Leader and founder of Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) Prophet Shepherd Bushiri is just a year away to start living life as he turned 39 yesterday.

Bushiri celebrated his 38th birthday in church in the capital Lilongwe as preached to hundreds of people from different countries who attended the service in different forms, physically and virtually.

The man of God is being praised for his gesture in helping flood victims in different parts of the country.

Some economists believe government could take advantage of this and rake in huge revenues to resurrect the struggling tourism sector inline with the launched two-year COVID-19 Social Economic Recovery Plan.

Before come back and settling in Malawi, Bushiri was in South Africa where he is currently wanted for fraud and money laundering charges.

At the moment, South African country is demanding for his extradition, and Malawian courts are currently hearing the matter.
