This is in a case in which Donald Chungu is seeking separation from his wife, Jolie Muke Chungu, who is the respondent in the case.
According to a petition for judicial separation filed in the Kitwe High Court, Mr Chungu said he got married to Ms Muke on September 15, 2005 at the Registrar’s office in Kitwe and that the couple has not lived together since July 25, 2012.
Ms Muke is a housewife and that the couple has a child together, born on April 10, 2011. Mr Chungu said his marriage is under considerable stress because Ms Muke has interfered in other people’s marriages.
Mr Chungu alleged that his wife has behaved badly and that he cannot be reasonably expected to live with her. She and their child were taken away to her parents’ residence on July 26, 2012.
He said the relationship between him and his wife has been turbulent and characterised by a lot of intrigue and arguments.
Mr Chungu alleged that his wife has interfered in other people’s marriages and that she previously delivered a child who resembles a man she is alleged to have been associated with.
He also alleged that Ms Muke has refused to take the child for a DNA test to prove paternity.
Mr Chungu also argued that he and Ms Muke had agreed that raising a family would wait until he completed his doctor of philosophy (PhD) programme.
He also said at the time he married Ms Muke, she had just completed a diploma in purchasing and supply.
Mr Chungu said to his “utter shock, surprise and disdain Ms Muke cannot read and write.
He said he has tried to employ different people to teach his wife how to read and write without success.
But Ms Muke said allegations that she interferes in other marriages and that their child is not Mr Chungu’s are not true.
She admitted having difficulties to read and write but she holds a diploma in purchasing and supply.
Ms Muke alleged that Mr Chungu was not highly educated when she got married to him and that she assisted him with funds to enable him to reach the level he has reached
She alleged that Mr Chungu is not interested in her anymore and has on several occasions brought girlfriends home and locked her and their child out.
Ms Muke alleged that Mr Chungu has committed adultery.
The matter comes up for hearing on April 12, 2013 before High Court judge Isaac Chali.

Immorality has nothing to do with marital status. It’s all about upbringing – traditional, religous etc. If one misbehaves before marriage, even as a married person he/she shall misbehave. If one is married as a virgin, even when their partner is away, he/she shall behave or atleast will fight to control themselves. Look at the following:
Betty vs Kapwepwe
Vera vs Mctribuoy
Maureen vs Darlington
Kaseba vs Lubinda
Why not TB,the youngest with fresh blood who featured at 28 years old, worse still married to an old man?
Thats why I personally do not believe that single people are a threat to marriages, it depends on ones upbringing, whether single or married.

Let them divorce, there is no concrete reason to let these two be in a marriage. But the court should allow the DNA process to ascertain the real father of the child in question!

Matters of the heart are so complicated that even the so called intellectuals cannot resolve them well nor can they understand them. Thats one area were we are all vulnerable i guess, wisdom of the heart. It appears to me that once ones gets this wisdom life never becomes a burden to them.
Coming to the entire issue of what is actually going on between Mr lecturer and Ms lecturer, its saddening to have such developments especially with peoole of the upper class like them cause its seems we are used to hear such from the people of the lower class. Look at the wife now, she has and may loose it all after thinking she had the best marriage ever. Too sad she may have to suffer the consequencies earlier in her marriage. Its a lesson to all ladies who marry intellectuals. I hope it doesnt describe a future scenario that may happen to me.

To the look of things the woman is from the rich family and wen this so called Mr Chungu met her, he didn’t bother about her failures in education instead interested in the lady’s money now after helping him through with his education he’s trying to find the ways and means of dumping the wife. In order for him to marry a woman of high calibre like him. If that is the case then it’s not fair and the wife u knw truly that wat your husband he’s saying is not true jst accept to go for DNA umumfwinshe nsoni uyu Mr lecturer.

Ba mind expert what expertise is there in you. You lamentabbly failed in lyour marriage, you also got marreid to that manager because of his educa ti on. But then he had to ditch you for your friend from Maramba because you talk to much. Uisng too many words without meaning. what matters of the heart here it is just a matter of being realistic. Shut UP your ugly big mouth and change for the better Limbi ba Lesa kuti bakugiver ko..eheeee definatelry not ba Chungu. He wants ba high profile banankwe.

Mr Lecturer you are betraying your wife real bad. Reading in-between the lines I can safely conclude that the real problem is you. Divorce that woman and be prepared to remarry and divorce over and over. Stop being emotional and act like the man of the house you ought to be.

Kwena fya kwifyaila, lecturers at cbu amaze me, wondering whether theyare pure lectures, the go out with cleaners who have no manners, the other lectuere ended up marrying a cleaner, imagine, one thing the do not understand is there two birds with different wings, they fly wrong directions, whites are not ****** for saying,birds of the same feather fly the same directions, just how can someone marry a cleaner and expect her to be have like an educated person, it will be difficult to trainer her manners, reason they have problems.
