Pastor Bushiri slammed in SA

While the pastor was trending on social media, a photo showing him on a stage with an Israeli flag in the background left people taken aback. The tweet shared by EFF's deputy president, Godrich Gardee calling him a "Man of Satan" sparked the outrage directed at Paastor Bushiri over the Israeli flag. Peepes agreed that the display of the Israeli flag during his sermon demonstrated that he was not a man to be admired, with many labelling him a scammer, con artist and thief.

What did Pastor Bushiri do?

Pastor Bushiri became notorious after he was exposed for alleged fraud, theft, and money laundering through his congregation in South Africa. Before he could face justice, the pastor escaped to Malawi and is yet to face extradition with his wife. The pair's extradition has been in the works since 2022. In 2025, a Malawian Magistrate's Court ordered that Pastor Bushiri be extradited to South Africa but it is yet to happen.

"You have correctly categorised Bushiri. The man is far from being a man of God. In all fake names that he has, the “Man of God” one is very provocative."

Thank you leadership, Bushiri is a scam, and everything that associates with Bushiri is also a scam."

@tannychiz argued:

"Christian community stands with Israel🇮🇱"

@Bro_mandla said:

"Bushiri is a conman, a thug and a deceiver. Why did he jump out borders and run away if he knew he was innocent? He stole and defrauded the vulnerable using the name of God. No one should try to sanitise who he is. No sane person must associate with such nonsense."
