Bushiri Hits Back at Ndlozi’s Accusations

Controversy has erupted following remarks allegedly made by South African politician Dr. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi during a recent public lecture in Malawi. Ndlozi is reported to have questioned, “Why am I rich?” in reference to Prophet Shepherd Bushiri, prompting a strong and emotional response from the Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) leader.

Bushiri, who has remained a polarizing figure across southern Africa, took to his official channels to address the incident, expressing dismay and frustration over what he perceives as continued political bullying—this time on Malawian soil.

He questioned the motivation behind Ndlozi’s inquiry, suggesting that it was less about accountability and more about targeted harassment driven by envy and xenophobia.

The spiritual leader, who fled South Africa in 2020 while facing legal challenges, emphasized that he would not tolerate the same kind of scrutiny and hostility in his homeland.

Bushiri also took a sharp jab at Ndlozi’s political affiliations, insinuating a betrayal of fellow politician Julius Malema, with whom Ndlozi had previously maintained close ties.

Turning to the question of wealth, Bushiri defended his financial success by highlighting his investments and community contributions.

He ended his message with a pointed remark aimed at South African political leaders:

Bushiri’s response has ignited fresh debate on social media, drawing both support and criticism. While some praise his economic initiatives in Malawi, others continue to raise questions about his business dealings and past legal troubles.

As the conversation unfolds, one thing is clear: the relationship between Bushiri and South African politics remains as strained and complex as ever.
