I don't believe this one is 115.

Still looks young

I want to live until 50.... That's me✌️

Some of us dont wanna live that long hey

TRUE

Honoring your mother & father doesn't guarantee you a longer life span, that's the reality.,

115? Some of these old timers don't know their real chronological age/year of birth, weren't born in a hospital, no birth records just estimates which are sometimes off.

His pension should be double.

'Kak' lots of bullshit that. I know alot of men and women who lived, cherished, obeyed,loved and respect their parents including their elders. They unfortunately died at an early age, some just started their careers after studying hard.Please daai is klomp wat julle praat/skryf

damn he looks like he's living in poor conditions
