The justice and correctional services department has clarified the “misinterpreted” Malawi high court judgment on its application to extradite Shepherd Bushiri to South Africa to stand trial.
“The high court in Malawi has ruled that witnesses, to be specific, those who arrested us and recorded cases against us [investigators], be physically present in Malawi for cross-examination by our lawyers,” he said.
“We believe the judgment speaks for itself [and] clarifies that an extradition hearing is not a trial,” it said.
