On September 27, 2019, gospel musician Simon Kimani, alias Bamboo, shared a remarkable story of his life, one that defies the conventional norms of the Christian faith. He revealed that he had married an active sorcerer, Erica Mutisa, a Ugandan national, in a colorful ceremony officiated by his born-again father.
Bamboo and Erica's love story began in 2009, when they met by chance. At the time, Erica was a practicing Christian, while Bamboo was still active in the secular music industry. Their love blossomed, and they eventually tied the knot in 2015.
However, what makes their story even more remarkable is Erica's past. According to Bamboo, Erica was initiated into the world of sorcery and destructive witchcraft by her paternal grandmother at the tender age of 8. She practiced this dark craft for 7 years before seeing the light and seeking Christ.
Bamboo's decision to marry Erica, a former witch, has sparked both praise and criticism. While some have applauded his willingness to forgive and love unconditionally, others have questioned his judgment. Regardless of the opinions, one thing is certain - their love story is a testament to the power of redemption and forgiveness.
