“Bushiri is at liberty to lodge a complaint just like any other Malawian citizen when he feels that his life is danger,” said Kalaya.
On Wednesday, Bushiri through his Public Relations Officer Ephraim Nyondo pressed a panic button.
“We are extremely dismayed and astonishingly shocked by continuous intrusion into the private space of Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and also attempts to kidnap him by some recognizable security personnel from South Africa.
“Through various tip-offs from well-wishers and our intelligence sources, we have it on record that these personnel from South Africa have been trailing the Prophet, to the extent of following him everywhere he goes under the guise of working under the ‘Embassy,” said Nyondo in the statement.
