Celebrity doctor Dr. Nandipha Magudumana, scheduled for a court appearance on October 11th at the Bloemfontein Magistrates Court, experienced a dramatic turn when she reportedly fainted while awaiting her appearance in the holding cells. This incident has reverberated through social media, with many eagerly awaiting the legal proceedings.
Dr. Nandipha Magudumana’s lawyer, Machini Motloung, officially confirmed the incident and underscored the deplorable conditions of her detention. He received an urgent call to visit the Park Road Police Station upon learning of his client’s fainting. However, he found the situation upon arrival to be unacceptable. Motloung was denied direct access to her.
In her highly anticipated court appearance today, Magudumana was set to share the dock with her boyfriend, Thabo Bester. Marking their first joint court appearance. She faces a series of severe charges arising from her alleged involvement in aiding Bester’s elaborate escape from the Mangaung Correctional Facility in 2022, where he was serving a life sentence. Her charges include defeating the ends of justice, fraud, corruption, abetting an inmate’s escape from lawful custody, concealing an escaped offender, violating a corpse, aiding, and arson.
