Image
  South Africa's Parliament has requested a report into how Enlightened Christian Gathering Church Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and wife Mary escaped the Rainbow nation. Bushiri’s 'great escape' has been likened to that of Nissan boss Carlos  Ghosn  from Japan. The Bushiris allegedly left South Africa for safety reasons after being given bail over allegations of money laundering, fraud and theft and have since asked the Malawi government to intervene for a fair trial. South Africa's Minister of Home Affairs Dr Aaron Mostoaledi admitted South African borders are porous and the department has been working on these issues asking Parliament to put into effect a law on border management. The Minister said it has taken 10 years to have the issues passed in Parliament and that there is papework that still needs to be signed.

  A 40-year-old lady named Thoko Mabaso said that it was time for her to find a right man for her life, a man that won’t demand sexual satisfaction. She decided to marry a nine year old boy who is still young, and Thoko hopes that her marriage will last. The family of the boy were speechless when they heard that their son is getting married, especially at age nine, the parents of the boy are the ones who said yes on his behalf because he is not yet 18 years of age to make his own decisions. The attendance of the marriage was the whole village because everyone in the village wanted to know if it is true that a nine year old boy is marrying a 40-year-old woman. In another story the age of the lady was mistaken to be 59-years-old but her real age is 40. The village didn’t believe their eyes when they got to the venue and it was true that there was a very special marriage taking place in the village. Okay let’s be realistic now, how will a nine year old boy be able to handle a 40-year-old
