Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>TimesLIVE<\/b> – Self-proclaimed prophet Shepherd Bushiri on Monday announced the death of his daughter, who had been hospitalised.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is with deep sadness that I announce the passing on of my daughter Israella Bushiri,\u201d he said in a post on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a father it was my desire to see her grow and serve the Lord. However, the will of God was for her to return back to Him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bushiri said she had always offered his wife Mary and himself \u201cgreat comfort and enlightenment\u201d.<\/p>\n

Last month, the Enlightened Christian Gathering pastor\u2019s daughters and mother-in-law were prevented from leaving Malawi to travel to Kenya. Within days, Israella was allowed to travel for treatment with her guardians.<\/p>\n

On March 18, Bushiri said Israella had been battling a lung infection in ICU for the previous two weeks.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Bushiri said a doctor had advised that if she had not been blocked at the airport the first time she needed to travel to Kenya for medical assistance, she may not have died.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very disheartening and sad, therefore, that my daughter has become a victim of the persecutions we are facing from SA,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He described his daughter as a strong young girl who loved to worship and serve God, despite her young age. Bushiri said he and his wife choose not to mourn her but to celebrate her life.<\/p>\n

Bushiri lawyer Terrance Baloyi told TimesLIVE: \u201cWe will not be releasing any further details at this time beyond what is contained in the statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an emotional and difficult time \u2026 We all need time to process, mourn and celebrate the life of someone who we all loved dearly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple was expected back in a Malawian court on Monday in their extradition case.<\/p>\n

They fled SA a week after being released on R200,000 bail by the Pretoria magistrate\u2019s court. Shortly after leaving, Bushiri said in a Facebook post they had left the country for their safety.<\/p>\n

The Bushiris and their co-accused \u2013 Landiwe Ntlokwana, Willah Mudolo and his wife Zethu \u2013 face charges of theft, money laundering and fraud in connection with an alleged R100m investment scheme.<\/p>\n

The Bushiris\u2019 bail conditions barred them from travelling outside SA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
