- The Western Cape Missing Persons Unit has criticised how the case of missing six-year-old Joslin Smith is handled. The founder of the Western Cape Missing Persons Unit, Candice van der Rheede, says there is so much interference and distractions in the case and the main objective has been lost. It's now day 15 since Joslin Smith was last seen and there are still no solid leads. So far, police have found pieces of blood-stained clothing. She was last seen on Monday, February 19, at about 5pm in the care of her mother's boyfriend, as she was not feeling well. Later in the afternoon, when the mother returned from work, Joslin was nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, police are urging the public to refrain from spreading false information as the search for Joslin intensifies. A reward has since been offered for information which could lead to Joslin being found. For more on this matter, we're now joined on the line by the founder of the Western Cape Missing Persons Unit, Candice van der Rheede

We can all see the police is not doing their job so thank you to those community members that is looking for her
SAPS are not following up on leads they got 2 weeks ago. SAPS have no urgency hence Mr Gayton Mckenzie, organisations and the community of Saldanha intervened. SAPS gives no updates on developments but Mr Mckenzie does. There's international interest in this case but SAPS doesn't care 2 keep ppl informed
International interest? Where? I live in UK and nobody has mentioned it here
Mckenzie exploiting lower income coloured people again. Ask Nathaniel Julie's mother in Elderado Park if she would welcome his "help" again.
In America there are two cases of young girls that disappeared. Those investigators are not playing around. Two perpetrators were arrested within days of the disappearance.
I am so sorry to be this blunt but the steps that are bee taken is exactly what this country needs. If this situation was not blown out of the water as it is now, Joslin's disappearance would just be another statistic. We have no faith in the justice system anymore.
Agree with you
Agree, the SAPS cannot even solve murder cases
U couldnt have said it any better
I agree with you.
I agree with you 💯
Mr Mckenzie and community , lead the police to more people that was present. (which police did not even ask or do) They also led them to so many areas to be searched. They are helping the community members as helpers. They are not there to get votes. Mr Mckenzie made calls and requested help from Government and City of Cape Town.. If he did not do it, the case would've been a file unsolved already. So from that point we must all thanks Mr Gayton Mckenzie
Fact!
They must arrest the last person who was with her😢😢😢simply
I agree boyfriend of the child’s mother knows very well what happened to the child he knows without a doubt he must be interrogated more do they have long hole toilets there to also check the boyfriend must tell the truth
Is there no other person to interview? This person already speculates about murder. How unprofessional.
I hope they find the little girl alive and well I also pray that they give the rest of the cases of the missing black children the same energy and manner
Totally disagree! PA did something the police took 2 weeks to do, PA showed how useless our Police is now they want to blame PA for exposing them!
The boyfriend of Joslins mother know exactly what happened to Joslin
I agree.
Exactly 💯
That was my immediate thought , he must tell the truth
Acsacly the boyfriend must come clean
Poeple stop leaving your girl kids with boyfriends
Nonsense man. The PA and the community were there since day one. Followed up on leads since day one! Where was SAPS on day one?? 🤔
Yes this is so true... If it wasn't for gayton and his team.. This case would have been another.. One of those swept under mat cases... Soooo well done gayton the team and the community.
SAPS dont even found leads
Gayton Mckenzie and the comunity found all the leads
The K9 unit was brought in because of Mr.Gayton Mckenzie
I really hope this doesn't end up like the case of the young German tourist who went missing in Cape Town after being attacked and robbed on the mountain, and then he was never seen again and no body found.
Find the poor little girl please
Im praying she's still alive🙏
We don't have faith in the Police.
She's gone people..... The mother and boyfriend knows everything.... 😮
If our justice system is not so weak none of this would have happened how many kids are atill missing the community and the political party been helping all because our police are so incompetent
If police was quick the public would not jump to social media they feel powerless no rush hear so the public went along and did their own searches...i dont thonknthe guilty party will get off..he will get justice by law or by the communaty...always easy to complain later...
Where's the mother and boyfriend People are busy looking for Joslin The mother and boyfriend are in a safe house eating hot meals They need to be questioned Im angry😡😡
The point is , why is the person last seen looking after the child not thoroughly investigated , because if he cared the child would be safe, he is not the real father, and why did the mother leave her daughter in a man a boyfriends care???? until the guilty one is found , everything possible should be seen as suspect , that was closest to the child
You tell me there are no witnesses to this kidnapping. 🤔
Sadly it makes me think she was not alive when she left the house. I wish I'm wrong.
She was not kidnapped she is with the lord from the 19 Feb ready that’s what my gut feeling
True. It's simply mindboggling that today's mothers leaves the children up to their own devices. In the olden (safer than today's) children was checked that they ate their food, had a bath, up to date with homework from school and clothing ready for the next day at school. 🤔
She wasn't kidnapped, her step dad knows exactly where her body is
Jesus please look after the little Girl😢 the adults don't know what they doing😢
As with most so-called public services that suffer from non-delivery, the people of SA are required to solve their own problems despite paying billions in taxes.
True. We live in a country where corruption is rife! Everyone suffering the incompetence and greed of the 'government'.
Cops either want to / or not to resolve this case
Please investigate the mothers BOYFRIEND.
Crime is out of control !!!! Criminals have no fear anymore.
Exactly.
28,000 people have been murdered in South Africa in 2023.
Kidnapping between 45 to 50 a day.
@@tonythebomb4147 yet they cry over Gaza which is warzone In fairness Gaza started. We loose those numbers yearly.we didn't start a war , its a war against us! Anc is disgusting they continue to lower the level of disregard for rhe ppl they r meant to serve !
@@1986aurora Now 45 to 50 are kidnapped in South Africa daily.
There's a strong possibility that the suspect returned to that field to dump the evidence. The suspect is around this search party. This child is no longer alive😢
Were the clothes planted? She said that the entire field was searched countless times. Is someone trying to mislead the investigation to make people think she is dead and call off the search while she is alive and the predator that has her, can then escape with Joshlin
Speculation
But now they are both suspects being protected they should have been behind bars and questioned
Why does the police get credit gayton should be the one who must get credit cause if it wasnt for him this would have not gone the why it went saps is useless
Arrest her mom & the bf. A couple of nights in jail will have them remembering where the child is.
South Africa can learn a lot from USA crime investigators. The people who found Joseline's clothes should never have touched it! Do not disturb the crime scene! Fully agree. Sad that this young girl disappeared and still not found. 😢😢😢
Is not yet confirm whether the clothing belong to her or not
I dont trust the boyfriend, he should explain HOW he lost the child
Nonsense
Blame goes to the MOM😬😬
How many cases of kidnappind a day in South Africa a day???
Between 45 to 50.
Watch the news before you blame the mom.
Excuse me?! SAPS including this auntie did nothing since day 1 and now she wants to complain on national news 🤣🤣🤦🏽♀️
Nee wag jong
Dankie vir die waarheid....
Hulle Wil Baie praat maar niks doen
Wat n groot skaande
Now you get the people that's been searching from the beginning we need to understand as it is very frustrating for the community searching day and night
Unfortunately, this is the era we live in. Police should be able to adapt and act accordingly.
Whats wrong with Bheke Cele met hom groot hoed
We don't care what is wrong with him. We just want him to go, Crime is insane & all he does is travel & talk to media. Let him go. We don't need him. He is beyond useless.
Bheke Cele must become a TH-camr or Actor coz its evidently clear that he’s more interested in that and not willing to do his job al wat hy wil doen is voor die kameras staan en vir ons wil lieg
Why are you surprised? Look who runs the show........
the thing is if she is not found, the boyfriend is to blame as she was in his care. plain and simple, he will have all the answers. but because there is no death penalty, they will just go to jail. which they dont fear
They say Joslene was not feeling well, I wonder what was wrong with her... if the mum can answer this question, it will give a clear lead the whereabouts of the girl..
The moms boyfriend knows something for sure...
This is going to hurt. I'm hoping for the best.
The community took the law in their own hands because the police are too slow. I understand the issue of tampering with crucial evidence. Maybe there should be a clause in place for social media not to post every single thing! Social media is a problem especially when it comes to false information
Fully agree with everything Candice has said ...feom sensationalism on social media, to contamination of evidence
We see this all too often when something like this happens
Yes. Strangely more talking and sharing things they are not even sure of on social media. This must have a devastating impact on the investigators!
Police must go from shack to shack, she is there or her body !
My thoughts exactly!
These parents must take better care of their children. Rather send her to school and take some time off to make an appointment with the doctor.
Famous last words "In the care of the mother's boyfriend"
But did anyone offer the people gloves when they went searching,at the moment one is blaming the other ,first thing the dogs were suppose to go out as soon the police were alert ,rite now find joslin
Yes, you are right with the gloves as to not contaminate the crime scene.
Did she say where “Courtney” went missing?
Is it true that Joselines parents sold her to a sangoma ???
Been wanting to comment on this but decided to shut it......
What is going on with the consciousness of mankind?
this beautiful child should have been found in 3days!
Send up the feking drones!
Send out sniffer dogs!
I see nothing such.
They used drones... 2 weeks after
The 1st 24 hours is the most important after that the chances of her being found alive declines by 70%.
What happened to Amahle Thabete😢
And Sipesihle Dlamini as well 😢 this child has been missing since December 2017!!!
😭😭
They only concentrate on light skinned babies .
This country is a shame in crime
Very true the perpetrator knows everything
Social media played a big part of this...for better or for worse
Too many people involved.Too many stories and tampering with evidence.Leave it to the experienced professionals to do there job.Its a fact everybody is concerned but please let the powers that be get on with solving this problem.
Sorry 😢
Mother and boyfriend MUST TALK
I understand her stance
Sad people take care of your kids I never let my kids out of my sight 🙏
I agree with you fully Candice.....
Mother must arrested an step father they are guilty
The lady is making valid points... and thats mainly the reason why Saps is in a way stepping back .. this lives is only causing the perpetrator to get away
Close these boarders sothat everybody who comes in and out the country must be known.
That blood stuff they found that people they lead those people the wrong way far from where she is that people are clever
Who is Courtney????
This cops only came on the scene after two weeks shows how useless they are
The answer is with the mother , BF and Stephno easy as pie
Stephno took the cops to the scene and they found bloody clothing , then changed his story saying the BF hit Joslin 2 blue eyes and wanted to get rid of her this guy story has changed 3 times and the answers lay right with the people that were in that house she was not kidnapped
What police?
Unbelievable
What a beautiful idea she is a great person I have never seen before
Sounds like the boyfriend sold her
Where is Joslin
I agree with the lady my fully support Thankyou Jesus
The truth will come out through the help of social media, it makes things come out faster and people will start to talk.
How many missing children was found by the missing persons unit? The ones tht has not been found killed
Where is the person that offered money for the child he should also be behind bars because he offered money to people using drugs and is part of Joslins missing
Look in the shack of mother somewhere she is around there
If she say they searched there then what if tht clothes was planted there and i think those arrested shld tell the truth
Yes boyfriend must know something.
What if the perpetrators are in the midst of searching for this LITTLE girl .also... Community communicate with the police if any thing is found ....ASAP.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GLOVES AND A PACKET WHILST ON THE SEARCH .
JOSLIN WE PRAYING FOR YOU AND ALL OTHER CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS THAT HAVE GONE MISSING..
My heart bleeds how selfish ppl can be in hurting kids😢
May the search go of peacefully in Jesus Name
Boyfriend knows
The police hasnt been making moves plz.
Sad very sad
Thanks candice
True
But the police are not making any moves mommy😢
Her mother sold her why cant they make her say to who she sold the child to she's the guilty one so why not make her say where her child is .
The psychic Woke Leo Lass said this would happen. EVERYTHING she said was true. They planted those clothes there afterwards. I don't understand why they are not following the advice of true psychics, it doesn't have to be published, just follow it as a lead. It makes sense.
Listen to mara a sychic she hears gayton is involved in case
WANT LAW😂
well u guys should not be looking at tiktok for information. this missing persons chief sounds completely uneducated.
Soek daai kind by familie en vriende hulle soek geld
cat o' nine tails to a junkie who sold their kid for drugs...works well for junkie memories, sooner the better though
Listen hear women.... IF IT WASNT GAYTON AND OOM BIZA, THIS CASE WOULDVE BEEN COLD ALREADY!!!!!
The Police planted those items there!!!! Because they aee INVOLVED.
2:51 2:56
3:58 4:07 4:15
What do you actually expect when you have a Durban Traffic cop , without a day of Real Police training, as the "Minister of Police"???
Pay close attention to your circle before they hurt you everyone should step back and stop making there own stories none of us know the true story the person leaving clues maybe be misleading the people stay woke
