South Africa Prophet Mboro of Incredible Happenings Church has said he was never at war with Malawi’s Prophet Shephered Bushiri but rather was praying for justice while standing up against corruption, fraud and money laundering.

Mboro’s remarks comes after the recent arrest of the leader of Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) church, Prophet Bushiri and his wife Mary Bushiri over fraud and money laundering.

“I’ve been praying for justice. There has never been a war between prophet Bushiri and myself. I was standing up against corruption, fraud and money laundering,” said Mboro.

The wife, Mary was nabbed by the Hawks on Tuesday, while Bushiri later handed himself over to the authorities.

Continuing, Mboro said, “The arrests could not have happened without a spiritual covering.”

“It is not easy to deal with such a man – you need a spiritual covering to fight this. It needed God’s divine intervention. SA has been captured and I need people to understand this. It’s a spiritual war. I still need your prayers, I still need your support.”

Hawks spokesperson Col Katlego Mogale confirmed the arrest of two couples, including another pastor and his wife on Saturday, for their alleged involvement in money laundering worth R102m.

Meanwhile, the couple is still in in custody of police following bail ruling postponement on Wednesday to Friday.
