The Bloemfontein Magistrates Court sat down for a brief appearance of Dr Nandipha Magudumana and five other co-accused in the case of Facebook rapist and murderer, Thabo Bester.

According to Chriselda Lewis of the SABC, Dr Nandipha's lawyers approached the state prior to their client's court appearance. The lawyers informed the state of the new information that has come to light, which they still need ample time to respond to, before their clients bail application.

"#ThaboBester The state says #DrNandiphaMagudumana's lawyer approached them THIS MORNING and there is a written request for some information which they have to respond to. #sabcnews" wrote Chriselda Lewis, SABC
The bail application for Dr Nandipha and the other five co-accused have been remanded for the 16 May, 2023, which is the day Thabo Bester will be applying for bail as well.

"BREAKING #ThaboBester #DrNandiphaMagudumana is NOT proceeding with her bail application today, her lawyers say. 'We are not abandoning it. Let her matter be rolled over to May 16 as there is new material that has come to light which needs to be ventilated. '" wrote Chriselda Lewis, SABC
However, Bester's legal representative have since abandoned him due to failure to settle his legal costs. Bester is expected to have a new legal representative when he appears at the Magistrates Court Court on the 16 May, 2023.

"JUST IN #ThaboBester I have just received news that the legal team which was due to go on record/represent #ThaboBester on May 16 , will no longer represent him due to 'failure to pay legal costs'. It seems Bester will now need to find a new legal team." wrote Chriselda Lewis, SABC
