The department of health in Gauteng on Tuesday said it had received a preliminary report into an incident in which a two-year-old child was allegedly raped at a hospital last month.
The contents of the report will not be made public as the victim is a minor, according to the department. Kekana said the hospital had been in constant contact with the child’s family and a meeting organised by community members between the two parties had been scheduled for Tuesday.
