A Port Elizabeth great-grandmother has told of how her 101-year-old husband is still a “tiger in bed” and revealed the secret that has helped the old man’s "4-5" stay strong even at such an elderly age.
Lumnike Heleni, who has been married to his wife Bekiwe (95) for 66 years, told Daily Sun in a recorded interview that the secret to his manhood being able to stay strong was bathing with cold water since his youth days.
“When I graduated from initiation school at the age of 32, the elders told me to bath in the river,” Heleni told the paper.
“I don’t know what diabetes or high blood pressure is. I only get sick if I wash with warm water, which makes me feel weak and tired,” he said.
His wife Bekiwe said the father of six, grandfather of 15 and great-grandfather of 16 was still a tiger in bed.
Lumnkile added: “It never fails and in my house there is always peace.”
The couple were honoured by mayor Danny Jordaan to celebrate the Day of the Elderly.
