This is Africa
Shepherd Bushiri |
Once again we have to tell you about yet another popular preacher
whose claims and ‘demonstrations’ of supernatural power has grown his
congregation to consist of thousands of members.
Whether or not his claims are true is really not for us to say but we
get really concerned when we see cracks in his ‘powers’ that his
faithful flock may be oblivious to – or even plainly refuse to see.
Pastor Shepherd Bushiri, a Zimbabwean faith leader is by many
measures, a successful preacher. That’s if his 239,000-strong and more
than 13,000 fans on Facebook and Twitter are anything to go by.
He recently released a video showing him walking down an impressive staircase in what the Daily Mail claims is his Malawi mansion.
The clip begins with a wide shot of Bushiri walking down the
staircase with his hands aloft. The camera then pans to either side of
that empty section of the house. As he gets nearer to the last step, the
camera shot zooms in towards his feet which, after some
shuffling sounds by the door, begin to levitate.
Why did the camera zoom into his feet at that specific moment in
time? Whose shadow is moves away from his as the camera zooms out? These
are the questions some of his followers should ask before paying the
man for his ‘magic’.
