Mystery as father of ‘ten babies’ claims they ‘do not exist’ – and mum is still missing

Tebogo Tsotetsi says he does not think Gosiame Thamara Sithole gave birth to 10 babies in a statement reported by local outlets in South Africa – as a missing person’s case is opened for the mum

The news and pictures of Gosiame, 37, spread last week with claims she had broken a world record having given birth to 10 babies.

But now, in a dramatic twist, her partner Tebogo Tsotetsi has reportedly said he has ‘not seen proof the decuplets exist’.

A statement from his family says they have therefore concluded: “there are no decuplets born between Tebogo Tsotetsi and Gosiame Sithole until proven otherwise”.

Worries are also mounting over the whereabouts of Gosiame with a missing person’s case opened, according to reports.

The statement from the Tsotetsi family, reported by News 24, read: “He (Tsotetsi) made several attempts to visit his girlfriend and the babies but she has failed to disclose her whereabouts and the condition of their babies.

“The current uncertainties and public discourse about the decuplets is of major concern to the family, especially in the absence of any proof of the decuplets existence other than telephonic and WhatsApp messages from the mother.
