Her daughter-in-law Thandiwe Wesinyana said it’s thought Mazibuko died from a stroke on March 3. She told News24: “We loved to pray together and spent most of our days drinking tea and talking. “I don’t know who I’m going to have fun with anymore. “A wound has opened, my heart is sore, and I am shattered. The community is saddened. We’ve all lost a mother.” Mazibuko would have been 129 in May. Speaking to News24 to mark her birthday last year, Mazibuko said: “I am amazed at why I am still here after so many years. “Why am I still here? People around me have been dying. “When will I die? What’s the point of being alive? “The world has tired me because I am just sitting here doing nothing.” Thandiwe said said she took Mazibuko to hospital on February 14 and was treated for a stroke before being discharged on February 28. She sadly died at home three days later and will be buried on Saturday in Jouberton. Mazibuko was one of 12 siblings – of which three are still alive. She married an older widower Stawana Mazibuko and they had seven children together. Mazibuko also had more than 50 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
