She's accused of helping her partner, murder and rape convict, Thabo Bester, escape from prison in Mangaung. 

 

The couple was caught in Tanzania earlier this year. 

 

But in a shocking turn of events, her lawyer Frans Dlamini told the court on Tuesday that the deregistered doctor was kidnapped and driven out of the country in a car.

The State's Sello Matlhoko, who is opposing bail, dismissed her claim. 

 

"Through thorough investigation, I have established that the applicant was the one who drove from Johannesburg to fetch accused number five from KwaZulu-Natal after his escape.

 

"As stated in paragraph seven, the applicant and the accused five rented out a house together. They are both signatories to the lease agreement."
