South African Sextuplets Rosenkowitz
Born to Susan Wilson at Mowbray Maternity Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa the sextuplets were the first sextuplets to survive infancy.
They were born about four weeks early at 34 weeks, with the individual birth weights ranging from 1.1 to 2kg's, totalling 11kgs for all six.
Mother Susan Wilson was British, emigrated to South Africa in 1967. Colin and Susan got divorced in 1989 and apparently fell with her kids soccer coach (http://www.quintland.com/rosenkowitz/). Colin got custody- quoting him from the Sunday times interview 2004 "It was very tough. I don't know how I did it. I used to pray 10 times a day; it was a nightmare."
"When we heard the news, my wife fainted and I got a runny stomach," he said. "When we told our maid, she ran away."
"David works in IT and Jason has an IT career in London. Nicky, a make-up artist, lives in New York, while Liz and Emma both live in London. Liz works in the fashion industry and Emma is a hairstylist and make-up artist.
Grant, a fitness trainer who specialises in working with elderly people, pregnant women, diabetics and heart patients, is based in Cape Town." according to Wikipedia and the Sunday times

Wow! Respect people. Seeing this, I can't help but wonder how they were able to entertain the kids, invest time in them and survive. It seems they have gone off the public radar lately as there is very little info available on their 40th birthday and more. Let me hear your thoughts- what do you remember about them?
