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!
