MZANSI ON DR NANDIPHA MAGUDUMANA FAINTING BEFORE NEXT HER COURT APPEARANCE
Dr Nandipha Magudumana’s lawyer, Machini Motloung has confirmed that his client has indeed fainted and said the conditions in which she is kept are just “appalling”.
“I can confirm. She did faint. I got information that I should rush to the Park Road Police Station. I went there and upon my arrival, I was told to see her through some glasses which I obviously found to be really unacceptable… You are told your client has fainted and then you are refused direct access to see her. She is down in the police cells, in the basement. She’s on the floor. The conditions are appalling,” Magudumana’s lawyer said.
