Bushiri and his wife ordered to be extradited to SA for rape and financial crimes
A Malawian court has ordered the extradition of Shepherd Bushiri and Mary Bushiri to South Africa for charges including fraud and rape, according to the court ruling.
The couple fled to Malawi in 2020 after being released on bail in South Africa and failed to comply with bail conditions, as detailed in the extradition request.
The court ruled that the couple must remain in custody until they are handed over to South African authorities, according to Malawi’s chief resident magistrate’s court.
The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development described the ruling as emphasizing judicial independence and international cooperation between South Africa and Malawi.
