Controversial South African based Malawian preacher, Prophet Austin Liabunya has attracted backlash on social media after claiming that he has spoken to Facebook Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mark Zuckerbeg.

The claim comes barely months after the preacher also claimed to have a direct contact of one of the disciples of Jesus Christ.

In his post, Liabunya claimed to have discussed a number of the issues affecting the general public.

‘I MUST admit that I’m glad to have been on a telephone call with the CEO of Facebook, @zuck today and discussed issues of public interest,” wrote Liabunya.

But the posted did not go down well with some of his facebook followers.

Most of them accused Liabunya of being an attention seeker.
