North West Premier Thandi Modise wishes to congratulate centenarian Rosinah Chanki Mokoene of Hebron near Ga-Rankuwa outside Pretoria on celebrating her 100th birthday today.
“We wish Granny Mokoene a very Happy 100th birthday and a healthy and pleasant future. Longevity is a blessing from God. Gray hair is indeed a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life. The province is blessed to have among its senior citizen someone who has lived 1 200 months, 5 200 weeks, 36 500 days, 876 000 hours, over 52 million minutes - over 3 billon seconds to reach Granny Mokoene ’s admirable age. Wisdom is with the aged, and understanding in length of days,” says Premier Modise.
Premier would have loved to share special day with Granny Mokoene but has delegated MEC for Social Development, Women, Children and People with disabilities, Mosetsanagape Mokomele-Mothibi to represent her at the birthday celebration function organised by the Mokeone and Moumakoe families as she is nursing flu.
Modise calls on communities to love and care for the aged and protect them against abuse and neglect.
