Cape Town - Thousands of South African men, horrified by an apparent surge in the rape of baby girls, joined women and children in a protest march in Cape Town yesterday. The nation was still reeling from the alleged rape of a nine-month-old girl by six men earlier this month when it was shocked by reports this weekend of the rape of another eight-month-old.
About 3,000 men marched through a Cape Town suburb to join an estimated 1,000 women at a rally led by Social Development Minister Zola Skweyiya and Anglican Archbishop Njongonkulu Ndungane.
The eight-month baby was attacked on Friday night after she was allegedly abducted from her parent's home. She was found lying by the roadside by a passer-by who took her to police.
