he NPA says convicted murderer and rapist Thabo Bester and his girlfriend made a virtual appearance in court on Tuesday because the department of justice and correctional services made an application, saying it would not be wise for the accused to be transported to court for a postponement.
Bester, Magudumana, her father Zolile Sekeleni, Senohe Motsoara, Teboho Lipholo, Motanyane Masukela, Tieho Makhotsa and Nastassja Jansen have been arrested in connection with Bester's daring escape from the Mangaung Correctional Centre in May 2022. "The issue was about transporting them for five and two hours, [respectively], just for a few minutes appearance. They [department] said they have to travel five and two hours to Bloemfontein just for a postponement and it would not be wise to drive there for a few minutes appearance," said Shuping.
Shuping said the application was only for Tuesday's court appearance. He said he does not know what room Magudumana was in during her appearance.
