DR NANDIPHA MAGUDUMANA FAINTS BEFORE NEXT COURT APPEARANCE
Dr Nandipha Magudumana is supposed to be joining her boyfriend Thabo Bester on the dock for the first time today, EWN reported. However, speaking to the publication, her lawyer, confirmed that she is seemingly not feeling well and has recently fainted.
“I can confirm. She did faint. I got information that I should rush to the Park Road Police Station. I went there and upon my arrival, I was told to see her through some glasses which I obviously found to be really unacceptable,” Magudumana’s lawyer said.
“You are told your client has fainted and then you are refused direct access to see her. She is down in the police cells, in the basement. She’s on the floor. The conditions are appalling,” the lawyer added.
