Shivambu Praises Bushiri for “Government-Scale” Impact on Communities
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Shivambu expressed his gratitude and praised Prophet Shepherd Bushiri for his significant contributions to uplifting communities socially, economically, and spiritually.
“Thank you, my brother, Prophet Bushiri, for hosting us and for the kind words. The government-scale amount of work you do to economically, educationally, socially, and spiritually uplift our people is unparalleled—both now and historically.”
He further highlighted the appreciation from Malawi’s leadership and citizens for Bushiri’s efforts:
“I know that the leadership and people of Malawi appreciate and cherish the many impactful programmes you run on the ground. Continue doing the good work.”

Bushiri later took to Facebook to praise Shivambu’s Pan-African ideals, writing:
“Thrilled to have met Mr. Floyd Shivambu! His philosophy of black people supporting each other resonated deeply.
”Sadly, some still peddle jealousy and negativity—labelling successful black individuals as ‘corrupt’ and in need of investigation, while praising white individuals as ‘investors.’ That’s not Pan-Africanism; that’s jealousy
