JOHANNESBURG - The Malawi government has signed the extradition papers for self-proclaimed Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and his wife, Mary.
The pair fled South Africa last month while they were out on bail.
The leaders of the Enlightened Christian Gathering Church are facing fraud and money laundering charges worth R100 million.
The Pretoria Magistrates Court granted the pair bail despite alarms being raised on the legitimacy of their passports.
Earlier on Thursday morning, the pair handed themselves over to the Hawks team that’s been tasked with investigating Bushiri alleged crimes in South Africa.
