BABY has HYSTERECTOMY after GANG RAPE [Child Rape Common]

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.

This is the reasons AIDS is epidemic in Africa. It is NOT because the west is with holding money and drugs. It is because of BEHAVIOR.

[Slyfox]

They have to take out rape insurance for their children in South Africa. That is, the ones who can afford the premiums.

[ARA]

pull this... sad and tragic... siick

[RnMomof7]

You name says it all social......these men all deserve the death penality..if it was my baby the jury would already have spoken ...they would be burning in hell as I write!

[aomagrat]

Absolutely disgusting.

[AppyPappy]

Southern Africa is on its way to becoming a vast cemetery.

[WhiteGuy]

Scrape'em off

animals

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

[Bikers4Bush]

Put all of those men to death, slowly. If they need a volunteer to administer the sentence they can call me.

[HELLRAISER II]

If that were my child they would all die a long miserable prolonged death. These people are sick SOB's & deserve no less than this.

[I_Publius]

As sick as this article makes me feel, I think more people need to know about these acts. Once everyone understands what is going on in Africa, maybe then we can actually work on solving the problems there. (Although it will probably not be in our lifetimes.)

[seams2me]

There is a special place in Hell waiting for the perpetrators of this vile act.

Pray for this little girl, she needs all our prayers if she is to live and survive in that wretched situation.

[EggsAckley]

Let's see, the "natives" of South Africa demanded to be self governed.
What a grand experiment THAT turned out to be! They're behavior is no better
than a band of chimpanzees, worse actually. Maybe it's time some grownups
went back in there to clean up the mess. It's obvious they aren't intelligent
enough to govern themselves.

This article is VERY distressing. *sigh*

[EggsAckley]

pull this... sad and tragic... siick

PULL THIS??? Are you crazy?? Just go put you head in the sand,
but let the rest of us know what is going on in the real world.

[4CJ]

Absolutely disgusting and pathetic. The only thing they deserve is a quick death to end their putrid lives.

[skeeter]

APHARTHEID is dead. Little else matters.

[kenziekiss]

An eye for an eye, they always say...I say put the dudes in the Castro district for the Halloween parade.

[SocialMeltdown]

I agree.

I posted this because people need to know the truth about AIDS in Africa.

The left and the media attack the west for not giving Africa money to combat AIDS. They even say that AIDS in Africa spread as it did because President Reagan didn't say the word AIDS until the end of his adminstration.

No problem can be solved until we speak about the facts.

The roots of AIDS in Africa are found in the BEHAVIOR of Africans and not the failures of the west.

[junta]

Open our borders to these "oppressed" and in no time they will become part of our "wonderful diversity."

[ThomasMore]

Cut their pathetic peckers off, and then forced HARD labor, solitary confinement for life. Death is too merciful for these kinds. This is EVIL in its worst form. I've got a 6 month old grandaughter who is a perfect angel. The visions in my head could lead a saint to violence.

[Norb2569]

Man, disgusting as this is, I sure wish that somehow this could make it to a major media outlet, even a cable news station.

I wonder if there is anyway O'Reilly would feature this.

Can someone get this to FOXNEWS channel?

[ThomasMore]

Open our borders to these "oppressed"

Time to close the borders and RESTRICT visas.

[Teacher317]

Were they Muslims?

You might think that was a hateful and prejudiced comment, but you'd be wrong. There are growing epidemics of gang-rapes of young girls in Australia (over 70 cases already), Sweden, Denmark, and France... all by Muslims, usually 10-15 men, and usually 13-18 year old girls. (Allah apparently finds this acceptable, as they are 'unclean', and need to be taught to convert.)

The age here is even sicker, of course, but the question is still a valid one... is South Africa the next victim of Muslim rape gangs? Does anyone have the info on this?

Next provocative thought: Does the Islamic faith have an age limit on 'infidels' that are rape-worthy?

[Cu Roi]

These SOBs should be ``necklaced'', but the ANC seems more concerned with bitching about the price of AZT.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I think I'm gonna be sick. The perps will have a special place in hell waiting for them, for sure!

[diplomatic_immunity]

For the perpetrators I have two words: chemical castration. Death by torture would be too humane for these six men, they should be burned at the stake, tomorrow!

[ThinkNot]

APHARTHEID is dead. Nothing else matters.

[Dakmar]

Absolutely barbaric. I am ashamed that any human being could act like this.

[Ditto]

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

Sounds like they're already there.

[Constitution Day]

Absolutely disgusted bump.

[EggsAckley]

Isn't this part of Africa Muslim? I can't recall at the moment. But the statement
about women being considered sub-human sure sounds familiar. After reading this,
and another article about a Nigerian woman (who became pregnant after a rape)
being sentenced to death by stoning, I'm starting to think that we are
facing yet another location to fight the war on terrorism.

[tonycavanagh]

What a horrible sick cant say anything else these men what ever punishment they get it wont be enough, thank God that when they die there will be a punishment to match this crime.

[Travis McGee]

bttt

[meandog]

This has to be the sickest post I've ever read in the four years I've been addicted to Free Republic. The lingering question I have is WHY? Because, my understanding of African history and tribal socio-sexual trends, is that infants are venerated and acts such as these among the Zulus and Inkottas would result in torturous slow death for the perpetrators!

[proud American in Canada]

No, we can't pull this, ARA. People need to find out about it. Ignorance is not bliss, it leads to the spread of evil. I had no idea this was going on. It is, can't even describe the word, more than sickening.

[Giddyupgo]

No quick death! Cut these bastards balls off, and let them bleed to death.

[technochick99]

I am stunned....

[biblewonk]

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

They are already there. In the OT when God speaks of pagan lands and how horribly they behaved, this is what He was talking about. I suspect this kind of behavior is very common in any native or tribal society but your history books just wanted to paint beautiful pictures of utopian societies. Kinda like Dances With Wolves.

[Happygal]

OH MY GOD ~holdin' me head in my hands~ That is sooooooooo horrible.

[Dakmar]

These were not Dutch people and you are a f***ing a**hole. Go back home to DU or whatever rock you crawled out from under. We don't need your slime trail here.

[LeeMcCoy]

Simply take these males to the town square (if there is one) and shoot them. Let the buzzards, etc. take care of the details.

[tonycavanagh]

re : Isn't this part of Africa Muslim

No this is South Africa, Islam is more prevalent in North Africa amongst the African nations nearer to the Arabic world.

Although there is a Muslim community it is the Asian community who don’t mix with the Blacks.

[jeremiah]

Re-colonize, that is the answer.

[jackbill]

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".

The implication here is that most, if not all of these perpetrators were HIV positive. Thus, if any of these poor children survive, they may end up with AIDs. Is there any punishment that is not warranted?

[biblewonk]

I read in a recent post that the Taliban does the same thing to the little boys in their country.

[ThomasMore]

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.

[GretchenEE]

I talked at length with a man from South Africa who was working in the US, hoping to bring his family and girlfriend here, but his visa was not extended. He told me that we cannot imagine what the women go through in his country, the daily fear of rape and murder. He said there is nowhere they are safe.

He told me about his farming parents and how they feared for their lives on a daily basis -- the farm, by its nature, can't have neighbors close at hand, and they are easy targets for robbers and thieves. Hard to sleep at night, difficult to work during the day. He said all of these problems are exacerbated by the family being not white.

The country needs MUCH prayer and a nation of changed hearts.

[My Favorite Headache]

I literally just got sick reading this.
