A woman who claims to be the oldest in the world says she just turned 128 and attributes her long life to two common foods.
The South African resident Johanna Mazibuko claims to be the oldest woman alive and that she reached 128 years old last week.
The oldest of 12 siblings—three of whom are still alive today—the centenarian was born on a corn farm near Ottosdal.
Even though she couldn’t read or write, she told the local news source News24, “We lived so well on the farms. There weren’t any issues.
She has trouble recalling details of her early years, although she does remember that there was once a locust infestation on the farms.
Where was Johanna Mazibuko born? Where did Johanna Mazibuko live?
A blink-and-you’ll-miss-it town on the R507 between Hartebeesfontein and Delareyville, northwest of Klerksdorp, Ottosdal is where Johanna was born. She lived there all her life until her death.
