Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development Mmamoloko Kubayi has noted the ruling of the High Court of Malawi, which has set aside the March 2025 order made by the Magistrates Court in Lilongwe, directing that self-proclaimed Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and his wife, Mary , be surrendered to the South African Government to face trial for various offences.
Kubayi, in a statement on Saturday, states that the South African Government is studying the judgment and will determine the next legal course of action once a full assessment of the ruling has been concluded.
The South African government submitted an extradition request to Malawi after Bushiri and his wife, Mary, fled South Africa to their homeland.
