A rather familiar narrative this! You know the narrative about a shepherd taking advantage of his flock and what not? Aye! Wel, this one happened to gospel artist Roz Haki who finally got the courage to open up about her ideal if not to heal then to atleast inspire other rape victims to speak up.

The comely gospel nightingale gave her "testimony" of triumph over a rapist who took advantage of her only for her to learn that he was a pastor. This all happened when she was young and naive and had gone out to a party in Lang'ata with friends.

According to her the pastor allegedly drugged her and took advantage of her when she had gone to one of the bedrooms to sleep off the effects of the drug. She was a virgin at the time.

According to her, this is what happened:

One evening in 2011, a friend of mine invited me for a party in Lang’ata, hoping I would meet a Ugandan artiste and possibly feature in his video. I knew the people in attendance, hence I was comfortable.

However, a former top city club manager tried to hit on me and I ignored him. Being a teetotaller, I did not imagine anything could go wrong since I was sober.

Unfortunately, at some point, I left my table with my drink unattended. When I came back to the table, I continued drinking, but I started feeling dizzy. My friend led me to a room and another guy (whom I had never met) walked in pretending to be concerned. I remember struggling with him before finally passing out. I woke up the next morning and realised that I was naked and covered in blood.

She eventually met her rapist later on in life when their paths crossed again:

A group of friends were gossiping about him and I learnt he was a former pastor who had been thrown out of church due to his unbecoming behaviour. When we met, I could not help myself and I slapped him. That’s when I began talking about the ordeal since people got curious.
