According to Dr Ramathuba's post on Twitter, small clinics are not equipped to handle multiple births, but Mphaphuli took the curve ball in stride and safely delivered all the babies.

The health MEC reported that both the babies and the mother are doing well and have been transferred to Donald Fraser Hospital, where the smallest baby was treated for low birth weight and mild respiratory distress.

With the four new bundles of joy, the total of children the mother has is now 10. Dr Ramathuba said the mother now has the daunting task of caring for all her children, a task with which she will require help.
