Greek term or phrase: τηρουμτζήδες
The article is about a Greek school in South Africa, and includes a biography of the Head of the Greek Department. She states:

Είμαι το παιδί Ελλήνων «τηρουμτζήδων». Γεννήθηκα – κυριολεκτικα (!!!) – πίσω από τον πάγκο του μαγαζιού. Εκεί μεγάλωσα, εκεί έζησα όλες τις ελεύθερες ώρες μου, εκεί εργάστηκα, βοήθησα τους γονείς μου από μικρό παιδί, πατώντας σε «Κόκα Κόκα μπόξι» για να σερβίρω τους πελάτες. Εκεί πέρασα τα σχολικά μου χρόνια και εκεί έγραφα τις πανεπιστημιακές μου εργασίες.

It goes on but doesn't say anything else about her parents. I searched google and tried different spellings in case there is a typo but came up with nothing. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Dionysos Festival, Kirstenbosch, Cape Town
Kirstenbosch goes Greek from late November to December 21st with its annual festival of outdoor theatre, food, wine-tastings and garden walks. The main attraction is Sophocles' famous tragedy 'Oedipus - the Tyrant', directed by Roy Sargeant, which will be staged in the Open Air Theatre in the early mornings as well as evenings. Guided walks through the garden will feature plants with mythological connection such as the Protea, named after the Greek god Proteus.
The Silvertree Restaurant will be serving daily Greek specials and pre-theatre meals, while the ***Tea Room*** will be offering a special Mediterrenean buffet with sparkling wine after each early morning performance of Oedipus.
For those on holiday in Cape, what better way to start your day?
