Crime investigators say the case involves 102 million South Africa rand ($6.6m; \u00a35m; about K5 billion).<\/p>\n<p>He appeared at Pretoria\u2019s Magistrates Court on 21 October to hear the charges and was granted bail on 4 November.<\/p>\n<p>Bushiri\u2019s decision to flee to Malawi sparked debate from which the South African government accused Malawi of playing a part in the couple\u2019s escape.<\/p>\n<p>This did not go well with the Malawi government who accused the South African government of detaining President Lazarus Chakwera\u2019s plane when the leader visited the Rainbow Nation on the same day that Bushiri escaped.<\/p>\n<p>The Malawian foreign affairs ministry said even though Pretoria\u2019s Presidency did well by clarifying publicly that Chakwera played no role in abetting fugitive Shepherd Bushiri\u2019s escape, the statement fell short.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government of Malawi is aware and grateful that a public statement was recently issued by the South African government, exculpating President Chakwera from false allegations dominating the South African media that his presidential plane was used as a conduit for trafficking two Malawians wanted by South African authorities,\u201d the Malawian government said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNotwithstanding, the government of Malawi notes with concern that the statement falls short of acknowledging that the treatment President Chakwera was subjected to upon his departure was improper and incongruous to the warm hospitality he received upon his return,\u201d reads the statement.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Bushiri and his wife are at Area 30 Police Headquarters in Lilongwe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
