The acting judge, Melissa Jordaan, pointed out that Magudumana was the central character in Thabo Bester’s escape from Mangaung prison. Magudumana assisted Bester to escape prison, and the pair were caught in Tanzania less than a year after a cat-and-mouse chase between them and law enforcement.

According to SABC News, Jordaan believed that she was a flight risk because she was arrested in another country where she did not have her passport.
