The world’s oldest living woman Johanna Mazibuko celebrated her 128th birthday on May 11.

Johanna Mazibuko was born in Jouberton, Klerksdorp, in South Africa’s North West province. Her name is also delved in The Guinness Book of World Records, with the evidence showing the woman was born in May 1894.

She said that she was born on a maize farm in the Ottosdal region. Johanna also stated that she was the eldest of 12 and three of her siblings are still alive today. She has witnessed British colonialism, apartheid, and two world wars in the years since.

Remembering her childhood days, Johanna said we lived so well on the farms. There were no problems. But recalling one of the times, she said, once there was a plague of locusts on the farms. She said we could catch and consume some of them. It was as if you were consuming meat. We would simply fry them and eat them just like that.

What is the secret to her long life?

In today’s time, people’s eating and drinking habits have completely spoiled. Every food we eat contains chemicals that harm our health. Doctors claim that this chemical causes serious problems that affect a lot of people. Last week, Johanna Mazibuko, a South African resident, celebrated her 128th birthday. It is believed that she is the world’s oldest lady. She claims that perfect food is necessary for a long life.

She also said that a combination of fresh milk and wild spinach has helped her reach the ripe old age of 128 and says that while she does eat modern food now, she sometimes misses the simplicity of her childhood.

Johanna said she struggles with her hearing but is still independent enough to move around her house and watch people out the window.

Johanna Mazibuko’s personal life

She regularly sits and recalls childhood memories, with certain years being simpler to recollect than others. She said she was married to a man who was much older than her. His first wife had passed away. He was an independent individual. That man was quite kind to me and made me forget about my past life. I had everything I needed, she said. She and Stawana had seven children, two of whom are still alive today. She also has 50 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

He owned cows and a horse carriage. She would milk the cows and sell the butter. Johanna made a living doing domestic work for farm owners after she married and continued to work over the years. However, as she grew older, she hired Thandiwe Wesinyana as a caregiver.

Since 2001, the two have been living together and have become close friends. Thandiwe said I can’t sleep when I am not next to her. When I come back, she will also say she couldn’t sleep. She says she just sits by the window looking at the gate and wondering when I will be back.

Preity Zinta praises Rohit Sharma, calls him powerhouse of talent

Published

on

Just over two weeks after Preity Zinta denied rumors that she wanted Rohit Sharma to lead the Punjab Kings, the owner of PBKS took to social media platform X to praise the former Mumbai Indians captain. Zinta answered questions from her fans and described Rohit as a powerhouse of talent, suggesting that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to nominate him as PBKS leader in the future.

However, for the Hitman, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 hasn’t gone as expected. The Mumbai Indians are virtually out of the playoff race, which means that Rohit’s squad will likely be eliminated early. This season, some MI players have failed, and even Rohit’s performances haven’t been enough to improve the team’s morale. Even though Rohit is clearly going through difficult circumstances, Bollywood actor and co-owner of the Punjab Kings Preity Zinta had nothing but love for him.

With just three wins in their last eleven matches, the Mumbai Indians are currently in the bottom of the points table and their only option is to move up the standings when they win against Sunrisers Hyderabad today.

Hardik Pandya’s team has lost eight of their 11 games this season, so far, making it seem nearly impossible for them to have things their way given how their campaign has started out. In the majority of their games, they have been unable to put up a cohesive performance and have lost games despite dominating one area of the game.

The Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru are the other two of the original eight clubs that have never claimed an IPL championship, along with Zinta’s PBKS. In 16 years have PBKS made only twice to the Playoffs; their best performance came in 2015, when they were runner-up to Kolkata Knight Riders. Even though it can be excruciatingly difficult to wait for an elusive IPL victory, Zinta manages to remain positive.

Karan Johar slams Kettan Singh for mimicking him in exceptionally poor taste, comedian apologises

After Karan Johar expressed disappointment over a comedian who mimicked him poorly, Kettan Singh has now apologized to the filmmaker for his act.

Filmmaker Karan Johar responds that it is exceptionally poor taste when a comedian mimics him on a TV show. The filmmaker criticised the comedian in a message he posted on Instagram Stories. Additionally, he said that he expects this kind of behavior from trolls but not from those working in the film industry.

Karan Johar revealed how he encountered this comedian’s performance. He said that he was watching TV with his mother when he noticed an imitation of him in a reality show promo that was on a respected channel.

However, comedian Kettan Singh responded to the story and apologized to the director, despite Karan Johar not mentioning the show’s title. KJo was referring to the comedy show Madness Machayenge—India Ko Hasayenge, whose recent episode was called Bollywood Meri Jaan. Actor Kettan Singh was portraying Karan Johar.

The Kuch Kuch Hota Hota Hai director wrote, He was sitting and watching television with his mom when he saw a promo of a reality comedy show on a supposedly respectable channel. A comedian was mimicking him in exceptionally poor taste. Karan said, he expects this from trolls and faceless and nameless people but when people who are in industry can disrespect someone who has been in the business for over 25 years it speaks volumes about the times they live in. This doesn’t even anger him it just makes him sad, the note added.

Ektaa Kapoor also came in support of Karan, and criticised these comedians for their ugly humour.

Re-sharing Karan’s post, Ekta said, happened so many times. Sometimes, shows and even award ceremonies have offensive humour. And then they expect you to attend, she added. Karan, please ask them to imitate one movie or classic of yours, Ekta wrote.

Comedian Kettan Singh responded to Johar’s remarks by saying he was sorry to the director. He clarified that being a fan of Johar’s work and seeing him on talk shows served as the inspiration for his mimicry of the actor. The comedian also mentioned how much he admired the director’s contributions to Indian cinema.

Meanwhile, Karan Johar’s film starring Salman Khan, titled The Bull is all set to release in 2025.
