A 54-year-old man accused of raping an infant appeared in the Parow Regional Court on Thursday, said the National Prosecuting Authority in the Western Cape.
The case was postponed at the request of the defence, said spokesman Eric Ntabazalila.
The man will appear in court again on September 28.
The four-month-old baby was left in the man's care by its mother on the night of October 19, while she went out.
