AWSUM Northern Cape September 2023 Edition

AWSUM het die laaste paar maande `n ou historiese gebou in die Paarl gerestoureer om te dien as ons hoofkantoor. Die grootste uitdaging was die nuwe laag verf wat die mure, plafonne en dak sou kry en sonder die kundige hulp van JF Paints sou dié taak nie maklik gewees het nie. Elke mens wat al in hulle lewe gebou of gerestoureer het, weet dis nie `n maklike taak nie, en die een uitdaging na die ander staar jou in die gesig. So, as mens een minder kwessie het om jou oor te bekommer, het jy soveel meer tyd om op ander dinge te fokus en dis wat JF Paints vir ons beteken het - van die dag

AWSUM IS 10 JAAR OUD!

wat hulle spesialis ons kom help het om die regte verf te kies, tot die dag wat ons besef het ons kort nog verf en hulle benoud gebel het.

Ons visie kon `n realiteit word en ons is opgewonde om vandag die foto’s met ons lesers te kan deel.

Die idee om AWSUM tien jaar gelede te begin, het begin omdat my kinders op laerskool was en ek opgelet het dat die hoofstroom en plaaslike media nie regtig skole op grootskaal en op `n konstante basis ondersteun het om aan leerders die nodige erkenning te vir hulle prestasies te gee nie. Ja, daar was bietjie nuus geplaas, maar dit het vir my gelyk of die bietjie wat geplaas word, net geplaas word om skole “gelukkig” te hou.

Ek het gesien dat daar by elke skool baie gebeur in terme van sport, akademie en kultuur. Ek wou dat skoolnuus sy eie platform moes hê en wou `n koerant begin wat sonder ander nuus kon oorleef - `n koerant wat positiewe nuus deel. Ons almal weet dat negatiewe of slegte nuus en skandes en korrupsie koerante verkoop. Die risiko was groot. Neem in ag dat ons geen kennis oor koerante, uitleg, pryse vir advertensies en vele ander aspekte gehad het nie. Ons het nie eers die verskillende diktes van papier waarop koerante gedruk word verstaan nie.

Ons wou anders wees, so daarom wou ons op die ouers fokus en was dit van kardinale belang dat die koerant deur die skole saam met die leerders huis toe gaan en nie op winkelrakke lê nie.

Hierdie syfers vertel ons storie:

Ons druk elke jaar 4 koerante vir 22 streke landswyd.

Ons druk elke jaar in Februarie 8 provinsiale koerante spesiaal net vir matriekuitslae.

Ons druk 50 spesiale interskole uitgawes per jaar.

Ons jaarlikse beroepsgids is `n spesiale uitgawe waar ons saam met na-skoolse instansies saamwerk om studierigtings met matrikulante te deel.

2.5 miljoen ouers volg elke jaar ons nuus aanlyn op www.awsumnews.co.za.

Tien jaar gaan in `n oogwink verby en daar is baie wat ons in dié 10 jaar geleer het en baie waarop ons trots is. Soos ons aanlyn skolenuusplatform www.awsumnews.co.za wat ons vyf jaar terug begin het om daagliks onbeperkte nuus vanaf skole te deel. Ons deel hier oor die 2 000 skole se nuus en prestasies.

Ons wil graag dankie sê aan al die skole, hulle bemarkers, asook die duisende adverteerders wat ons deurlopend ondersteun. Sonder hulle, asook ons toegewyde personeel, sou dié 10 jaar nie moontlik gewees het nie.

Ons het groot planne vir die toekoms en ons sien uit na die volgende 10 jaar.

South Africa squad for ICC World Cup 2023: Full SA team list

Taking a senior role in the team is a no-brainer, says Proteas’ Kagiso Rabada

Proteas fast bowler Kagiso Rabada was awarded Test player of the year at the 2023 Cricket South Africa Awards and following his featuring in the top five Test wicket takers in the world this past season, the award was well deserved. Proteas fast bowler Kagiso Rabada told IOL Sport that it is his ‘will to win’ that continues to make him one of the best fast bowlers in the world.

Rabada has been playing for the Proteas for a good nine years and from the time he made his Proteas debut at the Adelaide Oval, it was clear that Rabada was cut from a different cloth; he was always on a league of his own.No one will forget his match winning performance in Perth in 2016 at the tender age of 21.

Post 2018, international cricket handed Rabada an important lesson that results won’t always go your way. Rabada says their 2019 World Cup campaign, which saw them knocked out before they could finish their round robin fixtures, taught him to rid of self-doubt and accept that on the day there’s a possibility you could end up on the losing side. “Personally, the 2019 World Cup taught me not to doubt and accept that there’s either defeat or success, and it’s about keeping success in your mind at all times.” said Rabada.

His eleven-wicket haul against Australia at St. George’s Park Cricket Stadium in 2018 will forever be remembered, but most importantly it was clear from those early years that Rabada was a different kind of beast.

The ups and downs of the past couples of seasons have not taken anything away from what makes Rabada special and he told IOL Sport that he attests all his success to his ‘will to win’.

“For myself I think what makes me so different and successful is my will to win,”said Rabada. “I mean, everyone is different but if you ask me what drives me it’s definitely my will to win.” He added.

“It’s all about welcoming the youngsters into the squad and making them feel a part of the team and making them understand where we want to go so that we are all in the same boat.” He added.

“Identity is important because it becomes what you go back to when things are going slightly off track,” explained Rabada. “It’s something you enhance when things are really going your way. It works as a reference; it acts as a compass as to what you want to achieve as a team.” He added.

There’s no doubt that the Proteas squad has the talent to go all the way in the World Cup this time around, but that journey starts with them coming up with their identity and their style of play and letting the rest take care of itself.

Looking at the squad, Rabada’s nine-year international experience will come in handy. Rabada says it’s a no brainer that he now has to step up and be the senior player in the team. “Because of my experience, how long I’ve been playing and what I’ve done, taking the senior player role is a no brainer for me,” said Rabada.

South Africa legends predict Proteas’ fortunes at World Cup

South African legends Jacques Kallis and Faf du Plessis have shared their thoughts on how the Proteas could fare at the upcoming ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 in India. South Africa head into the marquee tournament in India with a nice blend of youth and experience to pick from.

As good as the squad will be, the legendary all-rounder Kallis, speaking exclusively to the ICC, said the key for South Africa would be to stay true to their brand of cricket. “The one thing that needs to change for South Africa to be successful in a Cricket World Cup is to carry on playing the cricket that we’ve played going into the World Cup,” he said. “We have a history of playing good cricket leading into the World Cup. For some reason, things change. Maybe we want it too much. “I think players wanted too much and you’ve gone outside of the area you need to be doing. Maybe going outside of their roles because they wanted too much.”

Kallis had a valuable piece of advice to the current crop of players: “Stick to your roles. Trust the partner next to you. And just play the cricket you’ve been playing.” Kallis believes South Africa’s traditional strength – their pace attack – will once again be key for their hopes. “South Africa’s strength to me is going to be in our bowling attack,” he said. “We’ve got some quality pace bowlers that can blow away the opposition’s top-order. And I think they are going to play a major role if South Africa are going to get far, if we do get far (in the tournament).”

Kallis’ optimism was matched by former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis. “South Africa’s white-ball team is in a strong place,” du Plessis told the ICC. “They’ve got some real experience going into that World Cup.” Du Plessis, however, did warn that adapting to the conditions in the sub-continent would be the biggest challenge for Temba Bavuma’s men.

“The challenge for all teams that are not from the subcontinent is obviously always the challenge of going to the subcontinent,” he said. “Especially 50-over cricket. I find with T20 cricket, the surfaces are a bit more even. And you get some really good pitches. With 50-over cricket, you can get that wear and tear and the spinners really come into their own.”

Du Plessis however added that the home team, India, and serial winners Australia would be the teams to beat. “I think South Africa has got a really good side,” he said. “It will be hard to get past a team like India in home conditions. The other team you can never write off is Australia, with them being so successful in ICC events.”

Everyone is different but if you ask me what drives me it’s definitely my will to win.

Meisieshokkie - Platteland liga wenners

Die meisieshokkie het Saterdag, 12 Augustus, gaan deelneem aan die Platteland-liga se uitspele in Kimberley.

Die Junior hokkiespan het in die semi-finaal teen Hartswater se o.19 B gespeel en aan die einde van die wedstryd, was die telling 1 - 1. Om te bepaal wie na die finaal deur gaan, is ‘n “penalty shoot out” gehou. Die junior Kalas het uitstekend gevaar en wen 5 - 3. In die finaal het hulle teen Duineveld se o.16A gespeel. Die meisies het kliphard geveg, maar ongelukkig die wedstryd verloor 2 - 1.

Die Linx het teen Hartwater se 0/19A’s in die finaal gespeel. Dit was n ongelooflike wedstryd waar die Linx die regte Kala Linx karakter gewys het. Die Linx het aanhou veg tot op die laaste minuut. Kalahari se Linx stap weg as die Platteland liga WENNERS met ‘n telling van 3 - 2.
