SA’s Golden Boy
Chad le Clos Swimming his way to greatness

AWSUMCelebrity Interview
Chad le Clos South Africa’s most decorated Olympic medallist, Chad le Clos, recently smashed his own 100m butterfly record for the second time. This born-and-bred Durbanite also recently moved to Cape Town, where he is establishing the Chad le Clos Swimming Academy. Q The 100m butterfly saw you tie for silver with Phelps and László Cseh. You had a good laugh on the podium – what was that about? A The 100m fly silver was great – to be in a three-way tie and stand alongside Phelps and Cseh on the podium was an amazing feeling. When we stepped up to the podium, I suggested we hold hands for a picture, but there was quite delay, so we held hands for quite a while and I joked to Phelps that Nicole (Phelps’ wife) was going to start getting jealous, hence the laughing. Q How did Rio compare to London? What are you taking to Tokyo? A I went into the 2016 Rio Olympic Games with a lot more pressure on myself than the 2012 London ones when I was a reasonably unknown swimmer on the international circuit. In 2016 the expectations were higher, but the competition and the challenge of very talented swimmers was far higher and made it even more exciting. Of course, I didn’t quite get the result I was looking for, missing out on a medal in the 200m fly – but I’ve bounced back from this and already have my sights set on this event at the next Olympics in Tokyo! Q What do you do in the moments just before the gun sounds and you have to dive into the pool? Q You have said before that Cape Town was your favourite city. You now live in Cape Town. Are you living the dream? A I am so happy to live in Cape Town. It is an unbelievable change from Durban, although it was hard to leave my family behind. I love seeing the ocean and the majestic sunsets from my apartment in Sea Point. I’ve been wanting to move to Cape Town for long time, but the Olympics delayed things a bit. There are great training facilities around here. Q You are establishing an elite swimming academy at Jan van Riebeeck High School in Cape Town, in the slopes of Table Mountain. How did that come about? A I finally have the opportunity to create something that I always wanted. This will be a legacy for my family name and help youngsters come through. It would be so amazing if in 10 or 20 years’ time, someone would say ‘Chad helped me reach the Olympics’, or ‘Chad helped me reach a goal’. This is my biggest inspiration in creating this academy.
Q What has happened for you since the last Olympics, when you did not clinch gold again?
A My focus becomes razor sharp, starting in the call room. I prepare myself for war. Q What do you eat on race day? A Nothing particular – usually some pasta and protein. It depends on what I feel like, so I might eat a bit of everything. Q Tell us a bit about your family and friends. A My parents are Bert and Geraldine le Clos. We are a very tight-knit family. My brother lives with me in my apartment in Sea Point. I have a small circle of close friends. I love to play poker with my friends! My dad is actually a bigger star than I am, after the London Olympics where his response to my win went ‘viral’, in his own words! My team of close-knit family and friends are vital to my success. I truly could not have done it without them. Q Of which celebrities are you a fan? A Sporting-wise, Cristiano Ronaldo – I’m a big fan of his. Celebrity-wise, Phoebe Tonkin of The Vampire Diaries. Q What message do you have for our readers?
A Well, I was obviously disappointed to not win gold at the Rio Olympics, but champs have to respond. The next four years are more important than the past four years, and I am by no means easing off. I now have a great platform from which to bounce back and win gold in Tokyo in 2020.

I’m mental ... for a lentil !!!
@jennymorrischef
Let’s Cook!!
Smokey Lentil Cottage Pie Serves 6
INGREDIENTS • 2 large butternuts to roast • 2 large aubergines • 2 tbsp olive oil • 2 red onions, chopped • ½ cup Milk Stout • 1 tsp ground coriander • 2 tbsp tomato purée • 2 celery stalks, sliced • 1 bay leaf • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped • 2 carrots, cubed • 200g brown lentils • 350g mushrooms (of your
choice), cubed • 350ml mushroom stock (you can also use vegetable or beef) • ½ tsp ground cinnamon and some for sprinkling • 2 tbsp sesame seed oil (you can also use olive oil) • 1 tsp sea salt • 1 tsp ground black pepper. • ¼ cup honey and 100ml for butternut • butternut seeds, saved from the roasted butternut
Love them or hate them, these legumes are here to stay. They have been part of the human diet since aceramic Neolithic times, being one of the first crops domesticated in the Near East and archaeological evidence shows they were eaten 9 500 to 13 000 years ago. Lentil colours range from yellow to red-orange to green, brown and black. They also vary in size, and are sold in many forms, with or without the skins, whole or split. Now you get red and brown Beluga, said to resemble Beluga caviar. Then there is the brown/Spanish pardina and the French green Puy lentils, which I adore. These are just a few that are available. These babies have great nutritional properties like carbohydrates, sugar, dietary fibre, fat, protein, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, folate, vitamin C, iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and lots more – if that is not a good reason to eat them, then I don’t know. I am crazy about the earthy, nutty flavour of this tiny legume. Eating lentils can help to reduce blood cholesterol since they contains high levels of soluble fibre and they are low in fat, so this makes for one happy heart. There are so many ways that one can use them to cook with – they make wonderful salads and savoury dishes, they can be added to meat dishes, or just used as a vegetarian meal. I tried this Smokey Lentil Cottage Pie from J’Something and I liked it!!! METHOD • Pre-heat oven to 180 °C. • Roast the butternut until the skin is charred and the insides are soft. Allow to cool. • Char the aubergine on an open gas flame (or under the grill) to give it a distinct smoky flavour, turning regularly. • Remove aubergine from heat when done and allow to cool. Once the aubergine is cool, cut into cubes and sprinkle with salt. • Leave for 20 minutes allowing the salt to draw out the bitter liquid. In a colander, rinse off the salt and set aside. • In a large oiled pan add the bay leaf, coriander, garlic, onion, celery and carrots and fry for 5 minutes. • Add the cubed aubergine and mushrooms and slowly add the Milk Stout as you stir. • Add the tomato purée, stock, honey and lentils and season to taste.
• Simmer until lentils are cooked, but still have a bite. If you allow it to get too soft, it goes soupy. It takes about 30 minutes. • Meanwhile, remove the butternut seeds from the cooled butternut and sprinkle with cinnamon and honey and set aside. • Mash up the butternut and add sesame seed oil or olive oil. Add cinnamon and season to taste. • Spoon the lentils into a baking dish, leaving the excess liquid behind in the pot, if necessary. • Top the lentils with the mashed butternut and sprinkle with butternut seeds. • Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 30 minutes. • Finish off by grilling the top until lightly crispy and golden. © Jenny Morris All rights reserved 2017

HUDSON PARK HIGH New Head for Hudson Park High Mr Dennis Vorster has been appointed as the new Headmaster of Hudson Park High. Mr Vorster is looking forward to moving into a position where he will be able to work closely with a dedicated, dynamic staff and a vibrant student body. His value as an educator has never been restricted to the classroom, as he has a keen interest in the outdoors and the development of the youth to be aware of their moral responsibility to the environment and the community at large. It is his firm belief that in order to create a dynamic learning atmosphere, the school needs to equip the educators and other stakeholders with the necessary tools to develop and enhance the instructional environment. The school head is then in a position to create an environment in which growth can occur. He believes in the development of the whole child and encourages active participation at all levels.
