Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and his wife will forfeit their residence in South Africa should they not present themselves before the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, reports the SABC.
Government spokesperson Phumla Williams says a warrant of arrest has been issued by the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court for the two fugitives, Shepherd Bushiri and his wife, Mary, who contravened their bail conditions when they failed to present themselves at the police station to confirm that they are still in the country.
They are charged with theft, fraud and money laundering involving over R100 million.
Williams says as South Africa and Malawi have a good working relationship, they have no reason to believe the Malawian government will not cooperate.
