Patrick Mwanawasa resigns from his government job as deputy permanent Secretary for central province.

Mwanawasa is involved in a court case in which he has been sued for adultery.

A Lusaka businessman has sued central province deputy permanent Secretary Patrick Mwanawasa for adultery, ie, having illegal, immoral sex with a person married to someone else.

Lombe Paul Ikechi Okpara has also sued foreign affairs permanent Secretary Ronald Simwinga for adultery with the same woman.

According to papers filed in the Lusaka high court, Lombe swears that his wife has admitted to committing adultery with both Mwanawasa and Simwinga.

Lombe therefore seeks to divorce his wife Musamba Samantha Mulenga Okpara because of her extra marital affairs with the permanent Secretaries.

But will Simwanza follow suit ? Highly doubtful
