All roads lead to Malawi for Bushiri’s ‘miracle night’ service

Though previous crossover services at the FNB Stadium sold tickets for R10, the Lilongwe event will not have an entrance fee.


South Africans have vowed to travel to Malawi to attend the annual Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) church crossover night service on 31 December.

The service, previously held at FNB Stadium, will be held at the Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe, Malawi, ECG church leader Shepherd Bushiri announced on Wednesday.

The self-proclaimed prophet is currently in Malawi after fleeing South Africa with his wife Mary following their release on bail of R200,000 each last month, citing security reasons.

Bushiri, his wife, and others were arrested in October in connection with fraud, money laundering and theft worth more than R102 million.

Looking at all that has been happening, starting with the pandemic and these problems we have been having, I’d like to announce to you that with God’s direction, we’ll be having the crossover 2020-2021 service in the Bingu stadium in Lilongwe, Malawi.

“We’ll be accommodating a reasonable number which the government has given due to Covid-19 regulations. it all happen with strict measures. Those who are able to travel must start preparations now,” said Bushiri.
