101-Year-Old Man Reveals Secrets Of Longevity

A 101-year-old Madala Lumnkile Heleni and his 95-year-old wife Bekiwe were honoured by mayor Danny Jordaan on Thursday, October 8, to celebrate the Day of the Elderly.


Speaking with Daily Sun, Lumnike Heleni, who has been married to his wife for 66 years, revealed that the secret to his manhood being able to stay strong was bathing with cold water.

According to Madala, who lives in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, cold baths are the reason for his longevity.

“When I graduated from initiation school at the age of 32, the elders told me to bath in the river. The water was icy because it was winter and since then, I’ve always bathed in cold water because it makes me feel fresh,” he said.

Madala added that healthy diet also helped him to live so long.

“I don’t know what diabetes or high blood pressure is. I’ve only been to the doctor twice in my life for back pain. I only get sick if I wash with warm water, which makes me feel weak and tired.”

“I grew up on a farm near Grahamstown and worked there. I still have my own garden and eat traditional food and vegetables,” he said.


Meanwhile, Bekiwe said that their family eats only samp, umphokoqo, a little bit of meat, and do not cook food with oil or too much sugar.

The woman revealed that her husband, who is the father of six and great-grandfather of 16, was still a tiger in bed.

“The cold water makes my manhood very strong. It never fails and in my house there is always peace,” Madala confirmed.
