Last month, the same court dismissed Magudumana's appeal for her arrest and detention to be declared unlawful and wrongful.
Loubser said Magudumana had consented to her removal because she wanted to be with her children. During arguments, Magudumana's lawyer, advocate Kessler Perumalsamy, said there were grounds for her case to be heard by the Supreme Court of Appeal. Magudumana was arrested in Tanzania in April with her escaped prisoner boyfriend, Thabo Bester. She has two daughters from a previous marriage.
He pointed out that she had initially alleged to have been abducted and blindfolded, but had now changed her tune to say she had never consented to her removal from Tanzania.
