Government blocked Bushiri’s daughter to seek medical attention in Kenya on Friday and hasn’t given reasons for the move.

However, during the press briefing on COVID-19 in Lilongwe on Tuesday, HRDC leadership commented on the issue, saying government should, in the first place, consider the life of the child because she does not have any problem with the law.

HRDC says government must consider “the sanctity of life” in dealing with the issue in which Prophet  Bushiri’s daughter.

The group has since asked government and Prophet Bushiri to sit down quickly so that the child travel to Kenya and access medical attention.

In a statement, Bushiri’s spokesman Ephraim Nyondo said: “Having worked with the prophet for many years, I have noticed that he is a man of faith who believes that doctors treats; but it is God who heals. He believes the child has a right to life and access to medical attention just as any other citizen.”

Bushiri’s lawyer  Wapona Kita confirmed the daughters and their grandmother were on Friday prevented from travelling to Kenya yet there are no travel restrictions imposed on them.

  3. This bushiru guy has a very proven history of lying to the masses. He lied that he walks in air and himself osatumidwa made a pathetic video to ‘prove’ that. He lied about owning 3 jets, he lied that he will not run away from south africa, he lied about making short hands grow, he lied about making a car without an engine start, he tried to lie about 3 people who died in a stampede in his church, he lied that he got his riches from his father that has been rich all the time, he lied about making blind people see, he lied about making forex investments for people that would double every 2 weeks…Himself and lies are inseparable. What makes you think he is not lying this time around? He hires the sulungwes and nyondos to lie for him. This man was born a lier and is not ashamed of it. He has staged ‘miracles’ before, he has staged perfectly healthy people to look like opunduka so that he then proves that he healed them, and zambilimbili…If you are still in doubt of this pathological lier, he lied to the magistrate in Pretoria many things under oath, including in his own writing that he will not abscond bail. Someone still call this one a man og god??? You HRDC stop standing for this man who has put lives of many in misery by eating their hard earned money in promise of nothing. He feeds on poor, gullible and desperate people. You should be standing up for them instead.

    1. I think the hrdc are doing the right decision to rescue the daughter who is not concerned with his father’s matters therefore it is better for us not to tolerate before things reach worse situation

      1. As a father he must know that what he does will always affect his children. When he goes to jail for 10 years will it not affect her? Ndiwabodza mkulu amaneyu everything he says must always be verified independently, that includes the claim that his daughter is ‘critically ill’. HRDC must help those with hiv that this person gets their money chatering planes for.

      2. The Bible says he will punish children because of the sins of their parents as we ll us parents so let him pray and heal his child we want to see a miracle

  4. What’s good for the Goose is good for the Gander!

    Government cannot just allow a few minority through and ignore the many. The Constitution does not allow for a Cherry Picking advocate; it sides on serving the many.

    HRDC are you a lobby group or rights advocate…be careful as you may well be in violation of your Articles of Association and Memorandum. A case of too many Cooks!

  5. This HRDC nonsense needs to be disbanded. It’s quickly becoming a nuisance and a scourge on our democracy. They choose issues that only benefit them and their personal interests. Apa adya dollar za Bushiri. Where are they when other Malawians are being arrested? Who helped chanthunya?

    1. HRDC lost track ages ago when they meddled in politics. There are wider human rights issues they should push such as the selective justice system – loads of people jailed long term for minor offenses, access to quality education, and lack of health care e.t.c

  6. HRDC,please stop this nonsense.You are not here to dictate what the government want to do.Why don’t you encourage the Malawi Government to build better hospitals so that everyone must be accorded the treatment rather than going abroad.Can a poor person go abroad for medical?You are on a wrong direction now.

  7. The government should let Prophet Bushiri’s daughter receive medical help abroad. A government is suppose to promote the health of its citizens.
    In the bible, King Hezekiah had a deadly boil. God told King Hezekiah that He would heal him. Isaiah, the prophet, who saw God’s throne, instructed people to put a medicinal solution of figs on the boil. King Hezekiah recovered.
    Prophets and preachers have their own doctors. Luke, who the book of Luke is named after, was a physician.
    If anyone of us was in that situation, we would not want our child to be denied medical treatment.
    Prophet Shepherd Bushiri, by God’s grace, brought joy to countless families. He should receive whatever he wants for his family.

    1. Did you say Bushiri brought joy to many? Or did you mistake that with misery? Can you give examples please? Why is he on the run from giving this ‘joy’ to many in South Africa?
      We don’t want fake preaching here. This mbava MUST be stopped from attempting a second escape. I would edge the authorities to keep a 24/7 watch on these crooks so they don’t escape. After all, this ‘man of god’ does pray for the sick and heal them. Let him do likewise to his daughter.

    1. I didnt realise that there are some stupid and ignorant people like u in Malawi. What on earth can u say that? U will be cursed if u r not careful in what u say to Prophets. Who told u that they can experience illness neither their children? If i hear u talk shit again, I will hit your nose. Shut up.

      2. You are very blind and not a Christian you mkamwa mwa khilisitu simutululuka zoyipa let him perform a miracle and heal his daughter so we all can believe that he is a man of God and anthu wosakhulupira mulungu can believe God

  9. Useless HRDC, why standing up for this crook? Do you really want to be part of this mbavas second escape? Kagwereni uko mbuzi inu.

    1. Kabwafu is a demon . The guy is a dunderhead he doesn’t think. The only achievement he has registered in his life is to hate the multi billionaire man of God, the Major Prophet of the Most High, Papa, Major Provovo, Daddy, Major 1, !!!!
      Udzimbidwa kabwafu uli mmadzi!!
      Iwe zitukwana Ife madalitso migolomigolo!

  11. It would have made a lot of sense if the sick child was going to Kenya with a professional registered nurse – with the money the father has it would not be an issue I suppose.
    The problem here is that she is going into hospital in Kenya with a five year sister and a grand mother. I am failing to understand the rationale.
    The self acclaimed prophet and his prophetess are planning for another spiritual disappearance to Juba, South Sudan. That’s his only safe heaven. He knows his days are numbered in Malawi

    1. Why can’t he just apply the bottles of his miracle oil? Or may be he doesn’t trust his own bottles?

      He and his wife are a flight risk and trust me, Malawians will pay dearly by SA government, if we let these croocks out Malawi.

  14. There’s no sick child here. Any sensible person can see this. Bushiri wants to pull another stunt. If indeed the child is sick, where is the other child going? Has he tried Malawian hospital for any help? You start near not far. I don’t hear any referrals here. Malawi is poor indeed but at least he could try out our local hospitals. If that doesn’t help, at least unleash the magic in the self. While the doctor can’t heal himself and the lawyer can’t represent himself but the doctor can heal his daughter and the lawyer can represent his daughter. Similarly, Bushiri can heal his daughter just as he has been claiming to heal others in South Africa. If he fails then that shall be proof that all along he has been a conman

    1. He scams poor people of their hard earned money and leaves them with nothing, while using the name of God and spends the money recklessly.

  16. Both HRDC and Prophet Bushiri have exposed themselves big time how fake they are. Imagine Major 1 has been duping people all along that he can heal people from different types of sicknesses, now, he finds himself in a situation where he cannot heal his own daughter. As for HRDC, learn to chew Bushiri miracle money in silence, you are now a disgrace, don’t take Malawians as fools.

  18. Hrdc whatever you call but stop this nonsense bcoz u talk everything now u leave real issues leave bushiri and tell chakwera to fire his Minister’s who eten covid money not this are you now u start loosing ur mind

    1. It’s easier said when you are watching from the stands. Should your child get sick some day and the whole government should deny her treatment, you will curse the day you were born and you will hate the Tonse government through and through. The government is denying its own citizens medication, really? Can the operator of the air ambulance deal with a fake case? God forbid!
      Government now has an eloquent spokesperson in Gospel Kazako. Is it not surprising that up to now he has remained mute? Could it be that he is not in agreement with the action his government has taken ?
      If the government which is required to defend its citizens is now in the forefront denying its own under ten sick children treatment, what will become of us the elderly?
      This is a matter UNICEF , WHO, UNDP, World Vision, NICE, PLAN International, and all those organizations that deal with children in one way or the other should condemn in the strongest possible terms.
      I urge opposition parties to condemn this barbaric act as well. Today it is Prophet Bushiri. If it goes uncondemned , tomorrow it will be Mpinganjira’s grandchild, it will be Atupele Muluzi’s child, it will be you, the one reading this message.
      I pray that the Holy Spirit will convict president Chakwera and give him sleepless nights and restless days until this satanic decision is reversed .
      To the First Lady Madam Monica Chakwera: be empathetic. Imagine how Mrs Bushiri is feeling right now. The government is denying her daughter treatment. Are you enjoying the royal meals in state house under these terrible circumstances?? May the Holy Spirit remove all the peace in you until you intervene

      1. Kabamba, ofcourse you are the one who is stupid and satanic. Bushiri is a charlatan and everyone knows that his daughter is not sick. As a Bushiri stooge you must know by now that government knows more than your useless papa does. Stop with this cheap sympathy buying campaign

      2. Nanunso to begin with how many children are dying out there that u hv defended? Just because bullsht is rich nde it’s a global problem? Second so God heals others not bs children? Dont play with the name of God he is capable of fighting back. He is warrior of the warriors

        2. Tuntyufe, Let God be God. In this particular case I am putting my head on the chopping table. If the matter is fake let God strike me dead. If it is true, the same God should kill you slowly after being hit by lightening. Then you will know that out there there is God of Major 1.
          It is settled. Heaven has witnessed this

      3. Everyone knows the child is not sick. Bushiri wants to run from the law, like he run in South Africa. When one skips bail, his passport is confiscated that’s how law works. Let the kid go to mwaiwathu or kamuzu central, zomba or queens. No story here

  19. I don’t think our government can refuse the sick child to go and seek medical help if there is need to do so. There is more to this story

  20. HRDC should know its limitations. They cant be everywhere. Who paid for the bottles of water and lunch they took. Malawians are not as foolish as they think. The problem is that you dont earn your living rightly so you end up being tossed to an from. Onani ife azanu we earn our living and dont depend on Bushiri timadzidyetsa tokha and he cant fool us.

    1. From all the articles on this story, it is one child who is supposedly sick, but why attempt to fly out both children? Secondly, do u know the animal called precedent? Do u remember that before he ran away from South Africa he did same thing – kutsogoza both his children and the helpers like in this case? Don’t be myopic. Wake up. History may/wouldve repeated itsel here. Those who have blocked their exit aint naive nor stupid, rather, they have good memory. They think. Enanu shut up and be compromised.. u are used to clap hands for anything in exchange for cheap/dirty/blood money

  22. Let child go and seek medical assistance
    Moreover no traveling restrictions on them.
    Where the police are getting power to stop them.
    This is Court contempt kutenga malamuro ndikutangaza nawo.

  23. Akatelo ndiye kuti Sembereka, Trapence and Tembo alandila 2 million kwacha each. This guy is a charlatan. Will HRDC explain to the country if Bushiri bolts again? Because we all know his final destination is Juba, South Sudan where they have guaranteed him a safe haven. This guy will forever live as a fugitive. Malawi has no cash so he wants to go to Juba and continue milking gullible people

  24. HRDC slowly but steadily loosing relevance. If failing to tackle real issues now reduced to as personal mouth piece of Bush-Lee

  27. Hold on a minute HRDC! I thought he was the same “prophet” who was healing the disabled, bringing the dead back to life and so on.. Now he can’t even heal his own daughter it’s a shame! God is now showing the world the so called prophets how fake they are!

  28. Let the child go to receive medication while her parents must not resist arrests for their wrongs in RSA. They must face the law amicably to prove their innocence if all applicable.

  30. So let me take this straight . A father of that child is healer. Healing people with different dieseas.but suddenly he can’t heal his own child. Does it make any sense or the time has come for God to expose these people

    1. Wrong . The prophet is not the healer. The healer is Jehovah, the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
      God will heal the child . The doctors will treat her
