South African Woman Denies Father Alleges That She Faked Giving Birth To 10 Children
A South African woman who recently went viral after she reportedly broke a world record by giving birth to decuplets has spoken out against her children’s father who says the whole thing was fake.
The mystery surrounded Gosiame Thamara Sithole after she made headlines for giving birth to 10 babies The Sun reported. Tebogo Tsotetsi, the father of the alleged 10 children, sat alongside her ahead of the delivery and expressed his excitement for the children’s arrival.
However, Tsotetsi alleges he hasn’t seen or heard from Sithole since June 7, right before she went into labor according to Pretoria News. Sithole says that she gave birth to seven boys and three girls. As of now, there hasn’t been any evidence of the births other than the news report.
At first he expressed his excitement for the birth of their children, Tsotetsi became doubtful. He was unable to be with Sithole during the delivery because of COVID restrictions. However, with Sithole seemingly avoiding Tsotetsi since the alleged delivery, the father now thinks the babies don’t exist.
“The family has resolved and concluded that there are no decuplets born between Tebogo Tsotetsi and Gosiame Sithole, until proven otherwise and wishes to apologize for any inconvenience and embarrassment,” a statement read.
The family filed a missing person’s report to determine the validity of the newborns. Sithole now says she was “blindsided” by Tsotetsi’s claims.
Gosiamo #Sithole says the Tsotetsis are bitter because they wanted to use her to make money. She says they are being used by politicians. Sithole says she will not be pressured by the Tsotetsi family to disclose the whereabouts of her babies, because they never liked her anyway. pic.twitter.com/DB7xK8hl8v

Sithole claims the family is just “bitter” and only looking to profit from the public donations.
