With many women and men worldwide spending thousands on nips and tucks designed to defy the clock, the NEWS asked residents if they were afraid of ageing.

Sume Bummer said, “No I’m not afraid of ageing. Ageing is beautiful; I think becoming old is the greatest gift. With age comes knowledge.”
Gavin Jones said, “Yes I’m afraid of ageing. I don’t want to be a burden one day. I’m freaked out when old people stare at me. I feel like they wish they were my age again. I’m already going grey and that’s freaking me out.”
Jan Masemola said, “No I’m not afraid – it’s part of life.”
Enock Moyo said, “No, because it’s natural. Whether I’m scared or not I can’t change it, I will age. It’s like dying – you can’t avoid it, eventually it will happen. Even ageing, it doesn’t scare me, because I have no control over it.”
