HER oldest child looks more like her sister, and her youngest child is a pensioner . . .
But at 109, gogo N’wa-Phafula Chauke still has lots of love to give.
Just ask her 52 grandkids, her 115 great-grandchildren and 37 great-great-grandchildren.
The gogo from Rivala Village near Giyani, Limpopo recently celebrated her birthday with her five remaining children, grandkids and villagers.
Gogo N’wa-Phafula hasn’t only outlived her husband Samuel, who died in 1983, but also two of her three sons.
Gogo said: “The secret to my long life is that I pray hard, go to church often and have never taken a pill in my life.”
All her kids are pensioners.
Her daughter, Mamayila Chauke (67) said: “My mum loves eating good food.
“She also enjoys cake when we celebrate birthdays, and always has her rice with tomato sauce and mayonnaise.”
