One hundred years and still counting.

Port Elizabethan, Henry Leander, reached a milestone on Monday when he celebrated his 100th birthday surrounded by family and friends at his Windvogel home.

Also there to wish him well were MPL, Christian Martin and Nelson Mandela Bay Council chief whip, Joy Seale.

Having only retired at the age of 75 years old, Leander has 15 children, 63 grandchildren, 120 great grand children and 46 great-great grand children.

Eldest daughter Jecaba Elana Potgieter says that her father is her role model.

"I am 76-years old and my father has always been there for me. My father means alot to us. He is such a jovial man and never wants to hurt anyone's feelings. I am saving all I want to say to him for the celebrations on Saturday."

The family will hold a prayer service for Leander at St Kevins Church Hall on Monday evening as well as a celebration on Saturday.
