Johannesburg – South African government is scrambling to validate the birth of ten babies from a woman which went viral on social media.
Government said it has noted media reports and social media posts alleging that a South African woman has given birth to 10 babies and reportedly broken the world record.
The posts attribute the birth of the babies to Gosiame Thamara Sithole from Gauteng.
Government Communciation and Information (GCIS) Director-General Phumla Williams in a statement said government has been unable to verify the authenticity of this birth at its facilities.
“We need to verify this story and provide assistance where needed,” said Williams.
We have spent a better part of today tracing the story of @IOL of a woman having given birth to 10 babies! @IOL can you please help the public where this birth happened!

Tembisa 10 sounds like a group of guys who were convicted of drug dealing and money laundering. Can't they be called something else? 😅

So the #ThumaMinaMediaGroup is still unable to locate the Tembisa 10. Piet is making sure that they are breathing through the wounds because #PietNeverLies.
