Dr Nandipha Magudumana’s legal representative Anton Katz arguing in court.
The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) has reserved judgment in the appeal matter by Dr Nandipha Magudumana to have her arrest in Tanzania declared unlawful.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) says it is confident that the SCA will rule in their favour by dismissing Magudumana’s application.
The bench fiercely interrogated Magudumana’s assertion that she was unlawfully detained in Tanzania.
“Look we have always maintained that the process of her deportation from Tanzania to South Africa which led to her arrest in Lanseria Airport was a seamless one. It was above board, there was nothing untoward and you could hear from the arguments and the line of questioning from the judges that definitely the ruling will be in our favour. We are hoping the application for appeal will be dismissed,” says NPA spokesperson Mthunzi Mhaga.
