She was one of two ladies suffering from the birth condition in South Africa.

Progeria which is a rare genetic condition that causes the body to age at a rapid rate has left Phalatse looking a hundred years old.

She was diagnosed with the condition back in 2009 with doctors saying that she would not live beyond age 13.

Phalatse not only lived a longer life but a full life considering her bubbly disposition in the face of a very hard life.

She marked her 18th birthday with a meeting with South African President Jacob Zuma on Saturday, March 25, 2017.

During her meet with President Zuma, she joked: “I call myself a first lady because I’m the first black child with this disease. Which other black child do you know with this disease?”
