Gosiame Sithole Ten Pregnancy.

[William51]

Sithole from South Africa made up the story of her claiming she had ten babies, the most ever recorded. Why did she do it ?. Attention seeking ?.

money i presume

More likely chasing sponsorship deals - loads of moolah.

It would appear she is unfortunately not right in the head - according to the press.

[LadyCG]

Well that luna-sized bump did look a bit preposterous.

[Mamyalynne]

Perhaps more to be pitied, who knows?

[youngmafbog]

//The 37-year-old is now being held under the mental health act for observation and will be provided with support.//

Leave her alone.

[LadyCG]

I've got to say she looks a bit older than 37.

[anneasquith]

Poor woman. I hope she gets the help she obviously requires .

YMF - //Leave her alone//

Are you suggesting that if (and it's a pretty big "if") she is suffering from some kind of mental illness, she should not receive any help?

[Mamyalynne]

I don't think he was suggesting that at all.

[Mozz71]

That's why I asked Mamya, to clarify. If he meant that the press should leave her alone, then I agree 100%. The comment was just a little ambiguous.

Any relation to Ndabaninge?

[wolf63]

When I saw the initial newspaper item I doubted the story but I did feel that, if it was true, it would ruin her life and any future that the babies may have.

I watched a documentary a few years back about a multiple-birth in Canada that didn't go well.

My Mum used to show me pictures she had kept of the Dionne girls when I was just a small child. In many ways a sad story.

advertising her new line in beach balls?

Not much point in seeking sponsorship for the babies if she hasn't got any.
