Updated | By Nokukhanya N Mntambo
The South African government says it has no record of the woman who allegedly gave birth to 10 babies.
This comes after reports surfaced claiming Gosiame Sithole broke the Guinness World Record at a Pretoria hospital on Monday night.
According to IOL, the 37-year-old gave birth to seven boys and three girls by C-section.
But government spokesperson Phumla Williams says they are having hard time tracing the new mom.
“Government has been unable to verify the authenticity of this birth at our facilities.
“We need to verify this story and provide assistance where needed,” Williams adds.

The news left social media users with mixed emotions.
