Magudumana was in court for her bail application on Tuesday the 29th of August 2023.

In her affidavit read out in court by advocate Frans Dlamini, Magudumana said that on the 17th of March 2023, Bester instructed her to get inside a vehicle and leave the premises to a premises unknown to her at that time.

I submit that I did not voluntarily depart from the Republic of South Africa, I had no reason to leave the Republic of South Africa," Magudumana said.

As Dlamini continued reading her affidavit into the record, she further indicated that she was fully responsible for her two minor children.

She said there was no likelihood that her release on bail would endanger public safety and that she had no history of violent behaviour.

Magudumana also said she would not evade her trial and would attend court faithfully adding that she could afford bail of R10 000.

Prosecutor Sello Matlhoko indicated that the State would oppose bail as Magudumana had previously reserved her right to bail pending the outcome of an application to have her arrest and extradition from Tanzania declared unlawful.

On the 5th of June 2023, Judge Phillip Loubser dismissed the application on the grounds that Magudumana consented to her return when she told police that she wanted to go back to South Africa to see her children.

Loubser, however, found that the State had performed a disguised extradition instead of a deportation.
