Dr Nandipha’s bail hearing resumes on Monday

The bail hearing of Dr. Nandipha Magudumana is set to resume today in the Bloemfontein Magistrates’ Court, as her legal team continues to contest the state’s vehement opposition to her bail application. Magudumana faces a series of charges, including fraud, corruption, and aiding an inmate in escaping from prison.

Last week, Magudumana’s lawyer, Frans Dlamini, expressed concern that the state’s fierce resistance to her bail application did not serve the interests of justice. The ongoing legal battle centers on the circumstances surrounding her arrest and the charges brought against her.

Earlier this year, Magudumana made headlines when she was apprehended in Tanzania alongside her boyfriend, Thabo Bester, a convicted rapist and murderer who had escaped from the Mangaung Correctional Centre in May 2022. These events led to her arrest and subsequent legal proceedings.
