A 5-year-old
girl is HIV positive after she contracted the virus after being raped by her
mother’s 72-year-old boyfriend.
According to
the report, the girl, her sister and their friend were raped over a period of
eight months by the man known as “Mdala” in an informal settlement in Mitchells
Plain.
The sister
and friend both tested negative for HIV.
The girl’s
father told the publication the mother was aware of the rapes.
“She knew
what was going on and she allowed it, she told both my little girls to keep the
matter quiet and never tell anyone,” he said. “Her boyfriend has now infected
my child with a deadly disease and the doctors say she can never have children
because her womb was so badly damaged.”
