City of Cape Town Bolsters Search Efforts for Missing Joslin Smith

The City of Cape Town has intensified efforts to locate missing 6-year-old Joslin Smith, who disappeared over a week ago under concerning circumstances. The search, which has been ongoing with involvement from various law enforcement agencies, has now received additional support from senior policing units deployed to assist in Saldanha Bay.

Mayor Andre Truter has made a plea for more resources to aid in the search for Joslin Smith, prompting the deployment of a team of senior investigators, K9 unit search dogs, Marine Unit members, watercraft, and experienced search and rescue volunteers to comb the area.

In a recent statement, Marcellino Martin, the spokesperson for Western Cape Minister of Police Oversight and Community Safety, Reagen Allen, emphasized the importance of finding Joslin Smith safely and reuniting her with her family. The collective efforts of all involved parties aim to ensure a positive outcome in this troubling situation.

Despite previous reports of scaling down resources, the City of Cape Town has now redirected its focus towards intensifying the search for the missing Grade 1 pupil. Mayor Andre Truter has called upon provincial police to reconsider their decision and increase resources dedicated to the search effort.
