Reports have emerged that Dr. Nandipha Magudumana’s father has been arrested, allegedly on the same day as his daughter's arrest in Tanzania. TimesLIVE reports that the father of the disgraced doctor was brought in for questioning on April 8, and it is speculated that police are looking to see if the father can share any helpful information on Thabo Bester's escape from Mangaung Correctional Centre in 2011.
This arrest follows police minister Bheki Cele's media briefing where he states that both Thabo Bester and Dr. Nandipha Magudumana could not possibly have acted alone on this escape which has gripped the world.
“We believe that the doctor herself could not have done it alone – this thing of keeping him safe and all that running. But if police are part of a cover-up, then we will find them. But I believe that a big portion of police, they just try to do their work and fly below the radar.”
However, ENCA reports that not only is her father being interrogated, Nandipha's entire family which includes her mother and brother.
The plot continues to thicken on this case. Thabo Bester and Nandipha were arrested in Tanzani for allegedly being in the country illegally. They were also apparently using fakes names.
Tweeps have had enough of people saying Nandipha is innocent in this entire crime.
Listen , don’t any of you even dare make Dr Nandipha Magudumana a victim here! She is a fucking criminal , she must be punished and dragged like the evil piece of shit she is!
