Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>TimesLIVE<\/b> – THE mother of SA\u2019s alleged \u201cThembisa 10\u2033 decuplets, Gosiame Sithole, has accused the family of the children\u2019s dad of wanting to benefit financially from public donations after the birth.<\/p>\n

Though she doesn\u2019t directly confirm that she gave birth to 10 children in videos shared by Pretoria News editor Piet Rampedi on Tuesday, Sithole regularly refers to \u201cmy babies\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Tsotetsi family released a statement on Tuesday night, saying: \u201cThere are no decuplets born between Tebogo Tsotetsi and Gosiame Sithole until proven otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Sithole, in response, said this was untrue, adding that her spirits were low as the family was not being fair to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are unfair because they are doing things and they are trying to hurt me. But I speak to Tsotetsi [the children\u2019s dad, Tebogo] now and then. I feel that they [the family] never loved me; I was just forced to be with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat they are doing shows me that they wanted to ruin something with my babies. That is why they are crying so much for them. The children are mine and no-one else\u2019s. Why are they after me?<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were looking at donations coming from people and being millionaires with my children. They were expecting to be rich; that\u2019s what they were expecting. That is why I have them where they are. No-one is going to force me to take my children \u2026 I will do it on my own time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In a series of interviews at an undisclosed location, Sithole is wearing a brown jacket with a doek on her head.<\/p>\n

Gosiamo #Sithole responds to the Tsotetsi family statement. She denies she\u2019s missing, and that did not deliver the babies. She says the was released after the Tsotetsis met some politicians. Says they are angry because they wanted to benefit financially from the public donations. pic.twitter.com\/YCNs14ezYC<\/p>\n

Sithole was adamant that she would not be forced to disclose the whereabouts of her children. She questioned whether the family was \u201csure\u201d in their comments that the decuplets did not exist.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre they sure with what they are saying? I want to know if they are sure of what they are saying. I will do what I want, and on my own time and not on their time. I won\u2019t do it for them, I will do it for my sake because they never loved me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
