Reacting to TB Joshua’s death, the General Overseer of a Christian non-denominational charismatic evangelical church known as the Enlightened Christian Gathering based in South Africa, Shepherd Bushiri, also known as Major 1 or Prophet Shepherd Bushiri, is a Malawian Christian preacher, said: “Prophet TB Joshua has gone to rest but it does not mean he has left his calling, his mantle is still there at the Synagogue.”
