An investigation confirmed that the decuplets’ mother, Gosiame Sithole, gave birth at Steve Biko Hospital, but it’s unclear what happened to the babies and what their state of health is. Tembisa10

Independent Media demands health department come clean about Tembisa decuplets, stands by Piet Rampedi

Nurses told Sithole the babies had been taken to the intensive-care unit . A nurse told Sithole on Tuesday that there were complications with her babies. Steve Biko staff have repeatedly called Sithole since Saturday begging her to return to the hospital as part of a plot to lock her up and paint her as a mental case. A source said: “Lastly, sources at Steve Biko confirmed there were babies in the ICU named Sithole. The nursing staff have confirmed that the mother was in the lodge’s section at Steve Biko, which is only for mothers who have given birth.

On Wednesday night, Independent Media released the findings of its investigation into the decuplets matter. “This information is corroborated by several independent sources, including staff at Steve Biko Academic Hospital. Independent Media will present all such evidence and our records to law enforcement officials if requested to do so.

What the hell is going on here?

An investigation 'confirmed'?!

This registers a 9 on my couldn't give a crap meter

There were no babies. This is uncalled for, for a mother to have a set of ten babies born and there after they disappear and with no hospital or doctors and nursing staff taking credit for such a historical phenomenon.

Give it up already.. Until you have all the facts..

The babies are right there; next to the rogue unit...😀😀😀

Now this lady has been arrested and placed in a psychiatric ward....all she wants is to see her babies! A full investigation needs to be conducted here.

Your story doesn't make sense.

LOL News.

We'll wait for eNCA and other media platforms to first confirm before we believe you IOL 🙄

African system. They want to sale the babies and inject the mother mental medicine

Please stop bullshitting us with your lies. We’ve had enough.

RET people khuzani tu 😂

Hawu ddnt the CEO say thy dnt hv history of her giving birth at the hospital

'confirmed'?

So if I’m up to date on this fable. There are now 13 missing babies? 💩

Lies! Can we get neighbours to confirm if they saw pregnancy and for how long?

Guys please let's think clearly about this matter, I mean even before the babies are born the lady must have been pregnant, she must have been doing regular visits at the clinic, there they would've picked up she's caring a miracle and she would've been treated differently...

abArthurBrown FFS shut up with the fake news

She must register those babies with home affairs within 30 days of birth

Please stop with your lies😩

What hogwash is this?

Debbie its bullshit

yonwaba_mzizi did you see the babies?

Anisi qheli perhaps?

Gave birth to what though? A person, people, a pillow or a lie?

Pregnancy is a journey and not an event. Surely there must be medical records that led to the discovery of 6 babies and then the 8 babies, to what you have reported as 10 babies for you to come up with the allegations of a cover up.

ThonisileG Mxm

If she had ten babies she wouldn't b having time to think who wants to benefit or be a millionaire with her children, she would b in NNICU praying for her babies who are fighting for their lives, next to the Dr's nd nurse's who are busy caring for her babies,not an easy journey.

This sounds like more nonsense!!!

nteboitumelo I will read this story once there’s clarity and closure on this.. for now nope! It’s like chasing your own tail.

.....the denials were part of a campaign to cover up medical negligence that involved senior politicians and public servants.... What medical negligence was being covered up, exactly?

stephen_moatshe There should be a scan which proves that there were 10 babies in her womb right -- does she have any of the photos, records, etc?

Look at how Mrs Sithole is calm ebile oipoponne🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Why mara? Third wave is here🤞🏾akegane its a national story but why are we do worked up, for the what?

😀 At Steve Biko Hospital, Who's investigation?

The story is so full of unscientific nonsense that it cannot possibly be true. Obviously Mampara Piet has never even seen a baby being born otherwise he would know it was a made up pile of 💩

What is Gosiame saying?

pietrampedi I believe you

Piet lied,

Usuku no suku sizolala sidle indaba yalo mama ney'ngane eziwu 10. Abanye bathi bafuna ukuzibona, bese betholani? Kuzo zonke iy'nkinga esibhekene nazo ezweni nikhetha ukuzixaka ngey'ndaba zabantu

Yho pietrampedi ...Modimo.... Haaik.

Can you stop with this lies there's no joyous 10

Hawu😱😱😱😱You are still carrying on with this fake news.

Rest Piet rest rest

At least tell people how small those babies might be right now and that we should be praying for them instead of wanting to see them. I've seen tiny triplets before and I can't imagine how small 10 babies in one womb are going to be. So I see where Piet is coming from.

The way this story is so confusing I haven't even read all articles and disputes, I've just decided I'll keep reading headlines, no more comments, too much drama here 🚮

Let het show her ceasarian(?) scar.

When you said: 'it's unclear what happened to the babies and their state of health'... now that really scares me...

Bana ba tlabe ba tlhoge dinakaladi re ba letile yhu😒

It's her kids why the noise

'Bana bao ha re tsebe ba kae, ba a tshaba, o kare ba belegilwe le go kitima, are tsebe' ~ Julius Malema

Ay this story is now boring. Rest rest maan..🙄

JaniceTerry_

LIES!!!!

I hope all 10 babies are still alive!

IF she was really expecting 10 babies, it seems Piet could’ve saved their lives by breaking the story while she was still pregnant. The hospital didn’t even have incubators for the babies. If this had been national news earlier, the red carpet would’ve been rolled out for them.

Nonsense

Come on Piet and Then? After sikuthethelele kangaka.

What investigation? Have you published the findings?

FreeGeneraxion It looks like the hospital know where the kids are n what happened? They wont win the case anyhow not against ngwana kganya le kgotso!

Poor woman, are there any plans to get her psychological help ? She needs ongoing support not ridicule from us . This has been extremely unfortunate.

Izanazo Piet we will not leave this Publication, thuma mina minions can go jump.

Bullshit

You continue to spread lies and deceive the nation , the CEO of that hospital last week said they didn't have that incident

Now Piet Rampedi is going from a voodoo jounalist to a joke. Can't he just accept he messed up and move on ?

Wtf is going on

More lies from IOL

I forsee a commission of enquiry

The mother of no babies, Decaplets Sithole.

Yesterday you guys said the lady won’t disclose where the babies are which means she ought to know , today it’s a government cover up, hai man, which is which?

People who are accused in this article have not denied this allegations.Even the CEO of the hospital have not refuted this claims which will affect his reputation, only if he got it.

This whole issue is too complex for my own intellect... I'd rather observe, watch and learn as events unfolds. Whether it's a truth or a lie, eventuality will show at the end. I'm too dumb for this issue🤞🏿🤕

So nxaanxaa lare bana ba timetse... Tembisa10 pietrampedi piet

TembisaTen The mor I read the updates on this story the more I realise how dangerous Gov Hospitals are. My Future baby daddy must know our kids r not going to be born at a gov Hospital. So he must also have Medical Aid. The stress of the Tembisa10 is 2 much.

SAHRCommission you always talk about Xenophobic but here is a matter that need you. It look like the is human righ issue here but you are so quite. Akeneze umsebenzi wenu

🤣🤣🤣 IOL investigation = Piet and his buddies having a sit-down to figure out how to spin this.

PublicProtector can you investigate this matter please 🙏

But honestly speaking daiding ayisifuni what happened to the kids I mean nyan😒😒😒

But the mother told Piet she's keeping the babies safe, as rhe father's family are using them to scam the public of millions of Rands. I wish this story could just end now, we are fighting a pandemic 😒

CoruscaKhaya With all the nurses,cleaners,clerks,security,porter,kitchen staff. No one is saying a word,Really? Really,Please!!!!

Indaba yalezi ngane mina angisayi ngeni

Bullshit......

Wow. A real SAn story, this one. Prayers for the babies. May the government do right by them and their mother, regardless of how many there really are...

Dear Piet:

She must sue the State for her babies

Shame Piet needs psychological help urgently

Mmmm.... Yes I believe you guys. You guys rock (I'm saying this with just a hint of sarcasm)

This is what happens when you break unverified news , now you going around trying to gather info to save your tainted credibility. You were scammed, just learn from the other guy who dreamt of trillions and just lie low

She said in that video that she's not going to show us where are they mos

And you call that an investigation.

Tough for government in SA. It is also expected to be responsible for maternity and family affairs

Just stop this nonsense there no babies here.

This gets more confusing every second, pietrampedi released this video a day ago, the headline reads“Sithole says she will not be pressured by the Tsotetsi family to disclose the whereabouts of her babies…..”, doesn’t that imply she knows where they are & thier state?

Stop digging

How does the government benefit from hiding babies and arresting the mother? Defending the story like this is unacceptable. Admit this massive error, apologize and move on

When someone investigates themselves, let's start with the proof that she was pregnant with 10 babies...sonar

A big civil case is coming down against this publication. What kind of journalism is this? 🚮

Summary The story of babies is true The health department story is a cover-up because they couldn't care well for the babies.

You people just don't know when to let it go neh, ai. Your Piet made a claim, couldn't provide proof of his claim, interviewed mother who also claimed hore she will reveal the babies at her own time, now there is supposed 'cover-up', you are tiring man

Il pass and 🤣😂😂😂😂😂

IOL must be cancelled

Let this story rest😩😩

WTF?this is really not funny!

I suspect Piet will say the babies are dead.

A similar story is running currently which has damaged the economy dramatically and that is Covid-19. A virus is killing people but government doesn't have the evidence.

I will pay attention the day i hear a member of Sithole's family and the Doctor/Gyno she visted during pregnancy speak and confirm the existence of the 10 babies.

Ai GTFOH Piet

Somebody please say 'sike'.

But in this interview done by Piet the mother says she is hiding her babies from being seen by her man's family 😲

Hey hey hey I'm tired of this story that doesn't have proof yhoo sivile ngu Gosiame

Someone will be sued

WuuuuuuuuWuuuuuu!! This story is annoying and exhausting! Hai maan re lapile 🚮

Who did the investigation and does the hospital know about the 'investigation'?

Was she alone in the ward? Surely some other women (patients) would have seen her. Or have they also been made to sign none disclosure agreements?

We are over the babies story, please allow us to move on.

Piet's credibility went from zero to fuckall.

I hope the babies are safe, the drama is too to much

Nxah

Thank you IOL News. I have been following this for days and at least you confirm that pietrampedi wrote a story without verifying facts. Guys its a mistake any journalist can do. Just apologies for the flaw in your story and move on. Haai this is enough man

mithisa_motho Gauteng Health a debunk this with antenatal records. Maternity is a journey, not an event.

mithisa_motho Get this shit off my timeline

Wtf?

Please just stop. You insult us all.

Ask our acting Minister of Health!

I think we can put this story on the bench now? We can talk again once you have pictures of the 10 bambinos.

😂😂😂😂 and the plot thickens.

Just let this go guys. Once

Your story is becoming more and more boring and childish... Can't you find something else to report on now... Enough about this rubbish, u were caught lying.. there's no need to produce a soapie out of it .. nx!! U r behaving like a baby number10 🤣🤣🤣🤦

What in the Fractured is going on?

Now thát has always been the million dollar question... WHERE are the babies? We all KNEW she was pregnant, and everyone can see that she delivered! BUT where are they? In this world of child trafficking, it is neccesarry to provide the proof of existence...

It looks like Piet might have to be booked in for mental observations. I hope he is not currently planning to give birth to more kids with his pen.

Hay phezani ngoku yhuuuu😒😒

CEO of Steve biko confirmed on Tuesday that there was no such patient in the facility. Independent media must go to hell

Which is which Piet? You can't disclose even one of your sources 🤷🏾‍♂️. Can you also investigate on who coerced that mother to make the video you posted where she claimed that babies were fine and are in the safe place..

MukwaOil here it is. if you are so convinced please go open a case at the police then. This is becoming annoying now.

AmunRa_Sanza Ningamaxoki! Independent Media is trash.

🤔🤨

Guys honestly its enough now. Can we move on please

The State needs to conduct its own official investigation on this matter and whoever is found to have lied should be jailed, period. The whole saga has the potential to tarnish the government's reputation, if it has not done so already.

I'm assuming the babies were / are premature so why aren't they still in hospital?

pietrampedi rest tu.

pietrampedi SBH said that they've never admitted your lady friend. You might as well tell us who are the Dr's and midwifes who helped her,what did your investigation reveal?,do you have names?

Steve Biko as gvt is easy prey compared to Mediclinic which would likely sue.

Who is the author of the article?

Nazo MulisaThovhakal

Our hospitals are a sham, I wouldn't be surprised if they deny the babies, we shouldn't act surprised this is our national state of our hospitals. Thumamina media will help them cover up so as to make Piet look bad. These people don't give a damn about lives

Haaibo have they looted the babies too, someone wants to collect the grants, haai this government then can do the impossible

kabelodick You know why I think this story is BS. Just yesterday pietrampedi asked for the family to be given space and less than 24hrs y'all back tweeting about the same story. You guys are so damn desperate to cover up your fake news & lies. I hope you all face charges.

What 'investigation'? And what happened to the donations? Show us the money trail.

This story is too much now

This is getting weird though, in one lf the vid interviews with Piet. Gosiame indicated that she has issues with her inlaws & she will reveal where babies are, in her own time & terms, doesn't that mean she knows where the babies are?

Those who know Kwaito music will remember a song by Chiskop and Mandoza in the late 90s called “sifuna abantwana”! We want the babies!

Clinton_Mental But vele vele what's happening to this story bathong 😂

pietrampedi did interview the mother. This is what she said. Which babies are she hiding then

Too much shenanigans here GVT must not operate like Aphatheid criminals they must disclose the whereabouts of the children.

Is this for real?

Did Piet commission an independent medical examination to clarify if this lady really gave birth? Is there a scan of her pregnancy?

Who conducted the investigation? Bra Piet?

🖕

On the video isn't the woman saying she knows where the children are and no one will force her to disclose? Now pietrampedi says the whereabouts and health of the kids is unknown to them and Ste Biko Hospital knows?

Nobody in Steve Biko Academic Hospital knows anything about the birth of the babies or this woman.

I'm so tired of this Tembisa10 babies saga. Cacile ba akho nyani apha.

Where's AdvDali_Mpofu .....😂😂😂😂

In South Africa, when babies are born they are immediately registered on the sysyem & given their documents instantly - which in this thembisa10 instance the HomeAffairsSA should have all the credible knowledge. Can we please atleast verify w/ Home Affairs

Lamasela ANC they even stealing babies yooooo I give up

Every day, every day new info/story about decuplets,

CoruscaKhaya CoruscaKhaya why are you perpetuating this nonsense?

But the mother said the babies are in a place of hiding because she doesn't want her 'in laws' to have access to them? Is the woman working with Makhura to cover up medical medical negligence of her kids? You guys are really fake news, I don't wanna lie

What the hell is going on in this country?!

I wish to punch admin in the face next time their post this story imagine if I subscribed yhoo!!!

Im getting sick and tired of this

Department of Health in Gauteng please assist us your quietness about this give us an impression that this story is true. GautengProvince GautengHealth if this story is untrue litigation will assist.

Please STOP, STOP !

Ori_Debig_Beats What I got from this is that there are 10 babies and Steve Biko/the government are allegedly tryna sabotage the mother by discrediting her story, trying to paint her as a mental case so that she could lose her babies & baiting her. Yoh. My heart.😭💔

Another story with no concrete evidence. This is not a hard concept to grasp: if you provide concrete evidence supporting your claims - we will believe you. Why does this publication continue to refuse to provide proof? Now you have investigations, but again, no proof.

Fusek...You are starting to be desperate, why are trying so hard to clean Piet name?

TMarch_ Allow us to move on in peace Piet!! You lied to us and we are moving on.

Hawu Piet. 😂😂😂🤷🏿‍♀️

I don't think you guys can be trusted, the hospital must confirm that

What is being covered up?

Far fetched much🤨?

Ori_Debig_Beats We no longer interested in this kaak story 😏.

Truth must come our or just kill the story. We have too many problems as a nation already.

All lies

Why is this story revolving at the same place?

SPOILER ALERT: This story is a load of waffle.

Lies lies lies

And Piet Rampedi was the investigator ?

Dig deeper like the world is patiently waiting for those bundles of joy

Who investigated? Police? Hawks? If it's IOL...then I give up
