The girlfriend of murderer and convicted rapist Thabo Bester, Dr. Nandipha Magudumana, won’t be physically present in court in Bloemfontein.

 

 

 

For allegedly helping and abetting the convict’s spectacular escape from Mangaung Correctional Center in May of last year, Magudumana and her seven co-accused, including Bester, were scheduled to face in court on Tuesday.

Senior SABC journalist, Chriselda Zozi Lewis, took to her Twitter account to update South Africans on what is happening in the courtroom. She tweeted, “BREAKING| Dr Nandipha Magudumana is appearing via Zoom. She is not applying for bail again today. Her case has also been postponed to June 20th.”

A Twitter user revealed that she is not certain that Dr Nandipha is in the country at the moment: @OratileMogoje left this comment on the tweet, “Chances are she’s definitely not in the country.”
