Pretoria – The legal showdown between two of the country’s most famous “prophets”, Shepherd Bushiri and Paseka ‘Mboro’ Motsoeneng, will begin on Wednesday.
In the case, Bushiri is trying to gag Mboro from badmouthing him about Bushiri’s alleged commodity scam.
Bushiri requests an urgent order against Mboro and Felicia Sibeko, who claimed that Bushiri defrauded her.
As part of the gag order he seeks, he also wants the Daily Sun to immediately remove all “defamatory statements” made by them about him, from social media and print.
In part B of the application, it is stated that Bushiri’s legal team, which is headed by lawyer Dali Mpofu, will return at a later stage to the court for an order declaring that all these statements are defamatory of Bushiri.
During Part B he will also ask that Bushiri, Sibeko and the newspaper apologize to him. Later, he will claim one million rand in damages for “tarnishing his good name and reputation.”
The urgent gag request was called to court on Tuesday, but it was agreed that the matter would resume on Wednesday.
Dressed in a white suit, Sibeko said outside court that he did not have a revenge against Bushiri, but was ready to face him in an attempt to protect the vulnerable.
Bushiri, who called himself a prophet, businessman and humanitarian in his court documents, objected, among other things, to a “press alert” issued by Sibeko, in which he said: “My biggest mistake was trusting in Prophet Bushiri investing R130,000 in his gold commodity and currency scheme. “
He claimed that “Papa Bushiri”, with whom he believed and prayed, took his money.
Audio recordings of these accusations against Bushiri were also posted on social media.
Bushiri said he did not take their money and during 2017, he invested in an unstructured currency and commodity trading scheme.
“At the time I believed it was a legitimate plan.”
He said it promised lucrative returns on investment, which “naturally appealed to him.”
He said that he had since discovered that it was not legitimate and that he was also a victim and not the mastermind of the scheme.
