Something Nice with Dinano

In part one of a two part interview, Solomon Izang Ashoms, an investigative journalist who has been exposing the powers behind prophets and bishops in the christian church tells of the workings of Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and Bishop Stephen Zondo. Solomon's work spans over many years on the topic of powerful church leaders.  

He has not had an easy way in doing this research, as he has received a number of death threats from the so-called prophets and their associates.  Ashoms has been producing documentaries on church figures like TB Joshua, Shepherd Bushiri, Stephen Zondo and Alph Lukau to name a few.  Having done interviews with people involved in these "cult" churches, as he refers to them, he says many of them have spiritual powers, but such powers were not gifted to them by God of the Bible.  

He references the Bible to support his claims, together with many interviews from victims who were abused by these "false prophets".  In this interview he focuses on two controversial characters, Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and Bishop Steven Zondo.  ECG leader, Prophet Bushiri aka Major 1 is being trialed in South Africa for money laundering together with his wife Mary, where they recently escaped to Malawi, violating their bail conditions in the process.  

Whilst Bhishop Zondo of Rivers of Living Waters ministries is being investigated by the CRL Commission for questionable practices at his church, claims rising from testimonies include claims of witchcraft at the church.

His list of endless hits like Waar was Jy, Roba Letheka, Avulekile Amasango and Wayethin'umame (What's with the attitude) show he is more than just another singer but a legend of African pop culture. A legendary musician with an endless discography of hits, he is definitely a legend worth celebrating.
