Prophet Shepherd Bushiri of Enlighten Christian Gathering (ECG) church has admitted of having 5 passports as alleged by Minister of Home Affairs in South Africa.

Bushiri said this in a statement posted on his official facebook page a direct response to claims made by the minister when summoned to explain as to how Major 1 escaped in that country.

“For the record, my wife and have 5 passports each, one of which is a diplomatic passport and one is a normal passport. we submitted all these passports to the Investigating Officer in South Africa.

“Because we are frequent travelers due to the work of our ministry, the other passports are full, however, they have international visas and hence we kept them. There is nothing sinister about that. Even the Immigration Department in Malawi has attested to that,” wrote Bushiri.

He added: “In this regard, it would never be an understatement to conclude that of the fears of the injustices that I am fearing, the reason I came to Malawi, has just been confirmed by Honourable Motsoaledi, MP. The whole world was watching and saw for themselves.”

Meanwhile Bushiri has handed himself to law enforcers at area 30 in the capital Lilongwe.
