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.

Beans, Beans More Beans!!
Two of my favourite comfort ingredients have to be beans and chorizo – green beans, red beans, butter beans, white beans, sugar beans, snake beans, soya beans, fava beans – any beans, just as long as they are beans. Beans are incredibly healthy and should be included in your diet, they make delicious patés, stews, soups and patties. Add chorizo and you have a match made in heaven. Beans are legumes. There are three stages of development in a bean’s life and the maturity of the bean is what determines how the bean is used.
The first stage is when the bean is young and immature and the whole bean is very young and tender and the whole bean can be eaten either raw or cooked – I love them both ways, especially when they are straight out of my garden. The next stage of the bean’s life is when it is a teenager – it is a little more mature and the pod is tough, but the bean inside can be removed from the pod, and just like peas, they can be cooked for a short period of time and eaten. The third and last stage is when the pod and beans have dried completely. The beans can

be removed and stored for long periods of time and cooked when needed. I love dried beans and they are real comfort food for me whichever way I cook them. You can soak and cook them from scratch or you can use them from a can where all the hard work has already been done for you (no shame in that) and all the nutrition is still there. I know someone who like me enjoys beans and Chorizo: J’Something, who can cook like a dream, adds a splash of something fabulous to his recipe for Three-Bean Chorizo Stew. Let’s cook this together.

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

Winter’s first cold snap a reminder to do some home maintenance Chilly winter weather is well on its way, and it could be worth giving your home a little extra TLC now to help you save on any expensive repairs that might arise from harsh weather conditions. Home maintenance is a bit like getting your car serviced: it’s sometimes difficult to afford, but if you attend regularly to the little things, you can avoid big costs in future. Use these handy winter maintenance tips to keep your home in top shape and save you money in the long run.
The first cold snap of winter is a timely reminder that a little preventative winter maintenance could save you some money on expensive repairs. Your preparations may differ, depending on where you live in the country. Capetonians will need to prepare more for wind and rain, while elsewhere very cold conditions can quickly run up the electricity bill. While opinions vary about what comprises a good winter prep list, most experts agree that no matter whether you live in a summer or winter rainfall area, cold is the common seasonal denominator. Check for drafts under doors, around window frames and other openings. While these may circulate cool air around the house in summer, they’ll let cold in and heat out during winter. Fit strips under poorly sealed doors or make an under-doordraft stopper – one of those long material tubes filled with sand or something similar that you can use to keep out the cold. According to some sustainability websites, sealing external doors can reduce warm air leakage by 12%. Similarly check window seals and ensure panes are properly fitted. Replace the seals or putty if they aren’t. Fitting a geyser blanket will also help reduce your electricity costs, as will insulating your roof. If you’re reasonably competent at DIY you may want to research or tackle these tasks yourself. If not, it’ll probably pay to get some competitive quotes and get some expert help. Fireplaces are great for adding some ambiance and warmth to a cold room in winter, but before you light the first winter fire, check the chimney to make sure you don’t burn the house down. Soot and other residue from fires can build up and block the chimney or catch alight. Birds can build nests in chimneys that haven’t been used for a while, so check for obstructions and other issues. If you are unsure about whether your chimney is sooted up or how to remove blockages, finding a chimney

sweep should be as easy as a Google search. Obvious outside maintenance – particularly if you live in a winter-rainfall area – is cleaning your gutters. Not only are clogged gutters ineffective, but the weight of soggy leaves could break the gutter completely, resulting in a costly repair bill. Remember gutters are there for a reason: they prevent expensive foundation damage by keeping water away from your house. While you have the ladder out, check the roof to see if any tiles are broken or missing or if there’s any other damage. Perhaps less obvious but as important is making sure that strong winds don’t blow trees or other structures onto the house or damage things such as satellite dishes. Cut down rotten or dead trees and cut or prune branches near television aerials or dishes. Be sensible about your abilities as a DIY lumberjack. If it’s a large tree or branch, get some expert help. You don’t want to be the person who fells the tree onto their own house or gets hurt or badly injured because you tried to save a few rand by doing it yourself. Smaller, practical steps you can take are covering garden or stoep furniture that you won’t be using during winter, to avoid having to refurbish or replace it the next summer. Not only can regular, common-sense maintenance save you money in the long run, but this and small improvements to your home can maintain or add to its value.
HOUSE RULES
A GUIDE TO MAINTAINING YOUR HOME METAL WINDOWS AND SLIDING DOORS
CHECKS REQUIRED As required
LOOK OUT FOR Check for doors and windows that stick and don’t run smoothly or open easily.
EXTERIOR PAINTWORK
TIME OF YEAR Any time of year
FIXES Aluminium windows and doors are relatively lowmaintenance. Keep the tracks clean by regularly wiping up or sweeping away any visible dirt, dust and sand.
NB Dempending on how close you are to the sea, homeowners should wash their windows and door frames every few months with soap and water to prevent a buildup of corrosive sea salt.
CHECKS REQUIRED Yearly
TIME OF YEAR Before the rainy season
CHIMNEY
CHECKS REQUIRED Once or twice yearly
CALL AN EXPERT The task requires a dry sweep with specialised brushes, as soot is poisonous and flammable.
ROOF
TIME OF YEAR Before winter
BE AWARE Chimney cleaning is probably more important than you realise, because a build-up of soot can cause a chimney fire.
NB A chimney service will also include a check of the waterproofing where the flue exits the roof, and the cowl, which can cause a back draft if it’s not working correctly.
TIME OF YEAR Before the rainy season
CHECKS REQUIRED Year
CALL AN EXPERT Unless you are exceptionally handy, roof repairs will probably require a roof specialist.
LOOK OUT FOR Inspect for cracked tiles and damaged metal and vinyl flashing around skylights and chimneys. Dark patches and peeling paint can indicate a water issue, which is important to solve if you want to avoid damp and mould.
WATERPROOFING
TIME OF YEAR
Yearly
Before the rainy season
Expansion and contraction causes the joints and seals of waterproofed areas to crack, so look out for fine cracks.
NB Mould build-up (especially on the shaded side of a roof) is a particular problem for slate roofs, as it can grow underneath the edgings of tiles, causing them to lift and allowing rainwater to penetrate.
GUTTERS
CHECKS REQUIRED
LOOK OUT FOR
NB How often you’ll need to repaint will depend on the climate where you live and the quality of paint used initially.
FIXES Cracks will need to be chipped out, filled, sealed and repaired.
LOOK OUT FOR Inspect for hairline cracks. Water can enter the cracks and start lifting the plaster or result in damp inside the house.
FIXES
NB
Homeowners should use a bitumen-based product to seal affected areas.
Drains on flat-roof balconies need to be checked once a month for blockages to ensure there isn’t a water build-up.
CHECKS REQUIRED
TIME OF YEAR
Twice yearly
Spring and autumn
LOOK OUT FOR
FIXES
REPLACEMENT
BE AWARE
Homeowners need to resolve blockages caused by a build- up of garden debris and dirt.
Use a hose to run water into the gutter to wash debris down the downpipe.
If you buy good quality gutters you should not have to replace them for up two decades.
Gutter metal is relatively soft, so beware of knocking the underside of gutters with ladders.

University application survival kit Prepare for success while saving time & stress
With university application season now in full swing for Matrics who want to pursue further studies next year, stress levels in homes across the country are rising as a result of the demanding administrative requirements associated with the process. It can, however, be made significantly smoother and less onerous if learners take some time to put together an application survival kit before starting to complete their applications. When applying for a place at a higher education institution – whether online or in hard copy, and whether at a public university or a private institution – there are a number of things you will need and can get ready before you even look at the application forms. Learners should prepare hard copies and and electronic folder containing all the documents and information they are going to require, as well as keep a log to track applications and all the login credentials and passwords they will amass to application portals if they are applying to more than one institution. Learners need to make it easy for an institution to accept them by ensuring their applications are complete. Given limited spaces at universities and fierce competition for popular courses, it is of course imperative that learners keep their options open for next year, by applying to more than one institution and for more than one course. Putting all your eggs in one basket may mean that come 2018, you find that your marks just didn’t make the grade to ensure you get access into your first choice of course or institution, or that you just missed the cut for admission due to high demand for limited space. But while it is highly advised to have a Plan B, C and even D in place, this means that you need to keep quite a few balls in the air during the application stage. Your application survival kit will help you not to drop them. Once learners have prepared all their documents and information, they will be able to respond to application requirements in one sitting. Additionally, you need to ensure that scanned copies of documents are as small as possible to ensure they are not rejected due to an institution’s mail server settings, so do not save them as image files. Also ensure that the names of all documents tie back to you, by including your name, ID number and descriptor of the document in the file name. Most applications to reputable institutions will require the following: • A certified copy of your identity document. Ensure that in the scanned copy the document, the picture, certification stamp and writing are all very clear and easy to read. • A certified copy of your Grade 11 school results as well as your April or
Prelim Matric results. • Your NBT number or results or both. • A certified copy of the fee payer’s identity document as well as proof of banking details and residence. • A certified testimonial from a school or equivalent if you are applying for residence. • Application letters, forms and portfolios for those programmes that require them. • All your contact details – telephone numbers, residential and postal addresses, as well as a reliable mobile number and email address (consider using your parent or guardian’s details if you are not good at responding to texts and mails). • All the contact details of your next of kin, parents, guardians or sponsors – you will need telephone and residential, postal and email details. The application process can further be streamlined and made more manageable if learners also ensure that they: • Use easy-to-remember passwords and login details for online applications and keep records of all of them for each institution. • Keep a record of reference numbers sent to them. • Carefully track dates and requirements and keep to them, so that they don’t lose out on a place because they forgot, for instance, to pay the application fee. • Complete the forms in absolute and correct detail, because mistakes can lead to them losing out on a place if it looks like they were trying to mislead the institution. • Have all the information close at hand when filling in applications, so that they are not logged out while searching for something. • Use the correct codes for courses as provided, so that there is no misunderstanding of exactly what is being applied for. The higher education application process is a job in itself, and a matriculant’s first taste of the new responsibilities and challenges that will come after their school years. It is a great opportunity to start taking responsibility for and control of one’s future, and can be an empowering adventure if tackled correctly. And, of course, most importantly, learners should start the process right now and ensure they have left their options open, and definitely not leave things until later in the year or even next year, when their chances of acceptance into a programme or institution will be significantly diminished.

BRYANSTON PRIMARY SCHOOL (t) 011 7061263 (e) newsletter@bryanstonprimary.co.za Soccer and netball tournament Bryanston Primary School recently host its 48th annual soccer tour-nament and 20th annual netball tournament on 20 May. Schools that participated included Bryandale, Bryneven, Mont-rose, and Wendywood, as well as players from the host school. Teams from U1 to Open Age groups participated enthusiastically, and great fun was had by all! The Christopher Joubert Award Spirit of Sport Award, for best sportsmanship overall, was awarded to Montrose Primary School. The Bryanston Primary Six-A-Side Soccer Tournament began in 1969, under Headmaster Mr Andrews. The late Mr Christopher Joubert, son of the founder of Bryanston Primary School, and a respected staff member for many years, wanted to create an event where not just learners and teachers were involved in a sporting event, but also to reach out to as many people as possible, to get the community involved and make a spectacle of the day. Sadly, Mr Joubert passed away in 2012, but his legacy will always be part of the school and this tournament. Bryanston Primary looks forward to another successful and enjoyable tournament in 2018!

The exhibition is currently on show at the Kameraz Gallery in Rosebank. The organisers of the exhibition have said ‘Millennials’ is an exhibition showcasing work by the new generation of photographers, the Millennials, with the aim of challenging perceptions of the current photographic industry by providing a platform for local South African photographers who use Instagram as a platform for sharing their work. They will have the opportunity to display their images in a gallery setting and help break the stigma that surrounds photographers who use Instagram.
