Jocelyn Smith's aunt, Mickyla Daniels, and sister of the child's mother, Kelly, clapped back at critics who questioned her comments about her brother.
This comes after Daniels claimed Kelly had confessed to allegedly selling her daughter for R10 000.
Daniels, a female police officer, shared the news on Facebook Live with Patriot Movement leader Gayton McKenzie earlier this month.
Four people, including Ms Jocelyn's mother and her boyfriend, Jackin Apolis or Ms Boeta, will appear in the Vredenburg Magistrate's Court on Wednesday, March 13, on charges of kidnapping and human trafficking.
Jocelyn disappeared from her home in Diazville, Saldanha Bay on February 19th. At the time, she was under the care of Boeta, who along with Kelly admitted to drug abuse.
Jocelyn Smith's aunt responds with applause.
Mickyla Daniels responded to the news of Kelly and Boeta's arrest in a Facebook post.
He appeared to applaud his critics by reposting photos of the couple and their co-defendants. She said: “When I spoke these things, I was attacked. Now look at this! But God never sleeps. That's all I have to say.”
Just a few days ago, Mikila paid a touching tribute to her niece Jocelyn Smith.
She captioned a video montage of her children: You never deserved what happened. ”
Toe ek di goed praat toe word ek Attack…Kyk nou!!!!!Maar God slaap nie dis al wat ek sê!

“Kelly knows where her child is.”
During a Facebook Live last week, Gayton McKenzie addressed the claims made by Kelly's sister, Mickiella Daniels. Daniels said Kelly confessed to her that someone was interested in buying Jocelyn Smith for R10,000.
Daniels told Gayton during the show that Kelly told him over the phone. One of them wanted to buy her, but Ms. Saldaña got “too hot.” That was exactly what she said to me.
“I feel like Kelly knows where her child is. Why wouldn't she try to look for her child in the community?”
Mickyla claimed that her sister then “changed her story.”
In response, Kelly told Gayton that as a mother, she told her sister that she believed her child was alive and possibly in a squatter camp.
He added: “You're a liar and you're making me look bad about things I don't know.”

opposed to bail for the accused
Meanwhile, the National Prosecuting Authority plans to oppose bail for four defendants, including Steveno van Ryn and Fimza Sigaka.
Western Cape Minister of Community Safety and Police Oversight Regen Allen also asked the court to refuse bail.
He posted on Facebook: “We want this girl to be found unharmed and returned home safely. These suspects must be innocent. We will ask the judge whether we should apply for bail or not. Or we will encourage you to deny it when it is applied.”
