With his debut album, Trading Change, he changed the music scene in 2014. This album gained gold status in South Africa, was crowned Album of the Year by iTunes SA and won multiple awards including MTV Africa Music Award for Best Pop & Alternative in 2015. Fast forward 4 years of awards, number one on all South African radio stations, touring with his inspirational modern folk music all around the world headlining festivals all over Europe, sold out shows in the US and now Jeremy Loops just launched his new album, Critical as Water. Before heading on his world tour, AWSUM had a chat with Jeremy.
We must start off by asking where were you in primary and high school? I went to Kommetjie Primary School. The local school in the village where I grew up. And then for High School, I was at SACS for a bit, before heading off to Reddam. Tell us about your inspirational music career, where and how did it start? I’ve always been artistically inclined, but I’m also deeply rational, and I realised early that the risk profile of majoring in something art-based was much higher than other industries. In university, I did a finance and property degree, but financial maths wasn’t interesting to me the way that art and music was. So I escaped to my guitar every chance I got. That slowly snowballed into where I am today. That’s not to say I wasn’t deliberate in deciding to really go for it, but rather that the start came from a place of escapism and passion, and just pursuing the avenues I felt were worth pursuing led me here. Congratulations on the launch of your new album. One of the singles, ‘Waves’, has garnered over 1 million streams since its release. Each project has its own obstacles. For every zig, there is a zag. Where there many when creating this album? I really struggled to get up to speed when I began writing this album. It took roughly a year to begin producing decent songs, and then another six months on top of that to begin producing good songs. I think a combination of fear and the pressure of expectation weighed heavily on me. I trusted myself, and slowly we began cobbling together something I feel is exceptional. The other major obstacle was managing cash flow, like any business. I’m completely independent and this album is entirely self-funded, and there’s huge financial exposure on something of this undertaking - hence why record labels continue to do well - but I’m happy with the decision to go about it this way.
You are the co-founder of Greenpop, please explain to our readers what Greenpop is about and the good work that you do. Greenpop is a tree-planting organisation that plants trees in under-green and underprivileged communities throughout Southern Africa. To date, we’ve planted more than 85,000 trees. While the overt aim is environmentalism and environmental education - hence the tree-planting - we also use it as a tool to bring communities together and uplift society. Greenpop is one of the things in my life I’m most proud of, and to quite literally watch trees you planted bear fruit and feed communities and improve people’s lives is rewarding in a way that’s quite difficult to explain. You are a Kommetjie Boytjie, do you enjoy going back to your hometown? Our family home is still there, so I’m home all the time. Many of my childhood friends still live out there, and those are relationships that are important to me. Our local surf break is also one of my favourites, so I have lots of reasons to go home to Kommetjie. It’s important to know and to embrace where you come from. After all the success and multiple awards, how do you keep your feet on the ground? By doing just that. Keeping your feet on the ground. I’m not distracted by material things and my goals and my family keep me motivated, so it makes it easier to keep sight of what got me here and to understand that the same philosophy will propel us forward. Okay, so we know you surf and like to plant trees but what do you do to relax? Spending time with my family, our dog Maya and being in the great outdoors as much as possible. Writing songs, when there is no deadline or pressure to deliver a new album, is another place I look to for relaxing. Your music is very uplifting and joyful, what inspires you to write such great songs? I write as a reaction to the world I’m in. For my first album, Trading Change, I was in a hopeful and

joyous space, so that informed those songs. This song has material that’s much darker, as in songs like Vultures and Underwater Blues, but that’s also a reaction to feeling like the world is a darker place than it’s been in a while. I find that if you’re open to life and to the world, inspiration is there just waiting for you to grab it. You just have to be open to receiving it. What do you see as success? Success is getting to wake up every day doing that which you wish to be doing with your time, whether professionally or personally. Wealth is not success. Acclaim isn’t success. Fame isn’t success. Success is quite literally being the master of your time and being content with how that time is allocated. If you can go back to high school, what would you do differently? Anything you want to tell the 16-year-old Jeremy? I find thinking back is dangerous because it’s to presume that the place you’re in now isn’t a good enough foundation to do the things you wish to do. All our mistakes and successes put us somewhere valuable to make new decisions and to create new opportunities from. So I’d say to 16-year-old Jeremy, ‘do you. We still have time to right the wrongs and to capitalise further on our rights.’ Any advice you can give to our AWSUM fans in school that want to follow a music career? Get the best education you can and study for as long as you can. And please do not make music your primary source of income at the beginning of your career. The less reliant you are on music to make money, the more likely you are to make music you are proud of. Only once your music career feels financially stable or you’ve mitigated as much of the risk as you can then should you jump in full force. You’re young. You have much more time than you realise… but also not that much. So get started! Perfect your instruments and skillsets, study, and live life receptive to learning from everything and everyone. http://jeremyloops.com/ Photo Credit: Taahir Matthews

Locally, many cookbooks focus on regions or cuisines specific to a section of the population. This book follows a different trajectory. It includes recipes from people from all walks of life. You will find recipes for korma, vindaloo and masala, made with seafood, lamb, beef, tripe and even goat. From fiery, strong curries to curries with subtle flavours. As a 5th generation South African of Indian descendant, Ishay travelled for a year across the length and breadth of South Africa, meeting cooks from all over South Africa, the purpose was to find their store of culinary memories and expertise. Ishay explores the fascinating story of the South African curry. Spanning almost 90 recipes and conversations with more than 60 cooks and food experts, Ishay threads together these aromatic flavours - from a classic KwaZulu-Natal crab curry to the Cape Malay chicken and crayfish curry, from Calvinia offal to kasi beef, from Orlando West to Qunu. Learn to cook Karoo venison, kerkbasaar kerrie en rys and vegetarian dhals – recipes taken from respected local cooks as they share their stories and recipes. This is a true tour through South Africa’s soul. Ex-lawyer Ishay is an award-winning travel and food blogger. In her blog, Food and the Fabulous, she writes about locals, cuisines, travel guides, topical issues and current affairs. She also writes for a variety of print and digital media, including the Sunday Times Travel UK, Mail & Guardian, Business Day, Olive Magazine and Fine Dining Lovers, to mention a few. Coming from Durban I love nothing better than a good fish curry and this one Rahul’s Fried Fish Curry is delicious, give it a try.
Method
1. In a heavy-based saucepan, heat 15 ml (1 T) of the coconut oil and sauté the onions. When the onions have browned, add the masala and turmeric and stir for a few seconds.
by Jenny Morris @jennymorrischef
2. Add the tomatoes. The tomatoes are ready when the oil rises to the surface after about 15 minutes. 3. Add the water and tamarind water. Bring to the boil and then lower the heat. Add the fish and salt and cook for 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. 4. Turn the heat off and remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the coconut milk and stir gently with a wooden spoon. 5. Heat the remaining 30 ml (2 T) coconut oil in a separate saucepan on high heat. Add the mustard seeds, curry leaves, chillies, ginger, garlic and coriander. 6. Cook on high heat for 15–20 seconds, then pour this over the fish.

So with the Easter break coming up Pepe Sofianos says get your gear up to scratch and your hair on high.
ALL HYPED U P!
Is it a fashion find or a glorified slipper? The new Gucci-style slides, trimmed with fake fur, of course, are your next must-have shoes. Part shaggy slippers, part preppy loafers with that nevermiss horse bit logo, these furry slides are the bomb. The eyecatching looks mean you don’t have to try too hard for some real fashion flair so team them with cropped jeans and cheeky fishnet knee-hi’s. Stepping into winter doesn’t get much comfier, or cooler, than this. Find yours at The FIX, R R149.99.
You got it --- this is Macaulay Culkin wearing a T-shirt with Ryan Gosling on it. And why not, both looking so hot?
FURRY FOOTSIES
Style Icon Olivia Palermo knows a good thing when she sees it and she’s cottoned onto the super-sleeve look big time.
STATEMENT SLEEVES are the season’s hottie. Just take a look around you and you’ll see everyone’s got something up their sleeves. Puffy, ruffled and larger-than-life, OTT sleeves are taking over the streets. Blow everyone away with this striking blue and white crossover blouse with sleeves to sigh over, R279.99, The FIX.
Hilary Duff is everyone’s style crush even when she’s running in the rain in her oh-so-chic furry slides.

@ PEPE SAYS
Shoes, sleeves and slick hairstyles are so rad RN there’s no way we can’t drool over them again and again and again … Enjoy!
WAX ON. WAX OFF.
Former 1D band mate Zayn Malik stepped up his game on the Red Carpet at the Oscars a few weeks ago sporting a trendy retro high top style. Check out the top of this page and you’ll see what I mean. For the girls it’s eye candy; for you guys it’s proof that a little hair wax goes a long way. So what is this stuff? It’s a thick hairstyling product containing wax which helps to mould, shape and hold your hairstyle. Because of its mea-styling power, you can create movement and add texture.
How to use hair wax:
1.Don’t just blob it on or you’ll get a greasy mess. To start, take a bit about the size of your pinkie nail and warm it in your palms. 2. Next, apply a thin even coating on your hair and style from the roots to the tips, while lifting your hair upwards as you go. Add a bit more wax more if you need it. 3. Finally arrange your hair in the style you want while twisting, scrunching or spiking up the tips if you want to add texture. It’s best to use wax on dry hair. The type of hair wax you use will also vary, depending on the style you want and it works whether you’re 8 or 18! See how these bro’s handled theirs.
Big Bro 1 and Lil Bro 1 --- for a slick high top, Perfect Touch Shine & Hold Wax, R46.95.
Big Bro 2 and Lil Bro 2 --- for a messy or spiky look, VO5 Rework Putty, R64.95.
Use Hair Gum Gummy, R149 to tame sides and scrunch hair for extra bang and there’s a whole wardrobe of waxes from Gatsby, R84.95, to switch your look from day to day.
Big Bro 3 and Lil Bro 3 --- for a smooth upsweep, L’Oréal Style Rework Architect Shine Wax, R71.95.

Big Bro 4 and Lil Bro 4 --- for a curly wild crop, Fish Paste Putty, R179.

HEADS UP
T-shirts --- you can never have enough especially when they look this good! Celebs are into graphic T’s featuring their own faces but if you can’t do that then the next best thing is to go for local poets and artists like Thabiso Mohare and That Darn Vandal and face up. Here’s a pair that cut it from Mr Price, R99.99 each.

The regional heat of the annual Kids Lit Quiz took place on Monday, 12 February 2018. The Kids Lit Quiz is an international competition, focusing on building a love of literature and reading amongst its participants. Students really look forward to this event, and challenge themselves to read widely from various genres and authors, in preparation for this fun and exciting day. This year, St Peter’s Prep Schools took two teams of four members each to
participate in the Quiz. The girls were extremely grateful for the opportunity to put their literary knowledge to the test! Between them, they have read hundreds of books! They showed much enthusiasm when answering the questions, presented by quizmaster, Wayne Mills. Our teams certainly did us proud in the competition, and were thrilled with their overall results.

Drama students experience excellence Senior Drama students were treated to a once-in-a-lifetime experience on 21 February, when they attended a production of “The Color Purple”. The all-South-African cast astounded us with their musical theatre skills, leaving very few dry eyes in the house. Grade 11 Drama student, Sage Palombo, shared some of her thoughts after the performance… “Completely speechless. ‘The Colour Purple’, a production like no other I’d seen before. The meaning behind of the songs sung brought tears to my eyes. My tears were not for the sad moments, but for the characters’ development and happy endings to each hardship. Exquisite voices with beautiful stories. I fell in love with each character as soon as they stepped onto the stage. The moments of comic relief brought humour to the serious themes, which in my opinion created deeper understandings. The stage and set were stunning: bare yet so creative, it told the story as much as the characters. As a woman, this play was so empowering to watch, and I felt privileged to have witnessed such home-grown talent. The play has taught me that standing up for yourself will create a life worth living, and that self-acceptance and love is hugely important in this age of insecurity and doubt. It also showed me that no matter where your loved ones are in the world, you carry them in your heart, and that’s what makes you strong.” - Sage Palombo (G11MKI)

Prefect Perfect! Thirty-five excited prefects arrived at school on Friday, 23 February, dressed for action! After an hour and a half drive through lush, green country side and a very busy Pretoria, we arrived at Camp Discovery. We were warmly greeted by the camp staff as well as our facilitators, Dylan and Lesego. In no time everyone was shown to their accommodation for the weekend. Activities started almost immediately, indoors unfortunately, as a light drizzle had set in- but nothing could damper the fun and enthusiasm! After the many fun, problem solving activities the weather cleared for a spell and everyone headed for the beautiful, sparkling pool to swim and play a bit of water polo if you were still feeling energetic. The day ended with an interesting game drive where we saw lots of game and Lesego and Dylan filled us in on all the animals on the 270 hectare piece of land. Supper was followed by a night hike and a very welcome bed by 10.30pm. Saturday was another busy day filled with some more activities and less rain. Most of the obstacles and activities are situated in the bushveld with many curious game as spectators. Lunch was followed by the dreaded Obstacle Course where the children swim and crawl through the various water obstacles. For once the rain had been welcome as the water was fresher and cleaner than the usual green, stagnant water that is found there. The finale swing from a platform into the pond is the highlight and Dylan was there to ensure everyone survived the ordeal. Dinner was followed by the “Prefects got Talent” show. We were given gorgeous hand-made invites and escorted to the hall where the teachers had a “Judges” table with a table cloth and decorations. I have to admit that the Prefects of 2018 do have talent and we had a fabulous evening. Final activity for the evening was “stalk the lantern” in the bush. The teachers decided to add to the excitement and made a few water bombs out of the medical gloves and bombarded the unsuspecting children. After all the excitement it was bedtime for all. Sunday after breakfast we packed and got ready to say fond farewells to Dylan and Lesego. They had certainly made the camp a memorable experience with their guidance and enthusiasm. A huge THANK YOU to the parents that helped transport our children to and from camp and to Mr Pienaar for footing the bill! The Prefects for their outstanding behaviour- you made Randpark proud. Last but not least thank you to Miss Paley and Mr Niehaus for giving up their weekend to assist me with the camp.
