Gosiame Thamara Sithole from the Tembisa township near Johannesburg gave birth to the babies on Monday, according to the Pretoria News newspaper which quoted the parents. The babies — seven boys and three girls — have not made a public appearance or been captured on camera, although they were born prematurely, the newspaper reported. The father, Teboho Tsotetsi, told the paper his wife had given birth in a hospital in the capital Pretoria. A Malian woman gave birth to nine babies only last month in Morocco, in what was hailed as the world's first case of nonuplets.
