Malawi President’s press team has dismissed rumours that Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and his wife Mary Bushiri were offered a ride on the President’s plane.

“The allegations that Prophet Shepherd Bushiri came on the same flight with the president is false.” Press Secretary Brian Banda has said.
According to Banda, Bushiri’s situation was not even discussed during talks between Chakwera and South African president Cyril Ramaphosa.

Bushiri is in Malawi, according to his official Facebook page. According to one of the bail conditions, Bushiri and his wife are not supposed to leave South Africa and are supposed to report to authorities.

South African Minister of Justice and Correctional Services, Ronald Lamola writing on his Twitter handle said:

“Malawi is a signatory of the SADC protocol & other legal instruments on extradition.We will not hesitate to invoke these provisions and instruments to assist law enforcement agencies to extradite fugitives of justice”
