Makalima
Makalima, also known as Phumza Sigaqa, is implicated in the alleged kidnapping and trafficking of six-year-old Joslin Smith, as accusations arose that she was involved in purchasing the child for ritual purposes. Although she was arrested shortly after Joslin's disappearance, charges against her were withdrawn due to lack of evidence, and her role in the case remains unclear.
