Dr. Nandipha Magudumana\u2019s lawyer, Machini Motloung, says they are considering taking their extradition battle to the Constitutional Court.<\/p>\n
Earlier today, the Supreme Court of Appeal dismissed Magudumana\u2019s application to appeal a High Court ruling that had rejected her challenge against the legality of her extradition.<\/p>\n
The disgraced doctor continues to insist that her arrest in Tanzania was unlawful, describing it as an abduction.<\/p>\n
She was arrested in Arusha in 2023 alongside her partner, convicted murderer Thabo Bester.<\/p>\n
Dubbed South Africa\u2019s \u201cBonnie and Clyde,\u201d the couple fled the country amid reports they had been spotted shopping in Johannesburg following Thabo Bester\u2019s dramatic escape from Mangaung Maximum Prison.<\/p>\n
They face more than 38 charges, including fraud, corruption, violation of a corpse, and defeating the ends of justice.<\/p>\n
Machini Motloung has dismissed claims that their challenge against the extradition is merely a delay tactic.<\/p>\n\t
