Thousands celebrate Major1 birthday by giving to the needy

Pretoria – Followers of Prophet Shepherd Bushiri today heed his calls to celebrate his birthday by giving away “something they treasured” to the needy.

In South Africa, on Twitter and Facebook alone, at least 200,000 people posted about giving away a prized possession to less fortunate members of society.

Followers from Kenya, China, Rwanda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, UK and all the way to the USA, have been colouring their social media timelines with pictures and videos doing charity work in honour of the charismatic preacher’s birthday.

Yesterday, the Prophet urged his followers to not reserve any gifts of special messages for him on his big day, but to rather donate a valuable belonging to another person.

The Prophets communication team has released a message thanking all that are doing the good work, saying the move is tantamount to living Major1’s principle of giving.

Major1 contributes millions of dollars yearly to charity.
