Alex Mwakideu finally discusses “setting up” Robert Burale
Radio host and content creator Alex Mwakideu has broken his silence following widespread claims that he deliberately set up Robert Burale during a recent episode of his podcast featuring his sister and Burale’s ex-wife, Rozinah Mwakideu.
The controversy erupted after Rozinah made candid remarks about her failed marriage to the popular pastor and motivational speaker — comments that quickly went viral and sparked heated debate online.
Alex Denies Orchestrating a Setup
Speaking to TV47, Alex dismissed the allegations, insisting there was no hidden agenda behind the two interviews. Responding with humor, he said:
“Kwa nini nifanye hivyo?”
He explained that he initially had no plans to host his sister, but after Burale’s episode, fans flooded his comments urging him to give Rozinah a chance to share her side of the story.
According to Alex, he simply responded to audience demand and had no idea Rozinah would make such strong statements about her ex-husband.
How the Drama Unfolded
The situation began when Alex first hosted Burale on his podcast, where the pastor calmly discussed his past marriage, saying that while it didn’t work out, they had managed to remain cordial after their divorce.
A week later, Alex invited Rozinah to the same platform. Her version, however, painted a starkly different picture.
In the now-viral clip, Rozinah openly declared that “marrying Burale is my biggest regret in life.”
The timing of her appearance led many online to suspect that Alex had intentionally set up Burale, especially since Rozinah is his sister.
Public Reaction
The back-to-back interviews quickly took over social media, dividing fans.
Some accused Alex of using personal family matters for clout, while others defended him, saying he was simply offering both sides of the story.
The interviews also reignited public conversations around Burale’s personal life and his openness about topics such as divorce, faith, and personal growth.
“No Malice, Just Honest Conversations”
Despite the backlash, Alex maintained that his podcast is built on transparency and real dialogue — not controversy.
He stressed that there was “no malice” behind hosting the two guests, describing the outcome as an “unexpected twist” that naturally emerged from interviewing two people with differing perspectives.
