Dr.Shepherd Huxley Bushiri (born 20 February 1983), known as Major 1 or Prophet Bushiri, is a Christian preacher and businessman from Malawi. He founded and leads a Christian non-denominational evangelical church known as the Enlightened Christian Gathering. The church has headquarters in Pretoria, South Africa with branches in other African countries and around the world. He describes the church as a Prophetic Ministry based on the principle that God cares and loves people and wants to speak directly to them.
Bushiri also runs an investment company, Shepherd Bushiri Investments (Pty) Ltd, a global investment company based in Sandton near Johannesburg, with interests in mining, real estate, an airline and other entrepreneurial pursuits. According to Bushiri, he ventured into business to support his family as he does not believe the church must support his family.
