Ndola Man drags wife to court after being charged for sex

Published

on

“I have lost interest in my marriage because my wife made me pay money just so I could have sex with her,” a 32-year-old Ndola man has told the Kabushi local court.

Robert Mutale petitioned his wife Musonda Kalusha 28, for divorce after she made him pay for him to have sex.

Mutale has also told the court that his wife is believed to have used charms to stop him from having erections.

“We had a family meeting were she admitted to have done something to my manhood. She said her friend gave her nsuko to use. However, going for prayers, my manhood is back to normal,” he told court.

He narrated that after his manhood had gone back to normal, his wife still denied him sex, but that she only agreed after he started paying her.

Mutale told court that his wife stopped doing house chores and that he had been doing everything ever since she gave birth to their first child.

He told court that he has tried to involve the church pastor’s wife, but that the involvement ended in insults.

Mutale told court that his wife had a wrong group of friends and that he had also decided to divorce her because she used to borrow money aimlessly

“She is always borrowing money and has even gone to an extent of borrowing from my friends which is embarrassing. She has also started sleeping with other men and so because of all this, I have lost interest,” he said.

In her defence, Kulusha told the court that she borrowed money from people because her husband does not provide for the family.

“For the past five years, he has never bought me anything. Not even a bottle of lotion. Problems in our marriage started when his mother visited us and later she started accusing me of going out with church members,” she lamented.

In the courts judgement, divorce was granted and Mutale was told to compensate his wife K15,000.

The court further stated that the dissolution of marriage had been granted because it’s foundation was not stable as both parties had lost interest in each other.

LAZ strongly condemns brutal attack on Its member at High Court

Published

on

THE Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) has condemned the thuggery and barbaric behavior that unfolded at the High Court yesterday, where a lawyer, Linus Eyaa, was physically attacked by aggrieved members of the public.

In a statement LAZ president Lungisani Zulu said the Association has established that Mr Eyaa was merely discharging his role as a Legal Practitioner in line with the provisions of the Legal Practitioners Act, Chapter 30 of the Laws of Zambia, when he met the unfortunate fate, from an opposing group in the case involving Money Grow Cooperative.

He reminded members of the public of the critical role lawyers play in the development of society, in line with every lawyer’s statutory mandate.

Mr Zulu said acts of physical violence against members of the legal profession are inimical to the advancement of the public interest, which lawyers advance.

He said lawyers have always stood and continue to stand on the side of society, even offering pro bono services to indigents.

“That the unfortunate incident happened in the precincts of the High Court, which are considered as a “holy ground of justice” makes the incident more distressing and any efforts by any citizens to take the law into their own hands deserves condemnation in the strongest terms, by all well-meaning citizens,” he said.

Mr Zulu has since commended police for its quick action in saving the lawyer.

“We are happy to also learn that six suspects of the violence have since been arrested by Kabwata. Police and now await subsequent court appearance to answer for their irresponsible actions,” he said.
