Botswana closes Malawian cleric’s churches

Malawian prophet Shepherd Bushiri has had another run-in with the Botswana Government, which has resulted in the country shutting down all his churches. The Star reports that the Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) was targeted for allegedly flouting Botswana laws. This after it continued to claim that it could produce ‘miracle money’ despite being warned to stop. The church's officials are appealing the ban. Bushiri has also come under fire over the exorbitant fees that he charges his followers to see him. He charged R25 000 for a seat at his table at a gala dinner in Pretoria last month.
