DEMANDS FROM BUSHIRI AND HIS WIFE

Prophet Bushiri is claiming that the police wanted R10 million bribe from him and his wife.

According to IOL he claims he chose not to bow down to corruption as he believed that the only reason the police were demanding this bribe was because it was part of jealousy that his ministry was growing too big.

“I just want to say, it’s so heartbreaking. As a man of God, I have forgiven them and their actions. I hope if they are humans that they will apologise over such behaviour. We are here to expose more things and to show them that actually they did all these things because I am a foreigner in South Africa. My ministry was growing too big, and this was part of xenophobic jealousy and more other things,” he said.

The couple appeared in court this week as they were implicated theft of R106 million purportedly through an entity called Rising Estate that allegedly took money from congregants under the guise of investing it and no monies were ever paid out to congregants.

CORRUPT PROPHET AND WIFE ARREST

The couple were arrested in October 2022 and were reported when they were smuggled out of South Africa in Malawian presidents private jet.

The Bushiris recently appeared in the Malawian court facing accusations of stealing R106 million through a company called Rising Estate.

This entity allegedly took money from congregants for investment but failed to pay out any funds.

Despite initial beliefs that the Bushiris were involved, a KPMG investigation revealed that none of the R106 million was deposited into their bank accounts.

The Bushiris matter still continues in court.
