Still, there¹s no sign of one month old baby Siwaphiwe Mbambo.

The infant and her mother and older brother were caught up in an apparent hijacking ordeal near a shopping centre yesterday.

The suspects forced the mom and older boy out of her White Yaris, but made off with the baby still inside the car.

The infant¹s father, Christopher, has now made a public appeal for his daughter¹s safe return.

He says his entire family is distraught and cannot move on without little Siwaphiwe. 

Mbambo says the baby¹s mother,Sibongile, parked the car to feed her crying infant - and was overpowered and forced out of her vehicle.

He says she asked for her baby, but was only able to assist her older child out of the vehicle, before the men sped off.

Mbambo has pleaded with those who took his child to have a conscience, and return her.

"The baby is still being breastfed, she is not eating anywhere as we speak. Please help us by bringing the baby back from those who took her. Whoever you are, whether you found the baby or know those who stole the car, because we don't know who it is. That is our plea, so that our family can be at ease because we can't eat or sleep. That's it. That is what we are asking for", Mbambo said.

Earlier today, police searched the Montclair area again.
