For years, many have followed Pastor Robert Burale’s journey a man who has openly admitted his past mistakes, faced his demons, and tried to turn his life around. He has spoken about going into debt, attending strip clubs, loving women a little too much, and living a reckless life that nearly destroyed him. Yet, to his credit, Burale never hid his past; he confronted it head-on, expressing deep regret and using his painful experiences as lessons for others. Today, he stands as a motivational speaker and advisor, drawing wisdom from the very scars that once shamed him.
But now, Rozinah Mwakindeu, his former wife, has come forward with shocking revelations claiming that during their honeymoon, Burale never touched her, and that’s when she began to see red flags in their marriage. She also alleges that she once discovered adult videos on his laptop involving “forex traders,” hinting that the man she thought she married might still have been battling his old habits.
It’s a messy, complicated story one that paints both love and regret in equal measure. Rozinah’s pain is valid; she feels betrayed and disillusioned. Yet, on the other hand, Burale has never shied away from admitting that his past was dark and destructive. He has often said that the Burale of 2025 is not the Burale of 2013 in fact, he hates the man he used to be. He regrets the choices that hurt others, including his former wife, and has spent years trying to rebuild himself.
A few years ago, he openly confessed to being a po*******hy addict, jokingly saying he “supplied electricity to different people like a new Yamaha generator.” His body count, as people love to joke, “could make him Nairobi governor.” But despite the ridicule and rumors, Burale claims that his faith saved him and that he has since devoted his life to Christ.
Still, people like Andrew Kibe, one of his former friends, once said that “Burale is as fake as his suits,” questioning whether his transformation is genuine. And maybe that’s where the real debate lies between perception and redemption.
As Burale trends once again, it’s important not to assume he celebrates his past. No he despises it. He has repeatedly said he would never want to be that man again. His former wife has every right to regret her marriage, but Burale too regrets the version of himself that caused her pain. He knew where he went wrong and worked hard to correct it.
So, before we throw stones, perhaps we should remember that people do change even those who once walked in the mud. Still, when it comes to these so-called watumishi wa Mungu, it’s wise to tread carefully. Not everyone wearing a collar carries a clean heart.
May Wanyos remember their people.
