Prophet Bushiri's daughter in front of her new car
South Africa-based Malawian preacher has bought a new Maserati Levante luxury car for his daughter who is turning five on Christmas day.
The controversial Prophet Shepherd Bushiri on Wednesday shared photos of the gift on Instagram and Facebook with a moving message for his daughter Israella Bushiri.
“I always count myself blessed during this time of the year because I get the honor to celebrate, not only one but two God-given gifts in my life. I celebrate the birth of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and also the birth of our first daughter, Israella Bushiri.
“It seems like just yesterday when her little palms held my forefinger. It seems like only a while ago when I celebrated that finally I could lift her up and allow her to rest on my shoulders. It’s been a joy and heavens honor to watch her grow from being a baby to being the strong and brave child that she is today. I count myself blessed because not only did she give me a reason to smile but she gave me the opportunity to be called a Dad.
“My sweet little daughter, my pride and joy. May God’s loving kindness always shine on your beautiful face. I prophesy long life! You shall be great and yours, shall be a life that heaven celebrates. Happy birthday my princess!” the wealthy self-named prophet wrote.
The pictures show the little girl posing with the brand-new car decorated with ribbons.
The four-wheeled gift is estimated by South African auto news portal Wheels24 to cost around $125,760 in South Africa. This has sent chills down the spines of social media users who believe it is wrong especially when members of his church cannot afford three-square meal a day.
