Sentencing proceedings in the kidnapping case of Joshlin Smith will commence in the Western Cape High Court in Saldanha Bay today.
Her mother, Kelly and co-accused, Jacquen Appollis and Steveno Van Rhyn, were convicted on charges of kidnapping and child trafficking about three weeks ago.
The six-year-old Joshlin went missing from her Middlepos home in February last year.
Kelly Smiths neighbour, Sinazo Kolisi, says she wants to see justice.
All I want is that the court must play the role, must sentence Mama Ka-Joshlin for a life sentence and throw the key by the sea because she knows the truth. She knows where the child is. Its Mama Ka-Joshlin is hiding something. Its either something happened to that child and then she covers for her boyfriend.
