Cele: Bushiris shouldn’t have been granted bail
JOHANNESBURG – Police Minister Bheki Cele said authorities are probing how self-proclaimed prophet Shepherd Bushiri and his wife skipped the country.
Cele said he believes the couple should not have been granted bail.
The Bushiris contravened their bail conditions as they are not allowed to travel outside South Africa.
Last week, the couple was granted bail of R200,000 each.
In a statement, the government said they have started a process to extradite Bushiri using the SADC extradition laws.
They’re facing charges of theft, money laundering and fraud in connection with an alleged R100-million investment scheme.
