"Fortunately, earlier this morning, we got reports that the child has been dumped outside our offices in Greytown. She appeared to be fine. However, she was taken to hospital for medical examination."
Mbele says the social worker is also receiving support.
"If you are involved in such a situation, you do get some disturbances. The social worker offered social support to help her deal with the situation."
Police are working to track down the car.
