Shepherd Bushiri: Meeting the man who ‘walks on air’

There is clapping, dancing, jumping and down as he makes his way into the hall, flanked by bodyguards.

Such is the excitement that a few of the congregants - some of whom have been waiting patiently for five hours to catch a glimpse of the man - collapse.

But why wouldn't you? After all, this is a man who has cured people of HIV, made the blind see, changed the fortunes of the impoverished and, on at least one occasion, appeared to walk on air.

Prophet Shepherd Bushiri has come a long way from his upbringing in Mzuzu, a city in northern Malawi.

Nowadays, he can fill sports stadiums with tens of thousands of his devoted followers - followers who are prepared to travel across the world to see him preach in person.
