Authorities continue to search for a seven-year-old girl from Saldanha Bay (on the Cape West Coast) who went missing almost a week ago. Joslin Smith’s mother reported her missing after returning from work and couldn’t find the little girl.
Police say the child was left in the care of the mother’s boyfriend.
An extensive search was launched including the use of a police helicopter.
The search for the missing seven-year-old girl from Saldanha Bay continues as authorities and the community work tirelessly to locate her. Despite nearly a week passing since her disappearance, efforts to find her have not waned, and the search remains ongoing.
Authorities are likely employing various resources, including search teams, K-9 units, drones, and volunteers, to cover as much ground as possible and comb through areas where she may potentially be located. Additionally, efforts to gather information from witnesses, review surveillance footage, and coordinate with neighboring communities are likely underway to aid in the search efforts.
