The search continued over several kilometres of the Black River on Friday as rescuers believe the pair were swept into the river after falling into a canal in Belgravia Estate, Athlone.Cape Town fire and rescue services spokesperson Jermaine Carelse said residents told the officer in charge a man had jumped in to save the girl, and he was also swept away.
The canal runs underground for a few hundred metres, and a buoy was thrown in to indicate the most likely exit point. It emerged at Koedoe and Hickory roads, said Carelse.
