Malawi’s Homeland Security Minister Richard Chimwendo-Banda has signed extradition papers for the leader of Enlightened Christian Gathering Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and his wife Mary.
The self proclaimed prophet and his wife fled South Africa over a month ago, they were out on R200 000 bail each on fraud, theft and money laundering charges.
The extradition request papers were sent to Malawi early this month. The court will have to issue a warrant of arrest for the couple to be detained and be sent back to South Africa.
