The incidence of child rape in South Africa has doubled each year since 1999. The latest victims of the rape holocaust are babies - stolen, gang-raped, and often left for dead.

Correspondent joins the hunt for Baby Tsepang's rapist after none of the six men originally arrested are identified by DNA tests, and follows the story of a hospital doctor dismissed after giving one shocked and torn baby girl an anti-AIDS drug.
