Despite being served with a letter demanding an apology or a fine of half a million rand, TikToker Maryke Erasmus has continued her wild claims that Gayton McKenzie is “hiding” missing Joslin Smith in one of his Cape Town homes.
The brazen woman was recently slapped with a lawsuit from the now Minister of Sport, Arts, and Culture. In several TikTok clips, Maryke alleges that Gayton is a member of the secret service Illuminati, who ordered him to “kidnap” the Saldanha Bay girl.

Little Joslin disappeared from her Middelpos informal settlement home in the community of Diazville on 19 February.
The Patriotic Alliance leader, Gayton McKenzie, has been active in the search for the six-year-old. Her mother, Kelly Smith, partner Jacquin Appollis, and two accomplices have since been charged with human trafficking and kidnapping.
According to Gayton McKenzie, his lawyers had served Maryke Erasmus with a letter of demand, urging her to retract and apologize over her “defamatory statements” that he “kidnapped” Joslin Smith.

If she fails to comply, she will be required to pay R500,000, plus his legal fees. In a video posted last month, Maryke said, “Joslin’s disappearance has to do with Gayton McKenzie. He planned to steal her.”
She alleged that the PA leader kidnapped Joslin to make himself appear as a “hero” to the public. She also claimed that Gayton has links to the Illuminati, who ordered him to carry out the kidnapping. The woman claims that God made the “revelation” to her.

However, it seems that Gayton McKenzie’s legal warning has not deterred Maryke Erasmus. In her latest TikTok video, the Laingsburg woman claimed that Gayton was allegedly harbouring Joslin Smith in one of his houses in the community of Kraaifontein.
Maryke claims that she had approached the police to search the house, which she asserts allegedly belonged to the minister. She added, “This was what God revealed to me. She is there in that house. I believe it.” Maryke has refused to apologize or retract her statements.
