Lebuso believes that sex is a demon and she uses the Bible to fight against it. Lebuso hails from Victory Farm near Clocolan in the Free State.
She said in a recent interview that she has had hundreds of men who have asked her out in her lifetime but turned each and every one of them down.
Lebuso explained that she lived with her sister, who unfortunately passed away two years ago, and they both maintained their celibacy.
The elderly local explained that if she feels any sort of temptation, she pulls out her Bible and prays the temptation away.
