A Showmax real-life docu-series based on the escape of convicted criminal Thabo Bester (who was said to have died when a fire erupted in his prison cell), and his alleged girlfriend Dr Nandipha Magudumana aired its recently aired its trailer getting many internet users excited for its release.
Nandipha and Thabo’s relationship was brought to light when pictures of them were leaked on the internet after they were spotted at a local grocery store buying food. According to news publication GroundUp, the person who took the pictures wasn’t aware that the person who was with the popular doctor was the convicted rapist and murderer.
The publication states that the lady was taking pictures of the rumoured couple to show her friend that she spotted Nandipha with a man who wasn’t her husband.
