Shepherd Bushiri’s church set on fire after he survived 2 murder attempts – Pictures
Two tents belonging to Shepherd Bushiri’s Enlightened Christian Gathering Church were ‘set alight’ on Wednesday night. Spokesperson Ephraim Nyondo told Sowetan that the fire was put out before the tents could burn to the ground.
Nyondo said that the tents formed part of the overflows for the church’s services in Pretoria.
“The ECG is deeply concerned with the incident but, generally, immensely disappointed with tireless attacks on its leader Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and the congregation,” he said.
Sunday World reported earlier this month that Bushiri had survived two attempts on his life. The church stated that they believe that these incidents could be related.
“We are, hereby, calling on the police and all investigating agencies to help us get to the bottom of this unfortunate incident so that justice is not just done, but also seen to be done.”
Sowetan has previously reported that Bushiri and his wife Mary will be facing charges on money laundering, fraud, and contravention of the Prevention of the Organised Crime Act. Their case will be heard in the Pretoria specialized commercial crimes court in July.
Tshwane Emergency Services spokesperson Charles Mabaso said he can confirm the incident but is waiting for a detailed update for operational information.
SAPS spokesperson Kay Makhubele confirmed that a case has been opened.
“A case has been opened and it is malicious damage to property,” he said.
