As hundreds of mourners converged at Bukoto
village in Nakaseke District for the burial ceremony of the
self-proclaimed prophet, Wilson Bushara, his followers spoke of how they
hope their spiritual leader will miraculously rise from the grave.
‘Prophet’ James Wazemba, a co-founder of Bushara’s
World Message Last Warning Church, told mourners on Monday that they
expect a miracle. Mr Wazemba claimed that ‘Prophet’ Bushara was “not
dead but has been taken away by the angels and will soon be back to
accomplish the work they began”.
“The prophet is gone but we expect a miraculous
rise from the grave because he is not dead,” ‘Prophet’ Wazemba said. He
added: “We have faced persecution for the last 18 years but we were able
to withstand the harsh environment. The persecution is a lesson to
those who tried to destroy us that we are still around and will come out
more powerful than we have been.” He said before the end of the year,
the West and Arab World would come to Nakaseke “to witness the works of
God in this place.”
Bushara drew national attention when he announced
that he had a revelation that the world would end in September 1999. He
later changed his statement.
Bushara was taken to Kiwoko Hospital last Thursday
after his condition deteriorated. He has been fighting High Blood
Pressure for a long time since his release from prison in 2002.
Pr Daniel Muhoozi denied claims that the prophet has been leaving a lavish life at the expense of his followers.

Bushara’s followers claimed that government
agencies stopped them from establishing a Church at Bukoto when they
reportedly persecuted Bushara and his followers in 1998. This was in the
aftermath of his claim that the world would end on June 30,1999. Many
of his followers sold off their properties, including plots of land in
preparation for life in heaven.
Police dispersed the group, which had camped at
Bukoto in Wakyato Sub-county on September 18,1999. Bushara faced charges
of defilement in 2001 but the cases were later dismissed by a High
Court judge due to lack of evidence. Bushara later re-emerged in 2011 at
his home in Bokoto where the group reportedly started distributing
‘Last Supper’ invitation cards. Police later stopped the exercise.
