Four suspects connected to the almost two-week-old disappearance of six-year-old Joslin Smith will not appear in court until March 13 at the Vredenburg Magistrate’s Court on the Cape West Coast.
Jacquen Rowhan Appollis, Steveno Dumaizio van Rhyn, Racquel Chantel Smith, and Phumza Sigaqa are the four accused charged with human trafficking for the purposes of kidnapping and exploitation.
Information about bail has caused the case to be postponed.
As leaders were escorted past the throng and into the courtyard, demonstrators gathered outside the court, chanting her name.
A few of them were singing “senzeni na” (what have we done) while holding posters featuring her face.
On February 19, Joslin Smith vanished from her mother’s caretaker’s custody.
