Tweeps were shocked to see how much Dr. Nandipha resembled her sister when she showed up in court on Monday, April 17 to defend her father and the doctor.
As soon as the father, Zolile Cornelius Sekeleni, appeared in the Bloemfontein magistrate’s court on Monday, April 17, he was given bail, and pictures of Dr. Nandipha Magudumana’s sister and mother went viral on social media.
Many people are hoping that the doctor’s sister does not end up like her older sibling, who has been connected to the “Facebook Rapist” Thabo Bester, despite the fact that not much is known about her.
@LadyMay_K: “She has a younger sister who looks just like her. How cute I hope she doesn’t follow in the footsteps of her sister by getting involved with criminals.”
@Obrian_Makwela: “This family has beautiful women I hope they don’t take after their father and Nandipha.”
@Silvah_7: “What if this is the real Nandi and the sister is the one behind bars? Anyway, what’s the sister’s name? We need to investigate”.
In the courtroom, Magudumana was seen blowing her sister and mother a kiss, who came to support despite the legal challenges and unwanted media attention.
Sowetan reports that the state opposed bail for Magudumana, former G4S prison warden Senohe Matsoara and former CCTV technician Teboho Lipholo and that the three will remain in custody until 3 May when they will be applying for bail.
Sikeleni’s bail was set at R10 000 and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Phaladi Supeng said the state decided to remove the charge of murder.
TWEEPS REACT TO DR NANDIPHA’S LOOKALIKE SISTER
@Collins_MacD: “I don’t think it is wise to post people who have done nothing other than being related to thugs”.
@Maza564772651: “I know you’re trying to update us. But dragging her family is not OK… No need to show us pics and videos they have done nothing wrong please.”
@Lisa_Naipi:”The lady in black uyafana noNandipha (looks like Nandipha).”
