The High Court of Malawi has overturned the extradition of self-proclaimed prophet Shepherd  Bushiri and his wife Mary Bushiri, finding that a magistrate’s decision to hand them over to South Africa was legally unsound, procedurally unfair, and put their lives at risk. In a judgment delivered on Friday, October 31, 2025, Justice Mzonde Mvula ruled that the extradition process “fell short” of the standards required under Malawi law and that the couple had been denied their constitutional right to be heard. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is in conversation with Department of Constitutional Development Spokesperson, Terrence Manase and Legal Analyst, Ian Allis.
