There is still no sign of Joshlin Smith, 24 days after she disappeared from Saldanha Bay, with her mother and two men still on the hook for allegedly kidnapping and trafficking her. 

Joshlin's mother, Kelly Smith, her partner Jacquen "Boeta" Appolis, Steveno van Rhyn, and Phumza Sigaqa made their second appearances in the Vredenburg Magistrate's Court on Wednesday after being driven into the court complex in an armoured truck for their safety. 

Outside the court, about 200 people screamed at them from behind a razor wire cordon, and some climbed onto the wall around the court and threw stones at the truck as it entered the courtyard.
