A pastor identified as Eric Bhuka has been shot dead by unknown gunmen while he was praying at a prayer mountain.
Taxitimes.net reports that the deceased is a pastor of a church, Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) church in South Africa.
The church is reportedly owned by controversial Malawian preacher Shepherd Bushiri.
Bushiri who confirmed the shooting, wrote;
“I am greatly pained and grieved to learn of the tragic shooting to death of Apostle Eric Bhuka, one of our ECG Pastors in South Africa. What’s even troubling is that our Apostle was shot at the prayer mountains, where he went to pray, preparing for the Great Entrance this Sunday.
“I celebrate you, Apostle Eric. You came, you preached, you won souls and, at your journey’s end, you have gone back to where we will all return after finishing the mission of preaching Jesus Christ.”
