Explore our Facebook community’s reactions to the Joshlin Smith human trafficking trial, allegations of negligence at Groote Schuur Hospital, and the devastating Tokai fire. This article compiles poignant comments from readers expressing their concerns and hopes for justice.

Joshlin Smith human trafficking trial

¢ Veralyn Donn: No matter where the child was exchanged, the child is missing

¢ Geraldine Beukes Abrahams: It seems the trial is in vain, a waste of our tax payers’ hard-earned money. Why was the whereabouts of what happened to Joshlin not addressed from day 1 from those 3 accused?

¢ Brenda Brenda: Kelly is getting fatter by the second. And that smirk on her face makes my blood boil. Seems to me she thinks she is a celebrity. Why does she not speak up and tell everyone where the child is?

¢ Chantel Sauls: Kelly must speak up Sandra Swarts: Where is our blue-eyed child? Justice for Joshlin. The whole world is crying and the mother is mum.

¢ Ntuthu Nyiki: Yes, Justice for this beautiful Angel

¢ Petra Schlabitz: Where is Joshlin?

¢ Carmen Ludwig: I pray justice will be served

Claims of negligence at Groote Schuur Hospital

¢ Shariefa Karodia: All they will say is sorry, until the next complaint. Nothing gets done about it...really a shame that medical facilities have become like this.

¢ Fazel Daries: Personally, I spent a week in Groote Schuur Hospital 12 years ago. I received exceptional service can’t fault them! I was at Nedcare Kuils River last year for 5 days and their service were pathetic!
