Biography[]

Elizabeth Maloka claimed to have been born on 1 January 1901/1902. She was first featured in the People’s Paper when she turned 107. She was visited by South African president Jacob Zuma in May 2010.

Elizabeth Maloka died in Zamdela outside Sasolburg in the Free State, South Africa at the claimed age of 112/113 years, 12 days.

Skeptics note that a claimed birthdate of 1 January is often an example of "age heaping", or a rounded age.
