Shivambu May Face Disciplinary Action for Visiting Fugitive Prophet Bushiri’s Church in Malawi
The recent visit of Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Deputy President Floyd Shivambu to the Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) church in Malawi has caused quite a stir in the political and religious spheres. Shivambu, who is known for his outspoken nature and strong stance against corruption, has come under fire for his visit to the church of self-proclaimed prophet Shepherd Bushiri, who is currently facing charges of fraud and money laundering in South Africa.
The visit, which took place on Sunday, 6 December, has sparked controversy and raised questions about Shivambu’s motives and his association with Bushiri. The EFF has always been vocal about their opposition to corruption and their support for the rule of law, making Shivambu’s visit to the church of a fugitive prophet a cause for concern.
According to reports, Shivambu was invited to the ECG church by Bushiri himself, who is currently in Malawi after fleeing South Africa while out on bail. The controversial prophet has been accused of defrauding his followers of millions of rands through his various church services and products. He has also been accused of money laundering and has been on the run from the law since November 2020.
Shivambu’s visit to the ECG church has been met with criticism from various quarters, with many questioning his decision to associate himself with a fugitive. The EFF has also come under fire for their silence on the matter, with some accusing the party of double standards and hypocrisy.
In light of the controversy, the EFF has released a statement distancing itself from Shivambu’s visit to the ECG church. The party has stated that Shivambu’s visit was a personal one and does not reflect the views of the EFF as a whole. The statement also reiterated the party’s stance against corruption and their support for the rule of law.
However, this may not be enough to quell the concerns and criticisms surrounding Shivambu’s visit. Many are calling for disciplinary action to be taken against him, with some even questioning his position within the party. The EFF has yet to announce any action against Shivambu, but it is clear that his visit to the ECG church has caused a rift within the party and has raised questions about his integrity and judgement.
In a time where corruption and unethical behavior are rampant in our society, it is crucial for leaders to set a good example and uphold the values they claim to stand for. Shivambu’s visit to the ECG church has raised doubts about his commitment to the fight against corruption and has tarnished his image as a leader.
It is also important to note the implications of Shivambu’s visit to the ECG church. By associating himself with a fugitive, he is sending a message that it is acceptable to support and defend those who have been accused of wrongdoing. This goes against the principles of justice and accountability, which are essential for a functioning democracy.
In conclusion, Shivambu’s visit to the ECG church in Malawi has caused a stir and has raised concerns about his integrity and judgement as a leader. While the EFF has distanced itself from his actions, it is clear that disciplinary action may be necessary to address the issue and restore the party’s credibility. As citizens, we must hold our leaders accountable and demand that they uphold the values and principles they claim to stand for. Only then can we truly fight against corruption and build a better society for all.
