The Chilenje local court has granted divorce to pastor George Mwape Musendeka of Bethan Christian Centre and his first wife Mavis Phiri who accused him of bigamy. Senior presiding magistrate In’utu Mulenga warned Pastor Musendeka that he will be arrested for Bigamy.
Earlier Mavis told the court that her former husband turned her into a punching bag and that he used to reach home around midnight with tablets of sexual boosters called seven hours.
But pastor Musendeka told the Court that Mavis was behaving like a mad person and was allegedly demon possessed. The court has ordered the man of God to pay Mavis Fifteen Thousand Kwacha as compensation to be paid in monthly installments.

Bigmay is when you marry or get married to another person before dissolution of your legall marriege and if your partiner happens to loose contact with you,have to wait till seven years or if you marry before seven years,your partiner can still sue you for bigamy.in a nut shell.

Can we say say polygamy is also Bygamy then? Not all first wives in polygamy accepted second wives in the first lace.

The law says when you want to marry a second wife you have to get permission from your first wife and you have to state the reason why you want to do so….sometimes its ignorance of the law or law being in conflict with our tradition customs.The law is silent on a woman wheather she should get permmission from the husband.

Xristian missionaries have hid behind the cloak of religion, to disrupt the lives and harmony of indigenous people, Today most Africans continue to worship a muzungu god. They do not understand. Do not get me wrong, there are a couple of positives however the negatives, Outweigh the positives. Every people and culture have a recognition of a creator in harmony or relevant to their environment and culture.I have no doubt that most of these so called “pastors, men of god, prophets…etc..” are not true followers of Christ. They are most probably wolves in sheep’s skin as they Bible says… who have copied the ways of the first missionaries to swindle and blind people.

THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF MARRIAGE IN ZAMBIA. SOME OF THEM HAVE NO ISSUE WITH BIGAMY AND ONE BEING TAKEN TO COURT.

Prisoner efyo walanda fyamano. Africans allow a man to marry more than one wife because they know that men’s libidos outlasts women. Men will still be turned on by a woman even when they are 90. Sex being natural a man who needs it should be legally allowed to seek a partner when his first wife is not interested on sex. It’s Europeans who imposed the one man one wife concept on us africans in the name of civilisation. Of course we are now realising not everything the white man brought is for our good health. For example the whites are now telling us it was wrong to adapt to their processed foods because they have caused us HBP diabetes obesity heart diseases. But we have become addicted to their junk
