Dr Nandipha Magudumana's court appearances with makeup, hair and nails done while behind bars have had tweeps talking, and content creators have been creating spoofs of the celebrity aesthetics doctor.

Nandipha and five other accused, who are linked to the convicted rapist and murderer Thabo Bester, recently appeared at the Bloemfontein magistrate's court for their bail application.

Nandipha donned a black two-piece Nike tracksuit, wore bold red lipstick and had freshly manicured nails. 

Social media sensation and media personality, Coconut Kelz, was crowned “TikToker of the week” when she shared a spoof video of Nandipha getting ready for a court appearance.

The correctional services department shed light on Nandipha's “glammed up looks”, saying an accused person who has not been sentenced has access to their belongings when they go to court. They also have access to hair salon services in prison run by inmates, which are part of training programmes.

“There are accredited skills development programmes in the correctional centres that help inmates to acquire skills that will make them employable or self-employed,” the department's spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo told SABC News.
