Bushiri’s co-accused brings new bail application

Shepherd Bushiri’s co-accused Willah Modulo will have a new bail application in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court tomorrow (Tuesday) based on ‘new facts’. Mudolo, who runs an investment firm and a property development company, appeared in court alongside his wife Zethu Mudolo and another co-accused, Landiwe Ntlokwana, says a TimesLIVE report. Mudolo, who was flagged as a flight risk, was denied bail last year in December. His wife and Ntlokwana are out on bail of R100 000 and R20 000 respectively. The trio, together with Bushiri and his wife Mary, are facing charges of fraud, theft and money laundering involving more than R100m relating to an alleged investment scheme through a company owned by Mudolo and his wife. Aside from the new bail application, NPA spokesperson Sipho Ngwema said the matter was postponed to 22 June for further investigations. The Bushiris fled SA to their home country Malawi a week after being released on R200 000 bail by the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court.
