Prophet Shepherd Bushiri of Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) Church has finally moved in to help a child who was tortured in Salima for allegedly being caught red-handed stealing maize.

The development comes barely hours after some well-wishers in the capital Lilongwe also donated five bags of maize to the child and his mother.

In the video clip posted on the timeline of Gerald Chavez Kampanikiza, Bushiri is seen together with the child and his mother in PEP stores shopping.

Speaking in an interview with press Bushiri promised to sponsor the child from primary to College.

He then urged Malawians to love and support several children who are currently on the street suffering.
