Internet crowns Dr Nandipha with an Oscar award after emotional perfomance at trial

2y By Bongiwe Mati

Convicted murderer, rapist and prison escapee Thabo Bester appeared in court recently, together with his girlfriend Dr Nandipha Magudumana, her father and the rest of the people accused as masterminds in his prison escape.

Thabo and his lover Nandipha were arrested in Tanzania last year after local publication GroundUp published that he had not died in a prison fire like he was declared by the Department of Correctional Services.

The couple who was clearly on the run were brought back to the country and have been in police custody since then.

Appearing in court recently, Thabo requested to address the magistrate on a few things.

After stating his point about how badly he was being treated, citing that his human rights were infringed, the convicted criminal told the court that the people who were arrested with him did not deserve what they were going through as his case involved a lot of political minds.

As Thabo spoke, Nandipha was seen in an emotional state looking as if she was trying to hold back tears.

The internet wasn’t phased at all by the mother of two’s emotional stint, calling for her to be given an Oscar Award for her acting.

The video was shared by the news channel eNCA on their X (former Twitter).

In a video shared by local news medium MDN News, users commented:

One user noted how Nandipha’s tears failed her, commenting:
