Bushiri co-accused trial to begin on racketeering charges

# The National Prosecuting Authority says the trial of Willah Mudolo and five co-accused will begin on 4 May 2026 in the Pretoria High Court. The group faces charges including racketeering, fraud and money laundering linked to a case involving the self-proclaimed prophet and businessman Shepherd Bushiri. The court dismissed attempts to block prosecution and criticised delays. The NPA has condemned the use of deliberately delay, saying it undermines justice but insists it remains committed to a fair and timely trial.
