JOHANNESBRG — The self-proclaimed prophet and leader of the Enlightened Christian Gathering church Shepherd Bushiri slammed former MP Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi for taking a swipe at him. Ndlozi questioned the source of his wealth.

What did Ndlozi say?

Sleek posted a video on his @sleekcliq X account. In the video, Ndlozi is addressing an audience in Malawi on 12 April 2025. The lecture was titled People over Politics. Ndlozi said there was someone in Malawi who is wanted in south Africa. He referred to Bushiri's fraud and money laundering case, for which he was arrested in 2020. When he was released on bail, he skipped the country and the South African government applied for extradition.

Ndlozi said there are questions for Bushiri in south Africa that he must answer.

"Whether you are a pastor or a politician, you don't have the right to steal from the poor, not in the name of God, not in the name of our people," he said.

"You can't bully me in South Africa and expect to do the same here at home. You can't advise Malawians to ask me questions about my wealth; they're not naïve. Is this the reason you betrayed your brother, Julius Malema? Next time, focus on politics," he said.

What you need to know about Mbuyseni Ndlozi

He served as a Member of the National Assembly for the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) from 2014 until his resignation in January 2025. Ndlozi was also the EFF's first official national spokesperson, a role he held until stepping down in 2020.
