But that, may be an understatement. He is in serious trouble. The Hawks are on him. Now the Hawks, are unlike their unarmed counterparts this side of Old Naledi. They don’t arrest and spend years mentioning a case in court because “investigations are at their infancy”. If they do, it’s usually because they have done their homework, and have burnt the midnight oil over the possible culpabilility of their subject. I do not say the man is guilty. Far from it. I’m just saying he is up against a stacked deck.
But then, Bushiri has money. Until he was taken away, early this week, Bushiri lived in mansion, earned more than half a million Rands a month, flew in private jets, lavished his infant children with sports cars, filled Soccer City stadium better than Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs; and millions would contribute to his defence. He does not even have to spend a dime. Bushiri, can afford any lawyer he desires to have, and any expert in any field. What more, if the lawyer talks nonsense, he can fire him, and he can make a miracle lawyer. Bushiri is guaranteed to receive justice, without any impediments. Whatever verdict it will likely be; it would likely, be credible.
