Joslin Smith case postponed to July
The case against the four accused in the Joslin Smith disappearance case has been postponed to July.
The four briefly appeared before the Vredenburg Magistrate's Court on Monday morning.
They include the little girl’s mother, Kelly Smith, and her boyfriend, Jacquen Appollis.
They face charges of trafficking in persons with the purpose of exploitation and kidnapping.
Smith reported six-year-old Joslin’s disappearance from their home in Saldanha Bay in February, telling police she left the child in the care of Appollis when she went to work.
The hearing was postponed for the continuation of investigations.

"You will be in custody until then, and hopefully, on the next date, the investigation will be completed.”
