Rozinah Mwakideu breaks her silence as Robert Burale initiates Ksh 20 mill lawsuit

Gospel minister Rozina Mwakideu has shared a message of faith and calm amid a brewing legal storm, as she and her brother, media personality Alex Mwakideu, face a Ksh20 million defamation lawsuit filed by her ex-husband, Pastor Robert Burale.

Taking to Facebook on Thursday, October 23, 2025, Rozina opened up about the emotional weight of the day, revealing that it marked the first court mention of the case in which she and Alex have been named as defendants.

“Today, October 23, 2025, may be a kawaida day for you. But for my brother Alex and me, it’s our first court mention as defendants — being sued for Ksh20 million for defamation by Robert Burale,” she wrote.

Despite the high-stakes proceedings, Rozina struck a tone of faith and optimism, declaring her unwavering trust in God’s plan.

“In all this, one thing I know for sure: God will be greatly glorified. May peace continue to fill our hearts. Thank you for your prayers and support. #MunguKwanza,” she added.

The Case at a Glance

The legal battle stems from a YouTube video uploaded on Alex Mwakideu’s channel, in which Pastor Burale alleges that defamatory remarks were made against him.

Filed under a certificate of urgency at the Milimani Commercial Magistrate’s Court on October 8, 2025, Burale’s suit seeks several key orders — among them, an injunction barring Alex and Rozina from making or publishing any further statements about him.

The application partly reads:

“That pending the hearing and determination of this application inter partes, an order of injunction be granted restraining the respondent (Alex), whether by himself or his agents, from publishing or causing to be published any post or statements defamatory of the applicant (Burale) — including those published on October 4, 2025, via his YouTube channel.”

In addition to monetary damages, Pastor Burale is also seeking:

  • The removal and deletion of the contested video;

  • A public apology issued through major media platforms; and

  • An order preventing social media users from sharing or reposting the disputed content while the case is ongoing.

As the matter proceeds through court, Rozina continues to lean on faith and family, assuring her supporters that the truth — and God’s purpose — will ultimately prevail.

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.

Rozinah Mwakideu reveals her mother warned her about Robbert Burale

In a deeply personal interview shared on Alex Mwakideu’s YouTube channel, Rozinah Mwakideu opened up about her brief marriage to preacher Robert Burale, calling it the darkest period of her life and a mistake she still regrets.

The video, aptly titled “My Biggest Mistake Was Marrying Robert Burale,” offers an unfiltered look into her pain, the lessons she learned, and the warning signs she says she overlooked.


Breaking Her Silence

In Season 2, Episode 7 of the show, Rozinah recounted how she met Burale, married him within a year, and separated just “one year and two days” later.

She admitted ignoring her mother’s warning, saying, “My mother told me she saw darkness in that marriage, but I didn’t listen.”

Rozinah recalled being taken to Burale’s family home in Karen under the pretext of visiting her brother. The visit lasted nearly a month, during which she says they shared a room but remained celibate — something she later interpreted as being more about control than mutual decision.

She also revealed that she received anonymous messages and social media warnings about Burale’s character, but he brushed them off as envy and jealousy from others.


Burale’s Side of the Story

In contrast, Robert Burale has previously offered a softer explanation for their split.
During a 2018 interview, he cited poor communication and limited quality time as the main causes of their separation.

The pair’s conflicting narratives have long drawn public curiosity — with Rozinah implying issues of control and mistrust, while Burale frames the breakup as a result of relational challenges.


Healing and Moving On

Now 50, Rozinah says she has healed and grown from the experience but still considers marrying Burale her biggest mistake.

5 photos of Alex Mwakideu’s elder sister who wanted to commit suicide because of Robert Burale

Pastor Robert Burale was once married to Rozinah Mwakideu, the elder sister of radio host Alex Mwakidue but their marriage crumbled after only a year and only two days.

In a recent interview on Radio Jambo, Rozinah revealed that Burale frustrated her to a point she contemplated committing suicide.

She, however, managed to leave him, ignore naysayers and start a fresh.

Manipulation

According to Rozinah, Burale was deep in debt and manipulated her in different ways especially when he was on the wrong.

“Robert had so many things he was hiding from me in the name of being a pastor… I was expecting him to change. I became suicidal in that one year I lived with Robert because there was so much I was going through but I feared what people would say if I left. My mother is a prayerful person and that helped me,” said Rozinah.

Though Burale hasn’t addressed her claims, he confessed a while ago that he had huge financial issues that frustrated his ex-wife.

Rozinah has not re-married since she parted ways with him and neither has Burale.

Here are her photos:

“I would receive calls now and then from people and police saying Robert had unsettled debts. It was a character he had and I kept waiting because I thought he would change because he was born-again. For example, the main reason why I left was after my friend came to visit me and after she left she wanted to sue him. I couldn’t handle that pressure plus other personal issues,” said Rozinah.

He cheated, apologized and cheated some more

Rozinah further reveals that Burale kept cheating on him and apologizing. She reveals that his actions even made her become suicidal.

“There were red flags that he was cheating on me but he would apologise. However he would fail and repeat it. Robert had so many things he was hiding from me in the name of being a pastor… I was expecting him to change. I became suicidal in that one year I lived with Robert because there was so much I was going through but I feared what people would say if I left. My mother is a prayerful person and that helped me,” Rozinah.

Robert lied to the public?

Early this year, Robert Bulare revealed what made his marriage crumble. He however didn’t mention anything about cheating on his wife. Burale claimed that his marriage ended because he rushed to marry his wife without dating for a long time.

“We courted for five months and then got married in the same year. Everybody said we were rushing it but we were in love, in hindsight, we should have listened. We dated, courted, paid dowry and got married all within five months. Her parents were okay,” Robert Burale said in an interview with SDE.
