She also said she borrowed R50 from her employer on the day of Joslin’s disappearance and went to buy drugs.

“I went to my home and smoked the drugs with Appollis. I noticed that both my children were still at home. After smoking, I then went back to work around 1pm.”

“Just before 5pm, I borrowed another R200 from (my employer) and proceeded to my home. When I got home, Appollis and Steveno were present.”

She [Kelly] asked about the whereabouts of her children and was told that her younger child was with the godfather. She adds in her statement that her neighbour told her that Joslin was playing at a park.

The mother of three, who miscarried her unborn baby whilst in police custody was recently mocked for her weight gain on social media.

Minister McKenzie shared a before and after picture of Kelly and said in a Facebook post: “The difference is not jail food but the absence of drugs in her body.”

Byron Krieger: “The rest of her co accuse still looks under fed, the boss always is fatter than their goons.”

Lenie Geldenhuys: “I think her pregnancy also added some weight.”

Lizelle Brand: “The government will continuously take the honest workers tax money to support these people in prison, rehabilitation centres, school, meals daily. They seem to be having better privileges inside.”

Demi Essau: “Was she not pregnant or was it just the vette?”
