Church leaders kicked out Pamela Bako after she visited a traditional healer. The woman ran naked from Sekuru Sinaro's mountain shrine over the weekend. Her church forbids members from seeking help from sangomas. Bako explained her actions to church elders but they refused to listen. She cannot attend services anymore because of her decision.
Bako separated from her husband who became angry about the sangoma visit. The husband feels upset that she took their baby to the traditional healer. Sources say Bako lives in Budiriro with volunteer support. She joined two other women named Shillah Mabvudzi and Talent at the shrine. The sangoma gave them herbs during a mountain ceremony.
Bako overheard the sangoma's assistants planning something frightening. Fear made her run away without clothes from the cleansing ritual. The incident drew attention from church members who questioned her actions. Bako admits she needs help but regrets losing her church community. Traditional healing conflicts with Christian beliefs at her former church.
