The people of Mzansi shared their views on their superhero elders

Yup, there is no denying that those who came before us fought battles we couldn’t even imagine fighting in our dreams. They have earned the right to sit where they want to with no skaam. Peeps called on shops to make areas for the elderly to sit, shame.

Take a look at some of the hilarious comments:

Gogo, 100, walks a whole 2km to drink with buddies in nearby village, Mzansi stans: “Legend, that one”

In related news, Briefly News once reported that Sue Nyathi on Twitter shared a lovely yet funny story about her grandmother. Sue's gogo is a respectable 100 years old. Recently, her 65-year-old mother was a bit upset that her gogo walked a whole two kilometres to attend a 'drink up' at a village nearby.

Her gogo didn't were a mask and was socialising. Naturally, Sue's mother questioned her gogo, who was supposedly quite nonchalant about the matter. According to Sue's story, her gogo hit her mother with the "If I die, I die" line.

Sue's descriptive narration of the hilarious story gained some traction on the bluebird app. Over 6 400 users liked her tweet and tons of peeps rolled in with replies about her gogo being quite the gangsta.
