Dr Nandipha Magudumana Denied Bail
Dr Nandipha Magudumana Denied Bail. This is the day that so many people who follow the Thabo Bester case have been waiting for in anticipation. It is the day where Dr Nandipha Magudumana was going to know the outcome of her bail application.
Two weeks back the celebrity doctor, entrepreneur and socialite started with her bail application. This was in relation to her alleged role in the escape of her partner, Thabo Bester from Mangaung Correctional Centre. Magudumana is one of the 12 accused in the Bester escape case and was arrested in April, in Arusha, Tanzania. Dr Magudumana told the court that she left the country for Tanzania against her own will. She states that she was fearful of Bester, who instructed by Bester to get into a car. She complied with his instructions and taken out of the country against her will. According to Magudumana, she did not voluntarily depart.
Looking all sorts of pretty with edges laid back, make up on fleek, rocking a white Nike T-shirt, Dr Magudumana was all ready for her bail hearing on Monday. Sadly for Magudumana though, Magistrate Estelle de Lange has denied her bail. The court finds her a flight risk. de Lange stated that granting Magudumana bail will enable her to facilitate another escape. She has also failed to satisfy the court that the interests of justice permit her release on bail.
