Bushiri's plot thickens
24 November 2020
South Africa – Owner of the well-known Sparkling Waters Hotel and Spa resort and self-proclaimed prophet Shephard Bushiri and his wife Mary had their multimillion-rand Centurion property forfeited to the state, after they failed to appear in court. Police authorities in Malawi have confirmed the arrest of Shepherd and Mary Bushiri, a few days after they skipped bail in South Africa and fled to the neighbouring country. However, the Malawian government was widely criticised on social media for employing delaying tactics to extradite the Bushiris. The preacher is wanted in South Africa on theft, fraud and money-laundering charges to the tune of R102 million.
