Joshlin Smith Kidnapping Case Continues

The second week in the trial of seven-year-old Joshlin Smith continues in the Western Cape Circuit High Court sitting at Saldanha Bay on the Cape West Coast.

The first week saw several police officers testify about Smiths disappearance in February last year, with the state alleging that she was kidnapped and trafficked.

The accused include her mother, Kelly Smith, her boyfriend, Jacquen Appollis and Steveno van Rhyn.

Testimonies revealed contradictions in Kelly Smiths statements about the day the girl went missing, raising suspicions about her involvement.

The trial has captured public attention, with many residents of Saldanha hoping for justice and clarity on the case.
