Convicted rapist and murderer Thabo Bester, who escaped from prison on May 3, 2022, has been running a fraudulent construction company called Arum Properties with celebrity doctor Nandipha Magudumana. The couple convinced various people to pay millions of rand for construction projects, but they never managed to deliver the goods. The Arum Properties client told GroundUp that shortly after registering and paying their deposits, they began to realize something was wrong.
What is Kgosi Mampuru II?
We have a recording of a phone call between Bester and a client of Arum Properties from two weeks ago. Baster and Magudumana have since fled their rented mansion in Sandton. Over the past few years, we have spoken with several people who have come across the Arum properties. Baster was introduced to them, most of the time by Magudumana herself, calling herself TK Nkwana. He signed legal documents using a driver’s license and an identification document with an identification number that does not exist in the records of the Department of the Interior.
In July 2022, a person told GroundUp that they met TK and they were offered payment to fly to Cape Town and take pictures posing in houses that Arum Properties was allegedly renovating. But they realized that something was wrong and refused. TK used social media accounts linked to Magudumana, including Arum Properties and media, to approach models or people with large social media followings.

The Department of Correctional Services has refuted claims that convicted murderer and rapist Thabo Bester has been returned to the Correctional Facility. Bester made his appearance at Bloemfontein Magistrates Court on Friday for the first time since his escape from Manguang prison in May 2022. The Department also clarified that no complaints had been filed regarding threats to Bester’s life, adding that Bester was eating his meals.
After GroundUp reported that Bester was alive, he and Magudumana fled the mansion they were renting in Sandton. The Sunday Times reported that the couple had been praying for Rs 40,000 a month in rent, but were behind on their payments. The property manager told them that the couple had also rented the house next door, which Arum Properties was renovating. The owner had approved the renovation and had been led to believe that the house would become Magudumana’s new wellness clinic.
Thanks for being a patient reader.
