Celebrity doctor Dr Mmereka Ntshani, also known as Dr Pashy, filed fraud charges against Dr Nandipha Magudumana and her convicted murderer and rapist lover, Thabo Bester.
Dr Pashy accuses ex-friend Dr Nandipha of fraud
As reported by Zimoja, the case was opened on Thursday, 20 April 2023, at a Sandton police station and has since been transferred to the Sinoville district for further investigations.
From what we understand, Dr Pashy claims the infamous couple defrauded her of an undisclosed amount of money through fraud and forgery.
The case comes after two of Dr Pashy’s passports were found in Dr Nandipha’s possession when she and Bester were arrested in Arusha, Tanzania two weeks ago.
Police questioned the anesthesiologist and discovered that Dr Pashy gave the passports to Magudumana and Bester, who was calling himself ‘TK Nkwana’ at the time, to help her apply for a job in America.
Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi previously stated at a media briefing held a week ago that they did not believe Dr Nandipha stole the passports.
“The story that Magudumana assumed the identity of Dr Ntshani is not true. She never assumed that identity. She just carried the two passports and never used them. At no stage did she tell anyone she was Dr Ntshani,” he said.
Dr Nandipha and Bester were arrested in Tanzania while headed for the Kenyan border. They were deported back into the country and made their first appearances at the Bloemfontein Magistrates Court last week facing different charges.
Since their arrest, four other people, including Nandipha’s father Zolile Sekeleni, were arrested and charged with assisting Bester to escape from prison and defeating the ends of justice.
Magudumana, Senohe Motsoara, Motanyane Masukela and Tebogo Lipholo will appear in court on Wednesday, 3 May 2023, coincidentally on the anniversary of Bester’s daring prison escape.
Sekeleni’s court appearance will be alongside Bester on 16 May 2023.
