Popular Malawian pastor, Hastings Salanje with a church in South Africa, was reported to have said that 'pastors need to be rich because the congregation have to pay them for pouring unto them blessings they seek from God'.
Local newspaper, Malawi 24 reports that Pastor Salanje founder of God's Chapel International, lately on social media, has been bragging around to have been 'embarrassingly blessed by God' and 'buying expensive cars and mansions in South Africa'.
The pastor reportedly spoke to a Malawian radio station, Capital Radio in the Straight Talk programme on Thursday addressing the issue of flaunting his wealth on social media.
He said: "You see, we men of God are rich just because people pay us for giving them blessings".
The pastor said that he had no worries with some Malawians hating him over the posts he makes on Facebook, the man of God whose sons have also joined him in boasting of the family's riches argued that everyone must have a group of haters.
"I wouldn't say that all Malawians hate me, there are others that love me lot. That's life anyway if there are some that love me, they have reason so do those that hate me"
" The reason that would make someone hate another would be jealousy and intimidation" said Salanje ironically saying that people hate him for being rich.
It was gathered that the pastor mocked Malawians by saying that "I know back home some people are suffering".
Malawi 24 reports that Salanje who recently challenged Malawians to bring forward cars like his to show him and be given money has since stated that he will be living RSA for America as God wants him to administer there.
It was gathered that Pastor Salanje left Malawi for South Africa some years ago following allegations of being a Satanist.
