Tanzania Musician Rose Muhando Mulls Permanent Relocation to Kenya over Sexual Harassment By Pastor
Veteran Tanzanian gospel musician Rose Muhando, 41, claims that her life is in danger and she will be relocating to Kenya.
The musician says her move is prompted by a pastor who is politically, financially and socially buoyant and has been attempting to take sexual advantage of her.
Muhando says that after rejected his advances, the man has resorted to threatening to kill her if she does not bow to his demands.
According to Tanzania’s Ijumaa Wikienda newspaper, Muhando has tried to use police to stop the tormentor, but the police would instead arrest and intimidate her.
She says that the pastor, who is a married man, helped her raise money for her music production in the past, which could be the reason he wanted her to ‘pay back’.
“He is well-connected to the police bosses and religious leaders around. So, it is easy for him to make defamatory claims against me and have police harass me,” says Rose Muhando.
She further accuses the money of incriminating her in a drug scandal in order to make her give in to his demands. “I do not abuse drugs; and I am not intending to. If he saw that that is the scandal that will bring me down, I know he will be defeated. He wants to finish me completely. He wanted me to engage in sexual activities with him; he wanted me to work for him. I refused,” said Muhando as quoted by Wikienda.
“I have never engaged in drug abuse and the way he is talking, it is hurting my family psychologically.”
“I am a mother of three children. The false claims are being leveled against me because I do not have anyone who would fight for me. God is my defender and protector, nonetheless.
“He (tormentor) is doing all these toward me because I refused to sleep with him. When police arrest me, they often beat me senseless. I have children from previous relationships. Men took advantage of me and dumped me. I was hurt. It would have felt quite better if my fellow women were the ones exploiting me. I am now receiving death threats. I am even contemplating relocating to another country. Will he be happy if I permanently move to Kenya?”
“God will fight my battles. The heavens shall open and justice shall be served. The man has made defaming allegations against me,” says Rose Muhando.

Mwakilishi why do you publish such trash? You need to remove it
Jameni publish your own paper na tutasoma.Why does the truth hurt?Maybe it's only the so-called KENYA who does or pretends not know Muhando is ''jumping from frying pan to fire''.It's better if the lady stayed with one satan than joining DEMONS/bishops led by KENYA in hell.Muhando aambiwe sheria Kenya inakuaga kwa mufuko.Kama hana mufuko ama imeraruka,ajitayarishe UKIMWI.
Watch ur mouth bro
welcome Kenya
My best gospel artist, but if the man helped you, what were the terms? Give him his money back or sleep with him.
A woman of status, you can't be a detoother.

Dada Muhando:
Welcome to Kenya. Karibu Kenya Dada Muhando. Pole sana kwa yote yaliyokupata katika nchi ya Tanzania kutokana na tapeli ambaye anajidai ya kwamba anamtumikia " mungu wa kigeni."
I have one request to make: will you please stop singing songs that glorify the culture of son of Mariam and start composing and singing African cultural and traditional songs that will help to liberate the mind of the "traumatized" Africans after their ancestors endured slavery and and their grandchildren raised under colonialism!
Let us all (formerly traumatized Africans) work hard together and make "heaven " on earth when we are still alive and stop focusing on life after death as promoted by the religions that came form grandpa Ibrahim or Abraham.
karibu Kenya....God is there for u
