Medical practitioners and social workers also conducted themselves unprofessionally subjecting Sithole to inhumane treatment.

The briefing was addressed by medical practitioner Dr Mpho Pooe, who examined Sithole, Independent Media Executive Chairman Dr Iqbal Surve, whose company hired private investigators to probe the issue, as well as Human Rights Lawyer advocate Michael Donen SC who conducted an independent inquiry into the decuplets matter.

She developed suspicion that either someone had hacked the system or a government employee might have interfered with Sithole’s data as all the information about her could not be located. “We found that they were using several IDs but even using those IDs, they don’t exist on the system. Even if I can put my name as Mpho Pooe in the system, it is supposed to show me Mphos … and we will eliminate them by dates of birth. She does not exist on the system … Is she a ghost in South Africa?” she said.

“We are supposed to be saving lives, we are supposed to be happy when life is safe and when life is brought to earth. We are supposed to be rejoicing when we see a woman having 10 babies, we are supposed to be supporting her, but what have we done to this woman? We have destroyed her intentionally … We have incarcerated her at a psychiatric institution and labelled her,” said Pooe.

The admission forms had been filled in by a social worker without the involvement of and permission from Sithole’s family. Pooe found it strange that the social worker in question reached a conclusion that Sithole was delusional. "The provincial government cannot stand by while serious allegations are made against nurses, doctors, hospital management and health officials. These are women and men of integrity, who are working selflessly and honestly every day to save lives and, at times, even risking their own lives," said the department in a statement.

A very low point for SA! Something needs to be done.

One story after another.

I wish you guys would let this thing go

FreeGura576 I cannot imagine pain that this mother is going through. The actual wonder of what they could be doing with her babies sickens me deep inside my stomach 😭😭😭

Enough already!

Why are white people so touchy about this matter? It doesn't concern you, a Poor Black Mother wants to be reunited with her children.

Not quite what the report says, apparently

Oh ffs iol just stop the fake news. Soon everyone will have forgotten.

Lol

Why’ve you never spoken about 8 missing incubators

Okay. Let me get this straight. 8 survived and were trafficked? Presumably in their incubators? Where are the remains of the 2 deceased? Where are the mother’s scans? Where are the nurses and doctors who delivered the babies?

Ohhhhh IOL. Just let it go now. The fact that u claim they were trafficked is preposterous. What? All surviving PREMATURE babies were taken... in their incubators? Oh do me a favour.

Rest, IOL, rest! Rest, oom Piet, rest😂😂. Let it go already!

Lol

Why the hell would a syndicate including health professionals, politicians, journalists etc all be in on the trafficking of 10 babies who were in the public eye? When their are literally 100s of abandon babies each month who don’t even make the back page. Make it make sense?

Surely she must have an ultra sound scan at home. Can she show us only that.
