In their affidavits, the Bushiris highlighted that Shepherd Bushiri earns R566,000 a month while his wife earns R221,000 a month from “entities”. However, Bushiri was careful to state that he did not understand the charges brought against him as it was unclear what his involvement in the case was.
Ntlokwana who is a member of Bushiri’s Enlightened Christian Gathering and is employed as a financial consultant pleaded for bail saying that she lived with her pensioner mother who, together with her siblings, depended on her.
All three will return to the Pretoria magistrate’s court on Friday for further argument in the bail application.
