Feston Malekezo unpacking the Bushiri extradition case
March 17, 2025
Fugitives Shepherd and Mary Bushiri have denied any wrongdoing in relation to the rape, fraud, and money laundering allegations against them.
The couple is set to appeal a Malawi court ruling that approved their extradition to South Africa, where they face trial.
The leader of the Enlightened Christian Gathering Church has strongly criticized South Africa’s criminal justice system, claiming they were denied fair treatment during their time in the country.
But how is public opinion in Malawi shaping up around these developments? What are the chances of Bushiri’s extradition, and how much protection is he receiving from Malawian authorities?
To unpack this, we were joined by journalist Feston Malekezo, who has been closely following the story from Malawi.
