Pastor Salanje eyes Malawi’s presidency

June 26, 2015 Maurice Nkawihe- Nyasa Times 84 Comments

It’s not a crime to dream. South African based controversial Malawian Pastor, Hastings Salanje, who brags of his wealth and recently indicated that he will be permanently relocating to United States of America (USA), apparently desires the country’s presidency and has since said he will take government in 2030.

Salanje, (president) pastor for God’s Chapel International Church, has been trending on social media, ceasing every opportunity to brag about how God is “embarrassingly” [sic] blessing him with wealth.

And, on Thursday the self-styled super rich pastor took a bold move to amuse his followers with a ‘prophecy’ he once had about him becoming Malawi’s Head of State.

”I will take the government when am 60yrs old, but now let me serve God and his people as a pastor first,” declared Salanje on his Facebook page.

Salanje is confident to become the country president as he claimed God showed revealed it to him in a dream five years ago.

”In my dream I saw myself winning presidential election and soldiers were coming to guard my house, when I woke up I discovered that it was a dream. All the dreams which I saw in the past ,they are coming to
pass now, so this one will be fulfilled too, and I have never planned with God and failed,” said Salanje.

He claimed people have been urging him to vie for the country’s top-most job but chose to wait for right time.

”I don’t like the office but if God says do it ,who am I  to say no, so to you that you are asking me to do this now, my answer is no, not now, but I take it as a  prophecy that really God wants me to do this in  future. It also started like that for me to become a pastor’’.

He also claimed that he has what it takes to make a good President and that at the moment; he is being prepared for ‘future task”.

Salanje, who recently splashed cash handouts to some individuals in the country, has got enough resources; as such he will continue supporting poor Malawians while outside the government.

“Anyone who wants to help Malawians must prove it when is outside of Government, must first use his money to help poor Malawians. How can you believe that this one can build the economy of Malawi when he can’t build his own finances?

“If you can’t run your own person affairs, how can you believe that you can run and solve issues of a country? That’s the problem Malawi has. That’s why I want to help poor Malawians when am still outside of government, when God make me what he wants me to be, then I will build thousands of houses for the poor.

“I will build villages of 200 houses on each village with free electricity powered by solar power plants, to be built on each village. Churches, schools and orphanage. All the old people from 65 years above will have free monthly salary or up keep money from my companies,

“I want to establish farms that will have everything including maize and these will be given to hospitals, orphanages and to poor people.  I will import free iron sheets and distribute them to poor people who will be willing to build houses for themselves.

Salanje once caused a stir before 2014 Tripartite Elections when he claimed God had showed him that former Malawi President Joyce Banda would win the elections. Surprisingly, Banda lost the elections.

Therefore it will be a surprise to many if his revealed prophecy comes to pass.–Additional reporting by Yankho Msukwa, Nyasa Times.

  1. Abambo maloto amenewatu munakhuta kwambilitu apa ( kudzimbidwa ) mudadya amasi eti? If a country can not fund its on budget then nothing you can do coz you will never have money to do all your promise.

  5. Knowing how mediocre Malawi is they will vote for him. I stopped voting because the voice of the wise does not count in malawi

  17. II strongly agree with these fools can vote for anything that resembles a human and can be able to murmur.

  22. Any prophecy that doesn’t come to pass it’s not from God. One fact for sure God has never lied & He doesn’t cos it’s not His nature so if a prophecy of Joyce Banda didn’t come to pass what does that tell us?????????? God knows!!!!

  23. Bola moyo, am yet to witness your prophecy coming to pass! We can’t vote for someone who declared kuti samafumanso chinthu kwa aMalawi. Inu may be you talk of American presidency poti nkomwe you are relocating to. Inu kukhala president anthu tidzayenda mwa mantha kuganizira ntchito zanu zodula maliseche anthu. The god you worship is not true God iwe man of god.
    Wishing you more dreams not visions man of god.

    Now who will vote for you since you don’t need malawians?

    Umatinyoza and then you pretend as if you didn’t say bad about us.
    This is lack of respect.

  43. Uli booo hope u r 45now bola if u r teling us zoona zokhazokha coz i will also be by 2030 drinking my favourite GREEN

  45. It is impossible to take government in 2030 because we had an election in 2014 and they are held every 5 years; 2014,2019,2024,2029,2034- no 2030. Very clever pastor! You really are God’s messenger!

  46. Uku nde kupha dziko! Eat from the tithes and businesses, not from public poor peoples’ funds.

  47. ha ha ha is that a wish or prophecy…unatinyoza sikale azakuvotera akwanu ndi mpingo wako ..ife anthu amatukutuku NO NO NO

  49. A Malawi tili pa mavuto basi. Simapresident woyamba kugula ma posh cars before developing the country.Abusa mukuyesa ngati upuresident ndiye otayira madeya amene akanika ku ubusa eti, Tili ndi wina uyu akutilemera ku parliament ndiye winanso. Malawi wanga watha basi.

  51. Hey!! I think this guy is tactical. He’s trying to play his cards well. Dont dare to write him off coz He is the man of this caliber Malawians usually go for. Probably, He knows on which corner we stand when it comes to politics..we like spendthrifts like him, ppo who feed on vain promises..those who boast & badmouth like hell. Those r the guyz Malawians like, then after sometime we start talking bad against the ruler. We know from the beggining how corrupt the wanna-be president is but we say BOLA WAKUBA YEMWEYO. So sindinganeneretu za mkulu uyu coz we r just too sleepy. All the more this guy gets in my nerves.

  56. I think Salanje is satanic, he is not a true man of god. Who do you think you can fool, a thief like you? Do you think Malawians are stupid enough to vote for you? Ask other pastors who joined politics if they ever succeeded. May be you want to be another Yona. By the way you are staying in that country illegally, you are masquerading as a man of god whilst stealing people’s money, may you go to eternal hail.

  59. Panga anthu adye zasatanic zakozo pastor wamatama ngati uyu sindinamuone…..beasy pa facebook basi kumalemba zopusa! Masiku otsiliza kuzabwera aneneli onyenga azizachiza ngati muzina la christu yesu,apa zaziweni kuti mwana wamulungu wayandikira…..christian this is atime to buckle our belt messiah is around the coner!!!!!!!!!!

  60. So elections in Malawi hapens every 5 years and my calender say nearest elections is 2029. I suggest your dream fits well in prison. There are solders surrounding the outer gate with guns and button stick. which one did you visiolize was it the button stick solders, AK 47 or the granades.

  61. Panga anthu adye zasatanic zakozo pastor wamatama ngati uyu sindinamuone…..beasy pa facebook basi kumalemba zopusa! Masiku otsiliza kuzabwera aneneli onyenga azizachiza ngati muzina la christu yesu,apa zaziweni kuti mwana wamulungu wayandikira…..christian this is atime to buckle our belt messiah is around the coner!

  63. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk hahahahahahahahahaha hehedeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  66. I thought this STUPID pastor said doesnt need Malawians… Which Malawi is he talking about? This gotta be a joke.

    One word to Salanje: If you really read the bible, it talks about the power of the tongue in Proverbs 18:21 which says, “the tongue has the power of life and death and those who love it will eat its fruits.”

    The same bible in James 1:26 says, “If anyone thinks himself is religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion in worthiless.”

    MAN SALANJE YOU ARE SUCH A DECEIVER AND YOU PUBLICLY SAID YOU DONT NEED MALAWIANS. YOU SAID YOU ARE GOING TO USA TO STAY AND EARN MORE FORTUNE THEIR. YOU SAID YOU WILL NEVER COME BACK TO MALAWI. AND THIS JOKE OF YOURS IS JUST TRYING TO DRAW ATTENTION BUT YOU ARE FAILURE. YOU DONT KNOW WHAT MALAWI IS. KADZIKHALANI KU THEBAKO ANDMUSADZABWELENSO BECAUSE IFENSO A MALAWI WE DO NOT NEED SUCH A STUPID PASTOR FOR PRESIDENT.

  69. Salanje is an intanashona actor. A big actor for that matter? What is it that I am hearing from Pasito Salanje.

  70. Koma usazivute ndithu. Maloto nthawi zina umalota ukuwuluka sizikutanthawuza kuti uzamela mapiko.

  72. I concur with PHWADO no. 3. First class stupid voters this part of the world. Pro Matchona matchona matchonaaaaaa. Aesh *>x&#

  73. Pastor Salanje, first of all prove that you can amass all this worth right here in Malawi because you will be in Malawi as president and not in South Africa or America. Only if you can prove that the same resources and environment in Malawi can make somebody as rich as you are, then we can really say you can run a country. Otherwise bragging outside the country will not help.

  75. Sometimes the dream is quite contractually to God because what think to be is what you always dream for bodily benefits.
    Let God rule Malawi and his chosen people and as it is now Peter rule MALAWI AND and forget the past.

  77. Its was not a dream but a nightmare. Ask pastor Lazalo he will explain to you Mr Salanje about such nightmares. He left Assemblies of God church after he had the same dreams as yours thinking that he would become Malawi’s president and it had turned to a nightmare. One night I dreamed holding a basin full of shining gold coins. When I wake up I had nothing. So Mr Salanje keep on dreaming.

  82. Mxm!ma pastor a pamalawi koma ndi MBUZI!!!!!
    Chosencho dyeratu,osamangopanga zauchidakwa zakozo ku joniko bwanji?
    Kaya poti amalawi achakumebeko ndiogodomala azakuvotera. Mxm!!!
