The nine accused in the Thabo Bester escape saga are expected to appear at the Bloemfontein Magistrates Court on Tuesday. In the last appearance, both the convicted murderer and rapist Thabo Bester and Dr Nandipha Magudumana appeared virtually from Kgosi Mampuru Correctional Facility and Kroonstad prison.
The other four accused have been denied bail while Natassja Jansen has been released on R10 000 bail.
