Dr Nandipha Magudumana will face four charges, including murder and fraud, when she appears on Thursday morning in the Bloemfontein magistrate's court.
National police commissioner Lt-Gen Fannie Masemola, at a briefing headed by justice minister Ronald Lamola and police minister Bheki Cele, confirmed the various charges Magudumana and the Mozambican national face.
“The charges Magudumana will be facing are:
-aiding and abetting escape [of a convicted prisoner from lawful custody],
-murder of a number of bodies that we found in her possession,
-violation of bodies, and
-fraud.”
Magudumana and her lover, Thabo Bester, were deported to South Africa in the early hours of Thursday after their arrest in Tanzania.
The duo, along with a Mozambican national, were arrested over Easter en route from Arusha to the Kenyan border. The couple landed at Johannesburg's Lanseria airport on a specially chartered flight. Bester was taken to Kgosi Mampuru prison.
