Dr Nandipha Magudumana's legal team "dismayed but not discouraged" by Magistrate's decision to deny her bail

Dr Nandipha Magudumana will remain in custody after her bail application was denied by the Bloemfontein magistrate court. Magistrate Estelle de Lange says Magudumana played a huge role in the escape of her lover, Thabo Bester and can easily tamper with the evidence. Magudumana is facing charges of assisting an inmate to escape from lawful custody, violation of a dead body and defeating the ends of justice. De Lange added that Magudumana will easily intimidate her co-accused in the matter, as they have strong relationships and that she is a definite flight risk as she lied about her passports.
