128 year old Johanna Mazibuko shares her experiences

by



Johanna Mazibuko who was born on 11 May 1894 has lived an extraordinarily long life spanning through the late 19th century, the entire 20th century, and the beginnings of the 21st century. While her story is of an ordinary farm girl blessed with long life, our reporter Sentleeng Lehihi and video Journalist Jabu oa-Afrika spent a day with her to hear more about her life after living through two world wars, the end of Apartheid, and the dawn of democracy as well as two global pandemics.

  6. This is more of a historic summary of domestic and international events. I clicked the video to learn more about the elderly lady's biography, not a generic summary of historic dates.

  11. I don’t think the old lady knows her age. There must be some mistake here. Most of them couldn’t write and read and the things she is talking about are not so old. At least she must talk about the era before First World War. I heard the commentator speak about 2018 Spanish flu but the old lady speak about covit19. If this is correct then she must go into book of records as the longest person ever alive and after her passing should be ever lived. The longest record of the person lived longest was 122.

  24. Amazingly vital for her age, when many struggle with dementia/senility. Also amazingly honest about her present physical weaknesses, humble and positive about life, full of real wisdom!…these are some of the secrets behind her old age .
    Peace, joy and blessings to this very special lady!

  25. This lady is a living legend, she has been living close to 13 decades now is so rare for people to reach that age. I just can't believe she already hit 104 when I've escaped from my mother's womb.

  29. Its amazing that she has lived this long, more life to her. But the title is misleading. If you were to have someone who was out there in the world and experienced South Africa and its historical events at first hand then this would've been interesting. Or if you had let her share her personal lived experiences and how she has managed to age gracefully. Instead you gave us a brief history that she wasn't even aware of. Her life was basically in one place and she wasn't even aware of the occurrences that were taking place in her lifetime. Hence exposing poor journalism and waste of state resources.

  32. That's what happens when you live off home grown Veggies, organic "Homegrown" chicken with consuming all these Chemicals in the food we now eat in the cities!!! When I was a little boy my grandmother once told me her parents and grandparents lived till they were 100+ just like Mrs Mazibuko! We need to take better care of our body's yall.
