The mother of Maun's triplets is looking after her aunt's set of triplets as well, The Ngami Times has discovered.
The chances of a second set of triplets being born into the same family is said to be rare.
Relatives of Godiramang Semausu, a 36-year-old from Chanoga, told of her decision to take care of the other three after a maternal aunt gave birth to them at Gweta. They, too, are alive and well. The latest triplets - whose father is Monnakgotla Gabafediwe - were born at Maun General Hospital amid great excitement from doctors and nursing staff. They were the first to be born at the hospital in the past four years and are said by hospital staff to be "fine". The trio has been named. Neo and Mpho are the boys and Kefilwe is the daughter. Their mother has been visited at the hospital by family and many well-wishers since The Ngami Times broke the story last week about their arrival. It is not yet known when Semausu will be able to go home with her babies.
Unemployed Gabafediwe is also the father of three of her other six children. Another three were from another father, she said this week, and Gabafediwe has been looking after all six - soon to be nine.
