South African woman gives birth to 10 babies in Pretoria - reports
A South African woman has reportedly given birth to 10 babies in what would be a new world record.
Gosiame Thamara Sithole's husband says they were astonished by decuplets after scans only showed eight in the womb.
"It's seven boys and three girls. I am happy. I am emotional. I can't talk much," her husband Teboho Tsotetsi told Pretoria News after the birth.
One South African official confirmed the births to the BBC, however another said they were yet to see the babies.
