JOHANNESBURG – The Malawi government said on Monday it was awaiting a formal communication from South Africa after self-proclaimed prophet Shepherd Bushiri skipped the country last week with his co-defendant wife Mary, violating the couple’s bail conditions.
The Pretoria Magistrates Court granted Bushiris a bail of 200,000 rand each after they were arrested for their alleged involvement in fraud and money laundering worth more than 100 million rand.
Talking to 702Clement Manyathela, Malawi’s Information Minister Gospel Kazako, said the Bushiri issue was not complicated as they were waiting for their South African counterparts to contact them.
“It is not for us to contact the South African government. At the moment, we are just waiting for something formal. No formal approach has been made to the government of Malawi.”
“Once we receive the necessary communication, we will certainly take the necessary actions and positions.”
Kazako said they have signed numerous protocols as a country and would follow the law.
“This is not complicated, we know that it is a matter of law, a matter of principle of law. We will do what the law tells us.
“There is nothing special about Bushiri as far as we are concerned. The Bushiri issue is not special.
“Officially, we do not know what he has done or what law he has broken. Everything we read about the media.”
He added that they are interested in knowing how the Bushiris entered Malawi, as this would help them to know where the weaknesses were on their borders.
