Nomembhana Botyeni, from Ncerha Village 3, celebrated her 100th birthday on December 4 and was surprised by her daughter in-law with a party. She was shocked and did not expect such a surprise, saying that ‘after this birthday when God calls’ her she will be able to rest in peace. She is a bubbly elder who loves listening to Xhosa music and drinking umqombhothi (African beer). The family would like to thank Greenfields SPAR for the cake Picture: SUPPLIED
