Johannesburg - A man accused of raping his 10-month-old
niece appeared in the Orkney Magistrate's Court on Friday, North West police
said.
The 43-year-old man would be back in court on Monday for
a bail application.
He remained in custody, police spokesperson Setlhako
said.
He was arrested last week Wednesday for allegedly raping
the infant after taking her for a walk, when the child was left with her cousin
on Tuesday.
When the cousin changed the infant's nappy she saw marks
on her private parts, and thought she had nappy rash.
That night, the child's mother also saw the marks while
bathing her.
She took the baby girl to a clinic, where the rape was
confirmed.
The matter was reported to the police and they arrested
the child's uncle.
