Home Affairs minister Aaron Motsoaledi has insisted that Dr Nandipha Magudumana, accused of helping convicted rapist and killer Thabo Bester escape from prison, was lawfully deported from Tanzania in April. | iavanpijoos
This comes after Magudumana's legal team filed papers in the Free State High Court in Bloemfontein on Friday demanding her release from detention immediately and for a judge to declare all the orders and warrants against her null and void.
"He [director-general] was shocked to discover that the Department of Home Affairs and I were not cited as respondents in that matter. He said Magudumana and Bester were declared prohibited immigrants in terms of the immigration laws of Tanzania and were therefore liable to be deported back to their country of origin as a matter of law.
He said the Tanzanians did not want to hand them over to police, as this would amount to a rendition.
