A South African woman who claimed to have given birth to 10 twins before it was found to be fake news, has been admitted to a psychiatric ward. Police arrested the woman at her relative’s home in the town of Rabie Ridge near Johannesburg, on the morning of Thursday 17 June.
Her detention was made following relatives to her partner, reporting her disappearance.
Police, however, denied allegations that he was arrested for committing a crime before being handed over to the Gauteng Social Development Department.
The social task force then took her to Tembisa Hospital for a mental health assessment.
The 37-year-old woman previously made headlines after claiming she gave birth to 10 twins at a hospital in the city of Pretoria, on June 7.
Her lawyer, Refiloe Mokoena, claimed the woman was forcibly detained and will apply for a court order to obtain bail.
So far, the allegations about the birth of the 10 twins have not been confirmed or denied.
