Bushiri’s attorney Wapona Kita confirmed to TimesLIVE that
the daughters and their grandmother were on Friday prevented from travelling to
Kenya.
“We are still trying to understand why they were blocked
from leaving because they have not committed any offence and there are no
travel restrictions imposed on them,” he said.
Kita did not divulge further details on why the children
and their grandmother were going to Kenya and when they had planned to return
to Malawi.
Bushiri and his wife Mary fled SA a week after being
released on R200,000 bail by the Pretoria magistrate’s court. Shortly after
leaving, Bushiri said in a Facebook post that they had left the country for
their safety.
The Bushiris and their co-accused - Landiwe Ntlokwana,
Willah Mudolo and his wife Zethu - face charges of theft, money laundering and
fraud in connection with an alleged R100m investment scheme.
The Bushiris’ bail conditions barred them from travelling
outside SA.
They and their co-accused were:
instructed to report every Monday and Friday to their
nearest police station;
barred from disposing of property;
ordered to hand over to the state the original title deed
to their R5.5m property in Centurion; and
barred from threatening witnesses, the investigation and
prosecution teams, even while preaching.
Their extradition case will be heard on March 8 in Malawi.
