World's oldest person' found in South Africa

 

At 119 years old Johanna Mazibuko, who lives in small town south-west of Johannesburg, could be the world's oldest person.

Ms Mazibuko was born in 1894, according to her identity papers, and has outlived five of her seven children.
"God gave my life in abundance, plus a bonus. I am very old now," she told South Africa's Sowetan newspaper.
According to Guinness World Records, the oldest living person is Misao Okawa, from Japan, who is 115.
Ms Mazibuko shares her house in Klerksdorp, which is about 160km (100 miles) south-west of Johannesburg, with her 77-year-old son, Tseko Mazibuko, who is also a pensioner.
According to the Sowetan, Ms Mazibuko prides herself on still being able to make her bed every morning.
