The nine-month-old baby girl from Kimberley in the Northern Cape who survived a gang rape has undergone a full hysterectomy and will require further surgery to repair intestinal damage, a hospital spokesperson said on Friday.

The Louisville baby was raped, allegedly by six Upington men last weekend after she was left unattended by her 16-year-old mother.

"Psychologically we do not know what the impact of her ordeal will be, but she is smiling at all the attention she is getting from all the hospital personnel. She had undergone a full hysterectomy and she suffered extensive damage to her colon and anus as well.

"There will be several more operations to repair her intestines," the spokeswoman said.

The six men, aged between 22 and 66, appeared in the Kimberley magistrate's court on charges of rape and indecent assault on Monday.

Kimberley police are still trying to confirm the rape of a three-year-old girl, allegedly by her grandfather, police Inspector Chantel Manuel said on Friday.

The girl was also admitted to the hospital earlier this week and was expected to undergo surgery on Monday.

In the eastern Free State two men from Tweeling appeared in court on Thursday after allegedly raping their 14-month-old niece on Tuesday. The girl also underwent surgery to repair internal damage and is recovering at home.

On Friday police in the Northern Province reported that a four-year-old girl from the former Venda had died of injuries she sustained four months ago when she was raped, allegedly by her 35-year-old father, at her home at Tshirolwe.

She died in the Mankweng Hospital near Pietersburg on Wednesday, Captain Ailwei Mushavhanamadi said.

The man is to appear in court on December 28 on a charge of rape and murder.

Meanwhile, the African National Congress Women's League and the ANC Women's Caucus on Friday called on the country's courts to implement a minimum sentence which provided life sentences for men who raped children and babies knowing they (the men) were HIV-positive.

ANC caucus chairperson Lulu Xingwana said the superstition that HIV/Aids could be cured by raping babies, children and virgins was an "ignorant, unfounded and perverse belief".

"It is horrifying to learn that adult family members including fathers are amongst those alleged to have committee these atrocities ...mostly the alleged rapes are committed by fathers, brothers, sons, grandfathers and uncles whom they look to for care and protection."

She said these atrocities were linked to the abuse of alcohol and drugs, beliefs that women were sub-human and to superstitions surrounding HIV/Aids.

Police earlier this week said that in the 18 months since January 2000 almost 32 000 reports of child rape and sexual attacks on children under the age of 18 occurred countrywide.

That's hogwash, of the first order !

They weren't " uplifted ", by the Boers ? In what universe?

It was the Africaners who not only built schoold for the blacks, they educated them far etter than the school system in the USA ! No, they couldn't vote, and yes, they could did not and still do not live in the same places that whites do; however, besides being well educated, many nonwhites also held good jobs and became wealthy. Mandela , for one, came from an extremely wealthy family, and as a lawyer ( before he became a COMMIE and a murderer ) made a fortune ! Mbeki was a high level officer in the South African military and college educated.

There are not only seperate black colleges in South Africa, but blacks and coloreds went to white colleges, when apartheid was STILL the law of the land. The British treated the blacks far worse than the Boers ever did; they also have treated the Boers badly, interring Boer women and children in the wotld's FIRST concentration camps.

Are all Boers good ? NO. Were they ever ? No again; however, your bigotry is showing, as well as your abject lack of knowledge about the history of South Africa.

The Zulus kept the Xhosa as slaves, for centuries before and after whites settled there. There were constant warfare amounst all of the tribes , precolonization. With BLACK rule, they have gone back to that state.

You may not like that apartheid was set into place, but it was beginning to fall apaart BEFORE the UN and the liberals in the USA and Europe poked their collective noses into a sovereign state's business. It would have ended WITHOUT the busybodies' meddlings, and South Africa would not now be a disaster !

[nopardons]

Well, the South Africans I know, all have guns ; a do their friends . LOL

There are nominal Christians everywhere. SIGH

[Dakmar]

Pardon me for not knowing as much SA history as you might think I would, but I always thought the Boers made the Great Trek to get away from British settlers. Weren't most of the Dutch colonies basically agrarian? I am not trying to start a feud with you, I just don't appreciate being told what to think. Not by anyone.

[Dakmar]

Ooops I left out how I am curious about how the British won the Boer War and yet all these Dutch people are still in charge. Curious indeed.

[robnoel]

No question all are armed...military service was mandatory for all....and we got to keep our FN's....however gun control was introduced and embraced by many in the 70's ...it was supposed to stop the terrorists.. read Mandella supporters...from getting handguns....needless to say they had a unlimited supply of full auto AK 47's from Russia and China.....and no they did not register them...so much for gun control myth :-)

[robnoel]

South Africa gained independence from Great Britain after the passage of the Statute of Westminster by the British Parliament in December 1931 and its acceptance by South Africa in June 1934. ....

[operation clinton cleanup]

This has nothing to do with the other posts, but every black I met in the U.K. spoke better English than any average American kid. Even recent immigrants I have worked with in the U.S.A. speak better than current American college graduates.

[editor-surveyor]

I don't know what you're so hot under the collar about.

I wasn't trying to attack your family tree. Just making the point that child rape is far more prevalent in Massachusetts and Washington than it is in South Africa.

[jjbrouwer]

This thread is pertinent. I was questioning the motives of the person who posted it.

[nopardons]

The VOORTREK was made to get away from the British ans well as some waring tribes . It is a long and interesting story, which I can't possibly write here in full. If you were to see yhe VOORTREKKER MONUMENT, in Pretoria, you would think that you were looking at something from our own pioneers going westward; conastoga type wagons, circled wagons to fight off the Ndebele and other tribes, etc.

I see that someone has answered your other question, so I shan't repeat it.

[nopardons]

Yes, I do know about the mandatory military service and their keeping their guns. Also many of the women I know have guns and are great shots. You are right about the followers of Mandela. I stand corrected. : - )

[nopardons]

That's because the " gangstsa rap " / socalled " black English " types of language is endemic to no other country than the USA. Also, English , for every child in most schools , has been dumbed down and not taught well for the past 30 odd years here. That is something that I always have fits about. Vocabulary building is no longer mandated ; even in primary level grades , in public shools, and some private schools, nor is reading well written books, by dead white men. Though, to be fair, English schools are no longer what they once were either.

You even see it here on FR ! People write a nonexistant word : " ANYWAYS " , over and over and over again, and don't care. I have seen posters write : " I seen ... " . here as well, and worse.

This is the result of the US, the UN, and the "civilized" world's insistence on the destruction of apartheid in South Africa and the substitution and reinstitution of the original native murderous bloodthirsty tribal culture in its place. White South Africans should emmigrate, the US should cut off all aid from that hellhole, and the rapist filth should be tortured horribly and castrated before being put to death. These rapists are subhuman excrement not worthy of the status of an animal. Kill them.

[ashrad]

"Sickening, we should bomb this godless continent back to the stone age as well"

This way we can kill off the babies before they are raped, right?

[freekitty]

I am absolutely speechless; except to say; just shoot them. Now.....

[NewAmsterdam]

most of it Dutch slime No Sh*t! I didn't know that, but am not surprised. So much for the sanity of their liberal sexual behavior. Perverted and twisted.

Huh? I thought this was about South-Africa?

What brings you sort of people to this site? Are you all locked up in some looney-bin with once a week an hour of internet access to get rid of the evil voices in your heads? Weirdos.

[NewAmsterdam]

What Dutch tyrrany? What are you talking about? Weirdo.

[NewAmsterdam]

Well done. The level of ignorance of some posters here is just staggering. Why don't they occupy themselves with more useful pursuits such as filling matchboxes with matches?
