Koko Mashienyane, born on 28 July 1910, holds the title of South Africa’s oldest validated living person. At nearly 115 years old, Koko has lived through two world wars, the invention of television, and the rise of the internet! As of 16 July 2025, she is exactly 114 years and 355 days young. Her secret? “Eat simple, pray often, and keep moving,” she once said. As her 115th birthday approaches, Mzansi celebrates a true living legend — our very own Super Granny!
