Celebrity doctor Mmereka Patience Martha Ntshani – popularly known as Dr Pashy – is in the spotlight after being named as the latest high-profile individual linked to the Thabo Bester saga.
According to reports, Dr Nandipha Magudumana (Bester’s girlfriend) was found in possession of several passports when she was arrested in Tanzania with Bester over the weekend. Among those passports in Dr Nandipha’s possession were two of Dr Pashy’s passports.
Dr Pashy then issued a statement claiming that she was seeking legal advice on the matter, alleging that her identity had been stolen. She named Dr Nandipha as the perpetrator of that alleged crime.
In her statement, she addressed social media chatter about her involvement in a women empowerment event hosted by Magudumana and claimed she agreed to be part of the event solely for the purposes of “inspiring, empowering and uplifting women and children”.
Lastly, she denied ever receiving funds from Magudumana or any organisations linked to her.
