AWSUMCelebrity Interview
“Tonight I stepped on this stage as Demi-Leigh NelPeters; I now greet you as Miss South Africa 2017. Thank you.”
With these words, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters stepped into her role as a national role model for the women of South Africa and officially the most beautiful woman in the country. AWSUM News chatted to DemiLeigh about her journey from the small coastal town of Sedgefield, where she matriculated with five distinctions at Outeniqua High School, to stepping into the national limelight.
Q Tell us about your journey to the Miss SA crown, which you won on 26 March 2017. A I have dreamt of this my whole life, since I was just a little girl. At first I just admired the glamorous women walking on the Miss SA stage, but I have been inspired and motivated by their achievements. I have learned to work hard and do well at school and to push my limits. If I can make that difference to just one girl’s life, I would have done well. My dream came true – yours can too. Q How did you feel when you were announced as Miss South Africa 2017? A I was overwhelmed. It was an eight-month long process of blood, sweat and tears. The amount of work going into the campaign is staggering. I worked very, very hard for this, and am so deeply grateful that all this hard work paid off. Q You have been in leadership positions and making a difference since you were at school. What were those positions? A I was the first girl in my high school to be chosen as head girl of both my school and my hostel. I was also elected as the Deputy Junior Mayor of the George City Council in Grade 11. Q Tell us a bit more about your family. A I grew up in two loving households. My parents got divorced when I was two years old and I am so lucky to have had four wonderful and supportive parents throughout my life. I never felt like anything was wrong, because this was my normal. Q What do you do in your free time (if there is such a thing)? A I like going to the gym for a good workout, and also to do ParkRuns. I love taking my two Yorkies, Benji and Baxter, for a walk. I also like reading – mostly fiction and science fiction, and also autobiographies. I have recently read The Alchemist and Charlize Theron’s autobiography. Q What is your favourite food? A I’m a real foodie! I am not fussy at all and eat just about everything. I love tucking into oxtail in a red wine reduction served with butternut and samp, and also barbeque pork rib with oven-roasted vegetables. And you can give me dark chocolate and good coffee anytime. Q What do you plan to contribute during your reign? I want to promote entrepreneurship and job creation for the women of South Africa. I hold a B.Com in Business Management and Entrepreneurship from North-West University and it will stand me in really good stead to follow in the footsteps of successful previous Miss South Africas such as JoAnne Strauss, Cindy Nell and Basetsana Kumalo. Q What would you like to say to the young girls and young women of South Africa? A When you believe in something, believe all the way. Don’t be scared to be different. Make your mark – you will find a way to to do anything that you are passionate about. When you look back, don’t ask yourself ‘Why didn’t I?’ Nothing is impossible. The word itself says ‘I’m possible’.

Hatties vs Vredenburg High
Father-and-Son Rugby evening
On Saturday, 6 May our sport staff and various teams headed out to Vredenburg High for a much anticipated sports day. Hockey, netball, soccer, chess and rugby made part of a very memorable day which both schools thoroughly enjoyed. We would also like to thank our supportive parents, who made the long drive out to the West Coast to support our teams – your dedication contributed towards our victories of the day.
Every year De Kuilen Primary School arranges a Father-and-Son Rugby evening at our school. The Grade 1 rugby boys and their dads, along with the De Kuilen Primary coaches, learnt mini-rugby skills and techniques. It was a fun bonding experience for the learners and their dads. We are not always sure who enjoys the evening the most, the dads, little boys or the coaches.
