By MUNIDE ZULU
A LUSAKA man shocked a fully packed court when he begged his adulterous wife to rescind her decision of divorcing him as he was willing to forgive her and change her bad deeds.
Evangelist Spencer Mutale begged Petronella Madima in the Lusaka Boma Court that he would do everything possible to make their marriage work, saying he will take his wife for prayers so she can stop prostitution.
“I know that my wife has a spiritual problem which I believe can be resolved and she will become a good woman she used to be,” Evangelist Mutale said.
In passing judgment, the court said it is very rare for a man to beg an adulterous woman to reconcile with him.
This was heard before senior court magistrates Robert Zulu and George Kaoma in a case in which, Mutale was sued by Petronella Madima for divorce.
They got married in 2005 and have four children together.
Evangelist Mutale said his wife always made an excuse to leave home so that she could go with her friends who are prostitutes to drink beer and patronise bars.
He said he was shocked one time when his wife abandoned him and his children for 10 days, but she would only come back to her home to cook and prepare warm water for him to bath.
“When I knock off from work, I used to find food set on the table and water for bathing, I could just eat and take a bath knowing that my wife will one day come back to me,” Evangelist Mutale said.
He said when he reconciled with his wife after pleading with her; she developed a habit of spending nights outside her matrimonial home every weekend.
“The other time I made her walk on foot from our home in Ngombe to her mother’s home in Matero around 22:00 hours because she lied that she had gone to see her mother. I was very furious that I even beat her up when her mother told me that she did not go there,” Evangelist Mutale.
In her earlier statement, Madima told the court that she wants her marriage dissolved because her husband wants her to have a child every year.
But her husband Mwanza told the court that she (Madima) is the one who told him to give her 12 children because they are very few in her family.
“I wanted to show my wife that I am a strong man so I decided to make her pregnant every year. Since she wants to have 12 children and we only have four, I can give her the remaining eight to make the number complete,” he said.
But Madima said her husband used to make her have children every year in order to prevent her from furthering her education.
“I can not manage to have children every year and I want him to give me shares from his company because I contributed so much for it to be where it is,” she said.
The court granted divorce and offered no compensation to Madima.
The court wondered why Madima preferred doing prostitution at the expense of her marriage.
“Women suffer so much just to find men to marry them. They reach an extent of going to witchdoctors to give them charms. Why don’t you then want to keep your marriage? The court asked Madima.

I agree with Mbulo, the pastor was pretending to avoid copmensation, on the second though, may be its a power of forgiveness.

I call that wisdom. …and the adulterous wife diddn’t see it coming because she prefered the darkness rather than the light! What can you see in the dark? He moungted and an eagle in the sky and she just couldn’t see him coming.
Evangelist, take of the kids (only four) besides, you still have a lot of work to make it 12!

I feel so honored to be the first comment. All of my hardwork and dedication has paid off. Getting the top comment has been a dream of mine for many years, and i would like to thank those who have helped me along the way. First and foremost i would like to thank god for giving me this opportunity. Next i would like to thank my parents. I would also like to thank my pet tadpole for surviving against all odds for over a week. Next i would like to thank the squirrel that lives in my backyard for climbing trees because that gives me inspiration that i need to get through the day.This is a special moment in my life and i would like to thank any of my unmentioned friends and family that have helped me along the way. This moment will be a moment that i will never forget. I just remembered a few other people i would like to thank; facebook, the fish i caught in the third grade, my light in my room bc i wouldn’t be able to see the keyboard without it, the internet for letting me go on facebook, my house because without it i would be homeless, and last but not least i would like to thank all the people out there that actually took time out of their day to read this. I cannot stress how much of a big deal to me this is. I have been trying to be the first comment on a post for years, but that has not been possible until this amazing day. Hopefully my good luck will continue, but this is undoubtedly a rare occasion. If you asked me how i did this, i would say, you can achieve anything u set your mind on. To all the kids out there reading this, i would like to tell them to follow their dreams. Being the first comment is amazing, thank you everyone.

I would also beg her to come back for the same reasons.
“but she would only come back to her home to cook and prepare warm water for him to bath”.
“When I knock off from work, I used to find food set on the table and water for bathing”

To err is human, to forgive is divine… so goes the old adage. Let’s all learn the virtue of forgiveness. God smiles on those who are able to forgive.

Haven’t you read? The bible says that infidelity is the only reason that is permitted for a man to put away his marriage because of the hardness of our hearts. So it is up to you to divorce or forgive her though it is for your own good to forgive so that God can also forgive you the mountains of sins you keep burdening yourself with over and over and over and OMG!
