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.

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… Read more »

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… Read more »
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.
