Dr Nandipha Magudumana played a pivotal role in the Thabo Bester escape from prison
At the time when the prison fire broke out, where Thabo Bester was said to have died, Dr Nandipha is the one that approached the prison, asking for his body to be released to her, as Thabo Bester customary wife.
We now know, that the body that burned was not Thabo Bester, and that Dr Nandipha couldn’t have been his customary wife, as she was still married to Dr Mkhuseli Magudumana at the time.
We also now know that the body that burned in that prison cell, was dead before it was placed . . . which sparks the question that everyone wants to know, whose body was it that was used as a decoy? The identity of the man that was burned beyond recognition is still unknown.
