Thabo Bester escape: Ex-G4S employee granted R10 000 bail, case against two others postponed
Bester has appeared wearing expensive Louis Vuitton knitwear.This courtroom is used because 20A, where the matter is being heard, does not have a screen.There was a long queue for the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court on Tuesday morning as it was delayed in starting because of a power outage.The Thabo Bester matter is set to start at 10:00 on Tuesday in the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court.
Furthermore, the Department of Home Affairs will not recover from G4S the R1.4 million used to charter a flight to bring Bester and his alleged accomplice, Nandipha Magudumana, back to South Africa.Dr Nandipha Magudumana has filed an application for leave to appeal a ruling by the Bloemfontein High Court, which dismissed her urgent application to declare her"deportation" from Tanzania unlawful.
He added that she"informed all and sundry that she wanted to return to South Africa to her children". This alleged consent by Magudumana is now being addressed by Loubser.Loubser says he does not agree with the state's argument that Magudumana should challenge her"deportation" in the Tanzanian courts.
Magdumana further argues that the SA government should have applied for her extradition from Tanzania, rather than unlawfully using deportation as a mechanism to get her back into South Africa.This, she says, shows that the SA government was clearly aware of the Tanzanian government’s decision to deport long before the"prohibited immigrant" notice was issued.
