NotInMyName SA's secretary General Themba Masango says the victim had to undergo surgery.
"We have been following the case very closely, the child had to go through surgery in her womb and she has come out okay. However, the emotional and physical scars of what the perpetrator has done remain."
The case has been postponed to March 5 for further investigations.
Masango says they are calling on the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to speed up the case.
