A 46-year-old brigadier and her husband have been arrested following their involvement in a Bushiri bribery case. According to reports, the couple handed themselves into the Hawks after a warrant of arrest was issued for them.
The couple is said to have accepted an R500 000 bribe from self-proclaimed prophet Shepherd Bushiri and his wife Mary Bushiri as a bribe. Colonel Katlego Mogale said that the investigation had started out as an inquiry but has now been converted into a case docket.
The couple is now facing charges of alleged corruption and defeating the ends of justice and have shown up in a Pretoria court this morning to hear how proceedings will go forth from this point on.

The cost for this service, which includes a face-to-face meeting, is reportedly R7 000. This excludes travel costs but does include accommodation for the three-day trip. The official Facebook page for Bushiri made the announcement earlier this week.
Bushiri also announced a Miracle Night Crossover at the Bingu Stadium in Malawi on 31 December. The post regarding this also included a section where they asked followers to send in promotional videos.
The Enlightened Christian Gathering website reported that the meet-and-greet-styled religious gathering would cost R7 000 a head. "Major 1's" Facebook page announced the visitor's programme which included a +27 South African number as one of the contact details.
The video shared seemed quite professional as they explained that followers would be able to meet Bushriri. They did not confirm the price of the face-to-face meeting but rather requested that a number or email address be provided to be contacted.
