concentrations in the body tend to decline as a result of stress and/or infection and since it isn’t produced by the body, it needs constant replenishing via food sources. However, in our rushed day and age, it may not be practical for most people to consume the required servings of fruit and vegetables needed on a consistent basis, whereas taking a once-daily supplement is safe, effective and easy to do. Both zinc and Echinacea increase the number of white blood cells, which fight infections and reduce the chances of catching a cold. Therefore, all three nutrients play a vital role in combatting colds and flu.

As for this year’s colds and flu season, South Africa should brace itself for possibly more severe outbreaks should warmer than usual temperatures persist this winter.

It was once thought that global warming could bring on fewer deaths caused by respiratory infections during the colder months of the year, but research by Arizona State University found a significant association between warm winters and severe colds and flu cases.

A typical cold or flu can last up to a week, but if you’ve contracted a more severe strain you could be down for two weeks or longer, even in individuals considered to be otherwise healthy. The best way to thwart colds and flu symptoms is to get enough sleep, eating a balanced and healthy diet consisting of fresh fruit, vegetables and protein, drinking enough water, and boosting your immunity with a supplement recommended by either your GP or pharmacist.

Parents took the morning off to support their young athletes and enthusiastically followed their progress around the 1,2 km course, even to the point of running alongside in some cases. A hot or cold drink was on offer for those parents who made it back in one piece. It was a fun-filled day enjoyed by teachers, parents and children alike.

WINSTON PARK PRIMARY SCHOOL (t) 031 767 3214 (e) ginal@wppschool.co.za Tyler Sinclair raises R10k for CHOC Tyler Sinclair in Grade 1’s dad has Multiple Sclerosis and underwent a stem cell transplant.

He was in isolation for 28 days undergoing aggressive high-dose chemotherapy - this kills off the entire immune system and the stem cell transplant helps to rebuild a new one that hopefully works with the body instead of against it (the same treatment children suffering from leukemia and non-Hodgkin Lymphoma go

through).

When Tyler saw how sick his dad got from the treatment and he learned that young children, sometimes much younger than himself, also endure this and sometimes alone, he wanted to make a difference.

He learned of CHOC (Childhood Cancer Foundation SA) and the CHOC houses and how they support these children and their families

through these very difficult times, and he knew this was where he wanted to help He got it off the ground by first doing chores, reaching out to friends and family, and going out of his comfort zone to get people to sponsor him doing an event (2 x gajiga obstacle races).

Tyler went on to raise just over R10 000 for CHOC.

The Springbok award, which was presented by the Trafalgar Sea Scouts in Virginia, is the highest award achievable by a Scout in South Africa.

Sarah-May joined the younger members of the Scout movement after she moved to Durban with her family in her Grade 3 year. The Springbok award is the result of many years’ hard work.

“At times I felt like giving up, but I’m grateful to all those who helped and encouraged me to keep going. I in turn will help inspire others to reach their goals,” she says.

In order to acquire this award, Sarah-May had to complete at least 40 hours of community service, lead a hike of over 30 km in unfamiliar territory, make a three-course meal on the fire, and plan and construct a pioneering project, which

According to Mr Andrew Graaf, Principal of NGHS, Sarah has “a very keen and unwavering moral compass that informs her every action.”

Her mother, Patricia, agrees: “At times there were amazing highs and others where she just had to keep on going or start again, but she did everything with excellence and it is an honour to have her as a daughter.”

DHS rugby stars to represent South Africa

A number of Durban High School learners recently spent a few days of their holidays ‘paying it forward’ to Gozololo Children’s Centre in KwaMashu as part of the East Coast Radio Big Favour.

DHS partnered with a generous sponsor being part of the ‘solution’ to the Centre, which had its kitchen and another room gutted by a fire recently.

According to Winston Owen, the Chairman of the Governing Body at DHS, “Our sponsor jumped on board to assist Gozololo, so that it may continue to be a place of support and development for the children in the area, by re-wiring the electrical system, painting walls and re-establishing their veggie garden. We are ecstatic to have had some of the Durban High School boys volunteer to be hands-on in this project, especially in the last week of their holidays. A number of them had already put in over 20 hours of community service with Urban Ignition in the first week of the holidays.”

On day one, the boys got stuck into the veggie garden, before preparing the fire-gutted room for painting. “With this being Mandela Month, I felt a need to give some of my time giving back to those less fortunate than myself,” says Zach Adam, one of the Grade 12 learners.

In order to make the renovation a further success, various other sponsors contributed, from maintenance staff to donating appliances, from unblocking drains to paying for the paint. A well-known pizza outfit offered to donate flatbreads to the Centre in order for learning to take place with well-filled tummies.

Durban High School have committed to provide teams to the Children’s Centre on an ongoing basis to ensure that the support is sustainable.

On Thursday, 27 July the South African Rugby Union named the SA Schools squad for the U19 International Series against Wales, France and Italy next month.

The teams are selected out of the pool of players who performed at the U18 Craven Week, which ended on 22 July, by a team of National and SA Schools selectors.

Out of the 28-man squad, three Durban High School learners have been chosen to represent their country: Phendulani Buthelezi, Sanele Nohamba and Celimpilo Gumede will don the green-and-gold as part of the SA Schools squad that will play at the tournament to be held in Cape Town with the fixtures as follows: Wales (Friday, 11 August) at City Park Stadium in Crawford, France (Tuesday, 15 August) at Paarl Gymnasium and England (Saturday, 19 August).

Sanele Nohamba (18) in Grade 12, is from the Eastern Cape, currently living in the DHS boarding establishment Blackmore House. This is his second year of selection for SA Schools rugby. He has been selected to play scrumhalf.

Phendulani Buthelezi (18) in Grade 12, the current Head Boy of DHS and Blackmore House and Captain of Rugby, hails from Hluhluwe. He was elected as Captain of the KZN Craven Week team this year. This is Phendulani’s first year of being selected as part of the SA Schools rugby team. He currently plays 8th man and has been selected to play in the No. 8 position.

Celimpilo Gumede (17) is a Grade 11 learner and plays for the DHS 1st XV rugby. Gumede hails from Mtubatuba and resides in Blackmore House. Last year, Celimpilo attended the SARU U16 Assessment Camp in Paarl. This is his first time being selected as part of the SA Schools U19 rugby team. He has been selected to play lock.

Scott Mathie (Head of Rugby) says: “I am extremely proud of these young men. They have shown such dedication in their pursuit of excellence and they have done so with a genuine love for the game. It has been a pleasure working with these boys over the past three years, as they have always consistently given their best in every session. They really have been role models to all the young boys – not just in the way they play, but more importantly in their behaviour off the field. Their humility is an example to all and it will continue to keep them attaining the standards of excellence they have set. I wish them every bit of success with the SA Schools team, I know they will be great ambassadors for their country!”

Mr A D Pinheiro (DHS Head Master) also expressed his pride on the selection, commenting: “Craven Week is the premier school boy rugby tournament in the world. All the best school boy rugby players from around the country participate in it. To be selected for the SA Schools Rugby XV from this talented pool attests to the ability of these two fine young men. DHS is proud of both their playing prowess as well as their conduct. They are firstrate young men who act as role models to our other boys. Their success is deserved.”

DHS learners prepare the walls for painting: Taine Owen, Lulama Khoza and Aaron Pillay.

DHS win cup final at U18 sevens festival Durban High School participated in the Crawford Sevens U18 Festival at the weekend at Crawford La Lucia.
