Police return to Saldanha Bay as new leads emerge in Joshlin Smith investigation
The Star
|March 27, 2026
WESTERN Cape police have descended on Saldanha Bay in the Western Cape as new leads on Joshlin Smith arise. Police and a number of their K9s are currently walking along the dunes in the area.
This comes after Reverend June Dolly took to social media, stating she had evidence of the green-eyed girl’s disappearance, but stated police were not taking her seriously.
Earlier this month, National Minister of Sports, Arts, and Culture and leader of the Patriotic Alliance (PA), Gayton McKenzie, launched the Joshlin Smith foundation in the area. At the launch, McKenzie said he believed Joshlin was still alive and would be sharing this information with the police.
