The trial of Thabo Bester and co-accused is set to start in the Free State High Court in February. This was decided during an appearance at the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.
Ahead of the hearing on Wednesday morning, Magudumana's lawyer, Machini Motlaung, told reporters that she had collapsed in the holding cells at the police station before being brought to court and was taken by ambulance for medical attention. Thabo Bester's new lawyer, Jan Loubser, introduced himself to the court. Kabelo Matee, who had previously represented Bester, told the court that he had not been excused as Bester's attorney of record and that his mandate had not been terminated.
Mathee, on behalf of Bester, later placed on record that some of his telephonic conversations with Bester were being recorded by the Department of Correctional Services which prohibited him from"openly" talking to his client.
