Prophet Shepherd Bushiri of Enlighten Christian Gathering (ECG) church has denied claims that he has been sneaking in and out of South Africa, saying the claims are baseless.
On Sunday, City Press newspaper of South Africa carried story where it claimed that Bushiri has been travelling to South Africa regularly since he left the rainbow nation last year.
The paper claimed to have received a tip from anonymous source.
But Bushiri rubbished the claims in a statement made available to faceofmalawi.
“I know who is behind your stories and I know your entire syndicate. I am also aware of those crooked and corrupt police officers that you work with. I denied giving you money and you promised to make my life a living hell. You arrested me and tarnished my name. You are still doing it now and you know – your days are numbered. My silence does not in any way indicate ignorance.
“It is very unfortunate that you have decided to call me guilty even before I have been given the legal opportunity to prove my innocence. This is why you keep pushing your media propaganda forward. But your presumptions will always prove to be what they are- presumptions and baseless in nature,” wrote Bushiri.
He added: “I have safely kept away all the evidence against your corrupt journalists and police officers which I will present in court. I will expose you trust me on that one.
“You can misrepresent facts on social media and make it appear as though you are at an advantage with your propaganda, but trust me, the law in Malawi does not use media. They use evidence and facts!”
Bushiri and his wife Mary are wanted in South Africa for fraud and Money laundering.
