A man of Lusaka’s Matero Township has refused to reconcile with his wife claiming that she is a sex worker .
John Banda, 39, told the court that during the three years that the two had been on separation, he had on several occasions met his wife, Beauty Banda, making cash from sex.
This is a case in which Beauty, 31, sued Banda for marriage reconciliation after being on separation for three years.
Facts before the court were that the two got married in 1994 and have four children, although problems in their marriage started shortly after they tied the knot.
“I meet my wife in the streets at night in short pants, especially at Club Zone in Emmasdale selling her body. So there is no way I can reconcile with her,” Banda said.
Banda, a truck driver, said he had in the past met his wife kissing another man and wondered how she could think about reconciliation.
“I stopped telling my wife that I would be going home, but whenever I got home, I used to find that my wife was not there and used to come home around midnight drunk,” she said.
But Beauty told the court that she was sent packing three years ago by her husband without any reason.
She said she had tried to seek audience with her husband so that the two families could help in resolving the problem but nothing had worked, hence her decision to seek court intervention.
Beauty said her husband told her to go and stay with her parents for some time so that she could be taught how to live in a marriage.
“I have been waiting for my husband to come and talk to my parents so that we could get back together but my husband has never bothered to do so,” Beauty said.
“He is accusing me of getting all household goods but he is the one who packed everything for me.”
Magistrate Patronella Kalyelye, sitting with Lewis Mumba, said marriage reconciliation had failed because the man had refused to reconcile with her. In any case the couple had been on separation for too long.

This is a pure sign of lack of empowerment of women in Zambia. Thanks to the PF’s failures to ensure empowerment at grass root level. In a society where empowerment had reached grass root level, this woman wouldnt be so desperate to get back with this man. She would instead be on her way to start a new life and move on. Poverty really can make people sink so low such that they become so dependent on another like a baby and its mother’s milk . Vote UPND to ensure effective empowerment of women using a bottom to top approach

kiki mwalishita yacht. You see am proud of you if you own that. However, my only aim and hope is to make sure as many zambians as possible get to the level where they can also buy such expensive boats and enjoy life. This is our aim as UPND and am sure you would want this for your countrymen too. Join us and together we can make it work

The majors in zambia have a funny way of expressing themselves. it seems most army staff tend to lack in the department of communication and people skills. Usually they are used to screaming a bunch of gibberish few words to each other in the army as a form of communication. I see it when they train, hence major chileshes two word comment here.

It is the oldest profession on earth that we all know. However, that doesnt mean that we cannot ensure that people have a choice whether to get into it or not. It is not morally right that people are forced into this due to economic hardships.

You think a road and bridge is development? Kiki you must be drunk with poverty. Those are things that should be provided by any government. Zambians are giving that pathetic government revenue and therefore expect them to build basic infrastructure.

Please come up with job creation for our youth and facilitate the development of new businesses by local zambians and then maybe we can talk development. Foolish cadre

The man said he is not able to reconcile with the wife bcoz he MEETS the wife cuddling with different men…that is after separation. Not that he MET (first time) prior to marriage.She was not a sex worker…uuum but problems started soon after marrying.
(1) The problem is the man’s occupation of being away from home for days.
(2) The quality of Human being in this so called Lady. Genetic?
(3) This P enlargement and mutoto which were known quietly then today play its own music to its audience and the less endowed watch helplessly.
(4) Times are hash to the weak and have nots and this citizen empowerment something does not share with the unknown.
To live a life with out money..the Devil rubs his hands like a house fly sure of its next stop!!!

the story to me is not adding up…….the man met his wife in the streets, the woman is 31 years old and the man is 39 and the two got married in 1994 meaning the woman was 10 years old then and the man was 19. So how would someone meet a ten year old in the streets and marry as a wife? I smell defilement here……

I suspect it is a typing error on the part of tumfweko (as usual). I think they meant to write that the man got married in 2004.
