The live confrontation between Gogo Skhotheni and a man who allegedly paid her R50,000 for ukuthwala rituals involving a snake has sparked widespread debate.
However, what stood out most prominently was Gayton McKenzie’s revelations regarding the disturbing disappearance of Joselyn.
In the video, Gayton McKenzie makes a series of serious allegations, suggesting that Joselyn’s case is not just a simple kidnapping, but rather part of a larger conspiracy involving influential local figures.
Contrary to troubling rumors claiming that Joselyn had been killed or harmed by traditional healers (“sangomas”) for rituals involving her skin and eyes, Gayton insists that Joselyn is still alive.
According to him, the child was sold to a powerful figure with the assistance of a person named Ayanda, allegedly the critical link between politicians and criminal networks involved in child trafficking.
Gayton outlines five central points of suspicion intended to help the public connect seemingly disparate elements in the case.
First, he questions why the mayor publicly stated that police had halted their investigation, a claim directly contradicted by the Minister of Police.
Gayton views this as deliberate misinformation to conceal deeper corruption.
Secondly, he finds it suspicious that provincial MEC Rian Ellen became unusually involved in Ayanda’s arrest, despite numerous other pressing cases of murder and kidnapping that do not attract the same official attention.
Thirdly, Gayton questions how MEC Ellen and other influential figures knew immediately when Ayanda was detained, given Ayanda reportedly had no means of communication at the time.
This suggests internal leaks within the police force designed to enable interference and manipulation of the case.
Fourth, Gayton strongly criticizes Ellen for publicly defending Ayanda as a “good businessman,” despite allegations from Ayanda’s own partner labeling him a drug dealer.
Gayton accuses authorities of granting Ayanda preferential treatment, including questionable government contracts awarded without transparent processes.
Finally, Gayton boldly declares that should authorities arrest him for speaking out, he would refuse bail and use his imprisonment as a platform to summon all involved—including the mayor and senior police officials—to testify publicly.
His intent is to expose corruption, police misconduct, and the truth behind Joselyn’s disappearance.
The revelations have profoundly moved and unsettled the public.
Many have expressed mixed emotions—relief that Joselyn might still be alive, yet deep concern about her well-being and current situation.
If Gayton’s allegations prove true, the implications are deeply troubling, suggesting Joselyn is in unimaginable distress and danger.
The possibility that mothers or caretakers could participate in harming or selling their own children for financial gain adds another tragic dimension to this narrative, highlighting growing moral decay in society.
Ultimately, Joselyn’s case is more than an isolated incident; it has become a symbol of systemic corruption, declining moral standards, and the urgent need for transparency and accountability in South Africa.
Citizens are demanding that authorities provide clear answers, ensure Joselyn’s safe return, and hold accountable those responsible for her disappearance.
