Bushiri refuses South Africa police extortion, sues: ‘Cases were fabricated to soil prophet’s reputation’
South Africa-based Malawian prophet Shepherd Bushiri of the Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) opened a case of extortion at the Independent Police Investigative Directorate in February this year, according to SowetanLIVE, which quoted sources with knowledge of the matter.
Bushiri’s spokesman Ephraim Nyondo has also confirmed to Nyasa Times that the preacher reported reported the shenanigans to the crime intelligence inspector-general.
The Prophet claims some crime intelligence cops tried to extort R10 million from him as they promised to make his criminal cases disappear if he paid them the money.
“When they discovered that the Prophet was not cooperating, they started making threats” Nyondo said.
The allegedly concocted cases range from money laundering, racketeering and rape.
“All these alleged cases against Bushiri were fabricated in order to extort money from him and to soil his good name and reputation,” Nyondo said.
When Bushiri refused to co-operate and demanded his day in court. they reduced the amount to R5m. The amount was further decreased to R1m when the charismatic Bible-puncher still wouldn’t budge.
Bushiri alleged that the cops harassed him and flagged his passport and even flew to his Pretoria church in a helicopter and threatened to arrest him on the pulpit before his millions of congregants.
South Africa police have confirmed Bushiri had filed an extortion complaint with them and that the matter is still being investigated.
Bushiri’s lawyer Ntsako Baloyi said the clergyman had filed extortion complaints with the two law enforcement agencies against the suspects.
“The ordeal started during February 2018 in which one known as captain [name withheld] personally went to the prophet in the company of a few police officers and other individuals who introduced themselves as attorneys and advisers to the then deputy president of South Africa,” he said as quoted by Sowetan.

No body i repeat No Man conceived of a Woman can touch or defeat Prophet Shepherd Bushiri. He is a Prophet and theres nothing any body can do about it! Keep calling him and miracles God uses him to do Fake while people are busy receiving their miracles &testimony. We dont care what you guys say or think of Prophet Bushiri. Oh by the way HE IS MY FATHER and am from far country receiving miracles from his prayers.
Just curious. If he is indeed a prophet and can heal with miracles-where are his powers (supposedly through God) against a bunch if cheap extortionists? God was busy? Am just saying.
BIBLICALLY JUDGING OUR FELLOW
CHRISTIAN IS NOT ALLOWED — WE ARE SERVING A LIVING GOD –THE RIGHTFUL JUDGE –LET’S NOT JUDGE OUR FRIENDS OTHERWISE WE MAY ENTER INTO SIN — THE JOURNEY IS SPIRITUAL NOT FLESH / PHYSICAL — JESUS IS LORD !!
This one is not a prophet. What has he really prophesied? He is just a business man who has realised that it is easy to make money using the name of God. And it is not only him, that is what even our local pastors have started doing.
IT’S NOT FOR A HUMAN BEING
TO JUDGE —OUR GOD IS ALIVE (WATCHING AND JUDGING ) THE JOURNEY IS SPIRITUAL —
The Bible tells us to test every spirit
Be careful what you say! You might end up committing the unpardonable sin, which is blasphemy against the holy spirit. How do you know that he is not a prophet of God? Let God be the judge wena!
