During high school, she began gaining experience by working at a pharmacy at the age of 16.
Adjacent to her school, there was a hospital where she dedicated her time to community service, further enhancing her qualifications for medical school admission.
Her educational journey led her to complete a Bachelor of Health Sciences and Biomedical Sciences, with a specialization in pharmacology and medical sciences. Subsequently, she continued her studies, obtaining an MBBCH degree and entering the workforce as a junior intern.The video of this interview resurfaced on social media just hours after she was detained in a police holding cell, marking a dramatic turn of events in April 2023.
Dr. Nandipha Magudumana found herself arrested in Tanzania, alongside her fugitive boyfriend, Thabo Bester, who had evaded prison by faking his own death in 2022. Magudumana now faces a range of charges, including fraud, obstructing justice, violating a body, aiding and abetting an inmate’s escape from lawful custody, corruption, and arson.
