The drama unfolded outside the Pretoria magistrates court on Friday when supporters of self-proclaimed prophet Shepherd Bushiri and his wife Mary circulated photos of the presiding magistrate and threatened to “send fire” to thwart her.
This as the application of bail for the couple and their co-defendant, Landiwe Ntlokwana, was delayed, resulting in them spending the weekend in police custody.
The magistrate said the formal request for bail will likely be heard on Monday.
This is after the defense team objected to a suggestion that the matter be forwarded to October 30.
As the crowd dispersed after an unsuccessful day, some supporters outside said they were going to thwart the magistrate through prayer until their “dad” was released.
The women, pointing to themselves and showing a WhatsApp photo of the magistrate, said they were going to “shoot” her until she released her “father.”
“We’re going to pray for her and frustrate her,” said one of the women in the crowd.
The disgruntled group accused the government of being corrupt and denying their “father” his freedom.
Thy demanded that Bushiri be released on bail on Monday.
