The celebrity aesthetics professional was arrested alongside Bester in Tanzania on Friday, 7 April. The controversial couple, dubbed “Mzansi’s Bonnie and Clyde” are expected to be deported back to South Africa.

The tweep later defended her words, adding in a separate tweet: “I personally don’t like bad boys; I like them shy and sweet. On my tweet I complimented his appearance, not his evil deeds. I don’t understand why people are angry like it’s a lie that he’s handsome”.

DR NANDIPHA GETS DRAGGED ON TWITTER TOO

Meanwhile, Dr Nandipha has also found herself facing a court of public opinion on Twitter. South Africans have expressed their disappointment and disapproval at the woman’s involvement with Bester.

Nandipha is the owner of Sandton business Optimum Medical Aesthetics Solution, which has a list of celebrity clientele. On the flip side, Bester is a convicted rapist, murderer, and fraudster.
