'I haunt them': Psychic talks to Joslin's 'spirit'
Paranormal justice expert Kandis Starr has shared another video of her session with what she believes is the 'spirit' of little Joslin Smith, who went missing last year. And this time, the US medium hopes her message will bring 'closure' to the loved ones of the little girl.
Last week, Joslin's mom, Kelly Smith, and two others, Jacquin 'Boeta' Appollis and Steveno van Rhyn, were given life sentences for trafficking the Saldanha Bay girl.
Although she has not been found, Kandiss believes the blonde-haired, green-eyed girl is deceased.
Kicking off her YouTube video, Kandis Starr revealed that she had developed a strong connection to Joslin Smith's 'spirit'.
The US medium has shared several videos of her supernatural encounters, which she believes are with the Saldanha Bay girl.
Responding to her naysayers, Kandis said: 'I began this work with one purpose: to give victims a voice. This didnt start as content, it started as a calling. This isn't for clicks, it is for closure.'
During a spirit box session – a device that can interpret radio waves – Kandis Starr connected to her spirit guides and whom she believes is also Joslin Smith.
'I'm here, can I talk?' a voice asks the woman.
Kandis then gave 'Joslin' the opportunity to take freely, following her mother, Kelly Smith's life sentence last week.
A voice said the following…
'Sick mother'
'Fights off that man.'
'I'm hurt, I'm being hurt, I'm just little'
'They have money.'
'Has lied…is a lie'
'They are evil.'
When Kandis asked 'Joslin' to share details about her past locations, the voice responded: 'Landfill…the couch'
During the session, Kandis Starr also asked the voice if 'Joslin' was behind an eerie court incident.
It responded: 'Yes…I haunt them'.
Last week, a viral video showed a light flickering in the Western Cape High Court above the heads of Kelly Smith, Jacquin 'Boeta' Appollis, and Steveno van Rhyn. In the clip, Kelly glances up at the light.
According to many social media users, a flickering light indicates the presence of spirits. @rockfairy_0 the fact that steveno even noticed lol.. . . . . . . . .#joslinsmith #truecrime #southafricatiktok #afrikaanstiktoks #news #courtroom #crimetok #missingchild #fyp #truecrime #southafricatiktok #afrikaanstiktoks #news #courtroom #kellysmith #fypシ゚ #meme #darkhumor .#CapCut ♬ Me and the Devil – Soap&Skin

Carte Blanche: Phakisa Freeway
The 08 June episode of Carte Blanche investigates the future of Phakisa Freeway, a circuit once hailed as the capital of motorsport in South Africa. Despite its reputation as one of the best tracks in the country, Phakisa currently sees no activity. Years of neglect and bureaucratic challenges have taken their toll on what was once considered the jewel of South African motorsport. The program explores whether a burgeoning grassroots movement can successfully breathe new life into the dormant facility and restore it to its former glory. Carte Blanche is a South African investigative journalism television series that airs on M-Net every Sunday at 19:00. Its first episode aired on 21 August 1988 and over the last 34-plus years has earned credibility among South African viewers for its investigation into corruption, consumer issues, and current events.

SPCA investigating starving dog in influencer's viral video
The National SPCA are investigating an influencer's viral TikTok video, which featured a notably starving dog in it. However, the woman – Sasha Tshiamo – claims she is not responsible for the animal. On the X platform, a video of influencer Sasha Tshiamo quickly went viral. But the TikTok had nothing to do with the content creator's flair for fashion or curvy figure. Instead, an emaciated dog in the background of the clip had social media users up in arms. The animal's ribcage was clearly visible, and it appeared lethargic. Many South Africans called on animal rights activists like the SPCA to intervene. @Zakhele27520120: '@NSPCA_SA Please, that dog is suffering there, do something 💔' @Nicole_Barlow1: 'Please, do the humane thing and surrender the dog to the nearest @NSPCA_SA. This situation is truly appalling. The blatant cruelty is unimaginable…😡🤬🤬' Others added: @Bar1Koekemoer: 'Your dog is starving. You are a despicable human being.' @JLerubako40: 'It is said that how a person treats their domestic animals says a lot about what type of person they are. Speaking to The South African, the SPCA confirmed that they were investigating the incident and would inspect the property where the dog was seen. While the SPCA has promised a thorough investigation, the influence claimed that she was not responsible for the animal. Sasha Tshiamo shared on an Instagram Story, ' I don't know if I must laugh or cry, guys. That's not my dog.' Under her TikTok video, a follower appealed to her to feed the dog. She clapped back: 'It's not my responsibility.' The SPCA has repeatedly warned the public that animal abusers can be criminally charged under the Animals Protection Act 71 of 1962. The act – which was established to prevent the cruelty of animals – stipulates that those found guilty can face a fine or imprisonment. Offenders could also face a denial of ownership – preventing them from owning animals – as well as a criminal conviction. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .
