NOURISH THE BODY www.icoachbjorn.co.za & Awsum Hope Challenge


AWSUMCelebrity Interview Leandie du Randt is an actress, presenter, MC, motivational speaker and author of the self-help book Comfortable In Your Own Skin. She is well-known for her roles in soapies such as Binnelanders and Getroud met Rugby and films such as Semi-Soet and Klein Karoo. She has won numerous acting awards over the years, and was runner-up in Season 7 of Strictly Come Dancing South Africa. We caught up with her to chat about the new blockbuster, Jagveld, to be released in movie theatres in March, and life in general. Q: Jagveld, the movie adaption of yet another Deon Meyer bestseller, sees you in the lead role as Emma le Roux. The film centres around Emma seeing a murder and the killers hunting her down as she flees. Emma, however, is the daughter of recce Jacques le Roux, who taught her everything he knows. Nothing about this hunt goes right and it becomes about survival of the fittest. Tell us about how this role was different. What were the challenges? What did it mean to you as actress? A: All I am allowed to say now is that I looooved this role and this film is a must-see from 17 March 2017 – definitely a first for SA! Q: What was the highlight(s) of your career this far? A: One of them is being able to tour to 60 different towns with my self-help book and motivational talk, #NoOneCanBeatYouAtBeingYou in 2016. Another one is being able to play an action role in Jagveld, opening on 17 March 2017. Q: What is your biggest dream at the moment? What would you really like to achieve professionally? A: I would love to play in international productions where the budgets allow you to train for months for a role before you film, and to do my motivational talks internationally. Q: Which professional actor/actress is your role model? Why? A: I have many role models for different parts of my life and career and it depends in what phase I am in my life. But I love Kate Hudson, Alicia Vikander and Nina Dobrev. Q: You studied Industrial Psychology – in fact, you excelled, with two degrees cum laude! How did you end up in the entertainment industry? A: Thank you. I won Miss Personality in my first year pagaent and the prize was Brümilda van Rensburg’s drama course. She trained me and connected me to the right people and opportunities and then, because God is able to do anything, that all synchronized. Q: You came second in Season 7 of Strictly Come Dancing South Africa. What was this experience like? What did you learn? What did you enjoy most? A: It changed my life. I realised that no matter how old you are, you can always learn a new skill and achieve something if you really work hard and believe it in your heart. I loved it so much to work hard and see results. My mind also grew stronger through all that stress and pressure on live TV. I am forever grateful for that great experience and to my dance partner, Brandon Eilers le Riche. and his beautiful wife, Natalie, who coached me, and my husband, Bouwer Bosch, who supported me mentally, physically and emotionally. You realise how much people’s support mean in that competition and it humbles you immensely.

Q: You self-help book for teens, Comfortable In Your Own Skin, became a bestseller. What inspired you to write this book? What did you hope to achieve? Would this book’s advice have been helpful to you as a teenager? A: I would hope that it would be helpful for me if I was a teenager. I wrote it to inspire girls to be themselves in a time where we get brainwashed to conform and look and be a certain way. Don’t compare yourself to anyone, because you are you and no one can beat you at being you – so focus on that and treasure that. Q: What’s your best advice for teenage girls to be healthy and happy and to deal with bodyimage issues? A: Live a balanced life. Get healthier by eating clean and get exercise – don’t focus on being skinny, but to be healthy physically and to be the best version of you outwardly, but most importantly inwardly. It doesn’t matter that you look like a goddess if your heart is aching and dirty – then that outward appearance is gonna fade and not be so rewarding as you thought. It starts in the mind – what you think you become, so think grateful thoughts and believe that anything is possible. Try and live healthy 80% of the time and indulge 20% of the time. All of us have different bodies and shapes, so don’t try and look like someone else – you will never succeed in that; try and look the best that you know you can. This is no competition, because no one is you. Q:Tell us about your childhood and where you grew up. A: I grew up in a small town, Makwassie, till I was nine and we moved to Kempton Park. I am very fortunate to have grown up in a loving and supporting home and family. My father is a reverend, my mom used to be a teacher and my brother is a CA. My mother passed away in 2014. Bless her lovely soul. Q: You tied the knot with Afrikaans singer Bouwer Bosch late in 2015 with an abandoned factory as the perfect backdrop to the fairytale wedding. How has married life been? A: All I can say is that I am so grateful to be married to my best friend. Q: What is in the pipeline for 2017? A: Lots of talks again, and films – and in this world anything is possible, so let’s see!

Northcliff high starts the new year with some fresh faces Mr Essex-Clark, our Headmaster, welcomed our new intake of Grade 8s to our school on their first day. His message to them was clear: “You will get as much out of high school as you choose to put into it. So step up and make your mark.” The Grade 8 pupils spent the first three days in an orientation programme designed to help them learn what is expected from a pupil at Northcliff High. They spent time learning the rules and getting to know how things are done under

the guidance of the school’s Senior Councillors. While having lots of fun at their new school, they all started to feel the Northcliff Spirit and by the end of the programme, they were a united group looking forward to rising to the challenges of high school. The culmination of the orientation programme was the Blazer Ceremony where each pupil was officially welcomed by the headmaster into the school and presented with their blazer bearing our school crest. Looking forward to great things, Matrics of 2021!


KING EDWARD VII SCHOOL (t) 011 551 5800 (e) www.kes.co.za Kings of Kowie! KES 1st 8 win Boat Race 2016 The Annual Schools’ Boat Race took place on the Kowie River in Port Alfred over 9 and 10 December. Heats were raced on the 9th while the finals took place on the 10th. KES 1st 8 raced in A Schools Final on Saturday, 10 December vs St Andrews 1st 8 and won. After heat trials on Friday, 9 December KES were placed as the fastest boat on the water and went into the final quietly confident but one can never be certain. KES 1st 8 were amazing, taking the lead from the beginning and by the halfway mark were ahead by a length. King Edward VII School 1st 8 were also awarded ‘The Most Improved Crew’ at the awards ceremony on 10 December.

Boat Race requires a combination of power and endurance coupled with an exceptional technical expertise. Athletes will be subject to physical fatigue as well as extreme psychological pressure. Our boys had trained hard during the examination period and after a final preparation camp at the Vaal River on 28 November left for Port Alfred on 6 December. The 2016 crew was coxed by club captain, Ntsako Mphahlani, who returned to the Kowie for his second race. After steering the boys to the A Final vs St Andrew’s, it was his experience and confidence in the crew that brought us home. Crew: Ntsako Mphahlani (cox); Cameron Menton (stroke); Nic Nepgen; Christopher Baxter; Liam Smit; Dean Geldhoff; Damien Bonhage-Koen; Brandon Bester and Keegan Reynolds. Spare men: Vincent Jackson and Cameron Bryce.

One School. One Team. One Mission Completed

KES 1st 8 are the 2016 Boat Race Champions.
