KISORO: Angry residents in Kisoro Hill Village, Kisoro Municipality, have chased away a self-proclaimed pastor, accusing her of causing increased violence and family breakups among residents.

The pastor, identified as Justine Majambere, is in her 40s and has been living in Russia, a section of Kisoro Hill Village, for over five years. Originally from Mubuga-Gasave in Nyakinama Sub-county, Kisoro District, Majambere had moved to Russia in search of urban services and rented a place there.

Residents allege that she is responsible for various family breakups and incidents of violence in the area. They claim that her negative prophecies, such as predicting deaths, school dropouts, beatings, and robberies, invariably come true.

Residents further argue that living with such individuals hinders the development of the area. Russia in Kisoro Hill, Kisoro Municipality, is known as a hideout for criminals, which exacerbates the residents’ concerns.
