The Malawi Chief Resident Magistrate Court has ordered that self-proclaimed prophet Shepherd Bushiri and his wife Mary Bushiri, be extradited to South Africa.
In 2020 the couple were granted bail pending trial but failed to comply with their bail conditions and fled the country in unknown circumstances. They were later found in Malawi.
South Africa authorities then submitted an extradition request to Malawi, seeking their return to stand trial on various charges.
These include rape, violating bail conditions, contravention of the Financial Advisory, and Intermediary Services Act, Banking Act, Civil Aviation Act, and the Immigration Act.
