The partner of the woman who claimed she had given birth to decuplets in South Africa says he does not believe the ten children exist. The 'mother', 37, is said to have told her boyfriend she gave birth to the babies after midnight on June 8. Ato South Africa's Sunday Times newspaper, the Mediclinic Medforum Hospital in Pretori - where Ms Sithole is claimed to have told her partner she gave birth - said it had not treated her. If the birth is confirmed as genuine, it would be a world record - coming just a month after a Malian woman, Halima Cisse, gave birth to nine children in Morocco. In January 2009, Nadya Suleman - dubbed Octomum - gave birth to octuplets including six boys and two girls at a hospital in California.
