Court nods to Bushiris extradition procedures to start
The High Court has ruled that the legal extradition review of Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) leader prophet Shepherd Bushiri and his wife Mary to South Africa be discontinued which means that the fierce legal battle for extradition procedures may now begin in earnest in the courts.

High Court Judge Fiona Mwale has made the ruling today in Lilongwe.
This follows a request by Director of Public Prosecution Steven Kayuni to withdraw a review application challenging Lilongwe principal resident magistrate Viva Nyimba’s decision to free the Bushiris unconditionally on the basis that there was no any warrant of arrest against them.
unconditional release of Bushiri and his wife, Mary by the magistrate court in Lilongwe.
In his argument, Kayuni said the court should withdraw the review applications as there is a formal extradition request from South Africa where the two were on bail for fraud, theft and corruption charges.
Lawyer representing the Bushiris, Wapona Kita told the court that they have no objection to the state’s request.
This made Judge Mwale to rule that the case be discontinued as both parties have agreed.
Kita has since said that his clients are satisfied with the withdrawal as the magistrate’s court decision still stands.
Meanwhile, the Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) has asked government to follow existing laws when processing the extradition of the he Bushiris, who fled South Africa amid charges of fraud and money laundering, observing that they have concerns of security that needs to be addressed.
Minister of Homeland Security Richard Chimwendo Banda said last week that he signed the extradition document following the laws governing extradition processes.

Can you expedite the process please? Lock them up asap, the longer you wait the more poor people they are going to scam. No govt should ever tolerate these two to milk money from their citizens. 2021 sitikufuna kumvanso za Bushiri again please, they belong to jail. They are a danger to society. You can see what they do to their zombie followers minds, even right here on their comments.
I dont see many backing Bushiri. Except ma diva osowa zochita omwe ali frustrated ndi current situation ku malawi oti zosapota ndale za alaka pano akufuna adumphire za bushiri. munya just join work force stop trolling people to earn a living. Ku supota anthu mu social media muchedwa. Bushiri ndi mbava iyi izinka
Azipitaa inde. Kumene ankabako anali ndi ife kuti timuthandize. Ankadya ndi ifeee. Kuba uyuyu kubera dzina la Yesu. Akamalizitse kudya vorosi ndi baked beans ku jozi. Akakumaneso ndi anthu omwe amawabera aja. Dziko limatembenuka waziona. Olo mutanena kuti ndine hater i will wear that title proudly uyuyu wabera anthu including abale anga
Those who say send them back send them back, Kodi akudya kunyumba kwanu.
Bushiri is smart just that people don’t understand this…. this guy is not going anywhere mark my words, he knows what he is doing
My friend, if at all Bushiri was smart he should have foreseen this coming a long time ago, he should have avoided fraudulent and theft activities. How can you call him smart when he has already lost a valuable house in RSA? he has so far lost lots of business, ask Bushiri, how much money he is making per day ever since he left RSA? He cannot travel to any country? He has lost his reputation? Bushiri is almost as finished as former President Peter Mutharika. Zafika poti nthawi ya njala ikafika mu January or February 2021, a Bushiriwa sangagawenso chimanga chawuleretu.
bodza…
Kuba, umbava ndi smart????
Yes please send them back before the boarders close, we don’t want them here
pls za bushili athane okha ndi ma south africans. anathawa basi azengedwe mlandu komweko.
ife tisataye nao nthawi
Bushiriz r going no where.no one went in ur pockets.u went urself.bushiri will go back only if those indianz are back finish.hes home and dry.
It seems as u just make noise without facts, I agree with u no 1 went into anyone’s pocket but tell me, what is the meaning of misrepresentation?
Apita ulira mokuwa ndi mbava ya polofeti yakoyi
Mbava tatopa nazo. Brilliant Dr. Steve Kayuni, Justice Fiona and Bulldozer. The unstoppable Force!
This is a straight forward matter. Under the laws of Malawi, Mum and Dad (as we fondly call them) can not be extradited. The enemies of the the prophet are now in pheeeeniii!
Who you are in status matters. That’s where people differ. Mum and Dad hold diplomatic passports. They can only be extradited if the alleged offense is murder or treason. Our spiritual parents did not commit any of these. SADC Protocols are not above the law (sorry ngombwax and mangochi kabwafu).
If it were you ngombwax , kabwafu or indeed other people who think like you, the government of Malawi would not even fly you to South Africa. It would have put you on the next Inter Cape bus.
So yes, some people are more equal than others.
Now Dr. Kayuni will have to sacrifice some young lawyer to lead the government legal team. Just as a matter of obligation. He has the legal opinion which advises him not to waste state money on this matter.
To all haters, instead of crying , join our church , worship with Major 1! ECG , we are not just a church, we are a movement, we are family !!
A full grown man /woman calling Bushiri their father. Some stupidity lurking in your brain my friend. Daftness.
its you who is stupid ,you will know the truth when the truth is revealed,Major1 is a Prophet of God,thats why he is being attacked left and right
No. profeti of Doom
Bauleni, yes ! We proudly call the prophet dad O.R. papa. And the prophetess mum.
DO you have the same problem when Catholics call a priest “bambo”? Or a bishop “Ambuye?”
I am sure you have never complained anywhere. What is your problem with us calling our spiritual father papa or daddy?
I thought there was a difference between having a diplomatic passport without diplomatic status and holding one with diplomatic status.
I might be wrong as I thought there was a difference between the two which the fugitives confirmed in SA that they hold diplomatic passports without diplomatic statuses.
Nde akuthawa chani. Mmmh mbava izi zivwerere. Zipumi biii kuthawa hahahhaha ngati yonatu hahahahhahahaha
Mum & Dad my arse!
He had a diplomatic passport but he was not a diplomat. What you are referring to is diplomats and it is because as a diplomat, you are on duty on behalf of your government. He did not commit his crimes while on government business. Educate yourself before making noise. No wonder you call this thief Mum and Dad. I feel sorry for your real mum and dad.
Bushiri will go no where. He will not go to South Africa. He will remain in Malawi. Now it’s when you are going to witness the battle in court. South Africa for 2yrs it failed to have enough evidence but investigating. Do you think in two months it’s when they have evidence? There in South Africa the state requested their Court to adjourn the case from August 2020 to January 2021. Asking for more time to find evidence. If it were in Malawi the case would be thrown out by the court by now.
Bravo Bushiri, bravo Wapona, Bravo Malawi Court.
Didn’t he say 2020 will be a great year, yet he barely saw any of this coming, from corona to the Nyekhwe slapping him around
since all of us have life,then its been a great year,my freind do you a greatest miracle in your life? the answer is simple:- Life is the greatest miracle,therefore the year year has been great,after all 2020 years firm was Gods open hands,sure braz munya simunati ndi nsanje yanu yopusayo,God will judge you
Think rationally and not emotionally. These two fugitives have a criminal case against them and intetnstional laws are being applied
On the other hand the Guptas currently do not have a criminal case however come March/June 2021 things might change when the Commission finishes its work and hands over th report your presidnet.
I’m sure you know this since you seem to be invested in our politics.
i think you have finished on a very right note ‘in our politics’…so this is about ‘your politics’…you have rightly and correctly vindicated our initial fears sir…….
Reading with comprehension is a skill.
Your fellow countryman “Makina” up above said something about Indians need to be brought back first, assuming he was referring to the Guptas.
Now the Gupta issue is a serious hot political potato which the Zondo Commission is trying by all means to cool it down. The Bushiris are just fugitives who means nothing in our political spectrum. So am not sure what vindication you are talking about that I have validated.
I have been on these pages for a while now and this has been the common thread here about Grace Mugabe, Pres Al Bashir, the Guptas to be brought back. Each case on its merit is the name of the game.
For those he swindled their money, he must realise that. ” ka Malawi aka nkachianinso; kopanda security ndi aka” for one to be secure. Many people in the past have fled South Africa in similar cases but the victims tracked and sorted them out badly.
Am smiling
The problem with this guy is that he does not get it. Look now, he is busy organising a function asking people to get tickets. What if he is arrested on the 30th? He must have greedy advisers or he is arrogant.
Scammer.
anazolowela kutenga ndalama za ulele. Amene walipilayo sangam’bwenzele ma function akakanika.
This is only right. As a country with international obligations, we should not be harbouring fugitives from the law. Bushiri needs to face the music and clear his name if he is innocent
Read the article again, slowly without prejudice.. Malawi courts havel given the PROPHETS what SA failed.. day in court to
Say their side of story with EVIDENCE..I hope te
Hawks have evidence to prove why Malawi government should hand over the PROPHETS… Journey to clear their names has just began…
He was in court already in South Africa, given bail awaiting trial to clear his name. What are you talking about. This is why we say too many mbuli are brainwashed by this guy. The man literally Anathawa ndende did u see Jesus running away when he was accused?
Evidence is glaring firstly he was in SA illegally and obtained South African citizenship illegally assisted by unpatriotic civil servants that deserve nothing but jail time.
The alleged economic crime of moving funds illegally has been proven that he has a case to answer hence some of the assets seized.
There are families that had been complaining allegedly of being defrauded by him using his investment company, lastly as a women I hope you stand with alleged rape victims cause.
Connect the dots, the cop in charge of investigating these cases was arrested amd released on bail for involvement in an alleged R500k bribe.
Werenga bwini ndiwe . Akuti awapange handover. What happens next zao. Umbuli matenda. Muwerenga article yake yomweyi kapena mwalemba yanu
very true.
Malawi as a country has benefited a lot from South Africa starting in 1906. Malawian villages have houses of corrugated iron sheets built from Teba jobs. Till now mangochi is a super district because of South Africa. Economically Malawi relies on trade with South Africa. We can say without any prejudice that South Africa is a home to many many Malawians.
Ndi nkhani ya Bushiri yomweyi?
Ineso ndadabwa
Ndifunsireni nane mm’bale wanga.
Inenso ndadabwa. Should we kill someone just because other people are working in South Africa? Let the laws take their role. Let’s see there’s a country that can extradite its citizen to a foreign country. Malawi won’t do that.
It’s about following the law not what you’re saying here
Ukundekufuna kutamika ndimavuto anthu amitimangati inundamene amazuzaazimai mabanja akatha aja inu kodi zinalizaulele zimene boma lamalawi limping in return mukuziziwa bwinotu osamangotengeka ndindalama tilindimalamulo mudzikomuno sizachambaukunena amazing ndipo iwesimmalawi kuchita kulikumbadzikolako chon how iwe basi ndili wa immigration nditakulanda chiphaso
As it should be Africa.
All African states ought to help each other and do so in an orderly manner governed by laws.
Send the bastard! send the bastard! this was the great voice coming from the matitude who came to witness the jailing of the thieving preacher, tatopa kumva za sizinan’toleyu, tamuperekeni tikhale pa mtendere
Yep! If anybody has to be released at all, it should be Barabbas!!
Ginimbi, MAkolo ako sanakulere bwino. Kapena zinali mbuzi zongokhalira kukachasu zija.
Munthu wamtundu bwanji ongokhalira kutukwana? You are a disgrace to the nation of Malawi. Better if your mother had aborted you ginimbi ! You stink
Oyipa athawa yekha…
Send the crooks back. Let them make their so called crossover from Malawi to South Africa.
like it or not bushiri is here to stay
