Cape Town – Convicted murderer and rapist Thabo Bester’s partner, Dr Nandipha Magudumana and her co-accused, G4S employees Senohe Matsoara and Tebogo James Lipholo, are expected to apply for bail in the Bloemfontein magistrate’s court on Wednesday.
They are facing, among others, charges of murder, aiding the escape of a prisoner, and defeating the ends of justice in the dramatic escape of Bester from the maximum secret Mangaung Correctional Centre exactly a year ago.
During Magudumana’s last appearance in court, the State said they intended to oppose their bail.
Her father Zolile Sekeleni has already been granted bail.
Bester and Magudumana were arrested in the Tanzanian city of Arusha in April, possibly trying to make their way to Kenya along with their Mozambican accomplice Zakaria Alberto.
