New details have emerged about the South African woman who set a new Guinness record by giving birth to decuplets, 10 live babies, at once. Some publications have revealed that the decuplets mom, Gosiame Thamara Sithole is actually a side chick and is not married to the father of the 10 bundles of joy, Teboho Tsotetsi.
South African publication The Citizen reports that Tsotetsi is married to someone else and that he has been having an adulterous affair with Sithole.
Tsotetsi is reported to have been less than enthused when he learned that his side chick was expecting multiple babies and is alleged to have harangued her for not taking contraceptives.
The source who is alleged to be close to Sithole spoke to the publication and disputed some of the details which had been published by the Pretoria News when it broke the story on Tuesday.
According to the source, Sithole already had five children before falling pregnant and not two as was reported. The source claimed that Sithole’s six-year-old triplets and three-year-old twins are currently being taken care of by her family.
The source also disputed that Sithole is a retail store manager as was reported earlier, insisting that she is unemployed.
37-year-old Gosiame Thamara Sithole from Gauteng gave birth to seven boys and three girls who were delivered by Caesarean section at 29 weeks into the pregnancy.
According to another publication, The Daily Voice, one of these business people donated R1 million to Tsotetsi.
The source, whose motivations are not clear, also alleged that Tsotetsi had been mistreating Sithole when she was pregnant because he was not happy about having 10 babies from his side chick. He allegedly berated her continuously for failing to prevent the pregnancy by using contraceptives.
Sithole’s family is also alleged to have ostracised her because they are unhappy about the affair due to their staunch religious convictions.
Though some publications have questioned the existence of the decuplets, Tsotetsi informed the Pretoria News that the country “will see the babies when the time is right”.
