It looks like the tables have turned as Dr Nandipha Magudumana, who was always lovey dovey with one of her co-accused and lover Thabo Bester, ignored him when she walked into the dock at the Free State High Court today. Bester, Dr Nandipha and seven other accused appeared at the Free State High Court today in the matter of Bester’s escape. Seated next to one of the accused Zanda Moyo, Bester kept grinding and smiling at Dr Nandipha as she walked in but the disgraced doctor walked by without looking at him and hugged her father who is also an accused in the matter. Dr Nandipha had claimed during her bid to be released that Bester forced her to go to Tanzania.Nandipha Magudumana, Thabo Bester’s putative accomplice in crime, has been accused of acting after photos of her reading her Bible in court went viral.

 

 

According to the “court of public opinion,” the famous doctor, who is accused of facilitating an escape, fraud, corruption, and violating bodies, has sought to appeal to the court’s sympathies.

Nandipha Magudumana and Thabo Bester appeared before the Free State High Court for the first time in 2024 on Wednesday, February 21.While court watchers expected a loving reunion between Bester and Magudumana, they were surprised with a cold response. The 35-year-old doctor totally avoided her putative lover, whom she is suspected of assisting escape jail in 2022.

Instead, she chose to read her Bible in silence.However, social media users were not impressed by the “act”…

@NativeOfMzantsi: “Nandipha Magudumana is reading the Bible while sitting in the dock. Why do thugs like pretending to be religious, though? Where’s the ‘spirit’ when they commit their evil deeds?”

@Naledi_LilStar: “Nandipha is reading a Bible in court! Which strategy is this one? Will it go to ‘remorse’? At mitigation of sentence? ‘She has found God?’”
