Two Gauteng mothers have discovered that their three-year-old daughters were switched at birth. 
 
Now one wants her daughter back while the other one wants to keep the daughter she has loved as her own for almost four years.
 
The two girls were born in Boksburg Hospital on the same day in 2010. 
 
The mistake was discovered recently when one of the fathers requested a paternity test after the child's mother sued him for maintenance. 
 
Both parents' blood tests did not match the child's.
 
The latest on the baby swap case is that the High Court has ordered a probe into the issue.
 
The High Court in Pretoria has ordered an investigation into how best to deal with the matter.
 
The Centre for Child Law has been tasked with investigating the facts and to make a decision on what is in the best interests of the children.
 
It’s not yet clear how the children were allegedly swapped.
