A statement on Bushiri’s Facebook Page revealed that Bushiri’s fresh arrest relates to a certain investment pertaining to a company called RISING ESTATE.
“He [Bushiri] believes in the justice system of the country and he will abide to all what the law compels until all this war is done.
“As the matter is still currently under criminal investigation, we have been advised not to discuss this matter any further,” reads part of statement.
Bushiri who leads the Enlightened Christian Gathering was also arrested in South Africa together with his wife in 2019 for fraud and money laundering. Before today’s arrest, the couple had been on bail and their case was recently adjourned to 2021.
Worldly prophets all look for profits, real prophets do not stand out, they go about God’s business quietly, and like Elijah, don’t accept riches for what God does in and through them. This guy is a false prophet, and do you know what the did to false prophets? stoned them…. Jesus said ‘you shall know them by their fruits…’ and he also said there will be many false prophets in the latter days… guess this one got caught…. when he stands at the judgement seat Jesus will say “Depart from me, I do not know you”
When Will South Africa Get Rid Of These So-Called Prophets? Why Did This Dude Leave Malawi From The First Place, Why Us, Why South Africa? Why? Haayyy, I Just Get So Angry When Coming Across Instances. We Should Ban All These Fake Churches.
