The Bloemfontein High Court has dismissed Dr Nandipha Magudumana's urgent application to declare her"deportation" from Tanzania unlawful.
Judge Phillip Loubser, however, found the"deportation" was, in fact, a"disguised extradition" but ultimately found against Magudumana because she had willingly consented to leave the country.How safe is your neighbourhood? Find out by using Bester was serving a life sentence in the Manguang Correctional Centre when he escaped in May 2022 after orchestrating a fake suicide by fire. Judge Phillip Loubser hands down his judgement on Dr Nandipha Magudumana's urgent application at the Bloemfontein High Court on Monday.Magudumana is accused of fraud, defeating the ends of justice, violating a body, and aiding and abetting an inmate to escape from lawful custody, corruption and arson.
On Monday, Loubser found that because a South African delegation willingly participated in the handing over of Magudumana and Bester on 12 April in Tanzania, and because they knew the handing over would be for purposes of her prosecution, they were extraditing Magudumana and not deporting her.He made the distinction that extradition usually involved the handing over of a person who was accused or convicted of a crime, and deportation was the removal of an unwanted person from a country.
