Mazibuko, a native of South Africa, was believed to have been born on May 11, 1894, making her a witness to three centuries of history.

Her family expressed their sadness at her passing just two months before her 129th birthday. Mazibuko’s daughter-in-law, Thandiwe Wesinyana, who also served as her caregiver, shared with news outlet News24:

“We loved to pray together and spent most of our days drinking tea and talking.”
