The court delivered its judgment on Friday, firmly rejecting Magudumana’s claim that her return to South Africa earlier this year was illegal. Adding to her woes, the court also ordered her to pay the legal costs of the case – a move that underscores the seriousness with which the judiciary has treated the matter.
Dr Magudumana, once a well-known medical professional and now a central figure in a high-profile criminal case, had argued that her deportation from Tanzania was carried out under questionable circumstances. But the SCA found no merit in her appeal, reinforcing the legality of the government’s actions.
This ruling marks another dramatic chapter in a story that has captured national attention – one filled with intrigue, international pursuit, and a fall from grace that continues to unfold in the public eye.
