Nandipha Magudumana’s Instagram account has suddenly gone private – leading many to believe the woman accused of being Thabo Bester’s co-conspirator has “something to hide.”

The celebrity aesthetics doctor has been accused of running fraudulent businesses alongside Bester. She’s also been lamented for practising illegally by the Health Practitioners Council of South Africa.

Following her court appearance this week, Nandipha has been formally charged with murder due to “a number of bodies found.” She’s also facing charges of aiding and abetting Bester’s escape and violation of corpses and fraud, reports News24.

Could her Instagram account be holding key evidence?

NANDIPHA ADMONISHES ‘BOGUS DOCTOR’

Meanwhile, Dr Nandipha has been accused of previously calling out a fraudulent individual known as “Doctor Bongz” – for duping the public.

During the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, Dr Bongz – who claimed to be a surgeon – was accused of scamming members of the public.

However, his “lies” about being a medical professional were exposed by Sindi van Zyl, also a Dr, who died in 2022.

In a Twitter thread, Sindi claimed that Dr Bongz’s name could not be found on the HPCSA website. She also accused him of going as far as to wear “fake scrubs” to keep up his persona.

One Twitter user responded, posting: “This is triggering. I can write a book about how that guy conned me and a couple of ladies. The stories he told us. I wish he can be stopped, really”.

Nandipha – who has since been suspended from the HPCSA – then roped herself into the conversation, adding: “Thank you for this”
