Terwyl die land treur en vrae stel oor die spoorlose verdwyning van Joshlin Smith (6), \u2019n graadeentjie by Diazville Prim\u00ear, Saldanha, lyk dit op die oog af of haar ma steeds haar Moedersdag op Sondag 12 Mei geniet het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1 afloop van die hofverrigtinge in die Vredenburg-landdroshof het Kelly Smith (33) Maandag in die beskuldigdebank soos \u2019n wafferse filmster op die rooitapyt haar reguit geblaasde hare oor haar skouer laat wip elke keer as sy haar kop gedraai het om joernaliste wat vinnig \u2019n vraag of twee ingeglip het, te beantwoord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smith staan saam met haar k\u00earel, Boeta (Jacquen Rowhan) Appolis (31), sy vriend, Steveno van Rhyn (27), en \u2019n buurvrou, Renze (Lorentia) Lombard (31), tereg op aanklagte van mensehandel met die doel om uit te buit en ontvoering. Dit was die eerste keer dat al vier beskuldigdes saam in die hof verskyn het, met Lombard se saak wat in Maart by die ander gevoeg is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smith het Joshlin op Maandag 19 Februarie by die Saldanha-polisiekantoor as vermis aangemeld. Die beskuldigdes se weergawes van wanneer Joshlin weg is asook wat daardie Maandag in die huishouding aangegaan het, het voortdurend verander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speurders van die Vredenburg-kinderbeskermingseenheid (FCS) se ondersoek wat daardie nag begin het, is van bakboord na stuurboord gestuur. Nadat dit \u2019n moontlikheid geword het dat Joshlin dalk verkoop is, is die saak deur die Wes-Kaapse eenheid vir georganiseerde misdaad oorgeneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op 7 Maart het Smith, Appolis, Van Rhyn en \u2019n ander buurvrou teen wie die saak intussen laat vaar is, hul eerste verskyning in die hof gemaak. Lombard het die eerste keer op 18 Maart in die hof verskyn. Al vier die beskuldigdes het hul borgtogaansoeke laat vaar en word in die Pollsmoor-gevangenis aangehou. Sedert Joshlin se verdwyning is verskeie kledingstukke wat in die veld en in \u2019n drein by die Ho\u00ebrskool Diazville gekry is vir forensiese toetse gestuur. Reagen Allen, Wes-Kaapse minister van polisie-oorsig en gemeenskapsveiligheid, het n\u00e1 Maandag se hofverskyning bevestig die klere kan glad nie met Joshlin verbind word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allen het politici en individue se verkondiging van verkeerde inligting oor die saak as oneerbiedig en onbetaamlik beskryf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk beskou diegene wat dit doen as moreel korrup,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea, \u201caangesien hulle \u2019n jong kind se tragiese verdwyning misbruik.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die senior-staatsadvokaat Aradhana Heeramun het namens die staat die hof versoek om die saak tot 15 Julie uit te stel sodat die ondersoek kan voortgaan. Sy het bevestig dat die staat \u2019n forensiese verslag en selfoondata-uiteensetting ontvang het, wat nou ontleed moet word. Volgens Eric Ntabazalila, woordvoerder vir die nasionale vervolgingsgesag, sal daar besluit word waar die volgende hofsitting plaasvind wanneer die onderskeie uitslae ontvang is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel daar \u2019n groot teenwoordigheid van lede van die openbare-orde-polisie by die hof was, het die verwagte skare nie opgedaag nie. Daar was wel \u2019n politieke groepering wat van oorkant die hofgebou uitgesaai het.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
