Earlier, Briefly News reported that convicted murderer and sexual offender Thabo Bester and his lover Dr Nandipha Magudumana were back in the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court and shared the dock for the first time since their arrest.

It seemed like a happy reunion for the long-lost lovers as the couple exchanged longing looks, chatted, and laughed with one another.

The court appearance on Tuesday morning, 8 August, was the first time the pair had seen each other since they were extradited from Tanzania after their arrest in April.
