The woman who took on bravery against odds to expose the preacher (who flaunted himself as God’s High Commissioner) Walter Masocha, taking on herself “the Samson mantle,” Jean Gasho, has launched a powerful charity organisation to support victimised church people. The legendary Samson of the Bible used the jaw bone of a donkey in a flash to kill one thousand men, and Jean Gasho picked up her own “jaw” to crush the injustices of the man who called himself God’s High Commissioner and everyone’s “Daddy,” and yet was no holy man at all, being soon revealed as a sex offender preying on simple minds using God’s name.
Her organisation is called JAW – Just A Woman and seeks to help female victims of religious abuse. In a statement to ZimEye.com, Jean said, “JAW is a non-profit charity organisation with a primary goal of educating and empowering women against religious and domestic abuse.
“The charity aims to raise awareness on what religious abuse actually is, and how women can prevent themselves from falling victim to cult leaders who prey on vulnerable adults.
“JAW will also have a support network for victims of sexual abuse by the clergy, and other life threatening abuses facing women in cult like churches today.
“Religious abuse is on the rise in the United Kingdom, and our charity aims to provide a support network for such women that is so void in our communities today,” she said.
Meanwhile Jean’s father Never Gasho has spoken from Zimbabwe blessing his daughter for the work she is now doing. His tribute to her was heard by guests and speakers who attended the JAW launch in Milton Keynes on Saturday 31 May 2015. Among the guests was newly appointed Mayor of Milton Keynes Mr Keith McLean and his wife Mayoress Victoria McLean.

The Mayor encouraged Jean to continue the work she was doing and said he would support her charity in the best way he could. BEFFTA founder Pauline Long, Evangelist Kalonga and former Agape survivor Sifiso Nduna were among the guest speakers whilst International Business Entrepreneur Nick J Reynolds delivered a key note speech on breakthrough that left guests feeling motivated and empowered. Entertainers at JAW launch included Jazz singer Cynthia Gentle and Monalisa Sibanda. Children’s worker Melissa Sibanda and young Blogger Bekaa Maphosa were among the youths who graced the event with spoken word and poetry.
It has also since emerged that a preacher who worked for Masocha, was fired for supporting Jean’s plight. Evangelist Walter Nhliziyo was slapped with a P45 by Masocha making him immediately jobless. He wrote to Jean just before the function last Saturday: “This weekend we celebrate you Jean. Congratulations on the launch of JAW!!!!
To one you are a Mentor. To a few you are Mother. To many you are a Philanthropist and an Artist. To crowds you are a Blogger and Author. To multitudes you are a Women’s Rights Activist and a Survivor of Abuse. To all, and by all, you are LOVED.
We’ve heard this question thrown around in our homes of late, but where do you begin when honouring the servant life of a woman such as yourself. How do we say ‘thank you’ for all that you have sown, laid down, picked up, carried and poured into our lives? We’ve grasped for words that carry the weight and distinction that you deserve and come up wanting. So in order to best articulate what is in our hearts for you – who you are, and all that you have done – simply: a ‘Big Thank you”.
Thank you for answering the call. For building a blog and throwing open the doors.
Thank you for being sensitive to the Spirit, for committing to the personal journey of discipleship in order that we might share in the fruit of your relationship with Jesus Christ.
Thank you for counting the cost – for looking ahead and taking the road less travelled anyway.
Thank you for going the distance. For never letting anyone take advantage of who we are and what we’re all about – even if it means taking several punches every once in a while.
Thank you for leading by example –
Thank you for being you-
Thank you for BEING THERE. When the sky is falling and when all is well, proving that family is made in both the valleys and on the mountains, with equal measure of weeping and rejoicing.
Deficits have not swayed you. Critics have not moved you.
So this last weekend of May 2015, it is our deepest honour and profound privileges to share in this milestone, as you have shared in ours. Thank you does not seem enough to a woman that has personally ushered thousands upon thousands of us into the light.
Again, we say Thank You. Heaven applauds you and we rejoice that you are a sister in the Gospel.
I speak over you today the promises of GOD to a woman who has laid her life for All. And I say to you with all sincerity and belief that truly, Jean Gasho, your very best is yet to come.
With all our love,
