Her Voice. Her Truth. For the First Time: Cheryl Zondi Breaks Her Silence - Only on eNCA
For the first time since the acquittal of controversial televangelist Pastor Timothy Omotoso, Cheryl Zondi - one of his rape accusers - is speaking out publicly. And she’s doing it on her own terms.
In “He Called Himself a Pastor. She Saw a Devil,” veteran broadcaster Shahan Ramkissoon sits down with Zondi for an unflinching and deeply personal conversation. This exclusive 30-minute special brings audiences face-to-face with the woman whose testimony helped expose the dark underbelly of religious power - and ignited a national dialogue about the abuse of faith under the guise of spiritual guidance.
A Story of Pain, Power and Purpose
Cheryl Zondi was just 22 when she took the witness stand, confronting the man she says stole her innocence when she was just 14. Her testimony gripped the nation; her voice gave courage to many - and shook the powerful.
Now, in the wake of a ‘not guilty’ verdict that shocked the country, she returns - not as a victim, but as a woman reclaiming her voice and redefining her story.
“Cheryl speaks with grace, raw honesty, and a powerful sense of purpose,” says Ramkissoon. “She represents the strength so many survivors carry - often in silence. We owe it to them to listen.”
What You’ll See:
In this emotional and revealing interview, Zondi speaks candidly about:
- The personal toll of testifying in one of the country’s most high profile trial; in a public courtroom;
- What justice looks like after an acquittal;
- Her path to healing, and rediscovering her sense of faith;
- The future - for herself, and for other survivors seeking closure in a system that often fails them.
With eNCA’s signature approach to hard-hitting and fearless journalism, “He Called Himself a Pastor. She Saw a Devil” is more than a TV special - it’s a moment: a call to listen, and a call to witness.
