Hy het 600 km ver van Concordia naby Springbok gereis om na Joshlin te kom help soek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSy is baie geheg aan my,\u201d het hy vertel, en swaar gesluk toe hy oor haar vriendelikheid en liefdevolheid gesels het. Joshlin het glo in die drie maande wat hy tydelik terug Concordia toe is om sy sieklike ouma by te staan, gereeld kom vra waar haar pa is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daar was geen kontak tussen hulle sedert November verlede jaar nie, omdat Kelly Smith (33), Joshlin se ma, glo nie vir hom \u2019n selfoonnommer wou gee nie. Hulle was agt jaar in \u2019n verhouding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jos\u00e9 was nooit gemaklik daarmee dat Joshlin en haar driejarige sussie saam met Kelly by haar k\u00earel, Jacquin \u201cBoeta\u201d Appollis, bly nie. \u201cHulle wou nooit teruggaan huis toe as hulle hier by ons gekuier het nie, want hulle was bang vir hom.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jos\u00e9 bly by sy ma, Loretta Yon, in Diazville. Hy was altyd die een wat die kinders in die oggende skool toe geneem en in die middae gaan haal het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEk wil haar net terugh\u00ea,\u201d s\u00ea di\u00e9 pa, wat self sukkel met epileptiese aanvalle. Hy het selfs ten aanskoue van ander mense in die soekgeselskap inmekaargesak met \u2019n epileptiese aanval ten tyde van een van die vele soektogte na Joshlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die Wes-Kaapse polisie het gister (Woensdag 6 Maart) bevestig inhegtenisnemings in die ondersoek na Joshlin se verdwyning 17 dae gelede is op hande. Dit volg nadat van die vier aangehoudenes in die saak gister bekentenisse afgel\u00ea het wat uiteindelik na konkrete leidrade gelei het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volgens brig. Novela Potelwa, kommunikasiehoof van die Wes-Kaap-polisie, hoop die polisie dat die ondervragings tot uitsluitsel in di\u00e9 saak sal lei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joshlin, \u2019n graadeentjie by Diazville Prim\u00ear, se verdwyning op Maandag 19 Februarie, het die hele land aangegryp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-selferkende-tikslaaf\">Selferkende tikslaaf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kapt. Tania Helfrich, \u2019n Weskus-polisiewoordvoerder, het ten tyde van die verdwyning ges\u00ea Kelly (33), \u2019n selferkende tikslaaf, het haar kind op Maandagaand 19 Februarie by die Saldanha-polisiekantoor as vermis aangemeld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joshlin was nie di\u00e9 dag by Diazville Prim\u00ear waar sy \u2019n leerder is nie, en Kelly se weergawes hoe di\u00e9 dag verloop het, verskil. Dit blyk nou dat haar twee dogtertjies albei di\u00e9 dag by Boeta en van sy vriende en familielede, agtergebly het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Di\u00e9 ma se houding oor die aangeleentheid het die mense van Diazville, waar Kelly en haar drie kinders tot twee jaar gelede nog gewoon het, en Middelpos, waar die gesin nou in \u2019n plakkershut bly, verskriklik ontstig. Die gemeenskap het gesoek, gehuil en hul frustrasies en vrese te kenne gegee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelly en Boeta moes selfs \u2019n paar keer vir hul eie veiligheid uit Middelpos verwyder word omdat gemeenskapslede hulle wou leed aandoen oor wat die mense as die paartjie se weerhouding van inligting beskou het. Gemeenskapslede het deurentyd volgehou dat hulle by Joshlin se verdwyning betrokke is, en mense het van die begin af ges\u00ea sy is verkoop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gemeenskapslede het teen druktyd steeds nie heeltemal hoop opgegee dat Joshlin tog maar iewers aangehou word nie. \u201cOns was orals,\u201d het Leya Neethling (65), voorsitter van die Diazville-buurtwag, vertel. Hulle het deurentyd \u2013 van Dinsdag 20 Februarie af \u2013 nie ophou soek nie: in groot groepe saam met die polisie en in kleiner groepies op hul eie. Teen druktyd het hulle weer in die bosse oorkant die Tabakbaai-vakansieoord gesoek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die soektog na Joshlin het die Diazville en Middelpos-gemeenskappe bymekaargebring, en saam met individue, nie-re\u00adge\u00ad\u00adrings\u00adorganisasies, gemeenskaps\u00adleiers, polisiebeamptes, buurtwagte en verteenwoordigers uit verskillende sfere van die regering is onverpoosd \u2013 selfs in die nag \u2013 na Joshlin gesoek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-forensiese-toetse\">Forensiese toetse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Neethling en Bettie Bester het verduidelik die gebied waar bebloede klere Sondagmiddag gekry is, is aan die kant van die buurt waar een van die aangehoudenes bly. Die polisie het bevestig hulle wag nog op die uitslag van die forensiese toetse wat op die bebloede klere gedoen is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die gemeenskap en plaaslike polisie se hande is verlede week versterk met \u2019n multi-dissiplin\u00eare span wat die Stad Kaapstad beskikbaar gestel het. Hierna het die soektog, wat toe al langer as \u2019n week aan die gang was, weer momentum gekry. Nog polisie-eenhede van die Kaap het hulle ook by die gesamentlike operasionele bevelsentrum aangesluit, wat vanuit die veeldoelige sentrum in White City en die Diazville-gemeenskapsentrum bestuur word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_9fb520ea\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/11217\/25b8b9ba77a9471ba4274ccdd7004ab3.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/weslander\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/5b2f64ac0db04a81a21db6a90155df22.jpg\" title=\"Soos leidrade ontvou word die soekgeselskap keer op keer teruggelei na die oorspronklike gebied naby die plakkershut waar klein Joshlin gewoon het,waar die soektog van stapel gestuur is.Foto: \"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Soos leidrade ontvou word die soekgeselskap keer op keer teruggelei na die oorspronklike gebied naby die plakkershut waar klein Joshlin gewoon het,waar die soektog van stapel gestuur is.Foto: <\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Helfrich het verlede week benadruk die polisieondersoek is erg belemmer deur vals \u201cleidrade\u201d, bespiegelinge en mense wat eie reg gebruik. \u201cOp die ou einde het dit net polisiebronne \u00e9n tyd gemors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volgens Potelwa was speurders teen druktyd steeds besig om vier aangehoudenes \u2013 twee mans en twee vroue tussen 26 en 34 jaar \u2013 te ondervra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volgens Lee-Ann Davids-Hartzenberg, hoof van Diazville Prim\u00ear, vra Joshlin se klasmaats gereeld na haar en wil weet wanneer sy terugkom.
