Prophet Shepherd Bushiri of Enlightened Christian Gathering has quashed rumours hovering on the social media claiming that Goshen City has been submerged with flooding water in the eastern district of Mangochi.
The past two days Malawians have been sharing video footages along the lake shore areas showing how hotels and some lodges have been affected by flooding waters.
Some went further to claim that Bushiri’s multi-billion Goshen City project has been deeply affected by the flooding water.
But Bushiri’s spokesperson Aubrey Kusakala has trashed the rumours, describing them as false aimed at causing panic.
“It has come to our attention that certain individuals within the media have been circulating erroneous and sensationalized claims suggesting that Goshen City has submerged due to flooding currently affecting some areas along the shores of Lake Malawi.
“We categorically refute these claims as they are devoid of truth and serve only to create unnecessary panic and distress among stakeholders,” reads part of the statement.
He added: “We would like to assure all stakeholders that Goshen City is very safe, not submerged and indeed not affected by the current floods.
“Goshen City, as a development project, is committed to transparency and accuracy in disseminating information, and we hold those who spread falsehoods accountable for their actions.
“Therefore, this serves to warn all individuals and media outlets involved in spreading sensationalized and false information about Goshen City that any further dissemination of such misleading stories and video clips of other entities will not be tolerated, and those responsible will face the full force of the law.”
