In a heartfelt gesture, the leader of the Patriotic Alliance (PA), Gayton McKenzie, has pledged a substantial reward of R1 million from his personal funds to anyone who can provide information leading to the whereabouts of young Joshlin. Since February 19, the absence of 6-year-old Joslin Smith has gripped the nation with concern.
A Noble Cause
Gayton McKenzie, addressing his followers via Facebook, expressed his deep concern and frustration over Joslin’s continued absence despite recent arrests made in connection with the case. Describing Joslin as a symbol of hope for the nation, McKenzie emphasized her significance as a “rainbow child.” He underscored the gravity of the situation by announcing his decision to divert R1 million from his political campaign funds towards the search effort. “I will have a million Rand less for posters, for t-shirts, for diesel… but what transcends politics for me is finding that green-eyed girl,” McKenzie declared passionately.
