Property company linked to doctor's killer boyfriend faces fraud ...
A property company owned by Dr Nandipha Magudumana and her boyfriend, Thabo Bester, who is now on the run after being charged with her murder, is currently facing fraud charges. The company, Arum Holdings (Pty) Limited, is accused of dodging reimbursements to a doctor totalling over R3 million for a house they failed to build. The judge presiding over the case has alerted law enforcement agencies in South Africa.
Court documents have revealed that Magudumana and Bester, using the alias “Katlego Nkwana,” signed a contract worth R5 million for the completion of a house in January 2022. However, Bester escaped less than five months after signing the contract. According to a report by News24.com, Magudumana’s property company failed to reimburse the doctor and now faces legal action.
Legal proceedingsThe Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg, acting on behalf of the doctor, requested that Magudumana, the National Director of Public Prosecutions Shamila Batohi, the Financial Intelligence Centre, and the State Attorney be served with the application against Arum Holdings (Pty) Limited. The case is set to be heard again on Tuesday to determine the next steps in pursuing reimbursement for the doctor’s losses.
