Floyd Shivambu shocked people when he said Malawi gives Prophet Shepherd Bushiri state security. The MK Party member talked about his trip to meet the wanted religious leader. Bushiri faces fraud and rape charges back home in South Africa. Shivambu defended his visit and said nothing was wrong with meeting the prophet. He wrongly claimed no court ordered Bushiri sent back to South Africa.
Shivambu lost his job as party secretary general three days after the interview. His bosses moved him to a regular parliament seat instead. The politician said Malawi protects Bushiri through official government channels. He claimed South African leaders know about the arrangement between Malawi and the prophet. Many people believe Bushiri escaped on President Chakwera's government plane.
The former party leader said Bushiri works on many projects with Malawi government support. His comments will cause more problems for the MK Party leadership. Shivambu heads to parliament as the controversy continues to grow around his meeting.
