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.
