‘40 YEARS IN PRISON FOR DR NANDIPHA MAGUDUMANA’

The legal expert also revealed that Thabo Bester’s accomplice Dr Nandipha could be sentenced to 40 years behind bars. 

EWN reveals that a delegation, comprising of police, Interpol South Africa, Home Affairs, and Correctional Services officials are currently in talks with authorities in Tanzania about sending the duo back to South Africa since their arrests last Saturday, 8 April. 

The Bonnie and Clyde duo, together with a Mozambican national remain under heavy police guard at a local prison facility.

Brigadier Athlenda Mathe, National Spokesperson from the SAPS told Cape Talk: “Deportation will be faster, especially for Thabo Bester. The Tanzanian law provides that persons that are convicted and sentenced in another country can be deported if found illegally in Tanzania – and this is the case with Bester. However, we are at a stage where authorities need to prove that this is Bester”.

“We are not opting for extradition because it is a longer process. South Africa will have to initiate it and it will be longer proceedings and the risk of escape is greater”.
