Documents show the South African centenarian was born in 1894. Mazibuko said that she was raised on a corn maize farm in Ottosdal, a town in South Africa.

“We lived so well on the farms. There were no problems,” she said of her early life with her 11 siblings, according to Metro UK.

She said that while she eats “modern food” now, she misses her childhood, a time when she had fresh milk and wild spinach.

Mazibuko also remembers snacking on insects following an infestation of locusts at her family’s farm.

“It was like you are eating meat,” she said. “We would just fry them and eat them like that, just on their own.”

The 128-year-old also recounted her marriage and family life.

“I was married to an older man,” she said. “His first wife had died. He was an independent man. He had a horse carriage and cows. I would milk the cows and make butter to sell.”

She continued, saying, “That man treated me very well and made me forget about my life before him. I did not want for anything.”

After getting married, Mazibuko earned money by doing domestic work for owners of neighboring farms over the years.

Mazibuko, who is also a proud grandmother and great-grandmother to 50 children, is fairly independent. She struggles with her hearing but is strong enough to move around her house. And her sweet tooth is well intact. In a picture of her birthday party, the 128-year-old is shown enjoying a piece of cake.

Mazibuko is one of several people who have reached centenarian status. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Sister André, a French Catholic nun, is 118 years old. Phil Hodgson, a 102-year-old Australian man, has been working at a toy store for over 25 years, 9Now reports.
