Both the national and Gauteng governments said they were unable to find any records of the births, while Ekurhuleni mayor Mzwandile Masina confirmed that his office had met with the family,Here are five must-read stories on the “Thembisa 10”: that Sithole, 37, gave birth to the children at a Pretoria hospital on Monday night. The name of the hospital was withheld.

The publication said it had interviewed the couple at their family home in Thembisa in May, but delayed the publication of the interview “at the request of the couple for safety and cultural reasons”. However, after the news caught the nation's attention, the government alleged it was unable to verify the births at any of its facilities.

“The posts attribute the birth of the babies to Gosiame Thamara Sithole from Gauteng. 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,” said the director-general of government communications, Phumla Williams.

POLL | Is it right to ask for pictures of the 'Thembisa 10'?Before official confirmation and the statement from the family, scores who were fascinated by the births said they wanted to see pictures of the decuplets. I don’t think anyone is asking for a close up on the babies. I would have loved the essence of them.. a pic taken from a far nje, would have done the trick. But we will respect the family’s wishes. White mainstream media must learn to respect our cultures as black people. This is really disgusting that everything must be on the mainstream media. It's really not necessary. This is a very vague and fishy story. Show us those babies!
