A South African woman goes on trial charged with kidnapping and selling her daughter

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — A South African woman went on trial Monday charged with kidnapping and selling her young daughter in a case that gained national attention. Kelly Smith is charged alongside her partner and another man over the disappearance of her daughter Joshlin more than a year ago. Smith won sympathy across South Africa in the early days of Joshlin’s disappearance and neighbors joined together to help police search for the child in sand dunes near the impoverished settlement of shacks and small houses where they lived. Smith claimed she left Joshlin with Appollis on the day she went missing in February 2024 and hadn’t seen her again.
