Joshlin Smiths Kidnapping Trial Resumes With Witness Testimony

The Joshlin Smith kidnapping and human trafficking trial is expected to resume in the Western Cape High Court sitting in Saldanha on the Cape West Coast today.

Shocking testimony emerged last week, including that the childs mother allegedly sold her for R20 000.

Kelly Smith, her boyfriend, Jacquen Boeta Appollis and Steveno van Rhyn, are on trial.

The seven-year-old disappeared from the Middlepos informal settlement on February 19, last year.

Dropping a bombshell in court on Friday, a former accused who turned state witness, Lourentia Lombaard, testified that a day before the little girl went missing, Kelly Smith told her she had sold her to a sangoma for R20 000.
