Social Development denies mother of Tembisa 10 is missing

Spokesperson Feziwe Ndwanyana says Gosiame Sithole has been in contact with the department.

The mother hasn't been spotted by the public since the world first got wind of the record-breaking birth of the decuplets.

According to IOL, the 37-year-old gave birth to seven boys and three girls at a Pretoria hospital on Monday night.

But the provincial government denied the claims that the babies were born in Gauteng after an extensive search of hospital records turned up empty.

Since then, the mystery has only deepened.

"She has contacted the Gauteng Department of Social Development and the department will make an announcement in due course," says Ndwanyana.

"The provincial SAPS has been notified," she adds.
