Shivambu's appearance at the service has sparked outrage among politicians and citizens alike, as Bushiri evades extradition to South Africa where he is wanted for serious allegations. South Africa's Minister of Justice condemned Shivambu's actions as disrespectful, warning that they could embolden fugitives. The MK party distanced itself from Shivambu’s actions, emphasizing their commitment to combating gender-based violence and exploitation.
Despite the backlash, Shivambu praised Bushiri's efforts in uplifting communities during his visit, stating that the work done by the pastor is unparalleled. The incident raises significant concerns about accountability and the perception of justice within the political landscape in South Africa.
In recent elections, Shivambu’s MK party has already stirred controversy with its rapid rise and association with former President Jacob Zuma, intensifying debates surrounding political standards and ethics in the country.
