Joslin Smith's mom, 3 others appear in court
Joslin Smith's mother lined up in court on Thursday morning alongside three others in connection with her daughter's disappearance.
The group is facing charges of human trafficking and kidnapping.
The Vredenburg Magistrate's Court has postponed their case to next Wednesday for bail application.
Six-year-old Joslin went missing in Saldanha Bay in February under mysterious circumstances.
At the time, her mother said that she'd left her child in the care of her boyfriend.

Joslin's whereabouts remain unknown.
Western Cape Community Safety MEC Reagen Allen says the police are a step closer to finding the little girl.
"We trust that the investigation will now unfold in terms of what has happened. We are still keeping hope alive, knowing that we are wanting to ultimately find Joslin unharmed.
"Further to that, I am aware that further charges can still be added to the sheet, and we will be closely working with the South African Police Service to ensure that no stone is left unturned."
