Court sustains ‘no arrest  but summons’ for Bushiri: Extradition hearing set for March 8

Magistrate Court in Lilongwe has on Wednesday sustained its  20th November  2020 ruling which said that Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and wife, Mary, should appear before their extradition hearings through a way of summon not arrest.

Prophet Bushiri: Will not face arrest but summoned to court for extradition hearing

The Court has also directed the extradition hearings begins on March and  Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG)  church head  Prophet Bushiri and wife, Mary, should appear by way of summon not arrest.

State—through the Director of Public Prosecution—had applied to court to have the Bushiris arrested as they wait for the hearing but in his ruling Magistrate Viva Nyimba stopped the execution of the arrest and ordered that the Bushiri be summoned on March 8 for the beginning of their hearing.

Lawyer for Bushiri Wapona Kita said they welcome the ruling as the court has given a clear direction on the case.

“I am also happy that the State and the Court has assured us that my clients won’t face arrest but they will be appearing before the Court through a way of summons,” he said.

Director of Public Prosecutions Steve Kayuni also said the State is ready and is happy that the Court has given clear directions.

  1. Musiyeni mzanu adyerere. Pitani kamweni tiyi wa mkodzo. Bushiri is not a criiminal. The only criminal is the dunce cap judge who signed his papers. Thats the criminal..

  2. I doubt the Major, the Papa, the Father, the Chipikiro, the Gama the Bushiri, the Shepherd, the fugitive yooo to many names sounds like a really crook with 5 Passports… is innocent. No no no if he was a man he claims he is he could not have run for his life. Pastor boarder jumping running to save his life.. ayikhona. What happened to the one who sent him. What happened to Bushiri who said “I will not leave you elone(alone)” to his congregation. Heee where is that bold speaking boy, because we are left with a coward who is now hiding under the dress of Mary and the beards of the Malawian Chiefs who are trying to override and nullify the Malawian Judiciary principles. Bushiri be like the character of David in the Bible who in the moments of darkness he turned to the Lord his God. Bushiri showed if falsehood by turning to the Government of Malawi for help. What happened to his God. He claimed that he no longer lives but Christ lives in him quoting the bible verse by St. Paul in Galatians of course. What happened to all that mi broer. Why trust the council of man( Malawian Government), yet the scriptures are clear regarding that. When he jumped the boarders to get back home the boy had forgotten about God. Why did you not take the tablet and take capture miracles in the spirit like those theatrics you were doing in church telling people you are capturing a baby. Alikho iqili elake lazikhotha emhlane. We all want you to go back to RSA and prove your innocence that’s all.

  3. Yee Most people or followers of Bushiri are talking about fair trail, yes it will be fair because the guilty will be charged accordingly if he does not have enough evidence to prove his and her innocence.

  4. Something is wrong with Viva Nyimba. Satha bwinotu. Munthu wa extradition amayenera kumangidwa

  5. Some is wrong here. They want Bushiri to continue kubera anthu here in Malawi. The good thing is that Malawians are poor and mbava iyi would not make as much as he made in South Africa. The South Africans are not clever people. They are even fooled by false sangomas from Malawi. They believe in muti too much and think that Malawian muti is strong. Bushiri took advantage and swindled millions of kwachas. Criminals must face the music.

  6. Kodi Bushiri anawapisa mthumba ma Zola amenewa???mmesa amatengeka okha ndi ulesi wawowo kuzolowera easy money….anangowawuza kuti kuli forex trading uku….dzatengeka forex trading ndi ka chizungu komwe timadryera makape osagera

  7. It will be adjourned to 15 june….2021….then 8 August 2021…..then 19 November 21…..then February 12 2022

  8. A Malawi chitani download SADC Protocol on extradition. It’s available free online. Mukatero pitani ku page 5 ndipo werengani ma Articles 4 ndi 5. Bushiri ali ndi zifukwa zokwanira zochitira challenge extradition request. Ndipo ma court athu awunikire nkhanizi mofatsa chifukwa fair trial is a precondition and a right.

  9. He is just delaying the inevitable. He will eventually be sent to RSA, charged and looked up for many years with his partner in crime.
    They are both crooks, thieves and fraudsters. We are eagerly waiting to hear how you crossed the Limpopo.

  10. RSA helped malawi on Chanthunya issue. Inuyo amalawi mukufuna kuchengela. Ma court akufuna kumuteteza crook Bushili. The relationship of malawi and RSA will be affected because of Bushili and Chakwela. Note that there are many malawians in RSA, let them not suffer because of this crook and failed president.

  11. The ruling makes a lot of sense. Why should they be arrested as if they have committed a crime in Malawi? They will only be put in custody waiting to be sent to South Africa if they fail to convince the the court that they should not be sent back to face the music in South Africa.

  12. This is a tumbuka affair. Kayuni, kita, bushiri, nyimba. Lets move the Hearing to Mzuzu. By the way, only a fool can extradite its national to a foreign land. If SA wants they Can charge bushiris in Malawi Courts

    1. He is accused of breaking South African laws in South Africa. Why should he stands trial in Malawi?

    2. In the bilateral agreements between Sa and Malawi there is no provision for cross-border trials. However they do have an extradition treaty in place, which is what the current process is about

    3. The thieving PROFAKE committed the crimes in South Aftica. He was not invited to move to SA.
