A Lusaka man fed up with his wife comparing him to her former lovers has begged the Matero Local court to grant divorce so he can also meet a woman who will appreciate his lovemaking techniques.
Barely one year in marriage, Keno Mainga, 33, of Lusaka’s Chazanga township tearfully rejoiced after he was granted divorce. This is in a case in which, he sued his wife Carol Bwalya,30, for marriage dissolution.
“Things changed after three month of marriage when my wife started threatening to squeeze my manhood every time we had a misunderstanding. She is also fond of comparing me to her former boyfriend; that he was a gentleman who knew how to satisfy and maintain a wife and not me,” he said.
In his statement before Senior court magistrates Pauline Newa, Mainga said he only enjoyed the first three months of his marriage and thereafter, marital problems started.
The two got married in 2014 and have one child together. Bride price was not paid.
Mainga told the court that his wife is fond of telling him that he is weak in bed.
He told the court that every time he tries to make advances; his wife would jump off the bed to put on a tight pair of jeans while telling him not to dare touch her.
Mainga told the court that as days went by Bwalya moved out of their bedroom and started sleeping in the sitting room.
“I later discovered she was having an affair with a bus driver. Whenever, I questioned her about the allegations, she would get upset and stop cooking or preparing water for me to bath. Some of her friends have been mocking me, telling me that I have a ‘brother’ who is fond of visiting my wife when I go for work, yet I have no brother,”
Mainga said he fears being infected with HIV/AIDs due to Bwalya’s alleged promiscuity.
In her defence, Bwalya told the court that problems started when their first child was born and that her husband is promiscuous and irresponsible.
“He has an affair with a business woman and he is fond of disclosing our intimate issues to her,” Bwalya told the court.
Passing judgment, the court granted divorce and ordered Mainga to compensate Bwalya with K1,000 as compensation in monthly instalments of K300 starting by the month end. He was also ordered to pay K200 monthly as child maintenance with first instalment also being this month end. And the couple was ordered to share the property equally.
My friends who work for the local courts in Zambia disclosed to me that cases of divorce have worsened since President Lungu took office early this year.
This is because economic hardships of the visionless Lungu has torn families as a lot of them go for many days without food on their tables.
Hunger which is being experienced in Zambia because of the satanic president is affecting and dividing alot of families.
Edgar Lungu is the most useless president since independence.
Demented and disgruntled Sangoma masquerading as a medical doctor only appreciated by desperate cadres of a certain party that after 14 years of trying would embrace wizards and witches if only to win an election.
Hildah indeed that is true. You couldn’t have put it any better. The pf do not stand for the family unit. Zambia since 2011 has lost its value it once attached to the importance of family values and norms. We humbly ask you Hildah and rest of Zambians to vote upnd in 2016. Nez live from Norway
A medical doctor with such a peculiar sarcastic tone of language.. attending to me, “i can’t never”. l would rather die than letting such a person puffing with so much hate and anger torch my sorry self. Ba Malama mulecefyako ubukali, bushe nangu mwalimupata umuntu nifii! U can’t be relating divorcies to the president. Are you saying that when your infallible kachema..forms govt things ‘ll be as good as it’s in heaven?.. then i can’t wait for that govt!
Vote for it in 2016 then. We thank you
Ba Nez pliz learn to call a spade by it’s name why do you always call a spade Lungu or PF? everything evil in all the govts anywhere in the world started way back, in the garden of eden. no mater what man can do these shall forever be.. remember we’re living in end-times. matthew 24:11,12.
We have been “living in end times” since the 80s. A lazy man’s excuse thar is what that is. Pf are good at such
The problem with you Tongas is that there is no logic with you. I can never vote for HH simply because of the way you support him, headlessly. HH is really sick in the head, why would he expect to rule the country with the support of only 3 provinces? He is insane!
its not about UKUMUPATA, its about yo dad buying beers 4 friends and coming home drunk with empty hands and u as his children not going to school bcoz of no cash and u c him not puting much efort. wen yo mama ask he is threatend. at last u ll end up in streets stealing using yo dad’s barets, t shirts and flags. is it not happening now?
wasosa bwino jebo. meanwhile Botswana reduced fuel pump pricd
Tawale mufikapo batini?

Divorce is not always the solution. These judges should take courses in dispute resolution. Not divorce was granted all the time.
