Breaking: Bushiris hand themselves over to Malawian authorities

In a statement posted to his Facebook page on Wednesday morning, Pastor Shepherd Bushiri has confirmed that he and his wife Mary are handing themselves over to the police in Malawi, after a warrant for their arrest was issued this week. They are both wanted in connection with an ongoing R100 million fraud cause in Pretoria.

Where are Shepherd Bushiri and his wife? Pair ‘give themselves up’

The pair, now infamously, managed to abscond from South Africa while out on bail. Since then, the Bushiris have argued that they skipped the country ‘out of fear’, claiming they would not be able to get a fair trial on our shores. The self-proclaimed prophet affirmed his beliefs on social media this morning:

“I need to underline that I came to Malawi not to seek political intervention. I came to Malawi to seek justice before the Constitution of the Republic of Malawi. I have a strong belief in the Constitution of Malawi because it protects its every citizen including my wife and I, and I cannot have a fair trial in South Africa.”

“Because of that, I will be presenting myself before law enforcement agencies this morning to legally explain and defend the decisions that I made to come to Malawi. I am innocent until proven guilty. As of now, there is no court in the world that has proven me guilty. I may be subjected by media and public trial but I maintain my innocence until proven guilty.”

Passports under the spotlight

On Tuesday, the Bushiris had their movements forensically analysed in Parliament. Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi came under fire, but gave as good as got. The ANC veteran was adamant that the power couple were in possession of five passports each, bamboozling officials in his department. Shepherd Bushiri has offered an explanation for this discrepancy:

“The Minister went on to state that my wife and I hold five different passports each. The impression is that these are passports with different names and details. Once again, this issue is before the High Court in South Africa. This statement by the Minister further strengthen my fear that I will not get a fair trial in South Africa.”

“For the record, my wife and have five passports each, one of which is a diplomatic passport and one is a normal passport. we submitted all these passports to the Investigating Officer in South Africa. Because we are frequent travelers due to the work of our ministry, the other passports are full, however, they have international visas and hence we kept them.”
