Tembisa 10
The Tembisa 10 was a South African journalistic hoax that falsely claimed that a 37-year-old Gauteng woman, Gosiame Thamara Sithole, had given birth to ten babies in a single pregnancy. The story was published by Pretoria News on 8 June 2021 and quickly gained widespread attention, with claims that the births had set a new Guinness World Record. However, official investigations later confirmed that the decuplets never existed. The article was subsequently declared a 'hoax'.
