The Golden Years today features Mama Gertie, living not her dream but her passion! At 76-years-old, confined to crutches, Mama Gertie continues to add value to the community and the youth of Gugulethu. Topping that, she cooks for them, teaches the children of the area, knits, crochets and sometimes does flower arranging. And when all of this is not enough, she digs into her own pocket to keep the love alive, the love for the children and helping others. Can you beat that...living The Golden Years!

The Golden Years celebrates, acknowledges, appreciates and represents the lives of South Africa’s diverse colourful senior citizens in an entertaining, interesting and honest manner.

Catch The Golden Years every Tuesday at 11:00 on SABC 2.
