Allen said he will provide an update on the search for the little girl on Friday after the city of Cape Town dispatched various search and rescue units to Saldanha Bay on Thursday.
"Our collective aim is to ensure that Joslin is found unharmed and safely returned home. I am deeply alarmed at the manner in which this tragic matter has been politicised. Individuals and groups should refrain from this practice."
