I never intended to discredit Burale in her interview,  Rozinah Mwakideu

Gospel minister Rozinah Mwakideu has spoken for the first time since her recent interview with her brother, radio host Alex Mwakideu, sparked widespread discussion online.

Rozinah, in a lengthy video on Monday, October 6, 2025, said she was surprised by how much attention the interview received, adding that her only intention was to share her story, not to attack anyone.

In her statement, Rozinah expressed gratitude to those who reached out with words of encouragement and understanding. She said many people related to her experience and found comfort in her story.

“The last two days, I have been seriously trending. I did not see that coming, but it is what it is. I want to say thank you for the overwhelming love,” she said.

She went on to appreciate those who watched the interview and understood her message.

“Asanteni sana. Nyinyi ni wale mlienda mkaona interview with my brother, and you understood. Asante kwa wale wananipigia simu kutoka diaspora. Thanks to those who are saying that the interview has taken you further on your healing journey. You people have encouraged me, mungu awabariki,” she said.

Rozinah also addressed those who accused her of being bitter or malicious towards her former husband, motivational speaker and pastor Robert Burale. She clarified that the purpose of the interview was not to incite conflict, but rather to provide closure and potentially assist others going through similar experiences.

“There is also a group of people who have different opinions. They are claiming I came out gun blazing, saying I am malicious and so on and so forth. But I understand,” she said.

“I was interviewed for the purpose of helping, for the purpose of sharing my story. It may be irrelevant to so many people. But as old as it is, it is still my story.”

Rozinah said she has completely healed from the past and holds no ill feelings toward Burale. “I have healed, I have moved on. Some say I am speaking out of bitterness, but I have healed, and I believe Robert Burale has also moved on,” she said.

She ended by saying there is no conflict between them. “We are not at war, at least I know we are not at war. Most people do not understand the motive behind the interview,” she concluded.
