"We don’t talk about his perspective enough. Can you imagine how heartbroken and shattered he must be? It’s one thing to cheat, but to cheat with a convicted serial rapist and murderer? And then going on the run and then becoming a prisoner and still being smitten by him?" she wrote.

The viral pictures on social media follow Nandipha's husband, Mkhuseli's, reaction to her affair with Bester in the Netflix docuseries, Beauty and the Bester.

Mkhuseli Magudumana, who has 2 daughters with Nandipha, has completely distanced himself from his wife.

In the docuseries, Nandipha's brother Nkosinathi Sekeleni reveals he called Nandipha’s husband and asked him how he's doing, how the kids are doing, and how he feels.

“He said he doesn’t know this Nandipha. This is not the Nandipha he married, who is the mother of his kids. Something that he can’t explain got hold of Nandipha.
