On Wednesday, the case in which she is an accused, with her lover, rapist and murderer Thabo Bester, and seven others, was delayed in the Bloemfontein magistrate's court after Magudumana apparently “collapsed” in the police holding cells.
This was allegedly just before she was to appear in court.
Her lawyer Machini Motloung told journalists his client was declared unwell on Tuesday.
Despite this, she was brought to Bloemfontein against her wishes from the Kroonstad correctional facility.
