132 years old and waiting for the game
A South African woman may just hold the record in age, if the Guinness Record Book will get off their tailbones and do some hard work to confirm her age.
And that's what 132-year-old Moloko Temo claims is her secret to a long life. She told Reuters: "We would walk very far to fetch firewood. We would make very big clay pots and use them to collect water from a hole or river, and carry them back on our heads."
The excercise of these daily tasks in the farmlands of Mamohwibidu, a remote village in the far reaches of South Africa's northern Limpopo province, combined with a diet of fresh foods is her secret fountain of youth.
Despite now being blind, the widowed mother of 6 (only two of which still live), is an avid sports fan who hopes to live to see the 2010 Soccer World Cup, which is being hosted in South Africa.
