# The Western Cape High Court will, over the next two days, hear applications for leave to appeal the convictions and life sentences in the Joslin Smith case. Kelly Smith, Jacquen Appollis and Steveno van Rhyn were sentenced to life imprisonment on charges of human trafficking and ten-years for kidnapping in May. This is in connection with the disappearance of Smith’s young daughter in February last year. Judge Nathan Erasmus will also determine whether former-accused-turned state witness, Lourentia Lombaard, should be criminally charged. Joslin has still not been found.
