SKIPPING THE BORDERS AFTER ARREST

In 2019, Prophet Bushiri and his wife hogged headlines after they were arrested at their rumoured R1.3 billion South African resort, Sparkling Waters Hotel and Spa, in Rustenburg for money laundering, fraud and theft.

After being released alongside his wife on R100 000 bail each in February 2019, the two skipped the borders to settle in their home country of Malawi.
