Human Rights Advocator Sir Charles Ben Longwe, has urged patriotic Malawians to be brother’s and sister’s keepers in not allowing the MCP extradite one of their own Prophet Shephered and Prophetess Mary Bushiri to South Africa to be hanged to death.
Ben Longwe has claimed that Prophet Bushiri has no record of stealing anything belonging to Malawians saying he left Malawi quietly to South Africa not for his intention but political reasons of the previous government observing that the culture of Malawians is that those who have wisdom are becoming enemy of the state.
He said if he was a judge himself, he would have considered crimes he committed while in Malawi and those queries coming from South Africa of Money Laundering, Fraud and Rape before coming up with a judgement on whether to extradite Bushiri to South Africa or not.
Speaking from his Hard Knocks University, Ben Longwe has assured the MCP government that extraditing Biushiri to South Africa will not please Malawians and even some South Africans that are for justice, will not support the decision.
Ben Longwe said Bushiri was about to be killed in South Africa, he would have stayed in USA, Britain or China but he chose Malawi his mother country and while he is in the country, he has been cooperating in all the charges levelled against him and was attending to court proceedings.
He has reminded the MCP government that Bushiri is one who is sharing a little of what he has to the poor claiming that during the time of Cyclone Freddy, he hired a helicopter to reach out to the areas where the victims were trapped for their safety at the time the MDF and Malawi Police had no any helicopter to do the much-needed job.
The Advocator said in South Africa, the women confessed that they were hired to give false evidence of rape in court and the Malawi court has come up with the same rape case which was dismissed in South Africa to its own son of the soil.
He said if the government of President Chakwera extradite Bushiri to South Africa, it will put the record straight that the arrest of Reverend Gondwe of Zorozoro CCAP Livingstonia Synod in Mzuzu and Secretary General of the Nkhoma CCAP Synod speaking against Blantyre CCAP Synod’s Reverends who visited Professor Mutharika in Mangochi, are MCP influences.
“The MCP is a government of no human hearts, Malawians cannot arrest Prophet Bushiri and instead of the government protecting him to the maximum, it is selling him,” said Ben Longwe.
He said Malawians living in South Africa have no peace of mind, they are being hunted in their homes, churches and work places, those caught are loaded in trucks as bags of maize deported back to Malawi questioning President Chakwera that are the problems Malawians facing in South Africa, not enough?
Ben Longwe has finally -++-appealed to all patriotic Malawians that if the MCP government don’t stand for them, they should stand for themselves by being brother’s and sister’s keepers claiming that out of 20 million plus citizens if 10 are arrested, the 19 million people if they don’t have power, they must carry stones to liberate the country in a quest to defend and protect Prophet Bushiri from being extradited to South Africa.
