NPA welcomes Magudumana deportation appeal dismissal

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has welcomed the decision of the Supreme Court of Appeal to dismiss the deportation appeal of controversial doctor Nandipha Magudumana.

She was arrested in 2023 in Tanzania, together with serial rapist and murderer Thabo Bester – an arrest she had contended was illegal.

“In June 2023, Judge Loubser dismissed Dr Magudumana’s application for her arrest and deportation from Tanzania in April 2023 to be declared unlawful and set aside. The NPA’s prosecution team will now focus on ensuring that the trial set down for 21 July to 19 September 2025, before the Free State Division of the High Court in Bloemfontein, proceeds without any unreasonable delay. 

“Dr Magudumana and her co-accused are facing a total of 38 counts ranging from fraud, corruption, money laundering, assisting an inmate to escape, violation of the body, arson, and defeating the ends of justice. The NPA is committed to ensuring that justice is not only done but manifestly seen to be done because of the alleged crimes’ impact on the rule of law and the victims,” the NPA said in a statement on Friday. – SAnews.gov.za
