Oosthuizen teaching inmates while serving time in Thailand

The Cape Argus recently reported that Oosthuizen is one of 81 000 inmates who will receive the royal clemency on the king's birthday, with 12739 prisoners to Se released, and thousands more to have their sentences reduced.

Oosthuizen was employed as a kindergarten teacher on Koh Samui island after leaving her home in George in 2018.

When Oosthuizen lost her job, Tristan Nettles, her now estranged boyfriend, offered her a position at a restaurant called Hot Biscuit where she designed the branding for the business.

In October 2020, Oosthuizen accepted a package by delivery man on behalf of someone else and this was filled with 250 grams of MDMA (Ecstasy) and she was arrested.
