Prophet Shepherd Bushiri says South Africa went after him for buying a plane. He shared this in a talk with Zodiak TV. He thinks the officials felt the plane did not fit his age.
Life turned hard for Bushiri and his wife in South Africa, which made them return to their homeland. When asked how he left South Africa, he spoke with fear. He said he would tell that story later. He added that when danger comes, one must run to stay alive.
Bushiri faced death threats in South Africa. He lived through 47 shots at his car. The car had strong armor meant for war tanks. He and his wife also lived past a bomb some people put in their car.
The pain went deeper. His first child, Israel, died after South Africa stopped his care. When the child...

Karonga District Council has developed a new way to solve problems between groups. The plan helps people work out their issues quickly and inexpensively.
Mr. Peck Chawinga shared news of this system at a meeting on Friday. He works as the Labor Officer at the council. He spoke for the head of planning.
"When we run programs, people might not agree with each other," Chawinga said. "This system will help us look into their worries early. It stops small problems from becoming big fights."
He said problems often start when work is not done well. Other times, people feel their rights are hurt. Some lose their land. Others say program staff did not treat them right.
Chawinga made clear that crimes need different care. People should tell...
A court order has helped Salima Sugar Limited start working again. The High Court lifted a ban on the company's bank money, allowing it to pay bills and make sugar.
Judge Jabber Alide made this choice on Friday. The company's head, Wester Kossam, said it helped the business a lot.
The ban had made work very hard, Kossam said. The sugar maker could not pay farmers or buy needed items for making sugar.
"The locked bank accounts made us unable to breathe," said Kossam. "We could not pay people who grow sugar plants. This stopped most of our work, which made us ask the court for help."
The court's choice will let the company start fresh. Kossam thinks farmers want to sell their sugar plants to them again.
"This ruling helps us pay our...
A group of citizens in Malawi has spoken out against plans to set age limits for people who want to run for president. Led by Edward Kambanje and Oliver Nakoma, they say the ruling Malawi Congress Party aims to change the law.
The group claims the party wants to spend 300 million kwacha to pass the changes. They believe this money will go to Members of Parliament and others who support the new law.
The planned change would prohibit anyone over 75 from running for president. This would change Section 80(6) of Malawi's basic law. The group sees this as an attack on citizens' rights to take part in running their nation.
"We have learned the MCP has set aside much money to win support from lawmakers, community groups, chiefs, and...
Former Zembani band member Wendy Harawa has offered 7 million kwacha to singer Nepman. She wants him to sing his new gospel song at her coming show.
Harawa wrote about her offer on Facebook. She aims to have Nepman perform "I Sing to You" at her "Favour" concert. The song is part of his new seven-song record named "It Takes Time."
Both artists have different musical backgrounds. Harawa started with regular music before moving to gospel. Nepman, whose real name is Neppier Longwe, makes common music. He was born in Malawi but lives in America.
Many people praised the song on social media. One fan, Noel Mchenga, said the song carries a strong message. He thinks Nepman should take the money.
The large offer made Nepman think hard. He...
The head of Kenya has made a strong call for peace in eastern Congo. William Ruto spoke at a meeting of East and South African nations in Tanzania. He said the fighting must stop.
"We face a deep crisis in Congo," Ruto told the group. "We need to act fast, together, and keep working at it." The meeting brought together members of the East African Community and the Southern African Development Community.

Iran Leader Says No to US Talks.
Iran's top leader told his team not to make deals with the United States. He sees such talks as wrong.
"Making deals with them is not wise or smart," said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He pointed to past times when the US broke a 2015 nuclear deal.
His words came after US head Donald Trump asked for a "checked nuclear peace deal" with Iran. Trump said Iran must not own nuclear arms.
Iran says its nuclear work serves peace. The land does not want to make weapons, it adds.
"We need to see this right. Sitting with the US will not fix things," Khamenei said to army chiefs.
"Talks with the US fix nothing," he said, thinking of past times.
Trump came back to the White House on January 20. By Tuesday, he...
Muslim Group Plans Prayer for Former Leader Amin.
A group of Muslims will hold a prayer for past Uganda leader Idi Amin. The event comes up on Friday, February 21, at a holy place in Kisaasi, Kampala.
Former lawmaker Latif Sebaggala leads the group behind this prayer. He said people need to see the good things Amin did for Uganda. "He helped our land grow, but many just say bad things about him," Sebaggala said.
People ask why this prayer comes years after Amin left power. Sebaggala said all things must start somewhere. "We want people to keep his name alive," he added.
The police say they did not know about this event. Luke Owoyesigyire, who speaks for Kampala police, said they would look into it. Yet Sebaggala thinks they need no...
