Western
Cape police have rubbished claims by Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie
that another person has been arrested in connection with the disappearance
of Saldanha schoolgirl Joshlin Smith.
McKenzie
told his Facebook followers that a “huge police raid” took place at
the house of a sangoma on Wednesday and claimed that police were
“all over the place” and were looking for a person of
interest.
Although
McKenzie promised to provide more details, he failed to do so.
