Man Accused Of Satanism, Leaves Matrimonial Home
A LUSAKA man has narrated in the Matero Local Court how he left his matrimonial home after his wife accused him of practicing Satanism after the death of their third child.
William Mwanza, 35, of Rhodes Park told Senior Court Magistrates Pauline Newa and Lewis Mumba that Lister Tembo, 31, of Zingalume township has been blaming him for the death of their two children.
Mwanza was narrating in a case in which Tembo sued him for divorce. The two got married in 2008 and had three children together. Two have since died. Bride price was paid.
He said when their second child died; Tembo started accusing me of killing my child. Mwanza said after the accusations intensified, he called for a family meeting where both families were present.
“She admitted having accused me of killing our children and apologised in their presence. Later, she started accusing me again and that was what prompted me to move out of our matrimonial home. In fact, I wanted to take her back to her parents’ home but she refused,” he said.
He said he did not want to be married to Tembo anymore in case another child dies as he fears she will blame him.
“I want to be alone and enjoy my life the way I am living it,” he said.
But in her statement, Tembo told the court that two weeks after the death of their child, Mwanza left the funeral house only to return months later.
“He only came back for a few days then left again after packing a few of his clothes. Before leaving, my relatives asked him why he had left me, he replied that he no longer wanted to be with me.So, I have brought him to court so that he may officially deny me and the marriage can be dissolved,” she said.
Passing judgement, the court granted divorce with no compensation. Mwanza was however ordered to pay K500 monthly as child maintenance starting November month end. The couple was also ordered to share household property equally.

There’s no smoke without fire. The wife might have noticed some peculiar behaviour in the hubby. Blood money is common in Africa, Zambia inclusive. “Avyakuloola vye”

We Zambians should accept things not being denial and blame our close families for deaths. I went through the same thing with my aunt who accused me of being a witch after her mother died. I am a God believer and I pray all the time I try to help as much as I can. This person hates me since I was young and am only in my early 30s I have forgiven her so many times and this time I have to separate from her because I think she is bi polar and she needs God more than anything.
