Controversial South Africa-based pastor, Shepherd Bushiri, has been arrested.
.
A statement from the church says he and his wife, Mary, were arrested by the Hawks on fraud and money laundering charges.
.
“As you will remember, from last year, we have struggled with reports that our father was guilty. He has been detained and is being questioned by the Hawks in Silverton, Pretoria.”
.
Bushiri spokesperson, Maynard Manyowa, said: “Police came in the morning to the hotel, picked them up, saying they wanted to talk to them. .
.
They wouldn’t tell us exactly why or how. They didn’t take them to as police station, but they took them to the headquarters of the Hawks.”
.
Early last year, reports emerged that Bushiri was sending about R15 million a month to his birth country Malawi.
.
It was said the money was transported out of South Africa to Malawi in the pastor’s private jet and a few vehicles.
