Gosiame Thamara Sithole, the 37 year-old South African woman, who claimed she gave birth to a world record ten babies fabricated the story.
Miss Sithole had claimed she had seven boys and three girls at a Tembisa Hospital in Pretoria early in June.
But an investigation conducted by local government officials has found that her story was a cock and bull stuff.
Investigators found that Miss Sithole ‘did not give birth to any babies in recent times’.
‘It has also been established that she was not pregnant in recent times,’ the report indicated.
Meanwhile Miss Sithole has been sent to a mental hospital to evaluate her.
Doubts about her record-breaking decuplets feat emerged when the father, Teboho Tsotetsi, said he had yet to meet his children and accused his lover of a hoax to make money.
Miss Sithole was then admitted to a psychiatric hospital.
In a statement, the Gauteng Provincial Government said: ‘Miss Sithole was admitted to Tembisa hospital on 18 June 2021, and various medical tests were conducted on her to determine her state of health.
‘Initially, she was meant to be kept at the hospital for 72 hours, which lapsed on Tuesday. Upon completing their preliminary examination, her doctors recommended that she be kept at the hospital for a further seven days for further observation, in accordance with the Mental Healthcare Act.
The editor of the news agency who first reported the claims apologized for not checking Miss Sithole’s claims:

ReplyDeleteAmateur Journalism, why did they break the news without seeing it for themselves? As in, no pictures of babies, you are already reporting it.
ReplyDeletePlease...how is this different from the social media posts that are re-posted on blogs such as this one, whereby someone will claim that their aunt has finally given birth after 25/30/40/45 years of marriage?! We never see pregnancy/hospital photos...just a pix of a feeble looking woman carrying the babies in her hand at home. The comment section will be full of tappers and congratulatory messages...yet we all read the stories of baby factories being raided and people being arrested! Where are those babies sent to? No one chooses to make a correlation?
DeleteWhere are the tappers?
ReplyDeleteI’m even laughing at myself. So gullible. Why didn’t anyone ask about the kids? Pics? How they are doing? Etc. we Africans can be so gullible and our investigative journalism is just ZERO.
ReplyDeleteSo many carried the story, yet not a single question. We are truly a naive lot.
You expect people who believe a womb can "grow back" after an hysterectomy to ask for proof before believing "any" story? Hian! They will call you "doubting Thomas" and "unbeliever" o. Dem go say your faith be like watery akamu; e no strong like akpu.
DeleteThe moment the news break for obodo oyibo, all the media houses go don relocate to the hospital dey question/interview all the hospital staff, family, friends, frenemies, neighbours, everybody until dem establish the truth kpom kwem. For Africa? Whosai! Na to begin tap Yabaleft escapee miracle upandan without evidence. All the people that tapped then will start chanting "God forbid" now. Use your brain; mba. Ngwanu😏. Mad woman sef don scam Africans. Thank God for the father who asked for proof. Some online magas go don wire them money sef for the "babies' upkeep". Issa cruise something 😂😂😂😂😂.
STOP tapping "PR/internet miracles without proof"!!
Amebonawork, you sef eh. See me laughing like wetin I no know 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
DeletePeople plenty for this blog iswearugad
Good analysis Amebonawork, I can't fault it!
DeletePalm wine tappers how una dey? Not everything una go dey tap. I agreed waiting mothers needs miracles but be careful what you tap.
ReplyDeleteDon't go and tap women who use other means to get pregnant. They will never tell you the real stories.
May God Almighty come through for you as you earnestly await your fruits in Jesus Christ name AMEN
Well done to the tappers.
ReplyDeleteThis woman na real shithole ooo
ReplyDeleteHaha this no follow na
ReplyDeleteIfeneme!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow could someone have tapped into this?
ReplyDelete🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️
Na wa o
ReplyDeleteNah wah oh
ReplyDeleteOgbonge liar!
ReplyDeleteAll those lady (wine) tappers tapped into stuffed pillows!
ReplyDelete😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜
Wahala be bicycle
ReplyDeleteWhy will she lie
Oh well, I don't even know how anyone will tap into this even if it were true. Like why would I want 10 babies @ once? If you have ever been pregnant with multiples or know someone who has been pregnant with multiples, you won't even pray for 10 babies.
ReplyDeleteMultiple pregnancies are high risk and complicated.
Ngwanu... Tappers, over to you
ReplyDeleteWawu.. God is faithful
ReplyDeleteActually read the story before commenting.
DeleteOdikwa egwu really
ReplyDeleteThis has to be the funniest thing I’ve read in recent times! How an insane person can scam a whole continent of supposedly sane people. Like someone up there said, Africans generally are too gullible.
ReplyDeleteI knew something wasn’t right with that picture.
She stuffed her tummy but forgot to stuff her bra, face and limbs 😒🥴🤥.
ReplyDeleteI guess those who tapped should expect pillows in a few months.
Women and men trying to conceive are going through enough already. Pulling scams like this one is truly cruel.
