Summary
A top official from South Africa’s uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party, Floyd Shivambu, has faced backlash for visiting self-proclaimed pastor Shepherd Bushiri, who fled to Malawi after being charged with rape and fraud. Shivambu praised Bushiri’s work in a post on X, prompting condemnation from South Africa’s Minister of Justice and his own party, which distanced itself from his actions. Bushiri, currently appealing an extradition request, is accused of exploiting vulnerable communities for personal gain while denying any wrongdoing.
