A 6-week-old South African baby girl who was raped by her uncle two weeks ago is still
recovering after the incident.

According to local media reports, the girl’s mother had put the baby to bed and was watching television with her mother in the next room when the child was abducted. The grandmother heard the infant’s cries coming
from a shack in the family’s backyard. When she forced open the door, her 24-year-old son pushed her out of the way and ran out –zipping up his pants.
Doctors who treated the child say she was so
traumatized they were unable to examine her until she was put under anaesthetic. According to Independent Online reports: Gynecologist Dr Jan van Soest, part of a seven-person team that operated for two hours to save the baby, said in an interview on Friday that although it was very soon after the surgery, they expected the child would recover physically, and would one day be able to bear children of her own.
The baby’s 24-year-old uncle appeared in the Kimberley Magistrate’s Court on Thursday on charges of rape and attempted murder.
Although he was warned that the charges
against him were very serious, the young man
turned down the help of legal aid. “I am sharp. I will defend myself,” he said when magistrate Kubashnie Padayachee warned him of the seriousness of the charges.
He didn’t reply to any of her further questions. Padayachee ruled that the man, who may not
be named as he is related to the victim, will
remain behind bars until his next appearance
on December 12, when she will consider a
formal application for bail. The baby had sustained extensive trauma to the inside and outside of her genitals, as well as bruising and severe tearing, but there was no internal abdominal trauma.
Her perineum was also torn and needed to be
built back up. “Although she was on heavy pain medication after the surgery, she is only receiving oral medication now and is stable. She is drinking from her mother and urinating normally. We are happy with her progress so far,” Van Soest said. He said the attack was the worst he had ever seen involving such a young child. “We tried to repair the damage so that her anatomy is back to normal, but we will only know in six months time how successful the operation was. The suspect, it emerged, had himself been discharged from hospital just hours before the rape of the infant.
According to a family member, he had
threatened patrons at a jazz club with a knife
about two weeks earlier. He resisted arrest
and allegedly stabbed a police officer, before
being shot twice. We’re sad to report that the child suffered another setback last week and was transferred to a hospital in Bloemfontein on Tuesday after sutures used to repair tissue damage were torn. It is also believed that the infant was scheduled to undergo an operation on Wednesday night to attach a colostomy bag to her colon for the disposal of fecal matter
Our prayers are with this baby!
