WATCH: Dr Nandi in court with designer bag, new hairdo, and full face beat

‘Prison princess’: Dr Nandi showed up in court today with a full face of makeup, accessories, and designer bags worth thousands.

n Wednesday, 21 February this week, disgraced celebrity doctor, Nandipha “Dr Nandi” Magudumana and her co-accused Thabo Bester, headed to court for a pre-trial conference. As always, she was all dolled up with her hair in a new hairstyle and a full face of makeup. She also carried a designer purse and backpack worth thousands of rands.

Unlike her previous appearance, Dr Nandi appeared to be pretty sullen and refused to look up at the numerous cameras pointed her way.

DR NANDI AND THABO BESTER BACK IN COURT

Notorious ‘Facebook Rapist’ Thabo Bester and his lover Dr Nandi are arguably one of South Africa’s most cunning criminal couples.

The pair stunned locals with their incredulous prison break, illegal — and highly successful — business schemes and then a daring escape from SA.

Their story sounds like something from a Hollywood movie and continues to stun South Africans who have watched everything unfold.

In September last year, Dr Nandi applied for bail which was denied. On Wednesday this week, she and eight other accused have appeared in court for a pre-trial conference.

NEVER LOOKING LIKE HER PROBLEMS?

Sitting in the dock, she wore a new hairstyle with her edges expertly “laid.” She also wore a full face of makeup, which included eye shadow and her signature red lipstick.

Her nails were also recently done.

The once-popular doctor also rocked a designer backpack worth over R30 000 as well as a designer purse and jacket.

While she has made quite the effort to look well-out together, social media users have commented that she does not appear to be as healthy as before.

Many say that stress is finally getting to her.

“She lost weight, her skin is lighter skinned than she was. Stress is eating her,” an X user said.
