Supreme Court of Appeal Rules on Legality of Nandipha Magudumana’s Arrest and Deportation from Tanzania

The Supreme Court of Appeal was tasked with determining whether Dr. Nandipha Magudumana was unlawfully arrested and taken from Tanzania by South African Police Service (SAPS) members before being flown back to Johannesburg.

The case raised questions not only about the legality of her removal but also about South Africa’s jurisdictional authority outside its borders. Here’s how the courts examined the facts.

Examining the Arrest Claims

Magudumana, a suspect linked to convicted murderer Thabo Bester’s high-profile escape, fled South Africa and was later found in Tanzania.

She filed an urgent application in the Free State High Court, alleging that on 6 April 2023, SAPS officers arrested her on Tanzanian soil, blindfolded her, and forced her onto a Department of Home Affairs aircraft for deportation to South Africa.

If true, such cross-border action would have violated both South African and international law.

High Court vs. Supreme Court Findings

The High Court ruled that while Magudumana’s deportation appeared similar to an “extradition disguised as a deportation,” she had consented to return to care for her children and thus accepted the process.

However, the Supreme Court of Appeal, in a judgment delivered by Deputy President Zondi, focused on the legal pleadings. It found that Magudumana failed to prove SAPS officers arrested her in Tanzania.

Instead, Tanzanian authorities detained her for immigration violations and handed her to South African consular officials. She was only formally arrested by SAPS upon arrival at Lanseria Airport. As a result, the appeal was dismissed.
