The Matero local court heard how a 28-year-old Emmasdale wife found a picture of a naked woman in her husband’s phone sent through WhatsApp.
Chiwanza Nambela also found a WhatsApp message sent by her husband asking his girlfriend to send a picture of her private parts so that he could sleep well.
Nambela sued Mulubwa Chanda, 40, a Chinese interpreter, for divorce.
Nambela told the court that Chanda was charged three herds of cattle before she got married to him in 2011 and they have two children together.
The couple stayed in harmony only for three months until Chanda started drinking beer excessively from Monday to Sunday, as well as insulting and beating his wife.
“I recently took him to Victim Support Unit. He even accused me of being a prostitute without even caring that I have a one-month-old baby,” Nambela said.
Nambela said her husband’s strange behaviour prompted her to check in his phone and was perplexed to find a picture of his girlfriend’s private parts besides several women as his WhatsApp contacts.
“At one time I shouted at one of his girlfriends. I broke his (Chanda) phone although he apologised. He comes home at 01:00 hours drunk and wakes us up with the children, he even threatened to vomit on a one-month-old baby but after I removed the baby, he vomited on the floor,” she said.
But Chanda disputed his wife’s statement, saying he would not want to be divorced as he tolerated her even when she bit his fingers during the previous fight that had ensued.
“I go home late to avoid talking too much; I make sure I reach home when she is already asleep. Actually I recently lost US$400 and on the part of showing her my salary, I cannot because I am just a business executive,” Chanda said.
Asked by the court if he had girlfriends, Chanda said he did not have but Nambela intervened by disputing his answer, saying she was aware that he had several girlfriends in Emmasdale where he was renowned as “big buyer” in bars.
In passing judgment, senior Magistrate Lewis Mumba sitting with Pauline Newa granted the couple divorce.
“The court has found a number of problems such as lack of communication, commitment and violence. Therefore, divorce is granted,” Mr Mumba said.
The court ordered Chanda to compensate Nambela with K8,000, the initial payment being K1,000 followed by monthly instalments of K500 and to be paying the children maintenance fee of K600 per month, while property acquired together should be shared equally.
These cases only happen because we have poor people especially women under the pf who can be easily bought by a few material goods. Until you vote in the capable upnd you will continue suffering with such cases.
Ba NEZ upnd strategist na analysis yamu matako. You really disturb my mental function through your seniel analysis.
Never mind the under5, they are learning politics the wrong way.
Forget the demented oaf, in his world, he believe PF exists in California were the divorce rate is highest.
Nez y show your stupidity in public
Kiki fool
You are welcome to PF brother. Feel free, we will take care of you and we will treat your bitterness effectively to that effect.
people will vote for whoever they are comfortable with no need to insist,just chill my friend.and divorces are are all over the world even where there is no pf.
Nez all you think is foolish, why can’t u at times give us positive comments.
Nez, how can a person with five senses trust people who think like you with governance.
Ati,,,so that he could sleep well hahahahahahahahah…ine dead
Epo mpapi9le ine apo!! The sight of his girlfriend’s punani is his pacified? It must be reading a huge bedtime story for him.
He even vomited in the house,the woman had the right to question your strange behaviour. You see, even the women will run away.And when the chinese go back???
The man is useless let him be divorced
Ala katundu yakwa girlfriend chipesha mano.

Anyway sad coz its a man….. Lots of women ar month in da vice though.. Especially married idiots
NEZ is not UPND. His mission is to decampaign UPND by misrepresenting the party.
If there is a fool at room tempreture in Zambia then its Nez, he thinks too low that whatever goes wrong in the country him is to blem PF,Chikala grow up wabetole stanyoko.
Hilda hamalama -hh
“….he even threatened to vomit on the baby a one-month-old baby but after I removed the baby, he vomited on the floor.” Kwena uyu chikala litole sana. So he was actually going to puke on his own baby.
Wapya munzi. Afwile uyu cikala aalemyanga po noku myanga pali iyi ndofu
Marriages of nowadays. Just stayed in harmony for three months after marriage? One would wonder to what has happened to those old peaceful marriages where people were only separated by death. People are now getting married every weekend while others are divorcing. So shocking!
NEZ THINKS THAT PEOPLE WILL LOOK FAVOURABLY ON UPND BY PUBLISHING NEGATIVE COMMENTS ON PF. ALA ECL IS THE PEOPLES CHOICE. EVEN THROUGH THE TUMBLING KWACHA, THE UNSTABLE FUEL PRICES, THE ZESCO LOAD SHEDDING, JOB LOSES IN THE MINES ETC, PF HAS GIVEN US A CLEAR DIRECTION. THESE ARE ALL TEMPORAL SET BACKS AND WE SHALL BE WELL. AND THE PF WILL SCOOP ALL THE FORTH COMING BY ELECTIONS. SO PLEASE CHANGE YOUR TACTICS BA UPND. OTHERWISE YOU WILL FOREVER BE CONDEMNED TO LOSING. AS FOR PF, NI KOLOPA DOT COM. KIKIKIKI.
Mmmm bakamba speak for yourself… Ine I’m voting where I can see direction, there’s no direction pali ECL, his govt is clearly trial and error. MCS combined ministries him he seperates them? Which direction is this. I’m voting for someone capable. Also it is clear that NEZ is for PF his tactic is to irritate people over UPND and make it seem as tribal as possible. Its classic decampaigning.
NEZ whenever l see ur comment l feel lıke vomıtıng!
Kiki ukose because come 2016 when we form government you will be vomiting and sheeky polomya
that was your story before 20 january 2015,u are still singing the same song again
@chief of grief tamumfwa. imwe mukapwisha lisa iyo syllabus.
nez,why do u decampign upnd?learn to separate politics from real issues.its like u are hurt,deal the the pain of your soul.
NEZ ulicipuba like yo father uo babepa kuli noko ati alikumwenshi (period) kanshi cibulile juicy cola satchet casansa kundofu ati mona ilefuma.waba kwati umyanga hh paputi kapuli kobe
