37-year-old Gosiame Thamara Sithole raised many eyebrows when she gave birth to her decuplets at a hospital in Pretoria on Monday night, breaking a world record held by Malian Halima Ciss\u00e9, who gave birth to nine children in Morocco last month.<\/p>\n
Doctors predicted she will give birth to 8 babies but her 7 boys and 3 girls has got us all surprise as it is unheard of.<\/p>\n
In an exclusive interview with the Pretoria News at her family residence in Tembisa, Ekurhuleni, the retail store manager said she won\u2019t be able to return to work due to the situation she finds herself in at present.<\/p>\n
Sithole who was already a mother of twins said she has exhausted all her life savings after taking a leave of absence from work with salary when she was only 2 months pregnant.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cI was sick. I left my job early and decided to stay at home because I couldn\u2019t cope. I realised I was battling and decided to quit earlier than expected because my body couldn\u2019t take it anymore. I decided to stay at home until I started feeling better,\u201d Sithole said.<\/p>\n
Working is no longer an option for Sithole, who said her current salary won\u2019t be able to cover the cost of helpers she will need to take care of her babies. She appealed to the general public to help her meet her immediate needs such as clothes, baby formula, diapers and accommodation for the decuplets.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cI appeal to the public to help me in whatever way they can. Anybody who has anything I would appreciate it. I am relying on my mother-in-law now. She is old, lives on her old age pension and has grandchildren. I will also need people who can volunteer to help me raise the children \u2013 helpers,\u201d Sithole added.<\/p>\n
Her unemployed husband said her wife gave birth to the kids both naturally and by caesarean section. He added that his wife has been in the hospital for 29 weeks now and still don\u2019t know when she will come home.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s seven boys and three girls. She was seven months and seven days pregnant. I am happy. I am emotional. I can\u2019t talk much. Let\u2019s talk again in the morning please,\u201d Tsotetsi said.<\/p>\n
