She responded by saying that people are not meant to wash every day:
“You’re not supposed to wash daily inside the bathtub. You only go in once or twice every month and then only wipe the important parts for the rest of the month. If you wash every day, you’ll end up failing all the time when you’re asked a question.”
The response made the granny’s daughter chuckle and floored many other South African people who loved the clever response. Some Mzansi people felt seen after the elderly woman shared her take on bathing.

There’s no need to shower every day
Bathing every day is a manmade rule built on habit. Medical professionals shared that there are no true intrinsic health benefits to scrubbing your body daily.
According to an article by RNZ, the COVID-19 lockdown was one of the reasons why people started bathing less. A BBC correspondent, Matilda Welins, shared three ways for people to shower less successfully:
- Spot-clean specific parts of the body with a flannel, for example, under the arm.
- Don't stop washing your hands.
- Find a trusted friend or family member and beg them to be honest in telling you whether you smell.
