A short clip shared by @MDNnewss shows Dr Nandipha bowing her head and muttering a few words with her eyes closed.

It's unclear what she was praying about but her demeanour in court had changed drastically since she sat next to her lover, Bester.

Magudumana hopes to go home soon and told the court that she can only afford R10 000 bail. However, the state has opposed bail for Magdumana out of fear that she will flee the country if released, reports TimesLIVE.
