The disappearance of 6-year-old Joshlin Smith has taken a shocking turn, with Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton Mackenzie now at the center of the controversy. Questions are swirling about his involvement, especially after Joshlin’s mother, Kelly Smith, claimed that someone is assuring her the child is still alive—while allegedly paying her to stay silent.
A Mother’s Chilling Statements
In 2023, Kelly Smith reportedly told a witness that she planned to sell Joshlin. She allegedly said, “Even if they don’t bring R20,000, I’ll still sell her for R5,000.” She also made a chilling prediction: “This case is going to be famous. There will be convoys of cars.”
Fast forward to 2024, and Gayton Mackenzie arrived at the scene of Joshlin’s disappearance with convoys of cars—exactly as Kelly had predicted a year earlier. This eerie coincidence has left many questioning Mackenzie’s motives and involvement.
Gayton Mackenzie’s Political Exploitation
Mackenzie, known for leveraging public issues like immigration for political gain, has now turned Joshlin’s disappearance into a campaign tool. He brought police to the scene, positioning himself as a hero. However, his actions have raised eyebrows, especially given Kelly’s earlier statements and the timing of his involvement.
A Witness’s Testimony
A man testified that Kelly had been planning to sell Joshlin since 2023. He revealed her disturbing statements about selling her child for as little as R5,000. This testimony, combined with Kelly’s claims of being paid to stay silent, has fueled speculation about a larger conspiracy.
The Big Question: Who Is Pulling the Strings?
Is Gayton Mackenzie using Joshlin’s disappearance to gain political ground? Or is there a deeper, more sinister connection between him and Kelly Smith? The public demands answers, and the truth may be more shocking than anyone imagined.
