Dr Nandipha Magudumana ignores Thabo Bester when she walked into the dock at the Free State High Court today.
The two have made headlines about their coziness towards each other; they are believed to be lovers but Nandipha’s attitude in court today gave a different perception to their love story.
#ThaboBester and #NandiphaMagudumana must’ve been told to stop acting all cosy in court because the defense strategy does not align with all that

During the brief appearance, two lawyers representing accused number 8 Zanda Moyo who was Dr Nandipha’s gardener and driver and accused 9, Teboho Lipholo who is a former employee of CCTV service provider withdrew from the case.
The withdrawal forced the court to postpone the mater to 5 June 2024 for pre-trial hearing. The other accused in the matter are Dr Nandipha’s father Zolile Sekeleni, former G4S employees Senohe Matsoara, Buti Masukela, Tieho Makhotsa and Frans Makhotsa.
Bester is currently held at the C-Max section of Pretoria’s Kgosi Mampuru Correctional Centre while his lover Dr Nandiphais currently being kept at the Bizzah Makhate Correctional Centre in Kroonstad in the Free State.
