Dr Nandipha Magdumana today ignored Thabo Bester as he entered the dock at the Free State High Court.
The two talked about how comfortable they were with each other. Although they are believed to be lovers, Nandipha's attitude in court today gave a different perception to their love story.
#Tabo Bester and #nandifamagdumana I'm sure he was told to stop acting so casual in court because his defense strategy didn't match that.

During a brief court appearance, two lawyers representing accused number 8, Mr Zanda Moyo, who was Dr Nandifa's gardener and driver, and accused number 9, Mr Teboho Liholo, a former employee of the CCTV service provider. has withdrawn from the lawsuit.
This withdrawal forced the court to adjourn the case to June 5, 2024 for pre-trial hearing. Other defendants in the case are Dr Nandifa's father Zoril Sekeleni, former G4S employees Senohe Matsoala, Buti Masquela, Tiejo Makozza and France Makozza.
Mr Bester is currently being held in the C-Max section of the Kgosi Mampuru Correctional Center in Pretoria, while his girlfriend, Dr Nandipais, is currently being held in the Visa Makate Correctional Center in Kroonstad, Free State.
