Prophet Bushiri says ‘Malawians don’t eat politics, they eat food’

South Africa-based Malawian prophet Shepherd Bushiri has no kind words against some Malawi political leaders who always politicises his maize projects.

Bushiri: My maize not meant to personally benefit any politician or businessman.

In a scathing Instagram and  Facebook post made this week, Bushiri has challenged Malawi political leaders that:  “The people of Malawi cannot go to bed on politics. The wonderful people of Malawi do not eat politics. They eat food.”

Bushiri, through Shepherd Bushiri Foundation, is currently selling maize at the cheapest price of K100 per kilogramme. The exercise has already been in 7 districts namely: Thyolo, Phalombe, Balaka, Mangochi, Ntcheu, Salima and Mzimba.

Writes Bushiri: “The food I am selling at the cheapest price across the country is not meant to personally benefit any politician or businessman. Neither is it meant to appease the egos of bureaucrats and king makers.

“Nobody should ride the wave of these gestures of goodwill to advance their own interests!

“I hereby humbly request and warn those at the forefront of this mischief to stop forthwith.”

It is not clear as to who Bushiri was targeting but he empathizes that the food he is giving should NOT be politicized.

“In fact, we should not even be discussing politics when people are dying of hunger. We should not discuss political ambitions, strategy, or benefit when people are suffering all over Malawi,” he wrote.

Nyasa Times tried to get comment from his spokesperson Ephraim Nyondo but failed because apparently he is in hard to reach areas of Malawi collecting data for the next phase of cheap maize sales.

When is Africa’s biggest liar and scammer , Bushiri going to apologise for his enormous $100 Billion AFRICCI fund scam. Christians are praying that the fraudster bushiri soon gets the really long prison sentence he deserves. God will make sure he ends up in jail where he belongs, for ages,

Eating food is not confined to Malawi. Do not, therefore, bore us with the “Malawians don’t eat politics” song.

Mr Bushiri why don’t you just donate the bags Of maize freely to is the poor people ps Malawi instead of selling us at 5000 mk pee 50 kg bag . We are too poor even to find this 5000 mk. Please consider to give us free maize and we shall respect you and God will
Grant you plenty

Agree with you papa. I thought you as a Prophet you would pray for rain so that these people should have food and government give them protection? Are you saying your recent maize sale was a way to attack politicians that they are not distributing food? What type of a Prophet are you?

Give credence to your statement by naming and shaming these politicians who want to gain political mileage by reaping where they did not sow.
