A 37-year-old mother, Mariam Nabatanzi who was married off early and first gave birth aged 13 has given birth to an astonishing 38 children.
County Councillor Samari Musenero said Mariam from Kabimbiri village, about 50 kilometres north-east of the capital Kampala, had all the children with the same man.
He added that the children were between four months and 23 years old.
“The woman is struggling to support her offspring because she receives no financial assistance from the father of the children,” the politician said.
He explained that politicians from the district had mobilised government funds to provide Nabatanzi with maize seeds to plant.
Villagers have given the mother, Mariam Nabatanzi Babirye, the nickname of Nalongo Muzaala Bana, which means “the twin mother who produces quadruplets.”
In what must be some sort of record, Mariam has six sets of twins, four sets of triplets, three sets of quadruplets and two single births.
