Inside court, State advocate Aradhana Heeramun said they are in the process of finalising the case.
The prosecutor said: “All information that is received by the police is being followed up. I can further confirm that forensic reports have been received.
“On completion of this investigation, this court will be informed of the forum that the matter will be tried. The State’s request today is for postponement until July 15.”
Joshlin Smith has been missing since Monday, February 19. Picture: Supplied When the Daily Voice asked Kelly where Joshlin was and if it is true that she had sold her daughter, she replied: “I don’t know, ask Boeta [Appollis], and no I didn’t sell her.”
Appollis replied that he “didn’t know anything”.
Joshlin’s paternal grandmother, Lauretta Yon said she was disappointed about the postponement.
“I was hoping we would find out where Joshlin is. Now we have to wait for another two months to go back to court,” Yon said.

“I asked Kelly when I visited her on that Saturday to talk or else she is going to be locked away for a long time. Where is your child?’ I asked, and she maintained she didn’t know. She insisted that she was not part of this. Her mood was very cool.
“I only heard [today] that she was pregnant. I didn’t see that when I visited her, I was late for court, so I couldn’t see that.
“She wanted to know why I didn’t bring her young daughter. I told her that I don’t want her to visit her in jail. Joshlin’s father came from Springbok on Sunday night, he is not talking to us about how he feels,” Yon said.
Dad Jose Emke refused to comment about his daughter’s disappearance, only saying: “I am not feeling well, I don’t want to talk.”
The group will remain in custody and are expected back in court on July 15.
