Bushiri and his wife, deemed controversial, were arrested at the Sparkling Waters hotel in Rustenburg last week.
According to South African media, the Hawks’ case against the pair concerns alleged offences of fraud, money laundering and contravention of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act (POCA).
The crimes were allegedly committed from 2015 in relation to Exchange Control Regulations related to foreign currency in the amount of $1,147,200 (about R15.3m), according to the Hawks.
The couple run several business enterprises in South Africa and abroad.
The case was postponed to May 10.
