The 40-year-old was specialising in open-heart surgery at the MedicClinic Hospital in Pretoria in 2019, it is unclear if she’s still practicing there at the moment.
She continues: “To me, when someone underestimates me, they are fuelling my resolve to go out there and be better.”

One thing I love about the heart is that with every beat, it tells you a story. It is up to you as a medical professional to be able to understand it's language and act appropriately. Yesterday we did another Open Heart Surgery and as usual God showed up. pic.twitter.com/BWjQb6jMiA

Dear Dr Pashy, can we talk frankly: Did Nandipha Magudumana steal your passport or you have it to her? Can you confirm or deny that you ran away from your house last week when @SAPoliceService wanted to raid it? Did you give money to Nandipha and Bester? #ThaboBesterArrested pic.twitter.com/UMwyGMk6Bh

Last year Dr Pashy’s younger sister was kidnapped. I’m sure Dr Nandipha and Bester had something to do with it #ThaboBester #ThaboBesterArrested #drnandi #NandiphaMagudumana
