# The Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Development has welcomed a ruling by Malawi’s Chief Resident Magistrate’s Court, which approved the extradition of self-proclaimed prophet and fraud accused Shepherd Bushiri and his wife, Mary. The couple fled South Africa in 2020 while facing multiple criminal charges, including rape and violating bail conditions. Ministry spokesperson Terrence Manase says they will oppose any appeal and, if no appeal is made, Interpol and the police will handle their transfer.
