A Malawian Pastor, known as Prophet
Shepherd Bushiri, the leader and founder of the
Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) church had acquired a jet in a space of three years.
Mr Bushiri is thought to be the
richest man in Malawi and has recently revealed that he plans to open a
bank and mobile company in South Africa, the paper adds.
Speaking to Nyasa times via phone,
Bushiri could not hide his excitement and explained that his recent decision to
buy the jet simply represent the vision he has.
“Am a man of God; I believe I need
to live by example. I teach the word that strengthens the faith of ‘I can do
all things through Christ who strengthens me,’ and that’s exactly what am doing
now. I am what God says I am and not how other people judge me.
The latest jet
is reportedly a Gulf Stream III jet, which costs $37m (£25m).
When criticised
for spending money that could have been used to help the poor by one follower
on Facebook, Prophet Shepherd Bushiri replied:
"When are you going to sell
your phone which you have used to type here and give the money to the
poor?"
