The SA National Editors’ Forum says it’s appalled at the retention of a “false report” about the Tembisa 10 as a shortlisted piece of journalism for the upcoming Global Media Awards.

Published on

The infamous Tembisa 10 made headlines in June last year after editor Piet Rampedi wrote a story in the Pretoria News that claimed a South African woman had broken a world record by “giving birth to 10 babies”. The story took a shocking twist when it was later refuted by various government departments, hospitals, and social workers. The story is entered under the category ‘Best Use of Social Media’ in the International News Media Awards.
