CHRISTINE CHIHAME, Kitwe
A KITWE man who has been sued for child support shocked the Garneton Local Court when he said he could not support the child who is not his.
Senior magistrate Fredrick Ndhlovu ordered for a DNA test to be conducted and reserved the ruling on the matter until the court proves that the child was his or not.
He, however, ordered Kelvin Nkhoma to be supporting the child by paying K200 each month until DNA test results are known.
This is in a case in which Wesley Mumba sued Nkhoma for child support.
“You will be paying K200 each month without defaulting until DNA test is done. I will be able to rule over the matter when results are released and if it turns out that the child is not yours, she will have to give you back money,” Magistrate Ndhlovu said.
Giving her testimony before the court, Mumba narrated that the two started darting in 2009 and that she fell pregnant for him.
“After giving birth, Nkhoma named the child but to my surprise, he stopped sponsoring the baby,” she narrated.
But Nkhoma admitted having been in courtship with Mumba, but could not admit being responsible for her pregnancy.
He told the court that Mumba, who is now married, told him that he could only meet her at her grandmother’s and that she could not allow him to visit her at her parents’ home.
“I never knew that she was married until one day when I decided to visit her at her grandmother’s place when she came to visit. The child is not mine because Mumba has a husband and I am sure he is the father of the child because no woman can get pregnant outside marriage,” he said.
Magistrate Ndhlovu adjourned the matter so that a DNA test can be done.

Question is how can you support even your own child under this pf government where the cost of living has become unbearable. The kwacha has lost value. Things are bad such that some are resorting to abortions to avoid suffering. Vote upnd

If u r not supporting yo children under PF then u r fool. Coz u can’t fail to support yo children bcoz politics. Guy let us reason at times, president E.C lungu, E. Nawakwi or this Tonga bull H. Hichilema will never come at yo door step to give u some monies, just use yo brains and keep yo families. More over the child support issue has got nothing to do with PF or UPND. Mulekwatako isukulu mufimpompo fyenu.

NEZ you’re the only one in Zambia who can’t support his children in dire times like this.. coz you and your father HH ‘ve had it easy in life after having had reaped enough where you did not sow during the privatization era. l for one no matter how poor i may be, taking care of my children is priority number one and it’s nothing to do with politicts or your ka small god hh.

Pa Zed, we have more fathers than parents. Most of you guys think that being a parent starts and ends at your ejaculation inside a woman. You might as well reproduce like fish by spreading your sperm over ova. Just like NEZ exemplifies himself, you fail to feed your child coz of PF but you phuck in spite of the dollar rate?
It takes only three minutes (or less for upnd cadres, they need more time & energy to campaign) but it takes a lifetime in parenting.

In short, Mr wimp. Yes, it is possible to be a parent to a child that was fathered by some tortoise of a man elsewhere.
Personally, I have raised and educated some kids that were fathered by some idiots enjoying life elsewhere. The most embarrassing moments of their lives was when I facilitated their meeting so many years later. Friends, they really look the description of stupidity with their wide plastic smiles and bony hugs. One even offered to buy his ‘daughter’ ifitumbuwa to which my girl was allergic. The girl cried and has never wished to see the fathering lunatic ever!

How can you lead this country if the only sensible thing in your small head that comes out is negativity.
You are a Zambian. Like it or not. Edgar Lungu is your president and pf is the government of the day.
So shut up. Go find a tree to climb if you have nothing constructive to offer to this country FOOL.
