LIVE: Magudumana ConCourt Challenge Over Alleged Tanzania Extradition | 14 May 2026

The Constitutional Court is set to hear a high-stakes legal challenge by Nandipha Magudumana, who argues that her handover by Tanzanian authorities to officials of the South African High Commission amounted to a disguised extradition. Her legal team contends that her subsequent removal to South Africa was unconstitutional, unlawful, and invalid. Magudumana has escalated the matter to the apex court after losing her appeal at the Supreme Court of Appeal. She maintains that her arrest and deportation in Tanzania in April 2023 violated due process. The case is linked to her escape alongside convicted fugitive Thabo Bester and their ongoing criminal proceedings in South Africa.
