A self-proclaimed prophet, who faces charges of money laundering and fraud related to £4 million, has triggered a diplomatic incident in South Africa after skipping bail and fleeing to Malawi.

Shepherd Bushiri and his wife Mary, who have both been charged, failed to report to a police station on Friday to meet their bail conditions.
