South Africa’s protracted efforts to extradite popular evangelist preacher “Prophet” Shepherd Bushiri and his wife, Mary, from their home country Malawi should get a boost this week.
Bushiri and his wife were arrested in South Africa in October 2020 on charges of fraud and money laundering in amounts totalling about R102-million. They fled to their home country Malawi in November 2020, a few days after the Pretoria Central Magistrates’ Court granted them bail of R200,000 each. Redson Kapindu directed Chirwa to consider alternatives such as hearing the South African witnesses via video conferencing or enabling the witnesses to make depositions in South Africa.that although Judge Kapindu had given the magistrates’ court two options, he had also cast doubt on the security and reliability of witnesses testifying by video link.There can be tampering.
Bushiri would be entitled to appoint South African lawyers to appear in the South African court to cross-examine the witnesses. Sunduzwayo Madise, senior lecturer in law at the University of Malawi, agreed. He noted that he himself travelled to and from South Africa all the time so this should not present a problem.
