The year 2007 could deepen the wrinkles on Moloko Tomo's face as she enters her 132nd year as the world's oldest living person.
South Africa's Tomo, who joined in the celebrations to usher in the New Year with her great-great grand children on Monday, officially turns 132 this July, according to a news report.
Hailing from Limpopo province, Tomo is believed to be the oldest living person in the world though the Guinness Book of Records is yet to recognise the status, according to the national SAFM News.
She was born in 1874, it said.
In her message, she urged the youth, especially her great-great-grand children to look after themselves.
