New information gathered from members of the regional diaspora points to a coordinated effort by Pastor Zebedayo Hakizimana and Kamanzi Josephine to disseminate defamatory and misleading content targeting supporters of Twirwaneho and AFC/M23 across social media platforms.
According to multiple credible sources, the two individuals are alleged to be behind a growing volume of accusations, fabricated narratives, and inflammatory statements aimed at undermining these groups’ activities and reputations. Much of this content has been shared publicly on YouTube, where the pair is said to be actively collaborating.
$6,000 Allegedly Paid to Fund Defamation Content
Sources claim that Pastor Zebedayo provided approximately $6,000 to Kamanzi Josephine to finance online programs specifically designed to discredit Twirwaneho and AFC/M23 supporters. These shows reportedly include false allegations, insults, and divisive commentary aimed at manipulating public opinion.
For weeks, Josephine has been publishing content attacking the Banyamulenge community using language that observers say promotes confusion and fuels ethnic tensions. Despite her repeated claims of having lost her home, verified information indicates she never owned one. Her supposed business ventures have also been proven false, with several individuals accusing her of defrauding them of significant sums of money.

Pastor Zebedayo Linked to Discord in Brisbane Church Community
Pastor Zebedayo himself is also the subject of controversy. Members of the Rwandan and Burundian diaspora in Brisbane, Australia, report recurrent incidents of conflict, manipulation, and defamation associated with his leadership style. His church is said to be plagued by internal divisions attributed to his conduct, with several congregants reportedly leaving as a result.
Individuals who spoke to Afrovera.com confidentially further allege that Pastor Zebedayo is under investigation in Australia for a serious offense. Details remain undisclosed as the case is still active.
Josephine’s History: P5 Agent Accused of Fraud and Youth Recruitment
Background information gathered by Afrovera.com reveals that Josephine is widely known as a P5 agent. She has long been associated with schemes involving:
- Defrauding individuals of money,
- Recruiting youth into the RNC,
- Making false promises of opportunities abroad,
- Exposing young people to risks that led to insecurity and forced displacement.
Several youths attracted by her promises allegedly ended up stranded in various African countries. She is also accused of working closely with networks in South Africa, Burundi, Sweden, Russia, Sudan, and Malawi.
Sources additionally report that she played a role in transferring minors into RNC activities, with some currently stranded in Kenya after failing to secure the international relocation she promised.
There is mounting public pressure for Rwanda’s Investigation Bureau (RIB) and other authorities to take legal action against her for alleged involvement in multiple offenses.
Testimonies gathered also indicate that Josephine collected money from numerous individuals in exchange for signed agreements claiming she would help them relocate abroad.
Claims of a Joint Strategy to Destabilize Community Cohesion
Fresh reports indicate that Pastor Zebedayo recently travelled to Rwanda, where he is believed to have met with Josephine to reinforce their cooperation. Observers say their collaboration is centered on producing coordinated online narratives designed to undermine the efforts and image of Twirwaneho and AFC/M23 supporters.
Community members warn that his actions present a broader threat to the unity and interests of the Banyamulenge people, urging increased vigilance and collective denouncement of divisive propaganda.
Diaspora Cautioned Against Manipulated Social Media Content
Rwandan and Burundian diaspora communities are being urged to critically assess information circulating online. Analysts note that misinformation driven by personal agendas can easily worsen tensions, create social fractures, and promote conflict unrelated to broader national issues.
They emphasize that the misuse of social media by individuals pursuing private gain risks fueling suspicion, division, and hostile public discourse.
Growing Calls for Investigation
This report is based on accounts from multiple independent sources who expressed concern over the potential consequences of unchecked online propaganda. Many are calling for investigative bodies in Rwanda and other jurisdictions to examine the allegations thoroughly, establish factual clarity, and protect the public from harmful misinformation.
