Little girl Ontlametse Phalatse, living in Hebron, Gauteng, South Africa, although only 12 years old, has the face of a 70-year-old woman. The reason Ontlametse is like this is because she has premature aging.

With her current condition, Ontlametse may only live to be 13 years old, but her mother, Bellon Phalatse, always hopes her daughter can live much longer. She said: ‘Ontlametse knew he was dying and she accepted that. I just wish Ontlametse could live long.”
Her mother just wished she could talk longer.
Ontlametse, on the other hand, only had a good way of life for a short period of time. Ontlametse confided to the press with a smile always on his face: “I know I have to accept who I am. I don’t care what people say. I’m proud of myself.”

She is always optimistic and loves life.
