The Bushiris have lost their bid to have Magistrate Patrick Chirwa recused from their extradition hearing in Malawi.
The pair is wanted in South Africa in connection with a fraud and money laundering case.
Their lawyer now wants the court to treat the case as a civil proceeding not a criminal one.
The magistrate s court in Lilongwe, Malawi, has dismissed a bid by self-proclaimed prophet Shepherd Bushiri and his wife, Mary Bushiri, for the recusal of the presiding officer in the pair s extradition hearing.
Magistrate Patrick Chirwa said there were no sufficient grounds for a recusal.
This after the defence made an application on behalf of the Bushiris for Chirwa s recusal on Monday afternoon, arguing the case was moved from the previous magistrate, Viva Nyimba, to Chirwa, without alerting them.
