AWSUMCelebrity Interview
Minki van der Westhuizen Minki van der Westhuizen is one of South Africa’s most recognisable faces. As a top model, she has graced countless magazine covers. Recently, she has become more known as a popular television presenter. We caught up with her to chat about Boer Soek ‘n Vrou, motherhood, and life back in South Africa. Q: You are known worldwide as a top model. How did it happen that you became a television presenter, first for the magazine show Pasella and now for the popular reality series Boer Soek ‘n Vrou? A: Pasella’s producer asked me back in 2007 if I would be interested in presenting on TV. I didn’t even think twice! I’ve always wanted to work in the television industry, and when the opportunity came to be the host on the new season of Boer Soek ‘n Vrou, I was over the moon. Q: What do enjoy most about Boer Soek ‘n Vrou? Which ‘boer’ would you say is AWSUM? A: Seeing all the beautiful parts of the country – I have just realised again how stunning and diverse our country is! The ‘boere’ are all AWSUM!! Q Another Boer Soek ‘n Vrou question … the question on everyone’s lips is whether any of the ‘boere’ tried to impress you rather than the women on the farm? A Nooooo, I never got that impression! They know I am not available. They are all very proud of their farms and I have enjoyed being part of their farming for a day.

AWSUM NEWS NOVEMBER 2016
Q: What is your advice for first dates? Do first impressions count? A: First impressions are very important – maybe you never see the person again, and that will be the impression the person has of you. Just be yourself – then you can never go wrong. Q: You and your young family returned at the end of last year to South Africa after almost six years in London. What was life like there? What did you miss about South Africa? How have you adapted back in South Africa? A: We were very happy in London, and England will always be special for us. But nothing can trump our happiness to be back in South Africa! We are all thriving and I think the girls have all but forgotten the UK. We adapted very easily, as if we have never been away. I have missed my parents a lot, as well as the climate and ‘lekker’ culture. Also, our beautiful nature and mountains. Q: You have two little girls, Katerien (3) and Elise (2). How has motherhood changed your life? What is the best thing about being a mom? A: The love and attention and cute words and hugs and wet kisses and dirty little hands … I am crazy for each moment of being a mom! Motherhood has taught me to not be so focused on myself. And I have learned patience! Q: Your husband, Ernst Joubert, was well-known as rugby player. What does he do these days? A: He is Head of Operations at Stellenbosch Academy of Sport Rugby Institute and enjoying this new role in the sport.

Yeah, yeah, everyone goes on about sun protection but if you don’t do it, people, don’t go there. You won’t like what happens......

to encourage your children to live up to their potential
No one said being a parent was easy. It doesn’t come with an instruction book. One minute you are footloose and fancy free; the next moment you have the responsibility of nurturing your precious child. As one parent put it, ‘Do they ever stop needing you?’ Involved, loving, supportive parenting pays off by creating a happier, more confident child who is more likely to live up to their potential. Follow these tips on how parents can encourage their children to live up to their full potential academically, in the fields that interest and accommodate them best.
1. Recognise your child’s uniqueness
Parents tend to expect too much. Rather give your children the space to try different activities and to explore various careers in order to discover the best fit for them. Support their choice – one child may excel in mathematics, while another may prefer languages and debate.
2. Attend career fairs and pay for extra lessons
Attend career fairs to establish what career options are open to your child. This is an important step in helping your child determine the best subject choices in Grade 9, as certain careers require you to take specific subjects at school.
3. Discipline starts with young children
It is too late to introduce discipline when children are teenagers; they are already rebellious by then! Provide clear boundaries for acceptable behaviour and help them to take responsibility. If they want special presents, make them earn it – with good grades and chores around the house.
4. Save
Save what you can towards your child’s education. The earlier you start, the better. Every bit helps.
5. Pay for extra lessons
If you cannot afford to send your child to university, save to pay for extra lessons. This is money well spent, as their marks will improve, and as will their chances of securing a bursary.
6. Love and appreciate them
It all comes down to love. Encourage and appreciate them.

Health & Wellbeing Water-wise diabetics
Water is of vital importance for diabetics
More than three-quarters of deaths in Africa due to diabetes are in people under 60. In developing countries, including South Africa, less than half of people with diabetes are diagnosed.1 Whilst type 1 diabetes is related to genetics, the most prevalent form, type 2, is a direct result of an unhealthy lifestyle and poor food choices. Food plays a vital role in reducing the risks of type 2 diabetes, but equally so, what we drink can be a ticking time bomb if not managed correctly. Popular high-sugar drinks such as sodas, iced teas and fruit juices contain an unhealthy amount of sugar, and much debate rages around the ‘sugar-free’ variations thereof. Water is always the best option, as it won’t raise your blood sugar levels and helps the body eliminate excess glucose through urine. Women should drink approximately eight glasses of water a day and men up to 10. People who drink two cups or less of water a day were 30 percent more likely to have high blood sugar than those who drank more than that daily.2 The reason for this is due to a hormone called vasopressin, which helps the body regulate hydration. When a person is dehydrated, vasopressin stimulates the liver to produce more blood sugar.
Eight to 10 glasses of water a day is a tall order, especially if water doesn’t appeal to you, so how can you manage to maintain hydration whist eliminating the bland and avoiding sugars? • Infuse water with fresh fruit such as lemon, lime or orange or herbs such as mint, basil or ginger. • Carbonated water can improve the taste, as the bubbles bring to the surface the flavour and aroma of the drink. Scientists have also found an enzyme on the sour receptors of our tongues called Carbonic Anhydrase 4 (CA-IV). The bubbles stimulate the sour buds and the somatosensory system. The dual activation on the buds and the nerves creates a pleasurable sensation. • Mash berries such as blueberries, raspberries or cranberries and add carbonated water. • Refrigerate stock from boiling vegetables for a refreshing, vitamin-packed drink. • Caffeine-free teas such as Rooibos, green, chamomile or peppermint make for drinking pleasure both warm and iced.

Mia Polling’s story
Mia Polling is a Grade 4 pupil at Winston Park Primary School. She was born in England in 2005, with a medical disability called Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (multiple joint contractures). Mia is affected by these contractures in her hands and her feet. At the age of 1, she underwent hand reconstructive plastic surgery. With both hands in casts for eight weeks, she learned how to turn book pages with her feet. At the age of 2, one day she just decided she was going to start walking and never stopped, even though the doctors said she would never walk because of the severity of her foot deformity. After relocating to South Africa in 2012 with her family, Mia has flourished and has been able to have physiotherapy monthly to keep her fighting fit. She even does advanced Pilates now and is a brilliant swimmer. She recently completed the WPPS internal Ironman competition at the school. She has a fighting spirit and will give anything a go regardless of her inabilities.

Rowing Starting a new sport is an exciting moment for any learner, and being at the foundations of a new school adds even more excitement. Girls from DGHS have had that opportunity this year when rowing was offered to the school through Durban Rowing Club. Hilary Abrahams has coached the rowers from complete novice to the level where many are now able to be a competitive force. The sport has grown in popularity, with new rowers regularly inducted into the required teamwork and etiquette. The DGHS girls have spent many an afternoon and early weekend morning training in the schools newest sport.

School Squash coach wins at World Masters Squash Championships Quinton Kippen (41) took the plate event win in the 40-44 year age category at the World Masters Squash Championships held recently. Having grown up in Wentworth, Kippen relocated to Phoenix after getting married 10 years ago. He has been playing squash for more than 20 years and during that time had not participated in any international event before taking the plunge this year and applying to participate in a tournament of this prestige. “I am humbled to have been able to participate in this international event. Although I have been playing squash for many years, I did not play competitively and this was the first respective win I have had, other than in league matches. Being able to make it to a ‘final’, firstly the quarterfinal and then going through the semis and then on to win the final, I had mixed emotions, but overall I am proud of my win,” he says. Having lost the first game against South Africa’s Ashwell Jenneker, Kippen pushed harder in the next few matches played, taking the win for all, which allowed him to claim a spot in the quarterfinals played against Mark Southwood (South Africa), which he also won. The semi-finals saw Kippen competing against his first international opponent of the tournament, Australia’s David Zeman. The results were 11-7; 11-7; 11-5 with the clear win going to Kippen. The finals then saw him up against Celumusa Malinga from South Africa. The final results were as follows: 11-6; 11-5; 11-7 in a match that lasted 31 minutes before Kippen was announced the winner. As the Durban High School Squash coach, Kippen has already made an impact on the performance of this sport at the school, with more interest being shown by a number of learners. For him, through winning an event like this at a more mature age, he hopes to encourage his learners as well as others, to never give up and keep pushing through, and, most of all, believe in the ability they possess. “I would like to use the results of this experience to show the learners that by pursuing your passion, much can be achieved; it may not be now or at a time when you have planned but eventually it will,” he adds. With a passion and dedication for this sport, Kippen has begun preparations for the next World Masters event to be held in the USA in 2018. However, finance permitting, he would also like to participate at the World Games taking place in Australia next year. Quinton Kippen and his semi-final opponent, David Zeman of Australia.

Keep a girl in school Paging through a local newspaper, Northland’s Girls High School learner Asma Khatib, head of the Muslim Student Association (MSA), was drawn to an article based on Michelle Currie’s sanitary pad collection campaign that helps young girls in the Eshowe region. Feeling passionate about this cause, members of the MSA decided to host a samoosa sale in school and raised enough funds to purchase 1 800 sanitary pads for donation.
Grade 9 learners Kiara Muldoon and Alexandra Loder decided to join The Durban North Fencing Club earlier this year after watching family friends play the sport. A few months later, they decided to enter the KZN Championships competition held in Kloof. Alexandra and Kiara competed against ladies aged from 13 to 50 years old and performed very well, with Alexandra securing the third position in the Seniors category. This sport includes everything from mental and physical agility to strategic thinking, all in a matter of a few minutes. What’s the most challenging item about fencing? “Try holding a squat for a minimum of three minutes with a mask and dodging a swipe” they laughed! Both learners aimto participate in next year’s SA Championships and are also eager to teach the sport to their fellow learners. Well done, ladies, you are both very inspiring!

Synchronized swimming sensation Sonal Reddi Grade 10 learner Sonal Reddi was invited to participate in the 25th Heliopolis Synchronized Swimming Championships which took place in Egypt from 11 to 15 October. With only a month to prepare for this competition, Sonal, her teammates, coach Kelly Sloley and manager Moira Norden, were eager to represent our country. Sonal took part in two categories, figures and solo, and scored well against the other participating countries. When asked what was most fascinating about her trip, “Traffic!” she laughs.” It was so chaotic yet it worked”. This passionate and very busy learner is inspired by her coach, who always makes time out of her busy schedule to mentor her. Sonal also acknowledges support from her mum and close friend, Kiara Ashikumar, who updates her “catch-up” book whilst she is away competing. It does not seem like Sonal is going to slow down anytime soonNGHS is very proud of you! Sonal Reddi in her custom-made costume getting ready to participate in Egypt.
