SALDANHA BAY - The Saldanha Bay community still clings to the hope that Joshlin Smith will be found.
She has been missing since February last year, and residents of the Western Cape town have been holding prayer sessions for her safe return.
They’re now looking to the trial for details on what might have happened to her.
Joshlin's mother Kelly and two co-accused are appearing in court on kidnapping and human trafficking charges, related to her disappearance.
