“I Knew Mbuya Nehanda”, Says A Zimbabwean Woman Who Claims To Be 137 Years Old

A grown Zimbabwean woman has come forward saying she’s been around for a hundred and thirty seven years! But wait, this is not the only shocking news from the old lady who needs no assistance to get up and walk.

The woman claims to know Mbuya Nehanda, not from reading, she saw Mbuya Nehanda when she was still alive. “Kufa kwambuya Nehanda ndakange ndaberekwa, mbuya Nehanda ndinovaziva, Cimrenga ndinochiziva” said the old lady.

The woman who has nine children, ninety nine grandchildren and eighty great grandchildren according to his son says she grew up eating only traditional foods.

His son says his mother is a “hard mashona type”, she still walks on her own and can hear and see clearly. If history serves us well Mbuya Nehanda died in 1898, which means the old lady was 22 when Mbuya Nehanda died.

Wow, talk about good genes, definitely a first in Zimbabwe.
