The defense argues that the prosecution failed to demonstrate that Magudumana should not be granted bail.In his closing arguments, Magudumana’s lawyer, Machini Motloung submitted to the court that Magudumana’s case remains unchallenged by the state. Motloung says, “Where evidence remains undisputed, that evidence automatically should be accepted by this honourable court. My submissions are that the evidence in as far as personal circumstances are concerned is not even riddled with any improbabilities, its not far fetched, sustained to the point that the applicant has strong family ties within the area where she resides including strong family ties and occupational ties in the Republic of South Africa.
